Finally In America
Zorom:
One thing - "She watched him walk away and then she went into her house and found Antonio in her bedroom, sleeping on her bed."
Antonio?? Are you sure? O.O
Anyway, I loved that chapter! The baby was really cute! Stick with it ok? This is the part where a lot of authors give up.

After a few more hours of intense pushing, Maria gave birth to tiny Derek Apollo Germanotta, their first Italian/American baby. He weighed only 4 pounds, 3 ounces but Maria thought he was so beautiful anyways. Derek had Maria's eyes and haircolor but Apollo's face shape and smile. Even though he was 3 months premature, he turned out healthy except for a small body and a small head. As the nurse was giving him a quick washdown, Apollo stood behind her and he saw Derek smile up at him.
A little correction - if a baby is born 3 months premature, he or she will be very tiny, and will nearly always need breathing help and other medical care. And if the baby has to come out at 6 months, C-section is nearly always used (as far as I know). Being one month premature is not that dangerous, so if I were you, I'd just change it to that :)

quote from here: In general, babies born after 24 to 25 weeks of gestation are mature enough to survive, although they will need a prolonged period of intensive care. Babies born at less than 23 weeks of gestation are usually not mature enough to survive.
...
Except for older infants over 30-33 weeks, many premature babies need to be on a ventilator to help them breath normally.
...
In general, most infants aren't ready to be discharged until some time around your original due date. So for a baby born at 26 weeks, that can mean three months in the hospital.
Just so you know, for future stories :)
(You don't have to change it, of course - it's just me being a detail freak, as usual...)
Britney:
Nice story :) I will stay tuned ;)

I am sorry to say but I am not going to continue this story for I have no inspiration to do so. I am very sorry to those of you who took the time to read this. I am however working on a new story called, " Ghost " and I hope you'll read it. Again I am very sorry.
