Chapter 1 Unexpected Beginning
******************
Amelia Roberto was standing all alone in a restroom which had a dimmed light that kept blinking, the light casting a dark shadow on the white-tiled walls. She was leaning uncomfortably against a basin fixed on the wall.
Amelia clutched her stomach as if in labor with her palm when another wave of pain passed through her.
She had tried to convince herself all day that the pain was due to nervousness and excitement, but by now it was impossible.
Amelia bent forward a little as she tried to catch her breath as the pain escalated. She was obviously in pain as her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes squinted, and her jaws clenched due to the feeling of another contraction.
Moments before, she had been sitting at a table with a man, her fiancé, Jason Richards.
Amelia and Jason were sitting close, holding hands and feeling each other's warmth, amidst the wild fugue of the graduation party.
Beaming with excitement, Amelia listened to Jason, she kept staring at him with a look that resembled a young teenage girl full of love and affection for a man she loved as he was talking about their future.
He had a warm, emotional and loving tone of voice. "Can you believe it, Amelia? We are finally free from school today, the world of freedom is here and now it is time to begin, "he uttered with a combination of excitement, energy, and enthusiasm.
Amelia smiled, she was so much in love with him.
"Yeah". She nodded her head in affirmation. "It seems like all the things we have aimed at have started coming into reality". Amelia said this as she whispered under her breath, thanking her stars for blessing her with such a hardworking, passionate, and loving man.
Jason laced his fingers with hers as he continued to talk about the endless possibilities that awaited them.
But as he went on, a sudden and severe pain surged through her as if she had been cut with a sharp knife.
She had tried to put it out of her mind as best as she could â even mapped a fake grin on her lips, massaging her stomach and bobbing her head in agreement to Jason's words â but the pain could no longer be buried away.
The signs of discomfort on her body and face were visible enough for Jason to notice.
"Are you okay, Amelia? You look like you've lost a bit of colour," he said, his voice going serious.
This made her wipe her face in an attempt to hide the pain that she felt deep inside and then gave a small smile.
I am okay, just require a short break, I shall return shortly. "
'Shall I go with you' Maybe we should leave early if you are not fine. "
'No,' Amelia replied with a gentle but firm voice. Sometimes, a woman just needs some time for herself: 'Just please allow me to be alone for five minutes. ' Right back, I'm coming right back.
Jason gave her hand a last reassuring squeeze before letting her go.
'Okay,' He relented but added, 'but if you don't come back soon, I will come and find you'.
Amelia stood and made her way to one of the restrooms located on the east-side of the party hall. she was still holding onto her abdomen as she proceeded, somehow managing to gather strength that could carry her already weak body to the restroom.
Jason watched as she walked, he was admiring her hourglass physique in the gorgeous lavender gown she wore. Immediately, the thought of the beautiful moment they shared the night before began replaying in his mind.
