3:45 a.m.
Jane had three options.
She could poison him, Then she would be free of him, But she doesn't. She knows she will be convicted, then she would never lay eyes on her child.
She could run. What's the use? He would find her….He always finds her. This was not the first time jane takes this into consideration. Jane ran once before. The day she found out about the baby. She was headed back to her parents place, Johnathan had friends in high places….
Jane only had one option left. To stay.
Jane lays awake, She listens to the thick snores that fill the room. Jane has been planning a way out for over a month now. Since they left the offices that day... She knows how he works. The way he thinks, how his hands glide across her flesh. The way he takes his coffee and his hours at work. Still she stays for the baby's sake. She knows there is no way out. Still, she holds on to the thought that some one, anyone would rescue her from the night mare she lives in.
Jane glances at the clock by the night stand.
5:28 am.
Jane sighed deeply. She knows if he doesn't have his coffee when he wakes up, She can expect another beating, another burse to hide, another scar to make a silly excuse for when the girls at the supermarket ask how she is and what happened this time. Jane had become very skilled with covering up the marks, But the questions remain in growing numbers. Some things are too obvious to hide. How much longer can jane hide behind her mask of disguises?
Jane inches the cool covers off her body. She slowly sits. Jane rubs her lower back. The aching seems to be chronic. Jane knows it's probably from the plates he threw at her the night before.
Jane sits on the edge of the bed. She lets out a deep breath she's been holding. The bed doesn't creak today. Maybe he won't hit her.
Jane stands and proceeds to start her usual morning routine. She showers and dries her hair, Puts something nice on, Johnathan doesn't like it when jane wares anything informal attire, making sure she covers every inch of her body. She looks in the cracked bathroom mirror. She stares into her green eyes. She searching, Searching for the young girl she used to know. Jane looks ever bit of 30 and feels it. Sighing she leaves the bathroom. Jane picks up the laundry off the floor, putting it in the washer she begins to iron his work outfits.
By 6:30 jane is in the kitchen. Coffee is steaming in it's pot, eggs and bacon frying in the pan. Jane fanning herself from the heat expanding through the tiny cramped kitchen.
She hears footsteps descending from the stairs. He's awake. He's coming.
Jonathan softly runs his hands along her neck, easing then down to her shoulders. Jane tenses. Johnathan kisses her cheek. Jane smiles innocently. So good so far. He hadn't hit her yet.
"Good morning Jane."
"Morning dear. What would you like for breakfast?"
Her voice cracks.
Johnathan takes his coffee and the paper in hand. He looks up over the cup at her. Jane knew what that look ment. 'What do you think you stupid bitch?' Jane took a plate from the cabinet and began preparing his plate. Jane wiped her hands on her apron and placed the plate down on the table.
"There you go darling. Are you going into work today?"
Jane glanced at him. She inched down into her chair and propped her hands under her chin.
"Yes, unfortunately. You know how much I hate being away from you."
Johnathan cupped her cheek softly. Jane trembled under his warm hand. He leans in to kiss her and notices her engagement ring is not on her finger.
"Jane. Where is your ring?"
Jane flinched, she looked at her bare fingers. 'shit!'
"Johnathan Im pregnant…. My... My fingers are swollen. Im sorry."
"I understand."
Johnathan turned back to his paper and coffee.
Jane took a deep breath and exhaled. She relaxed back into her chair and rested her hands over her stomach, feeling a foot or perhaps and arm stretching with in her. Jane smiled thinking of their child. She could just picture their baby. Jonathan noticed her remarkable attachment to the baby. His fists clinch. Jane was his, all his! No baby would stand in the way of that! He couldn't wait for the child to be out of their lives.
"Don't get too attached Jane. Their taking it immediately after delivery."
Jane's eyes narrowed towards him. She doesn't respond. The only thing that kept her sane was knowing it would have a better life away from Johnathan. Her child wouldn't have to suffer like she had the past year.
Jonathan slammed his cup down on the table, splashing hot coffee all over the table.
