*1820*
*The Asylum for Female Orphans*

On a dismal , stormy and wet evening sat The Asylum for Female Orphans.
A woman wearing a pitch, charcoal and raven cloak with a hood covering her face from view ran over quickly to the double gates.

Creak!

The sound of the woman who just pushed opened the double gates forward.
Allowing herself to go on, into the grounds of The Asylum.
The woman rush on over to the doors of the building as no one was in sight, only her.
Once she has made it to the doors, the woman stopped and look down at the new-born baby.
Held in her arms, covered by a single cloth to keep the baby cosy and warm.

"Don't worry my child, you will be in good hands here. No one will ever hurt you, and they will always keep you safe" the woman told her child in a quiet tone, so that no one can know that she was here.
"...more than I can" she added in sorrow, trying not to burst into tears right now...to get too emotional.
She needed to do this now, because otherwise the woman made get too attach to her child and won't want to give the baby up.
Feeling a mix of sadness, loss and grief that was thrown at her...all at once.
Feeling guilty about doing this, giving up on her own child that she created in her own image.
But the woman knew one thing, she knew that this was the best decision for her to make.
Even though she would feel like this was a bad decision right now and would regret it.
The woman knew one thing, in her heart, that this was a selfless decision to make...a decision made out of love.
That would assured the safety and protected of her child, a roof over her head.

So the woman woman went and place a single kiss on her baby forehead, before  before placing them down onto the cold ground.

Knock...Knock...

The woman quickly turned and ran away as...

Door Open

"Hello?" a woman said, who is a nun that works at The Asylum.
Who opened the door half-way, peeking her head out into the outside weather.
But stop short as she can see that there's no one there, on the outer side of these doors.
Seeing if there is anyone there, but when she doesn't see a single soul, she was about to close the door when...

Wah!

The nun stop all of the sudden as she suddenly became confused.
She once more decide to take a look outside as she step forward a bit, but there is definitely no one there.

Then the nun slowly looked down, to see...

Wah...Wah...

The nun slowly kneels down and gently scooped the baby into her arms, carefully so she doesn't stop them.

Shush...Shush...

The nun gently rocks the baby left and right...

Coo...Coo...

The nun smiled as the baby has calm down from their crying and has gone back to sleep.
She stood up and looked around her surrounded once more before going back inside, closing the door behind her.
