Hope (The End)
581 Words
I wake up to a call at 4:30am one morning. Emily is giving birth so dillan and I load up and race to the clinic where dr. Willams is delivering her baby. We run inside as fast as we can. Sadly we were too late and they wouldn't let us into the room with her. She was already pushing when we arrived. We pace back and forth, play phone games, I even bought a bag of sun chips and ate. Then a nurse walks out,
"Would you like to come see mom and baby?" The nurse smiles
We both jump up and head inside the room. Emily is holding the little baby against her chest. The baby is crying and they're shushing and rocking it.
"What is it?" Dillan asks
"She's a baby girl," the nurse informs us.
We walk over and Emily smiles.
"She is much prettier than I expected she would be," Emily says
We giggle a bit.
"Do you want to hold her?" She asks me
I nod and take her in my arms
"Have you named her yet?" I ask
She nods no,
"I thought you two could name her,"
I'm thinking when dillan puts his hand on my shoulder and smiles,
"Hello, hope," he looks at the little girl and she smiles and stops crying as much.
"We are your new parents, hope" I smile.
Dillan puts his hand on my tummy. I'm only 3 months along, but I'm just as excited for that little one as well. Hope is beautiful though. We hand her back to Emily so she can spend just a bit longer with her. She smiles and hugs her, then hands her back,
"You two should take her," she nods "it's time for her to head home," she smiles.
Dillan takes hope and smiles. The doctor says the little one has to stay here to be observed, but other than that we could take her home the next day.
Her room is already ready when we bring her home. I look down at this little girl. She makes little baby noises at me and I smile. Dillan comes up from behind me and grabs my hand a slips a ring on it,
"I think it's time we get married, now that we have two kids," he chuckles.
I nod and turn a bit to kiss him, then I put hope in her crib.
-6 months later-
Hope is beginning to run around more and try to walk and crawl. She is 9 months old now, I have just gotten home from the hospital with my little boy. We named him Vincent. Hope and Vincent are sharing the same nursery. Dillan and I are looking for a bigger home. I know that this is a good life and a good ending. I dont have to keep running anymore. And my little boy, and any other children I have will be pure blooded foxes. All I can see is how things can only get better for us from here. All the people affected by the bad pack have been relocated as well and have found homes. Dillan and I are married. Zach and Alice are expecting their first little one. Walter found a girlfriend. Shes super sweet and likes to hang out with all of us. Wendy left the pack completely, she was so afraid of comming near dillan she decided to disappear. We are doing great and Emily gets to see hope regularly. I'm so happy dillan decided that we should adopt hope. She is amazing and he love her just as much as Vincent.
The end.
