... a father of 3 and a mother of 2 met at church and romance ensued. Not long after, a marriage and adoptions of their spouse's respective children occurred. Don't be mistaken, this is no Brady Bunch story, there was no smooth transition or sailing. Ever
Not long into the marriage, the father wanted a child; a boy, with dark hair and eyes to pass his heritage and name on to. No romantic notions now, it was more Henry VIII than "completing our family."
Sadly, pregnancy failed. But.
But, 3 years into the marriage, the mother was pregnant and quite large with it. Some thought "Twins" she was so large for her tiny 100pound frame. Needless to say, bed rest was ordered for the last month or so.
Being an Army family, the doctor wasn't the cream of the crop. He was Peruvian, trained and licensed in Peru, an immigrant who was re certified and licensed in the US. Think about it; some doctors who graduate are NOT at the top of their class. Someone has to be at the bottom...
Anyway, the due-date was misjudged and "false labor" weeks early, would've been "on-time."
Two weeks late by the wrong date, 4 weeks late in reality, a 23 1/2" tall baby girl with, Ha! black eyes and dark brown hair was pulled mercilessly from the womb.
She was damaged... by the pulling...
