═══════❀•°❀°•❀═══════ Audrianna's POV
Guess what? A few months after Christmas, the literal DAY that I turned eighteen, I gave birth to my bitchin' baby.
I could never bring myself to be upset though, it was a girl and Henry and I decided to name her Raegan Kelzie Maria Manchester-Hart. Long name, I know, but she was the most precious tiny person in this hellscape.
...
HOW THE FUCK DO I RAISE THIS THING.
I cannot believe I am expected to take care of this child until I'm thirty-six. That doesn't really sound as bad now that I say it, but I have no idea how to take care of children.
Sure, I knew how to change a diaper, make a bottle of milk, and how to feed a baby but after that what am I supposed to do with the thing??
I was so confident that I'd know what to do, but now that I'm actually a mom, all my knowledge suddenly flies out the window.
The very fact that this carbon copy of me could have the potential to live the life I lived scares me shitless.
I snapped out of my thoughts, hearing the soft giggling of my mini arsonist.
"What are you laughing at, I just pushed your fat head out of me."
As the little girl continued smiling widely, I felt a smile tug on the corners of my mouth.
I reached down to wipe a small amount of spit around her lips but she got ahold of one of my fingers with her tiny hands.
My smile widened as she tightly gripped on my pinky before I sighed deeply "This is gonna sound so cheesy.. and you know your mother hates cheesy things. But it's okay, because you're a stupid– little– child."
"Seriously though, I'm sorry if I mess this up, kid," I whispered, my voice trembling slightly. "I'm really lost. But I'm trying my hardest to give you the life that I never got to live."
I paused, brushing a strand of hair from her tiny face. "One day, it's going to feel like just a second has passed, and suddenly, you'll be all grown up. You'll fall in love, have kids of your own, and you won't need us the way you do now.."
Leaning down, I pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead "But I swear to you, your mommy and daddy are going to be here the whole time. We love you so much, and I will never leave you."
My voice faltered for a moment as I thought about Henry "I can't promise the same about your father. And I don't know what the future holds for you, my love, but if he decides to be absent from your life, I will personally rip out every strand of his precious hair," I added with a quiet chuckle
My heart ached as I continued "Growing up with only one parent is horrible. It's not fair. And I wish that you would never have to experience that because you deserve so much more than I ever had."
I stroked her tiny hand, feeling the warmth of her body next to mine "Do me a favour, never grow up.." I paused, stopping myself before I get too sappy with this being "—stupid child.."
I groaned quietly before pressing another soft kiss on her forehead "I love you, my star."
