Marie just graduated from university and was looking for a job. But her parents was expecting to get her married. She was not ready but she agreed and within 2 months she married Rick. He was a business man and their life was going good.
Rick was a loving man and did every care of her. One day he expressed his wish that he needed a baby. But Marie didn't want to have one. Because it would ruin her life as per she thought. She didn't want to think about it but Rick insisted on it.
One night they had just dinner and she was cleaning the table. This time he became in a serious mood and told her that either they were having a baby or he would be leaving her. She got shocked at this. She really didn't want to become mom because a child would ruin her life.
A child would make her fat and give her nasty stretchmarks that would make her look ugly. She didn't wanted to lose her beauty as she was afraid she could lose Rick for this too. Moreover, she would have no time for her besties and fun. She would not be able to meet them and have her own time.
She shared the problems with Rick but he was very supportive. He told her not to worry because he was there. He loved baby a lot and he ensured that there would be no need for her to take care of the baby. Rick promised he would take every care of their baby himself and it made Marie to make decision.
She also didn't want to lose Rick as she loved him. So, one day while she was getting a strip test, she found the two lines. She was not happy inside with that but had to do it because of her husband. She told it him and he became very happy. From the first day Rick thought about their baby.
It turned out that he not only would take care of the baby but also helped Marie in everything. He was over the moon but she couldn't love her future baby yet. Whenever she stood in front of the mirror, she looked at her body and became sad. She was getting to lost the beauty.
She started blaming the upcoming baby for everything. She thought it was the baby's fault as none of her dresses fit properly. She felt beat all the time and blamed the baby for this. She thought it to be a burden. And was always dissatisfied with it. Even sometimes she was angry with it and scolded him.
One day she was combing her hair. She had gorgeous hair and she loved it much. But suddenly lot of hair started falling. She became much sad as it was taking them away. She could not have the peaceful sleep like before because it snatched it by his kicking. She became irritated with her baby.
She had to keep this because of her husband. And so she had nothing to do but to endure. She consoled herself by thinking that she would be getting rid of the kid very soon. And she would be free like before and lead her life again.
After couple of months Marie had labor and she was immediately taken to the hospital. She had a boy and they named him Mike. The boy was healthy and beautiful. And Rick started loving him more when he saw him first. But there was no change in thoughts of Marie.
The day she came home from the hospital, she handed the boy to her husband and told him that the kid was all on him from then. Rick was happy at that. And started taking every care of it. On the other hand, Marie started taking care of herself and tried to get back her lost beauty.
But suddenly Rick dumped her. He left the baby with Marie. It turned out that he was not ready for 24/7 parenting. He was tired of the crying baby, feeding him and changing his diapers. The continuous caring made him sick of the baby as well as the family. And so he was obligated to leave.
Marie was left alone with the baby Mike. She never took care of him and didn't know what to do with it. She hardly could sleep and the baby always cried. She soon got it why Rick had struggled so much and what made him dumped.
The boy wailed always. He wanted attention all the time. He was never calm and she didn't get time to have bath or eat. She hardly got time for her own. Mike annoyed her so much. And so she decided to put him up for adoption. She didn't love the child since she was pregnant, so it was not hard for her at all.
One day she called the adoption agency. They were agreed to take the baby and hand over to other family. They said that it would happen a lot faster if the baby was happy and stopped bawling. But her kid was expert in doing this and she made it her mission to make him happy and quiet.
She wanted to get rid of her son as soon as possible. So, she tried her best to make him happy. The next day she bought a lots of toys for him. She gave all to him and started playing too. For the first time the boy laughed with her mother. Marie also loved as she liked to play with him.
She started spending her free times with the baby. She played with him and learned that he like when she imitated birds. And she always did it and the boy laughed a lot. She sang him lullabies and he smiled at her voice. He also tried to sing with her own voice and that gave her much joy.
She hugged and kissed him. When she put him hear her heart, she felt a different feeling. Soon the crying baby turned out to be the most quiet and laughing one. Mike stopped crying and became happy. And now she could put him for a fast adoption.
She was ready to hand Mike over to other parents. One day she was strolling with her baby. Suddenly she saw a couple crying. They were having a teddy and they both hugged it. When she came closer, she could know that they had just lost their only child. Marie found them to be lost with their child and were lifeless.
That time she realized and change her mind. She felt how much she had loved her son and decided to keep him. That grieving couple helped her realizing that her boy is the most precious gift for her. She left the place and thanked God for the realization.
When she returned home, she saw Mike playing. It hit her that she wouldn't grieve if she lost touch with all of her friends. She wouldn't grieve if she became fat and ugly. She didn't care them anymore. But she would be devastated if she had lost her son! She never be able to live in her empty house anymore. She came to knew that she loved Mike more than anything and always wanted to make him happy.
A year had been passed. She didn't put her son for adoption. Because after the day she saw the couple, she never could think to lose her child. She thought she was the happiest woman who had a beautiful child.
One morning she was playing with Mike and suddenly the door bell rang. When she opened it, she found Rick standing there. He came back to her and her child. He told her that he had been injured and couldn't have kids anymore. He knee down and begged sorry to Marie. He told that he was sorry that he had left her all alone.
She laughed at this and told him that she had passed on getting back together with Rick. She throw him away and shut the door. She told him that this door would never be opened for him anymore.
Rick fled the second things got tough and showed what kind of dad he was. She was strong that she could stand even stronger than she was with him. She was grateful to him for one thing. For ordering a baby. She now realizes that having Mike helped her become a better person and drop the dead weight. And Mike made her the happiest she had ever been. And now she would do all she could to be a perfect mom for him.