"Clean this mess up! I won't have my house filthy like we are common animals!"
Jonathans tone is crisp and low, He rares back, the impact knocks jane out of the chair. Falling her she cries out. Jane doesn't move at first in hopes he won't strike her again.
Jane struggles to her feet to clear the table. Jonathan walks into the living room to get his brief case.
Jane carries the cups to the sink. She feels a sharp pain in her lower abdomen., Jane drops the plate she was currently holding and reaches out. She clutches her hands to the dinning table. Feeling a warm pool of water stream down her legs.
"I gotta get to work jane. This places better be clean by the time I….Why aren't you cleaning?"
"Jonathan….My water broke."
- - - - - - - - - - 6 hours later. - - - - - - - - - -
Jane opened her eyes. She seemed to have been sedated before waking. She searched the room for john. There was not one. The machine's beeped next to her. Her groggy eyes couldn't make out where she was only that she was alone. Her vision blurred due to a drip the doctor was given her. She reached down to feel her stomach. Yes. The baby was still there.
"Oh good. Your awake ms. Archer. The doctor says you'll be ready to push in a few hours. How are you feeling?"
A nurse entered the room to replace the liquids and remove the pain drip.
"Doctor? Push? Im in the hospital? How did I get here? I don't feel….I feel…disoriented."
The nurse nodded.
"Yes, Most do feel that way after the medication gets well into there systems. Your husband dropped you off a few hours ago. We gave you something to help with the pain. It's good you slept. You needed your rest."
Jane nodded slowly, sitting up slightly she rubbed her aching temples. She realized she was going to be doing this alone. She felt a since of relief knowing he would be there. She felt safe.
- - - - - - - - - - 2 hours later - - - - - - - - - -
"Hee -- hoo. Hee-- hoo damn it!" Jane grimaced holding onto the rails of the hospital bed. She had never been in so much pain. She was in and out of it. Tears blurred her vision. She wished some one could have been there to support her. The nurse began giving jane instructions, Jane was in far too much pain to respond.
"Ms. Archer. I need you to listen to the instructions of the nurse and push down into your bottom."
"I am you fucker!"
The doctor nodded. He took no offence to her remarks through the delivery. He had heard plenty in his day.
It all seemed to be happening so fast now, She felt an immense amount of pressure in her lower abdomen.
"Ms. Archer I need a big push from you. Your baby is almost here."
"I…I can't. I can't do this. Im so tried.."
Jane had broken into a sob as she rested her aching body against the pillows. Jane pulled her self up, gripping the nurses arms and gave it her all. She really felt as though she didn't have the strength to go on…
Then she heard the crying.
"It's a girl."
Jane leaned up at the tears spilled over her eyes.
"I…Is she okay? Is she healthy? Is she normal?"
"Yes, a healthy girl . Ms. Archer you should lay back and rest now."
"No! No.. I want to see her. Please. Let me hold my daughter."
Jane fought against the nurses to get a glimpse of the tiny bundle across the room.
The nurse walked towards her. Handling the baby with care she placed the baby in Jane's arms..
Jane smiled down at her, Looking over her facial features before counting her fingers and toes.
"Hello. Mommy has been waiting so long to meet you."
Jane cooed.
Lillian arrived to handle the baby. It was her job to deliver it to it's new parents. Lillian's heart sank at the sight of jane and her child. It was going to be a hard day. Lillian took a small photo of them both. She knew it would ease Jane's heart when she had to remove the infant. Jane never looked up to see her. Lillian spoke with the doctor and left.
"You have one hour ms. Archer."
- - - - - - - - - - 30 minutes later - - - - - - - - - -
Jane sat in the bed rocking the infant gently . Her she peered down though her glasses as she filled out her daughters birth certificate.
"You look so much like daddy. You have his hair."
Jane places gentle kisses on her baby soft scalp.
The baby began to whimper and wriggle sleepily in her blanket.
"Uh oh. I think some one's hungry. "
Jane loosened the tie on her gown revealing her self to nurse her daughter. If they were going to take her daughter from her Jane was going to do all she could for her in the short time they were allowed together.
