Chapter Four

Tommy and Lee waited in the lobby of the small hospital. They’d left Ellie-Rose with Ellen and the rest of the gang, unsure how long they would be. Lee sat in a rocking chair, holding the baby, who, after polishing off her third bottle in less than four hours, was sound asleep. Finally, after what felt like hours, but was actually thirty minutes, the doctor came out to the lobby and sat next to them. “Darla gave birth about six hours ago, but did not deliver the placenta. Fortunately, I was able to do get everything out with a D&C. Thank God you found her when you did. I shudder to think what would’ve happened. I was careful, of course, and everything looked fine. She should be able to have more children if she decides to. We’ll keep her here for several more days at least.”

“The poor girl,” said Lee.

“She says she’s firm in her decision. She wants to give the baby to you. She’s ready to sign a formal adoption agreement. Is that what you want?”

Tommy was unable to speak. Lee leaned forward in her chair. “Girls often change their minds after a few days.”

The doctor shook her head. “She seems quite sure right now.”

“We want her,” said Lee. “We absolutely want her, but I’m worried about Darla. She may not be thinking rationally right now.”

“Why don’t you go in and see her? I need to do a full examination of the baby. You can talk to her while I do so.”
