Twisted Events Chapter 1-Summer Of 1992 A Mix Between Strong Medicine And Providence
This story starts out unlike many of the other Strong Medicine or Providence stories you may or may not have seen or heard, you know a dramatic hospital scene or a hearty love scene? No this story is different for two reasons.....The first reason it is different is that it is a mix story. It has Lu, Dana, Lana, Peter, Dr. Jackson, and Nick form Strong Medicine and then it has Syd, Joanie, and Lynda from Providence. The second reason this story is so different form many is that it starts out in the past and then jumps to the current year 2004. We start off when Joanie is only 13 (and in labor) and Syd is 24. Were beginning where Syd has just delivered the new baby and has placed the girl into her birth mothers arms.
"Joanie I know your feeling strongly for this baby right now" Sydney started "But I really feel that you shouldn't grow too attached to her. The more attached to her you get the harder it will be to give her up in the end."
"I just spent 6 hours in labor and you choose now to remind me that I may never get to see my baby girl again as long as she may live.?.?.?.?" Joanie smarted off angrily
"Actually kid that's not true. Do you remember our cousin Louisa Delgado?"
"The smart-mouthed doctor from Philly?"
"Yes that would be the one, well Joanie she's agreed to adopt your baby for you."
Syd gives Joanie and the baby a moment alone while she went and checked on another patient. When she came back she found Joanie gently holding the baby and talking softly to her. The baby's hand was wrapped around Joanie's pinky.
"Hey little baby. I'm your mommy. I know you don't understand this now but maybe when you get older you will understand why I am doing this to you." Joanie told the baby with love "I love you sweetie. I love you very much but I just cant take care of you the way a good mommy should. I can't take care of you because I'm only a kid myself. You know the whole nine months you were inside of me I kept telling myself "she's not mine" "she belongs to Lu" "I cant love her the way I should" "I'm doing the right thing" although I knew that no matter who raised you that you would always be mine. I'm giving you to a new mommy who can take better care of you. She can love you and give you everything that you want and need. She can give you so many things that I can't. good toys, good food, good clothes, love and affection, attention. The whole nine months you were inside me I hated you. I hated you because I was afraid that if I started to love you then it would hurt to much to let go of you and I would wind up not making the right choice. But when you were born and I saw you I knew that I was making the right choice by giving you up. I knew that I could never love you and give you what you needed, and that this perfect miracle in my arms needed to be with someone who could give her a better life. I'm doing this because I love you, and I want you to have the best."
Syd walks into the room holding a baby pink folder and a black get pen.
"Honey I need you to sign these papers. They are simply saying that you give up your parental rights to this baby and that Lu will be her mother ." Syd explains to her little sister.
24 Hours Later
Dr. Louisa Delgado walks into the room where Sydney and Joanie, and the new baby she is about to adopt is waiting for her to get to.
"Hey Syd, Joanie how are you feeling" Lu says cheerfully
The young mother makes no response. She is too busy reassuring the new born child that she would be ok and that not to worry because her new mommy and new brother would take real good care of her. Despite her gentle tone with the baby Joanie's temper was rising. She wanted to hurry and do this ASAP so it would be easier for both her and the baby laying in her arms.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"Look I'm sorry Lu but I have to go ER needs me but I promise I will be back ASAP" Syd says in a rush as she grabs her bag
"Its fine Syd I know the feeling it happens to me in the middle of conversations all the time when I'm at the clinic." Lu responds as she settles into the hard chair.
Sydney leaves in a hurry and Lu settles down to talk to the mother of her new baby girl. Lu starts to talk to Joanie in a gentle tone not wanting to frighten the sleeping baby.
"Joanie you know that you can come see the baby anytime you want to right?" Lu asks Joanie
Joanie responds in a sarcastic tone
"Yeah like Syd's really going to go for that"
"Whatever Joanie I am doing you a favor! Raising a baby's not exactly a walk in the park! It takes take's money, a job, shelter, you have to give the baby food, love, attention, you have to keep her clean, But most important you have to love her! If you don't do all these things then she will be taken by the state and will be "Just another baby the state has to raise." Believe me Joanie your baby is much better off with me then in the system! Do you know how hard it is to get your baby out of the system?"
Joanie's temp is now at full rage. Lu tries to keep her cool with the angry 13 year old and get up in her face and go off at her its hard but she manages.
"YOU DON'T OWE ME ANY FAVORES BITCH! I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO ADOPT THIS KID!" Joanie yells in Lu's face "No you didn't Joanie but I was asked and she is going to be my baby and I want her to know whom her real mommy is" Lu says coolly
"SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU SHE DOSENT EVEN LOOK LIKE ME! SHE HAS YOUR DARK HAIR , DARK EYES,MEDIUM SHADED SKIN, YOU WONT HAVE A PROBLAM IF YOU JUST DON'T TELL HER ABOUT ME!"
"One day I am going to have to tell her! One day this little angel will wonder who her mommy is and who her daddy is. What do I tell her then?"
"YOU'RE HER MOMMY STUPID! I DON'T KNOW WHO HER DADDY IS ! JUST TAKE HER AND LEAVE! SHE DOSENT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME! WHAT THE 'CHEEP FLOOSY'? THE 'GIRL WHO GOT KNOCKED UP BEFORE SHE EVEN FINISHED MIDDLE SCHOOL' THE 'SLUT' THE 'WHORE' THE 'TWO DOLLOR PROSTITUTE' SHE DOSENT NEED TO KNOW OF ME IM HORRIBLE JUST TAKE HER AND FORGET ALL ABOUT ME! RAISE HER TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE HER MOMMY AND SHE HAS NO OTHER! SHE'S YOURS JUST TAKE HER AND LOVE HER LIKE SHE WAS YOUR OWN......DON'T TELL HER THE TRUTH! DON'T EVER TELL HER THE TRUTH! "
Lu hands Joanie a card with her work number cell number address and home number so that she could write and or come visit if she wanted to see the baby. Syd comes back into the room just as Joanie is handing the baby over to Lu, and Lu sees the baby and studies her little face for the first time.
"Joanie she does look just like me" Lu gasps surprised
"I told you so!" Joanie responds rudely
"I need you to sign these papers Lu" Syd states as she hands Lu a clipboard and a pen "(handing Lu page 1) this is the final adoption paper. It is saying that you are taking full responsibility and custody of this child and Joanie has no prenatal rights to this child after you sign these papers. (Syd hands Lu page 2) this is your baby's medical papers and shot records. ( hands Lu page 3) This is you baby's birth certificate, I need you to sign it and then I need you to give this baby a name"
"Do you want to help me pick out a name for the baby Joanie?" Lu asked hopefully
"NO! I TOLD YOU SHE'S NOT MINE! I DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE ANY CONNECTIONS TO ME!" Joanie screams at the top of her lungs to Lu
Lu had a shocked look on her face
"I've had just about enough of your attitude young lady"
Lu holds the small baby close feeling that the baby shouldn't be exposed to such anger and hate. She stares into the baby's huge brown eyes and gently touches her feather soft hair. Lu talks to the baby in a loving motherly tone before she decides to name her Mary Jane Delgado aka MJ
"What did you decide to name her?" Syd asks curiously
"Mary Jane Delgado"
"Beautiful Name"
"I thought so"
Lu and Syd strap the baby into her new car seat and then carry her out to Lu's car. After making sure that the baby was secure Lu drove off to Philly where she knew that friends and family would be awaiting the arrival of the new baby girl .
