Chapter 1.4- A choice to make

With a baby on the way and me on maternity leave earning a mere pittance in pay, Alex must play a lot of guitar to earn money so we can buy the essentials.

I spend most of my days battling nausea and watching tv to hopefully help my unborn child learn culture, I also sometimes watch the cooking channel for inspiration.

Alex is bringing in some money but not a lot of he goes around looking for people before playing and that way gets more tips,

He is becoming quite a celeb though.

He also received a promotion.

With lots of time on my hands, I have developed my cooking skill even further and have been experimenting with new recipes.

Alex finally made enough in tips that we could afford to pay the bills that have been piling up, whew no repo man to take our belongings

Soon Nine Months had passed and I went into labour, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

Alex is getting better at painting.

Mateo is quite a calm baby if his needs are cared for and he really loves his milk.

I thought I was going mad one morning, when Mateo was about Six months old, when I heard babbling and giggling on the porch, I walked out there and I saw a little girl of about one, next to her was a cuddly toy with a note attached. I started to read it. Hi, this is Jammie, I named her after my dead boyfriend, he was killed when I was pregnant in a fight. I was kicked out of my family home and have been living on the streets ever since. I managed to get into a hospital to have Jammie and then two days later grabbed her and ran but now I see I was being selfish. I saw you and your husband and your little boy two days ago, in the park and I want Jammie to have that. I have signed Jammie over to you and I am heading to my parents, give her the life she deserves please and don’t try to find me. After reading, I folded up the letter and took little Jammie inside, I then called the authorities who tried to find her mother but failed, they asked me if I would like to adopt her or for her to be put in care. I discussed it with Alex and we chose to adopt her. Two days later whilst watching the news, we found out that her mother had drowned.
