Lily Paddington got into her car and flipped the sun visor down, using the mirror to check her make-up and hair.  A trip to the mall usually meant she was about to go on one of her relentless shopping sprees.  But not today and not on this trip.  This was a very important day, and one that she didn’t want to be late for.  But she was all ready late and it only made her more nervous than she all ready was.

All the phone calls and emails led to this.  She was actually going to meet him face-to-face.  Can fairy tales really come true?  This was the question on her mind as she pulled out of her driveway on Lime Street and drove past the General Hospital in the center of Lancaster City.  Her destination: Park City Mall.  At that very moment, there was a guy waiting for her in the J. C. Penney’s food court whom she had met online.  She was going there to meet the guy who might be able to show her that fairy tales can come true.

Pillow Talk –

It was 1 a.m. on a Thursday morning in early June. The weather outside was warm and Zeke had opened the windows to allow the breeze to bring in fresh air.

Lily lay up against the side of his body, wearing nothing more than her diaper and a white cami. Her condition had worsened and she had become extremely weak. As with the balance of everything else in her life, some days were good and some days were bad.

Relapses of pain were as common as could be. “Foggy Brain” days, as she called them, often skewered her emotions, leaving her a hysterical mess or an unreasonable soul. And without much warning, she would drift in and out of reality.

For as grim as her situation may have been, Lily was quite happy. She was just a few months away from her wedding (having been married to Zeke at her insistence by the Justice of the Peace a few months ago). Her questionable health still left pregnancy as an option and she was living the life of her fantasy – that of a BabyGirl. Continue Reading …

Part One –

Lily sat on the swing on her front porch. She lived in the upstairs floor of a building on Lime Street right next to Lancaster General Hospital. She looked down at her feet, taking them out of the sandals. She stuck her legs straight out and flexed her toes, admiring the red nail polish she had just put on them. She envisioned digging her toes into white sand. Trying to be patient, she checked the time on her cell phone. It was only 1:45 p.m. Zeke wasn’t due to pick her up for another fifteen minutes.

It had been a day where having patience led to good things. She left Zeke’s apartment this morning, heading to work. He gave her an envelope that she wasn’t allowed to open until she was sitting in her cubicle at work. When she read the letter inside, she learned that he had set up a two week vacation for the two of them to the Caribbean. He had even cleared it with her boss. She was to leave work at noon, and be packed and ready to go by 2 p.m.

Now she sat on her porch, awaiting Zeke’s arrival, and it was driving her crazy. Even though she had a million thoughts racing through her mind, the seconds still ticked very slowly and 2 p.m. seemed like it would never arrive.

“What will this trip include? Will I be big or little? How did he get my boss to agree to this? I work at Lancaster Newspapers. There are no such things as days off. Is he going to show up? Maybe he changed his mind. Maybe I was supposed to call him to confirm. Maybe he didn’t receive my email from work. Maybe I should stop worrying so much, but if I stop worrying, what happens if I was right to worry, and could’ve done something to prevent whatever problem is keeping him from being here with me now!” she thought all at once.
