10 - Everything Old is New Again

It had been a quiet few months, with the couple preparing for the baby. But October was fast approaching, with the ninth being Dee's due date. It was October 8th, and the two were relaxing in the living room when Dee suddenly gasped in pain. Noel shot forward and looked into her eyes.

"Noel... she's not waiting any longer, is she?"

"No, babes. Come on, let's get you to the hospital!"

The labour was long, hard and painful. Eventually, after much screaming, the room fell silent, and a lone cry rang out across the building. Noel stared straight at his girlfriend's face.

Then welcomed Heather to the family.

She was so small. And while she may not have looked spectacular there now, being covered in blood and placenta and all that, she was still beautiful. And she always would be.

The End.
