"One, two, three! Give me one more big push mama!"

Cries could be heard throughout the hospital and after seventeen hours of being in labor that's all Mandy wanted to hear. As her husband Cameron cut the umbilical cord, she couldn't help but to be memorize.

"I really just pushed a baby out of my vagina." She thought to herself, chuckling.

"Nine pounds and eleven ounces, congratulations on your beauty." The Obstetrician, Mariah, complimented as she placed the baby in the arms of her mother.

"Thank you." She replied.

The skin to skin contact was the icing on the cake, the love for her daughter had flourished a million times than before. Forcing her eyes away from the new addition to the family of 3, she looked up at her husband, who's eyes were currently watering at the sight of his newborn.

Smiling, Cameron placed a soft kiss to Mandy's lips. "We did it." He whispered against her lips, smiling.

"Kaomei Geneviêve Eliphaz, welcome to the world precious." Mandy cooed.

Rolling the new born baby Kaomei towards Room 201, where she would be checking her vitals, heart rate, temperature, feet size, & making sure she didn't have any signs of disabilities—Mariah was dreading what was next to come.

Finishing her tasks quickly, she began rolling Kaomei out the room however she was stopped by Mr.Reign.

"How did he even get up here?"'She thought to herself.

"Don't try to be the hero now Mariah, give us our baby and go give them theirs." He spat.

"This is their baby, I watched her go threw 17 hours of labor, no epidural, no pain medicine. So for you to take her hard work away from her all because of your faults doesn't make an ounce of sense to me." Mariah snapped.

"It didn't need to make sense when we were putting that money in your bank accounts."

"Please. Don't take someone else blessings away from them." She pleaded.

"I'm not, you are. So simply do what you were paid to do. And hurry up before Mrs.Reign gets impatient." Mr.Reign was getting fed up with her nagging and just wanted to make his wife happy.

Mr and Mrs Reign was blessed to be designated to have twins, however, when one of them died in the stomach of Mrs Reign and the other was pronounced dead after fifty-two seconds of birth, she vowed not to never have kids again. However, she lived to have someone she could call her own one day. Hearing the news that a fellow classmate she attended college with was having a baby girl, she couldn't help but let her intrusive thoughts take over.

So after four months of planning and $400,000 being deposited into Mariah's account each month, here Mr.Reign was coming to collect his "prize".

Feeling defeated, Mariah sighed, "I hope karma bites you in the ass." She spat as she let go of Kaomei's cart and went to retrieve another new born, who was soon supposedly be put up for adoption but would be displayed as "Kaomei".

"What was so hard about adopting a kid, why kidnap one?" Mariah mumbled angrily as she entered Room 205, a room that displayed over thirty newborns.

Rolling his eyes and huffing, Mr.Reign slightly bended down ripping the foot band off the new borns feet which displayed her information.

"Welcome to the world, Mija".
