~HOSPITAL~

The hallway was too long.

Claire ran down it, barefoot, clutching her handbag to her chest like it held her heart.

Her son, Marcus, kept up beside her, taller than her now, but still just a kid.

Claire Blue (FL & Marcus's mom)

Where's my daughter?!

Claire kept saying.

Claire Blue (FL & Marcus's mom)

Where is she?!

Marcus Blue (FL's brother)

Mom, calm down.

Marcus said, trying to catch her arm, but she pulled away.

A scream echoed from down the corridor.

Then came the cry of a newborn baby.

Claire stopped in her tracks. Her eyes widened.

Claire Blue (FL & Marcus's mom)

That's my baby girl.

She whispered, and without another word, she ran toward the sound.

They pushed through the double doors of the labor and delivery room. Claire's eyes swept across the room and landed on her daughter, lying in a hospital bed, holding a tiny bundle in her arms.

Avery Blue (FL)

Oh, Mom...

Her daughter Avery said, tears in her eyes, a tired smile on her face.

Avery Blue (FL)

It's a boy.

Claire's hand flew to her mouth. Then she walked over, leaned down, and kissed her daughter's forehead.

She turned her eyes to the baby. His skin was red and wrinkled, his little fists waving in the air. But his eyes, deep and dark stared up, calm and blinking.

Clair smiled, soft and sad.

Claire Blue (FL & Marcus's mom)

He has his father's eyes.

Avery nodded.

Marcus stepped closer, still breathing a little hard from the run.

Marcus Blue (FL's brother)

Great job, sis.

He said.

Avery Blue (FL)

Thank you.

She whispered.

Claire sat on the edge of the bed. her hand rested on her daughter's arm.

Claire Blue (FL & Marcus's mom)

So what are you going to do?

She asked gently.

Claire Blue (FL & Marcus's mom)

You don't know anything about his father.

Avery's smile faded. she looked down at her baby, rocked him slightly.

Avery Blue (FL)

I don't know.

She said quietly.

~A LITTLE WHILE LATER~

In the hospital's registration room, a nurse handed her a clipboard.

Nurse

You can fill out the birth certificate here.

She said kindly.

Avery wrote her baby's name slowly. Her handwriting shook just a little.

when she reached the line that said Father's Name, she paused.

Then she left it blank.
