Beginning of November
Amy sat on the swing in the empty playground, just sitting and thinking about the future. She sat there thinking back to the night before and how it changed everything.
The night before
Amy and Ephram were watching old home movies of when they were little, Amy thought of the idea so she had him come over with one from his childhood, and then they would watch one of hers. After watching Amy at the tender age of 5 sing Madonna's Vogue in front of her family on Christmas morning wearing care bear pajamas with her hair in a side ponytail. And Ephram when he was a baby learning how to walk and then him running through central park naked when he was 2 was enough to send both Amy and Ephram into a fit of giggles. Amy stopped laughing and quickly clutched her stomach staring at Ephram. Thinking something was wrong he immediately jumped up and sat in front of her. "Amy what's wrong is it the baby?" he asked concern in his voice and in his eyes. Amy nodded dumbstruck and grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach the same place she clutched it. He gave her a look of confusion until he felt it. A light thump on the palm of his hand. He looked down at her stomach and then back up at her with complete and udder astonishment and pride in his eyes. Amy lost in the emotions running through her and Ephram's penetrating gaze leaned forward and captured his mouth in a long sweet kiss. As they pulled away Amy smiled at him. "Why did you do that?" he asked. She looked at him and stated "Because I love you. I don't know when it happened but it did and I am really grateful it did, you've been here for me through everything and I love you for it. I love the way you look at me. I know I'm still getting over Colin but somehow along the way I fell for you." he looked at her and kissed her breath away. "I love you too" he murmured as he enveloped her into a tight embrace.
Amy smiled at the memory and rubbed her protruding stomach with her gloved hand. She stood up and walked the short distance to Ephram's knocked and waited for someone to answer the door. It took less than a minute before Delia opened the door with Bright behind her both laughing and out of breath. Amy looked at them quizzically, Bright saw the look and explained "Dr. Brown had to go to a conference and Nina isn't home and Ephram is looking for you actually so grandma called me asking if I wanted to babysit for a few hours. I figured why not its money and Delia here is a pretty fun kid to hang out with." at that said Delia beamed up smiling her biggest most puppy love stricken smile she could give. Amy laughed at the expression on Delia's face and shook her head. I bet you one day they'll end up together she thought to herself. She walked down the steps and then proceeded to town in search of Ephram. As she walked past Mama Joy's she saw him. She smiled and kissed him hello. They held hands and walked to her house where they were going to study for their AP English test together. As they sat Amy looked up and asked him a question that had been bugging her all day. "Eph what's gonna happen to us after I have this baby?" Ephram looked up surprised and answered slowly "Well I figured we could raise her together I mean not like move in together cause were nowhere near ready for that. I will always be here for you and for her, I know she wont be my actual daughter but I will love her like she was, hell I already do and I love you so that's the only logical step I can think of." Amy smiled and kissed him. They finished off the afternoon studying and making out.
January 2nd
Amy walked around her room completely miserable she was a week overdue and she was so big and heavy feeling she could barely move. Ephram walked in and handed her a bottle of water she had requested. They had been dating for over 2 months and things between them were great they couldn't be happier, they were expecting a child any day now. They were on break from school since it was new years and all. Amy suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and back area and sat down thinking it was a cramp from standing to long. But then when she was hit with another one 8 minutes later she knew it was labor. "Eph I think its time, I think im having contractions. As she stood up she felt a rush of something escape her and looked down to see a small puddle of fluid with white flaky things in it. "Uh yea that was defiantly my water breaking" Ephram raced over and helped her change from her oversized t-shirt she had been wearing to a pair of sweats and a shirt. He helped her down the stairs to where his dad and the Abbotts were talking. They looked up to see their children coming down carrying Amy's duffle bag. "Is it time?" Harold asked his daughter, at her nod he went to start the car while the rest helped Amy get everything together. They all got into two cars, Andy driving himself, Delia and Bright, while Harold drove Amy, Ephram and Rose. They arrived at the hospital in record time. They checked Amy in and Rose and Ephram went in with her while the rest waited. 17 hours later a haggard looking Rose walked into the room smiling with tears streaming down her face. "She's here, She's finally here, Amy did so good, their both getting cleaned up I figured I would give the new family a little time alone" Rose said as she hugged Harold. Bright and Delia who were playing cards stood up and hugged everyone.
Amy looked down at her sleeping daughter and smiled. She had done it, she had given birth to a happy, beautiful healthy girl. The little girl yawned and opened her bright blue eyes, eyes she knew would stay blue forever, they were her fathers eyes. Amy grasped her tiny hands, long sleek fingers, fingers she knew would play the piano like her daddy and long legs she knew would dance like hers had. She leaned down and kissed her head We did good Colin, I wish you could be here but know were taken care of us both of us. I will always love you but I am in love with Ephram now. He's good for us. Don't worry she will always know about you Ephram and I both agreed to that. Watch over her and us .I love you She looked up and at Ephram who was just staring at her in awe. She handed her daughter over to her daddy, Ephram gladly accepted her and held her gently like she was going to break if he held her wrong. He looked down and she burrowed into his arm. And grabbed his finger and held it staring up at him through her long lashes. He smiled as she fell back asleep in his arms. Amy fell back and closed her eyes exhausted from the seventeen hours of labor. Just as she was drifting off there was a knock at the door, Amy opened her tired eyes and looked at Ephram who said "Come in." Harold , Andy, Delia and Bright walked in. Harold smiled and kissed his daughter "I am so proud of you Amy I love you and I love her." Andy smiled at the image of his son holding the baby. He knew it would be tough for them since they were only 17, but he knew in the long run they would make it out fine. "What's her name?" Delia asked as she held her honorary niece. Amy smiled and looked at Ephram. "Well after much discussion we chose Laurel Sophia Colleen Abbott. And eventually when and if Ephram and I make it to the point where we marry she will have his last name." Amy said smiling. Harold held his granddaughter lovingly and replied "Laurel, that's absolutely beautiful."
As Amy slept Ephram got to talking to his new "daughter". "Laurel I will always love you no matter what happens between your mom and I, and know that just because you are not my biological daughter, that does not mean I do not love you like my own. I may only be 17 but I know that I will always be there for you, your dad is up and heaven and I know he is looking down on you and smiling. Your loved by many kid your lucky." Ephram smiled and kissed his daughter.
AN: Thats the end guys. Hope you all liked it. I will be writing an epilogue at some point soon. Thanx for waiting patiently for this.
