The nurse came in with the baby, and she asked, “Would you like to hold her?”

He stretched out his arms and held his baby for the first time. She was beautiful, looking like her mom with a little button nose and soft pink lips. Her eyes were closed, but he could see that she had long lashes. Her skin was the color of smooth caramel, and she had jet-black curly hair. He was speechless holding his little girl. He kissed her. “Happy birthday, Angel. I’ve been waiting for you.” He sat in Kay’s room holding their baby, memorizing her, counting her fingers and toes. At that moment, she became his rock.

His parents walked in. His mother had been crying, but she walked over and looked at her grandbaby. “She’s beautiful.” His dad hugged and kissed him, saying, “She is going to be ok.”

“If that were true, the Doctor or Nurses would’ve told me.” He said without looking at his dad.

The doctor came in, and Debbie took the baby from Jason. “Your wife is in the ICU. She’s in critical condition because she has lost a lot of blood. What happened to her is common in some woman. I know you don’t want to hear this, but I just wanted you to know it wasn’t your fault. There was nothing you could’ve done, and now, all we can do is wait.”

“What do you mean wait?” his dad asked.

“We did all we could. Now it’s all up to her.” The doctor answered.

Jason broke down crying in his dad’s arms. “Let it out son. Your daughter needs you now more than ever.”

After he calmed down, Debbie handed the baby back to him. She opened her eyes. She had beautiful hazel eyes, making him smile. She had the same doll eyes as her mother’s. He lost himself in her eyes, and said, “I love you.” The nurse came back to get the baby. It was time to feed and change her.

His dad turned to him, and said, “Your wife needs you to be strong for her too. Go see her and let her feel your love. We will stay here waiting for the baby.”

He walked into the ICU. She was hooked up to machines with a tube down her throat. He couldn’t bear to see her like that. Only about five hours ago they’d been happy, waiting for their bundle of joy. He started to remember how their day had gone and started whispering, “I’m so sorry for what happened with Tommy. I understand what you did and why. Kay, Sweetie, I love you.” He paused. “Angel is waiting to meet you. She is beautiful; actually she’s perfect. I can already see she has your personality. She has a good set of lungs; I wish you could hear her cry. She has already won over her grandparents with those big beautiful eyes. Baby, I need you to wake up. She needs you. I need you.” He broke down crying. “Please wake up, Sweetie.” He grabbed and squeezed her hand.
