The last chapter… I'm sorry for the absence.
When I think back now, at how stupid it all was, I think of how Dad tried to see me, never stopping, begging, pleading to see me. He never got to. But I went to his funeral, I cried even though I hardly knew him, it was two years ago and I'm still not over it. I've hated Mum since she told me, but I've realised that if I carry on hating her I'll end up hating myself. I need to forgive her. If I don't, I'll regret it terribly… Oh! Listen to me! I sound like a twelve-year-old! I'm not twelve, I'm sixty-two. An awful age to be, I don't look it though, even though I do say so myself… After all, I have no one to say it for me. I'm childless, husbandless and friendless. A disgrace. I want to change all that… I want to change it for good… I want a proper life, not a tragic one… So… let's start with a new beginning to end this…

Swirls of light cascade around, black waves burst from underneath and then… it's all different.
"Oh! She's beautiful!" Cried the nurse, "What's her name?"
"Lillian…" Raven smiled, stroking he newborn baby's wisp of hair, "Daddy will be here in a minute, He's coming to see you, yes he is!" She cooed.
Just seconds ago Raven regretted getting pregnant, but seeing her own child, smiling up at her, soon made her change her mind… Then he came, bursting through the theatre doors dramatically, A giant beam spreading across his face. To his horror the mother of his child screwed up her face and yelled.
"What's happening?" He screeched, mopping Raven's sweaty brow.
The nurse couldn't believe it,
"Another one?"
"A… baby… boy!" Raven gasped, doing exactly what the nurse had told her to do; Push. Suddenly the baby was in the nurses arms… silent. Everyone gasped… was the boy dead?
No. Because at that moment the baby a squealed and threw triumphant punch at the nurses chest, Raven laughed while the nurse jumped back, startled.
But, if Raven had stopped laughing and had looked down she would have seen her daughter wink at her before yelling excitedly.
Hurray! I hoped you enjoyed it! VERY VERY short, but I think… enchanting. As you guessed the person who was explaining at the top WAS Lillian but before the new life. Anyway, I'm going to delete my stories except this so I can start a fresh, I will also be changing my Pen Name to " Pocoyo" so, make sure you change any bookmarks.