Jonathan stood in the door way of the room watching them for some time. He cleared his throat to make notice he was there.
Jane's heart skipped a beat. No. The hour couldn't be up already! Jane relaxes seeing it was only johnathan.
"I named her Amelia. I need you to sign her birth certificate before they…. You're her father."
Jonathan narrowed his eyes.
"Don't you dare call me that things father!"
He tone was calm as he approached the bed. He looked over at the bed. He gazed down at the infant.
"John please. You can deny this all you want but she's your daughter. She's our daughter!"
Jane pleaded with all her heart. She couldn't believe john was saying the things. She just wanted him to care for their daughter.
"Shut up jane! Just shut up! Your mine! You got that! Some baby is not going to get in the way of our time together, our life jane!"
Jane tilted her head, pursing her lips to the slightest degree. It all became clear to her why he had wanted nothing to do with her child. This man was obsessed with her. He was so sick psychopath!
"Get out!"
Jane let the tears fall freely while she cuddled Amelia in her arms. Johnathan came charging towards her. Jane panicked. She pressed Amelia close to her chest, shielding Amelia's fragile body with her own.
"Ms. Archer it's ti… Sir I highly suggest you back away from ms. Archer and the baby."
The doctor exclaimed. Johnathan took a step back and lowered his hand. He came forward to Jane's bed side to make sure she and the bay were not harmed. Two male nurses took him by the arms to escort him out.
"Hey! Release me! That's my jane! That's my baby! It's not what you think! I would never hurt them. Janey tell them baby!"
"Please. Get him out of here. I don't know that man."
Johnathan fought against the guards as they pulled him down the hall way. Lillian entered the room.
"Ms. Archer. Im so sorry. I have to take her now."
Jane looked down at her sleeping daughter. Amazingly she slept through her fathers ranting.
She stroked her daughters cheek affectionately.
"Please don't take her from me. I love my daughter. I want her mother than anything in the world."
Jane whispered . She sat rubbing Amelia's tiny back.
"Im sorry Ms. Archer. I have tried everything. I received your call a few days ago. There's nothing I can do, so is already going to a good family. The Hall family. I promise you that you won't regret them having her. You still have rights to your daughter. You never signed them over on the forms. You'll always be her mother no matter where she is jane."
Jane remained silent. She cuddled Amelia closer too her.
"There not her parents. Not her mother. Im her mother! I know what's best for her. She should be with me.
God I..Im sorry I just love her so much. Do you have children? Do you know how hard this is? Loving some one so much and have then taken away the moment you meet them?"
"I….I.. No. My husband and I can't have children but we want them. I understand this is difficult."
She touched Jane's shoulder, Taking the Polaroid out of her picket she held it out to her.
"I took this for you when Amelia was born. I think you could use this now."
Jane nodded and took it. She looked at the photo. She smiled slightly, stroking Amelia's little face.
"Can I have this?"
"It's yours to keep. Im sorry Im running late jane. I have to take her now."
Jane looked down at Amelia. She kissed her little hands and her head, taking in her scent. Tears splashed on to the pink and white hospital blanket.
"Mommy will find you Amelia. I promise we will be together again…some day."
Jane looked away when Lillian took her. She couldn't bare it. She wouldn't part with her blanket.
"Jane. Im sorry. Im so sorry."
Jane said nothing. Her face was cold and distant. Far away in her own thoughts while looking at the small Polaroid. Jane was nonresponcive. Jane closed her eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks while sobs escaped her lips and filled the room. Jane laid down onto her side clutching the Polaroid and then Blanket to her heart.
The room door creaked open. A small light shown into the hall way. The sound of strings pulling woke jane from her restless slumber. Light filled the room for the first time in over 24 hours causing jane to shield her eyes.
"Ms. Archer there is some one here to see you."
Jane drew in a sharp breath, squinting her eyes she peered through her now parted fingers.
"Mamma?"
'As long as there is life. There is hope.'
