“ Alright why don’t we advance to the Exam room.” He stood up and continued there while we followed, I noticed that Andre didn’t say a word while the doctor was asking questions, he just sat there and observed.“ just lie down like you did last time.” He instructed while he arranged the sonogram instrument, Andre gives me support as I position myself on the exam table.“ good, let’s begin.” He did the same process of  applying some jelly on my lower belly and used the tool to gently rub against my skin.“ hmmm! Your baby’s growth is normal, it’s breathing just fine.”

 “ She is the girl who Andre was supposed to be married to.“ What happened to her?”“ She died. He paused and sigh. She went through so much all because she wanted to change Andre and make him a better person, five years ago Andre was a drug addict and had just returned from Rehab but the fact that he was his parents only child they wanted him to get married and give them a grand child, someone who could carry on their legacy and that’s why they arranged a marriage With Norah. Things were going well until Andre started taking drugs again, he would beat up Norah and after a while he would return to ask for her forgiveness. This continued happening until Norah couldn’t take it so she went over to his place to break up with him and coincidentally I happen to be there but I had gone to use the bathroom.

 Hours later, I arrived New York City. Stepping down from the plane as my feet touched the ground, it hit me instantly that I have nothing, no luggage, no destination, no money. The only thing in my hand is the cell phone given to me by Greg's driver. "The phone!" I said out loud . Quickly I proceeded outside the airport, there as I stood at the Exit way , I switch on the cell phone and browse through the contact list. Greg's number is the only contact in it as I click dial on the number while placing the phone on my left ear, the number isn't going, I hung up and dialed again but it yields the same result. I continue dialing over and over and over again but to no avail, his number is switched off. I felt frightened at this point, I am right here, at the biggest city in the world and I'm lost, I have no nowhere to go or whom to go to. " I shouldn't have come here, I have once again made a big blunder. I should have gone back home to new Mexico, to my mother." I weep sil

We got outside the store but she continues walking towards the taxi stand so I follows her, I'm clueless about how all of a sudden I feel safe with her , like I have faith that she wouldn't do anything bad to me." Hey! erm... I will taking a cab from here, by the way you can keep the money for the meal, so you are free to go!" She says sweetly." Erm... Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help and what you did back there." " It's pleasure.... Take care." She stops a taxi and jumps in " 5th Avenue!" I hear her say to the driver before shutting the door.The car leaves, as stood there and watched. Suddenly it occurs to me" why didn't I ask her for help? At least she would have directed me to a decent hotel or motel I can spend the night in!.....Urgh! You can be stupid sometimes Hailey!"_mumbling to myself, while I stood there at the side of the road with no idea what to do next. Right now, I wish I have a smart phone at least I can find my way around this giganti

  " phew! It's been such a stressful day! I surge into bed and drown myself in the softness of it. I wonder how Greg is doing?" A cinch of melancholy gusts through my body.My eyes become heavy while I stared at the awning, slowly but steady my eyelids could no longer hold the inevitable call of nature, as I dozed off, eventually.The next day, I wake up in the morning to the loud noise coming from outside of my window and I jump out of bed as I proceed into the bathroom to ease myself and wash my face, while doing that I took a little time looking at the mirror and resumes my thinking from where I stopped last night, glancing at the mirror, gazing into the eyes of my reflection in the mirror. My thoughts go feral, as I couldn't get myself to focus, still hunted by my tragic past. I remember when I first moved to Phoenix, I had a dream, I had a goal, that made me wake up every single morning and face my day with a bright smile on my face. Where is that girl who wanted
