Chapter 17 - THE ARRIVAL OF THE HEIR
The day came,
in late September,
when Olivia felt,
the real contractions,
starting at home.
Caleb moved fast,
carrying her bag,
driving her safe,
to the hospital,
with gentle care.
The medical team,
was ready now,
bringing her into,
the delivery room,
without any delay.
This time there,
was no fear,
no cruel sister,
no silent relatives,
only pure love.
Caleb held hand,
whispering sweet words,
encouraging her strength,
as she pushed,
with all might.
After three hours,
of hard work,
a loud cry,
echoed through room,
filling their hearts.
It was boy,
healthy and big,
with blue eyes,
and thick hair,
born into love.
The doctor smiled,
placing the baby,
on Olivia's chest,
wrapping him tight,
in yellow blanket.
The hand-knitted blanket,
made by grandmother,
was his first,
clothing in world,
honoring her name.
Olivia wept sweet,
tears of joy,
kissing her son,
looking at Caleb,
with deep devotion.
"He is here,"
she whispered low,
"our sweet boy,"
"named Arthur Caleb,"
"Vance the junior."
Caleb cried too,
kissing them both,
feeling the immense,
power of love,
overcoming the hate.
Old Arthur arrived,
an hour later,
walking with cane,
tears in eyes,
seeing the heir.
He held baby,
with shaking hands,
smiling so bright,
knowing his legacy,
was safe now.
"He will be,"
the old man,
said with pride,
"a great man,"
"raised by angels,"
"in good home."
The news of,
the birth broke,
on the internet,
millions of people,
sending their congratulations.
The Sarah Center,
celebrated with feast,
feeding thousand families,
in baby's honor,
spreading the joy.
The birth marked,
the definitive end,
of the drama,
May you like
opening new chapter,
of pure peace.
