Introduction

This story was written by my sister who sadly died last year.

When I read this story I found that it shows that you can achieve anything if you persevere, which was the way my sister lived her life

Chapter 1

At a long abandoned railway station the very young woman screams at the night. Her family hasn’t been near her since they threw her out for ruining her chances at a successful life.

There’s no one there, just a mattress someone dumped months ago. The girl, for at 16 she was legally still seen as one could barely breathe through the pain, but she knew from the doctor at the free clinic that she must when the time came. The pains continued to get stronger and more frequent until t she barely had a rest between them. Suddenly she felt the urge to push. So push she did, but the blood came too fast and heavy, not even stopping with the arrival of the next generation.

She felt weak but still she reached in to the blood to pull her baby to her chest. At first she can’t find any life signs, and hopes she won’t have to use the first aid skills she learnt at school. She is too weak, to even attempt them. Then when the baby cries she pulls some strength from somewhere.

The new strength allowed her to grab a chunk of chalk, which someone has also dumped there, and use it to write the words:

Abigail Jane never gives up.

When they finally found her the girl had a jacket wrapped around both her upper body and the baby. They also saw that the umbilical cord had been cut, probably with a piece of glass from the ground, as shown by the cuts on the dead girl’s hands where she’d held it.

Later as the baby lay in a crib at the hospital, the nurse asked the paramedic who’d bought her in what name should be put on the admission forms and card above her head.

Well her mum wrote Abigail Jane, so I’m guessing that’s what she wanted to name her

You sure it wasn’t her name?

We don’t know, she had no ID

Abigail Jane it is then, but what last name?

How about Boga, that’s the station she was found at

I thought it was closed and demolished years ago

It was, but her mum was living there

Ok. Did you find anything of her mum’s she could keep? the nurse was asking to find out because she’d grown up with no memories or items related to her mother after being left at a local orphanage when she was only two days old.

Just the jacket she was wrapped in, she only had the clothes she wore, and most of them are soaked in blood from the haemorrhage

Can we leave it with the baby?

I don’t see why not, it’ll give her at least some link to her mum

That’s what I’m thinking

Finally the doctors allowed Abigail to be released from hospital in to the arms of her first foster parents. A couple who had never cared for a baby before but had always wanted to try; they accepted her in to their life with the intention of eventually adopting her. They soon found out however that she wasn’t what they thought she’d be.

So what’s wrong with her? asked Jenifer taking her in for a check up at the age of two, because she’d finally decided something needed to be done about her lack
