It was so cold. Cold Cold cold. That was all I felt. But I was determined. I was going to at least save this baby, even if I die in the process.

I already had her in my hands before we had hit the water. But when I did the frigid temperature of it knocked all the air out of me. I kept Melanie’s head above the water the entire time though.

God it was so cold.

I then managed to pull ourselves up onto a shore, allowing myself to get a good look at this child of mine.

She was blue. Which couldn’t be a good thing.

“Oh god. This can’t be good at all.” I looked left and right, not seeing anyone around. “Hello!” I rasped as loud as I could.

“God Damn it.” I whispered, “What have I gotten into?”

And I quickly wrapped myself around the small frame of Melanie’s and shivered in the cold, hoping I was keeping her warm and alive.

I heard her wimper quietly as tears came down my face, knowing how I had screwed everything up because of my own selfish reasons.
