Chapter Seven

Star

Amanda planned to give birth at a church. No doctors would belive her story. Any respectable doctors wouldn't help a young, single mother. But the Nuns wouldn't send her away. Of course, things didn't go as planned.

All night, Amanda had been getting sharp pains from her stomach. She didn't want to wake the boys up. It was probably nothing, anyways. She had those pains before. It turned out to be nothing. But in the morning, Amanda found a wet spot on her bed. This time, she was in labor.

"Race! Race!" Amanda exclaimed , as she shock Race awake.

"What Diamond?" he asked, half asleep.

"I'm in labor!"

"We's all labor in the streets to live, Diamond."

"No! I'm gonna have the baby!"

Race some up. He ran around, yelling at the other boys. Once they were all awake, Jack started to give out orders.

"A few of us needa get Diamond to da church!" Jack yelled.

"Jack! I don't think the baby's gonna wait that long!" Amanda exclaimed.

It turned out that Jack had told Crutchie that he had seen his little sister be born. So Crutchie volunteered Jack to deliver the baby. Jack wasn't very happy at the thought of delivering a baby. The newsies who had weak stomachs were ordered to do the pape selling that day. The rest of the boys stayed to help. Somehow, little Romeo was still in the room. Crunchie prepared some sheets and warm water. Race held Amanda just above her swollen belly. Amanda didn't let go of his hand.

"Wow! I can see the head!" Romeo exclaimed.

JoJo covered Romeo's eyes with his hand.

Amanda gasped, groaned, screamed and pushed with all her might.

"One more outta do it!" Jack shouted.

Soon a cry was heard.

After Race cut the cord, Jack wrapped the babe up in the sheets. Amanda was layed on a bunk.

"It's a girl," whispered Jack, as he handed Amanda her child.

"She's beautiful." Amanda sighed.

"What are ya gonna name her, Diamond?" Romeo wondered. His eyes were no longer being covered by JoJo.

"Stella Josephine," said Amanda, "Her name is Stella Josephine."

To Amanda she was Stella, to the newsies she was Star.

The one and only Star.
