My life was going great. I was eighteen, a successful song writer, single, and three weeks overdue. When I told my parents about the baby they decided they didn't have a daughter. Harleigh and Hermione stuck by me though. Today was Sunday and I was making breakfast when the contractions started.
"Harleigh!" I screamed as I collapsed in a chair.
"What's wrong?"
"It's time."
"Are you sure?"
"Do I look like I am?"
"Yeah let's go."
Hermione and the twins met us at the hospital, but I didn't want Fred and George anywhere near my baby. They would only let one person in the delivery room with me, so naturally it was my brother. After seven hours of labor the baby was finally ready to be born, and I was in so much pain I wanted to die, well almost. The delivery itself only took about half an hour but when it was time for the final push I kinda snapped Harleigh's wrist in the process.
"It's a girl!" the doctor announced, then left to put a cast on Harleigh's arm.
"She's so beautiful." Hermione said when they finally let her in. "What's her name?"
"Paige Alexa Wood."
"Hayleigh you have to tell him. She's his daughter too."
"I don't have to tell him anything, and neither will anyone else."
"Are you sure you want to do this alone?"
"Yes. Wanna hold your niece?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
Soon visiting hours were over and Paige and I were left alone, and I got to think. Of course I wanted Oliver in his daughter's life, but I didn't want him to feel he had to be with us. I still loved him, but my pride always got the best of me. It was getting late so I decided I'd try singing Paige to sleep.
You're gonna fly
With every dream you chase
You're gonna cry
But know that that's okay
Sometime's life's not fair
But if you hang in there
You're gonna see
That sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe
Things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees
But always Loved by me
You're gonna be
