Chapter Nine: Independence Day- Martina McBride
Kate's Point of View
I wake up and glance at the clock; twelve oh one. I walk to the bathroom.
When I walk back to the bed, it about twelve oh three, I've been having such a hard time sleeping. I'm nine months pregnant, and the baby has been kicking like crazy.
I'm about haft way back when I have to stop. I hurry to Rick's side of the bed.
"Rick, wake up." I gently shake him.
"Kate? What's wrong?"
"My water just broke."
"Are you sure?" If he wasn't haft asleep I'd smack him.
"Yes, I'm sure."
If I'd known I'd have the baby today, I wouldn't have came to the Hamptons, I would've asked to stay home.
We get to the hospital, and nine hours later; the baby is born. A girl, a daughter I've always secretly wanted.
"A baby born on Independence Day." Rick exclaims.
"Yeah, a girl."
"What should we name her?"
"I don't know. What do you think we should name her?"
"I have no clue."
"Well, do you want her to have the same initials as Alexis?"
He shruggs.
"What is Alexis's full name?"
"Alexis Maire Castle."
I nod.
"You pick the name."
"Why?"
"Because I'm terrible at picking names."
"Okay...um...how about...we ask Alexis to help?"
"Sounds good."
"They finally let me in to see you." Alexis came in, a bright smile beaming across her face.
"Are you happy to be a big sister?" I ask.
"Yes, I can't wait to see my new baby sister!" Alexis exclaimed.
"We actually need your help picking a name." Rick says.
"Really? I can help?" Rick nods, "Awesome, I need to think about it for a moment...When can I see her?"
"I'll ask the nurse when she comes back in." I say.
"Okay, I won't be able to think of names untill I see her." Alexis says, pouting.
The nurse comes in.
"How are you doing?" She asks me.
"Fine, thank you, my step-daughter would like to see the baby."
"Oh, alright, I'll bring her in right away." She says, and hurries out of the room.
"Yay, I get to see my baby sister." Alexis quietly cheers, I look at Rick, we both smile at each other. He comes and wraps his arms around me, and kisses me on the top of my head.
"I love you." Rick whispers, giving me goosebumps; everytime he has ever whispered anything to me I've always gotten goosebumps.
"I love you, too." I whisper back, then the nurse comes back in with our baby girl.
"Ahh..." Alexis says, "She's so cute and tiny."
"Have you thought of a name, yet?" the nurse asks.
"Alexis, got any suggestions?" I ask.
"How about...Talia?."
"I like it," I say, "Rick, what do you think?"
"I think...it fits."
"Her name is Talia." I say happily.
"I'll go get the forms so you can fill out her name." The nurse says, and rushes out of the room.
"Hi Talia." Alexis coes at the baby, "She has such beautiful eyes."
"Yeah, she's a beautiful baby." Rick says.
