Chapter 3

She stayed true to her word and spent the next months doting on her daughter as the child grew inside of her

Hannah was growing as fast as her tummy it seemed, she seemed to share so many of the same interests as her mother had, and the same talent.  She often wondered what the new addition to the family would bring, would he or she be artistic, or would he be the complete opposite of them.  

She received another promotion at work and with the money she was finally able to finish their house. It wasn't much, but at least it kept them sheltered and warm and they had some privacy at last.

Nothing in her life was easy, every penny counted, as Hannah grew and the birth of her sister or brother grew closer they both needed more clothing, it seemed every time she got a head a bit financially there was something waiting to spend the money on.  She had learned to use thrift stores and consignment shops for their clothes and other things, but sometimes she really wished she could just go buy her daughter new clothes, clothes that no one else had ever worn.

Babies really can have the worst timing.  As she tried to fix the sink, the always breaking, always costing them more money sink, her own water broke and she felt the first contraction.

One hour later Bailey, Hannah's new sister was born.  She looked down at her new daughter, and felt so lonely.  No one should do this alone she thought, no one should do any of this alone!  She promised her new daughter then, that she would make sure neither her nor Hannah would feel this way, she would make sure they both found husbands.
