My Baby
Chapter One.
July 28, 1994, 11:58 PM
The shrill cry of a newborn baby pierced the air.
The pudgy 17-year-old dozing off in the living room immediately sat up.
"Can I see her now?" he sleepily asked his mother.
"Not yet, dear," she replied excitedly. "Emily needs to rest!"
"Not her, the baby!" he yawned, running a hand through his messy hair.
"Right this way, Mr. Way," a nurse smiled.
The tired boy followed the nurse to a nursery, where a few babies were sleeping peacefully.
"There she is, Mr. Way," the nurse gestured to the baby who had a tuft of dark hair on her head.
He pressed his face against the glass, wide awake now.
"She's so... tiny," he remarked in wonder.
"It's so gross!" his 14-year-old brother complained next to him.
"Shut up, Mikey!" he chided his younger brother.
"What's her name?" he breathed.
"Aveline." his mother answered.
"Aveline," he repeated in a soft whisper, gazing at the tiny child.
