Sorry about the delay.. it was what, 4 months?? I still have a month left
of summer and I'll try to put up some new chapters.
Chapter 6 -
Jamie had a startled look on her face. She didn't know whether or not to tell him the truth, or say she had just gone on a walk. But, being Jamie she knew she had to tell the truth. "I was at the hospital an..."
Landon didn't let her finish the sentence "Are you okay? What happened? Do you have to go back?"
"Just listen Landon... Let me finish. I was at the hospital, and I was looking at all the babies through the window and thought 'wouldn't it be nice to have one'. Then a woman came up from behind me. She was wearing a hospital gown. She pointed at a baby in pink, with the name Alice. She said 'That's mine. I don't know what to do. I feel so glad to have her, but I can't take care of her.' I told her that she's just being silly, every woman knows how to take care of a child. But she said 'You put this gown on, pretend you're her mother. We look nearly the same, it won't matter. Please, just do this one thing for me. I'll give you my number, so we can stay in contact. I just cannot take care of a baby right now, and I don't think I ever will be able to."
Landon, just bursting with things he wanted to say, couldn't keep quiet. "What did you do?"
"I asked her if she were positive, and she said she was. I would never have done such a thing before, but she seemed so desperate, and I know there's no other way we can get a child. So she went into the washroom and changed back into her normal clothes, and gave me the gown. I walked to her room, and laid in bed. I must have dozed off, because before I knew it, it was hours later. A nurse came in, and handed me Alice, and said we were both doing fine, and that we could go home now, so we left."
Jamie was quiet for a while now, and Landon was curious as to where Alice were, "Where's Alice?" he asked.
