 10 more minutes. That's it. This will be the last time. 
 
 A lie in bed and stare up at my wall. Preparing myself.

 How long have I been doing this now? I'm exhausted. Only being able to rest ten minutes at a time is difficult. But it is better than the alternative. 
 
 I close my eyes. 
 
 *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

 What has it been now? Days? A week? I ca n't put this off forever. 
 
 10 more minutes. That's all I need.

 I walk down the hall to her room. I look into her motionless eyes again. 
 
 They ca n't do this too me. I'm not ready. 
 
 *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* 
 
 She starts to cry. 
 
 `` Hush! Shhhh! It'll be okay.'' 
 
 *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* 
 
 I pick her up and walk back to my room. 
 
 *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

 I hold her, as she lay motionless in my arms. 
 
 I look into her beautiful blue eyes. 
 
 *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* 
 
 *Clack* 
 
 Time can stand still forever for all I care. They wo n't have her. They wo n't take away my baby girl.
