Emma looked around the crowded room, the doctor holding up her baby, telling her she could change her mind. And in that moment, she realized that that little boy was hers. No one else could have him, he was her baby. Henry. That's what she would name him. He was hers.
...
Emma didn't know what got into her. Maybe it was just because it had been 5 years, maybe she was desperate. But the date went too far. And now she was pregnant.
...
"Congratulations, Emma. Here are your two twin girls."
"Their names are... Maryn. And Nella."
"Well then, here they are."
...
Emma woke up in the small apartment and smiled. She had Henry, and Maryn, and Nella. Everything she needed. She looked at the clock, and realized with a start it was 8:28. Her boss had asked her to be there at 9. And Henry's school started at 8:45. She jumped out of bed, and ran into Henry's room.
"Kid, get up! It's time for school!"
Henry got up and looked at the clock. "Gah!", he yelled.
He started getting ready, as did Emma. She called the babysitter two apartments down and said, "Need you to watch the girls in 5 min, just for a couple hours."
"Ok", said Georgia, who was always up early, and always eager for a job.
Emma brushed her teeth, making sure Henry did as well, put a nutrition bar in his bag, and ran out the door, leaving $30 on the counter. Just as she left, Georgia entered the apartment. It was 8:37. She jumped in the car, as did Henry, and barreled out of the apartment building's parking lot. They got to Henry's school at 8:44, just in time.
"Have fun kid!"
"I will, Mom", said Henry, and ran in the door.
Emma hit the gas and drove out of the school parking lot, getting to the meeting spot at 8:58. She parked and hurried to where the boss was.
"Just in time, Ms. Swan."
"Yes sir."
"Now, Emma..."
Crap, she thought. He only called her Emma when something serious was going on.
"We have a new bail-bondsperson job for you."
"But I'm in the middle of -"
"Annabelle's got it. We need you on this new one."
Emma sighed, "Where is it?"
"Hong Kong."
