The Million Dollar Baby:
Chapter 11
BPOV
I couldn't believe it, it was already Christmas Eve and I was 8 months pregnant, how the time had passed so quickly without me realizing, I had no idea. In fact just looking at the lights twinkle around the Christmas tree that decorated the middle of the shelter I couldn't help but ask myself 'was this what was meant for me?' don't get me wrong I was more than glad that I would have a precious baby girl, but I was still a little worried. There were just so many what if's, that chased themselves in my head that I didn't really know what to do with all of them. In the end I suppose all is good though. Judy ended up giving birth to a beautiful baby boy who looked just like her and she currently lived in a small apartment building that the shelter had helped her find and set a rent price on it. Seeing that it was Christmas Eve it was only right to have the whole group together. There was just no fun without it, besides these girls helped me with so much at least that's what I would like to think.
"Mrs. Cullen" said a timid voice from behind me; no doubt it was Judy, since she was the only one who was so incredibly timid at this day and age.
"Yes, Judy?" I said staring up at the Christmas tree that was adorned with many things that hung from the branches; there was even a large red ribbon that was wrapped around it that it gave the tree a special feel to it.
"I-I was wondering, if you would help me perhaps, with a job that I was assigned two weeks ago at my new job, and I was a little unsure on what to do" she asked me looking down at her feet.
The thing with Judy was that she was one of the women who had been married young to a man who loved to drink; however whenever he drunk he became horribly violent and demanding, so she wasn't accustomed to really asking for anything. When I first came to the shelter she couldn't utter a single word without fear in her eyes. It shocked me, and I worked most with her.
It was needed in a job to be social active and kind and forthcoming with answers that were said with confidence. Well that and perhaps a few skills here and there.
"Of course I would love to help you Judy, so how is baby Joseph?" I asked as she grinned at me. She was a whole head shorter than I but she was still such a frail little thing in my eyes. Much like a small child; only one who gave birth.
"He's with all the girls right now and I've no doubt that he's enjoying all of the attention he's getting" she said proudly "let me just go and give one of the girls his bottle and I'll be back with my laptop and we can get started"
"Well alright" I said over my shoulder, I don't know what captivated me so much about the tree but I only know that it was a little hard to resist. Despite all the cute things that the girls had made for the tree I felt that there was something missing. I sighed and looked around the whole room looking for whatever it was that I thought was missing. Just then I spotted a small ceramic decoration that was probably lost throughout the decorating of the tree. It lay on top of red tissue paper close to one of the larger windows of the shelter on the west side.
Slowly I walked to it, well more like waddle to be more precise just managing to be able to reach it without too much of a struggle.
It turned out to be a dove with an olive branch in its mouth, how odd I thought those little things came in two's.
'Oh well, one will have to do' I thought as I made my way to the large tree looking for a small place to put the little dove on.
"There" I said as I spotted a little empty space between candy canes and frilly bows.
"Damn, I'm too short…well maybe…" I told myself as I looked at the ladder not two feet away from me in a tempting way. I could already hear a little voice in my head that sounded oddly like Edward telling me that it was a bad idea and that I should probably let the girls put on this little thing.
"It's just for a moment, I'm not going to fall if I do it fast" I murmured as I looked around to see if the ghost was clear all the while stepping up to the first step.
Soon enough I was high enough to easily put the little dove on its intended place that I had chosen for it and it had only taken me 5 steps out of the full 8.
"Ok" I told myself "now to make my way down..."
"MRS. CULLEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" yelled Judy from behind me making me jump and lose falter a little bit. But in the end, gravity is always against everything.
Despite how fast Judy ran toward me I was already aware that it was too late. My foot had slipped from the step and I could feel myself already falling from the steps. I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip. It felt almost like it was all going slow motion.
"OH MY GOD!" Judy said as she barely got to my side just as I hit the floor on my back "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Mrs. Cullen. Oh god what should I do?" she said nervously already panicking.
"It's ok Judy, I'm fine" I grunted as I tried to get up, just then a large pain began to fill my body and I gasped at the movement. I felt something wet on the inside of my thighs.
"Judy, it's my water, it broke" I said as I reached to touch between my thighs, but when I saw what coated my fingers, I fainted from the pain. It wasn't clear liquid at all…it was blood.
The last thought that registered in my mind was 'I'm so sorry Edward'
THE END!
