Time Period: A Flashback
Date: 9-11-2001
Event: Alexandria's birth
Conrad's p.o.v (20 years old)
A frantic nurse storms into the delivery room. "Terrorists have attacked the world trade center in New York. The end is coming" she yells. "A woman is giving birth here. You have no respect for her and her family" the doctor reprimand his colleague. Joyce turns to me for comfort and I can the fear in her pretty brown eyes. "The world has become a dangerous place. Today is a terrible day for a baby to be born" she stresses. "Alexandria is arriving right on time. Her life is both a miracle and a blessing. She has come into our lives for reason. Everything will be okay" I assure my highschool sweetheart who is now my wife. The baby is super close and Joy can't prolong the birth much longer. Our daughter Alexandria Kennedy Rory Hawkins brings hope and joy into our dark world.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Conrad's p.o.v
When we return home from the bed, Nic heads straight for the bed. I lay down beside and put my arms around her stomach. Alexandria and Joyce who has recently remarried and died in childbirth fade to the background of my mind."We will never have a baby and it is all my fault. I am so sorry, Conrad" Nic sobs hard and long. My heart bleeds and breaks for her. "We should get a third opinion" I suggest. "We will probably get the same results" she predicts. "I apologize for keeping Alex a secret. Alex is not just my little princess, she is yours too. She has come into our lives for a reason. We love you" I console Nic. "I love you and Alex too" she admits.
