One final push and the baby was finally born. Her yells filled the room and she was quickly washed and placed at her mother's breast, where she suckled hungrily. It had been a long labour, but the midwife did not leave. The mother was still bleeding, and the midwife was afraid...

The Next Day

"I'm very sorry." The midwife said, handing the infant to the woman. "We did all we could."

She looked down at the child. "What will you call her?"

Mrs Grayson smiled through her tears. There was only one name she could contemplate giving the child. "Kathleen."

Poor Kathie. It's so sad that she never knew her mother or her father.
