It's now June and I am 2 months along. I have no way of getting in contact with Alex to tell him. Maybe it's better that way. I don't even know his last name. Luckily we graduated from high school without anyone finding out about me.

It's a week before Rae and B leave for college. It's going to be hard without them. The day they leave is hard for all of us. We all start crying like mad. I make sure and so do they to promise we will call and write, and stay in touch. They also tell me that they will for sure be out here in January when the baby is due. Because it's due early January.

Months pass and I get bigger and bigger. I become really good friends with a guy named Dustin who is in my classes. HE helps me out through the pregnancy. He becomes my coach at the lamaze classes.

Then in September he takes me to the doctor. It's a regular check up, only I'm going to find out if it's a boy or girl.

" Hello Mallori" My doctor says. " How are you feeling today?"

" Pretty good"

" Hey there Dustin" She says. She has gotten to know Dustin well.

" Hi" he says as she puts the gel on my stomach. We all three look at the monitor.

" Ok, heart beat is good, everything looks great" she says. " She is doing just great"

" She?" I ask with a huge smile. " I'm going to have a baby girl?"

The doctor nods. " Congratulations!"

That night I tell my parents and all of my family. Then I call B and Rae and tell them. Everyone is just as excited as I am. I would have been just as excited if it was a boy.

Couple more months pass and it's Christmas time. I get all kinds of things for the baby. I also get a baby shower. After all that in January, Dustin, Rae, B, and I all go to see ' Titanic'.

At one point I grab Dustin's arm.

" What's wrong?" He asks.

" My water just broke!" I panic.

" Ok crap! Let's go!" He says as they run me to the hospital. They get me into a room. Four hours later I am fully dilated and ready to push. After another 4 hours I give birth to a 7 lbs. 14 oz. baby girl. After they clean her up they hand her to me. I hold her as I begin to cry. She is beautiful.

" What are you going to name her?" Bekah asks.

" Aurora Elisabeth Leigh" I smile. I named her after B and Rae. Elisabeth is B's middle name and Leigh is Rae's. She was born at 4:11 a.m. on January 9th, 1998.
