Sorry about how long it's taken me to update but I've had a lot on
Part 18
At work the next morning everywhere I go Ray's eyes follow me, every time I turn around he's looking at me. How do I know he's not planning anything? He could so easily turn out to be just like Ollie. I'm so happy when my shift ends. I don't go straight back to Abby's I take a detour through the park. It's practically deserted. I hear a scream, automatically I run in the direction it came from. It takes only a few minutes for me to get to where it came from. Huddled in an abandoned shed, I found a teenage girl. She turned and saw me, grimacing. Slowly she turns her body, revealing a baby bump that looks so unnatural on her young body. Her dark eyes are wide with fear.
"Its ok, I'm a doctor" I speak softly to her "can you tell me your name?" she looks at me for a few seconds longer,
"I'm Tasha. Please get this thing out of me. I just want it to go away" she begins to sob, I can't tell whether it's because of the pain or because she doesn't want this to happen to her. I kneel down beside her
"I'm Neela. So how old are you? How far gone are you? And how long have you been in labour" she grimaces again and grabs her stomach, when it passes she sits up
"I'm 15. Very nearly nine months. And hours" the pain takes hold of her again, this time she grabs me hand, squeezing it hard. The contraction lasts longer this time.
"Tasha, I'm going to have to examine you" gently I remove her soaked trousers and her underwear. She grimaces slightly as I do so. I can't help myself but gasp when I do so. I can see the baby's head.
"Ok Tasha, you're going to have to push on the next one ok" it comes quickly and she does as I asked. Slowly the head emerges. The next contraction comes almost the second the last one ends. This time the baby slips in to the world. It's crying fills the air. Tasha sighs with relief. I cut the baby's cord and then show her to her mum.
"Congratulations Tasha you have a daughter" I put the baby in Tasha's arms. She gently touches her daughter's cheek.
"I love you so much baby, but you shouldn't be here" Tasha looks up at me "her father, is someone I don't want to remember, so I can't her" a tear slips down her cheek "he did something to me that I don't want to remember" the gently put my arms around her, her tears fall on to the baby's forehead. The baby cries along with her mother.
"What's his name Tasha?" she looks at me
"Ollie. he's older than me but when I met him, he was so sweet but then he changed" she begins to sob in to my jacket.
