Chapter 12

The ambulance took awhile to get to the area that they were, but they arrived with a stretcher and all sorts of medical equipment. Alex ran up to meet them. "I did it!" He yelled. "Its here! We have a daughter!" Meg, Tess, Jodi, Terry, Becky, Nick and Jake were all there. "Wow! Well done Alex!" Tess told him.

Alex ran down into the shade of the tree where Claire was lying with the tiny baby wrapped in her arms. The doctor cut the umbilical cord and let her rest. "Alex – look at her! Isn't she so small?" Claire could hardly raise her voice.

"Yea, she's adorable!"

"Hey Louise, that's your Daddy!" Claire and Louise looked up at Alex. Both had identical shining eyes and brown curls of hair.

"Looks just like you, Claire! – Perfect in every way!"
