It is the Christmas eve and here I am in the hospital having my contractions. I've been here since eleven in the morning and now it is almost midnight. The doctor and nurses begin to push me to the labor ward. Once we're in there, I could feel another stronger contraction. God please help me get through this. I screamed in pain and hold onto one of the nurses' hand. "You can do it Na Young. You're close. I can see the baby's head." Doctor Ji Soo encouraged me as I continue to push harder. "Alright good. Take one deep breathe and push harder." She encouraged me again and I did what she told me. I'm so weak yet I have to do it. One last push and I heard the sound of baby crying.

My vision becomes dark and blurry. "Na Young... stay with us alright. It's a girl. The baby is healthy." Dr Ji Soo said and she then placed the little one on me. I slowly opened my eyes once again and this little one greeted me with her eyes opened. I kissed her forehead and teared up. "Let us get you and the baby clean up then we shall push you back to normal ward." Dr Ji Soo took the baby away from me and next thing I knew, I passed out.

The sound of baby crying awake me and I look around realizing that I've been moved to the normal ward. "Na Young, you're up." Dr Ji Soo said as she push the baby cart closer to my bed. "She's beautiful, Na Young. Just like you. What is her name?" The female doctor lift the baby up and placed her on my arms. "Na Ra. Kim Na Ra." I said as I look at beautiful baby girl and sobs. "Well the hospital will be giving baby Na Ra a hamper since she is a Christmas baby." Dr Ji Soo chuckles. "Feed her alright. I will get my nurse to prepare meal for you." And with that she left.

I recalled what the little boy said three months ago. About wanting my baby girl. I can't let that happen. I can't let him take my baby girl. I won't let any of those devil worshipper take my Na Ra away. The nurses walks in and I look at her. "Can you get me a nun? I need to talk to her about something..." I told the nurse and without questioning any further she nods. Probably she thinks I need some good prayer for my baby. I ate the meal in silent while Na Ra sleeps peacefully. A few hours have past and Na Ra cries due to hunger. I picked her up and begin to feed her. The is her first meal and the last one from me.

The nurse came in as I was feeding Na Ra along with a nun. "She's beautiful." The nun said as she walks closer to me. "Na Ra is beautiful." I replied and the nun just smiled. "My name is Sister Ye Jin. How can I help you dear?" The nun asked and as soon as the nurse left, I look at the nun and hold her hand firmly. "Please take Na Ra under your care. Something evil happened and she needs protection and safety, sister. Please I begged you." Sister Ye Jin seems speechless. "Take her to your orphanage. In the future, just tell her that she's been at the orphanage since she's three months old. Make it seem like she received the love from me like she suppose to deserve. Don't worry I will come visit her once in a while." I said and the nun simply nod. "Can you do me one last favor?" I asked. "Anything dear." She said as she caresses Na Ra's cheek.

"Take a photo of me and Na Ra. Let her remember me as her birth mother." The nun did as being told. She took our photo together. With that I kissed Na Ra one last time and hand her over to Sister Ye Jin. "I will inform Dr Ji Soo about Na Ra. She's a friend of mine. I'm sure she will understand." I take a look at Na Ra one final time and kisses her cheeks. "Till we meet again, dearest Na Ra. Merry Christmas dear one." I place the crucifix necklace on Na Ra's little hand. "Merry Christmas to you dear child." The nun said and with that she leaves the room with my little one.
