Hi, I'm sooooo sorry I haven't updated in so long, my computers went haywire, to say the least. Don't kill me. This chappie is short, I couldn't really think of anything.
I own nothing.
The next nine months were practically uneventful. Molly had 'promoted' herself to nanny and was busting around, getting everything ready for the baby.
The first snow was on December 2. They were being lazy, because it was Sunday, and Rose didn't have to work. All of a sudden, Rose started gasping and said, "The baby's coming."
-------------------
They had gotten her to the doctor's office, and once again, the two were told to wait. It was agonizing, but finally a nurse came and, grinning, said, "Congratulations. It's a girl."
Jack got up and walked into the room. Rose was lying on the bed, holding the baby. She looked up and saw Jack, and her face broke into a smile. Jack came over and stood next to her to look at his daughter.
"She looks like my mom," Jack commented.
Rose had been wondering where the green eyes had come from. Now that he said it, he did look like the woman in that picture.
"Can we call her Ellie?"
Rose turned to look at him. A bit of pain was twisted into his face. That was the name of his sister, Rose recalled. "Yes," Rose replied simply, No more words were needed. She understood.
"It's a tribute to her. I never spoke about her. I never told anyone but you two, not even Fabrizio. And he was my best friend. I fell I owe it to her."
Rose nodded. "I understand."
Like I told you, really short. I'm sorry. I had a bit of writer's block, and I wanted this to stand on it's own. I'll update when I think of something. I know you hate me for making you wait this long then giving you this tiny pathetic scrap of writing, but I have to.
