"It's a girl! "
The doctor gushed, placing the wailing infant on the woman's chest.
She heaved trying to catch her breath in the aftermath of her gruelling labour. Tears of pain mingled briefly with tears of joy before dissolving into tears of sadness.
She had once again given birth to a girl! Her third daughter. What would her husband and in-laws do to her now?...she knew what she had to do. She had to pack up quickly and catch the earliest train out of there. She didn't care where, she just knew it was time to flee. She caught the first train to Ireland. She had always wanted to go there ever since she was a child. The train ride was spectacular. They had given her complimentary snacks and drinks. The view out the window was amazing. She couldn't believe her eyes. Out of the smoke appeared three tiny flying dragons. One was a glowing green, the others were glowing red and purple. The baby just laughed. When they arrived in Ireland the baby and mother felt a peace and calm they never felt before. Ireland was breath taking. It was so nice and empty. She walked for hours and finally found a tiny cottage. This cottage was grand. Inside was a tiny library and plenty of food. There was also an old record player and old tv set. Outside it started to rain and thunder. The moon and stars were incredible. The stars illuminated the entire village. Music soon filled the air.
