Amber

Another cigarret goes down as you continue walking from side to side out of the hospital. The doctor offered you to stay during the birth labor, but you have a weak stomach and you just can't stand the sight of blood, much less a baby coming out from your wife's body. Amber was very understanding, after 5 years togheter she knew that the procedure would be overwhelming for you, so she took a weight off your shoulders by letting you wait outside. Still you're dying with the expectation. Amber Is your adoration, you both love eachother and have been happily married. The birth of your first child Is the peek point of a relationship that has been nothing else than a blessing. After an hour that feels like eternity a nurse comes out the door and calls for you with a smile on her face, a good sign that brings your soul back into your body. You rush and follow her to your wife's room. Amber is laying down on the bed, exhausted but happy, she receives you with open arms and a big smile. - It's a girl... A baby girl... They're gonna bring her in a couple of minutes... You hug and kiss her lovingly, caressing her face with exultant afection, feeling this is the happiest moment of your life. The nurse comes in with a small package wrapped in a pink blanket. Amber gasps as she receives the baby in her arms. You lean to gaze upon your daughter for the first time and your smile fades away, she's a beautiful dark ebony baby girl, a little strange since you're both caucasian. Your mind starts racing like a runaway train. Wasn't nine months ago when you hired a contractor to build your swimming pool? A black muscular guy... What was his name? Warren! He was working at your house for about a month, mostly supervised by your wife while you were at the office. Holding your breath you turn to look at Amber, trying to find an answer in her eyes, she's speechless gazing at her baby girl with wide open eyes. - She's... beautiful...! - Her motherly love already bonded to the child.
