So two days ago i called off work and thought the next couple days was going to be uneventful.. everything slipping my mind and nothing pressing happening except the current recruiter call to go back into the army... I go to sleep late that night around 5am and get awaken the very next day by my mother in a loud voice ... 'Dustin.. Jessica is in Labor you have to get up' So in a instant I am awakened from a good dream sat up and talked to ym mother about what was going on.. Jessica calls again saying the doctors have broken her water. I look to the clock it is 12 on the dot... So we get my sisters baby up and take her to her mother and we all go down to the hospital.. time is 2:15pm now and she is 5cm dialated.. "Shouldn't be much longer" Jessica is in and out of it not really aware of people that much... The people in the room .. My mother , jessica's mother and her cousin ... wtf .. anyway we begin to take a estimate as to when the baby will be born .. everyone thinking 6-7 hours from now.. I get a feeling it will be sooner .. around 4:30-4:45 .. Nurses in and out of the room checking baby.. checking Jessica.. Smoking almost a pack the entire time.. People call her cell phone call the hospital room.. damn people won't quit calling.. My sister in the waiting room with her baby.. my mother trying to be nice to Jessica's family.. i'm bitting my tongue to keep the peace.. the doctor finally comes in.. The Nurse checks her again.. 10cm's .. it is time for the baby.. 3:00pm.. god the time is getting close to what I said.. After alot ill will between me and her now this.. the pushing begins.. the pain gets to her she wants to quit.. everyone trying to encourage her.. first the head.. alien like in nature.. grey round and a head of hairone last push and the baby is fully out.. a baby girl and beautiful.. they sit her on jessica's stomach and I cut the cord.. I think " damn this is wierd as hell" Still slightly in shock @ the life born this day.. a bracelet attached to my wrist .. the to the baby.. and lastly the mother.. they remove the after birth from the baby and wrap her in a warm blanket handing her to me first while the finish on jessica.. she is so small and yet big for a baby.. 8lbs 6 oz .. 21 inches long and 13 1/4 head.. 13 3/4 chest.. A Life assumed to be mine as well and now that I look into my own past something I can't really deny.. I still want the test done.. just to make absolutly sure.. I pray she is so she might have a good father.. though with me going away i'm not sure... I hope I am wise enough to do the right thing.. I hope she has a good life even if she isn't mine.. blessed be this day a life is born into my life something i will never forget...
