Amelia And The GhostHunters

ChoJoyce


A strange birth

Andre rushed his beautiful wife Laura to the hospital. His wife was grunting and yelling. "I don't want to die!!!." Laura screamed. 
Andre was scared. This was his first child after five years of marriage. He wasn't ready to lose any of them. The nurses said comforting words to the wife ensuring her that everything would be fine. They arrived at the ward where she would be used to give birth but they didn't permit the husband to go in.
"Please, Let me in! She is my wife and I've seen everything I need to see, please, just let me stay with her."
"I'm sorry but you can't. You should wait out here and pray for safe delivery." The nurse told him. Andre sat on the bench but stood up again. He was restless. He did what the nurse told him to do, he got on his knees and prayed. He saw the doctor go in with the nurse he was talking to. He waited patiently, praying and hoping.
It was midnight and he didn't want to tell his wife's family and his family about it because it was late. He wouldn't want anyone risking their lives. 
For the next few hours, there was no sign of the doctor or nurses and there was no cry of a baby either. He was scared. He tried to peep but he couldn't see anything. As he was about going to sit one of the nurses came out, and he rushed to meet her. "how's my wife and the baby?"
The nurse sighed. "We're trying our best to make sure that the baby and your wife are both safe. We promise that nothing will happen." She didn't wait to hear his reply, she left his presence.
Inside the ward, Laura was grunting and pushing too but something seemed to be wrong. The doctor has never seen a situation like this. He looked at the monitor trying to look for the baby but nothing was showing. "This is weird." The doctor said.
"Is everything okay Doc?" One of the nurses asked.
"I think we're going to do an operation on her. Although she's pushing hard the baby's head isn't out yet and even the baby's image isn't showing on the screen." the doctor explained. "you should tell her husband." The doctor told the nurse who was about to leave when the baby came out on its own without the mother having to push. It was a good thing the doctor had quick reflexes if not the baby's head would have been on the ground. 
The doctor was scared and so were the nurses. Laura was dumbfounded, she didn't understand what just happened. "um! congratulations ma'am! You gave birth to a bouncing baby girl."
"More like a flying baby girl." One of the nurses commented earning a chuckle from the rest of the nurses.
"Nurse Christen, do clean up the baby and bring her here immediately." The doctor said.
The nurse who said the joke was Nurse Christen, she grabbed the baby and took her to the change room. After she had cleaned her up and wrapped her in swaddling clothes, she noticed something unusual about the baby when she looked at their reflection in the mirror.
The nurse couldn't see the reflection of the baby in the mirror but when she looked in her arms, the baby was right there. She looked back at the baby and she could see the baby's reflection.
"Holy Father!" She called putting one of her hands across her chest and carrying the baby with the other hand. She looked at the mirror again and the baby's reflection was gone. She screamed almost dropping the baby to the ground. The nurses and doctor came to meet her.
"Nurse Christen, what is the matter?" The doctor asked when he saw her resting on the wall. "And where is the baby?" 
Nurse Christen pointed at the baby she had kept on the cot just a few meters away from where she was staying.
"Doctor, I think there's something wrong with the baby?" Nurse Christen said coming out of her hiding place to join them.
"And what is the meaning of that?" The doctor asked.
The nurse explained everything. "If you don't believe me, you can try it and see for yourself."
The doctor carried the baby and looked in the mirror. He waited for five minutes and the baby's reflection was there. The doctor got angry.
"Just a few minutes more...please!" Nurse Christen said. 
The doctor waited for ten minutes and it was still the same. He also gave other nurses the baby to carry and the results were still the same.
"But...." 
"But nothing." The doctor cuts in. "I don't know if this is a prank or something but I'd you go see a psychiatrist." The doctor said as he carried the baby. Other nurses followed while Nurse Christen was left alone confused.
She joined them to meet the baby's mother.
The doctor handed the baby to her mother who carried her and pecked her. Finally, the struggles of so many years have come to an end. 
Her husband came in and he got to meet his baby girl and his dearest wife.
"Thank you so much, doctor." The man said in gratitude.
The doctor smiled. "I must say, your daughter is special." Commented the doctor.
"Thank you." The man and his wife chorused.
"And very beautiful too." One of the nurses commented with a broad smile on her face.
Not to mention weird. Nurse Christen muttered to herself.
"What was that Nurse Christen?" The doctor asked as everyone's attention focused on her.
"I said and very wealthy." She said forcing a smile on her face.
The parents smiled. "I guess she will bring us good fortunes." The wife as they stared at their daughter in amazement. "Can't wait for her to grow up." The mother said.
"Me neither." The father replied.
Author's Note.
Why do you think it was only Nurse Christen that saw the baby's reflection disappear in the mirror? Why didn't it happen with others that carried her?
