“How’s Skye doing?”

“Good,” Slade said. “Trinity is stuck to her like glue so she’s never alone.”

I knew everyone would be stuck to her like glue.

“I think she’s being released today,” Slade said. “Which is good because I know she’s eager to see the baby.”

“Yeah.” But I knew it would break her heart to see him like this. He wasn’t wrapped up in a blue blanket wailing at the top of his lungs. He was confined to a glass prison as he tried to stay alive.

The nurse came over and checked the monitor. “Do we have a name yet?”

“Uh…” I hadn’t thought about it. “No, not yet. I haven’t seen my wife much.”

“Well, we need to get one soon,” she said. “For the birth certificate.” She asked me this a few times and I always gave her the same answer. But I knew I was running out of time.

“Okay.”

She walked away and left us alone again.

“Have any ideas?” Slade asked.

“A few.”

“What are they?”

“Cornelius, Sawyer, Connor…”

“Cool,” he said. “Those are nice.”

“Skye wasn’t in love with them. I’ll have to ask her about this…if she’s up for it.”

Slade nodded. “This baby deserves a good name. After everything he’s been through, it should be really awesome.”

I nodded.

Slade’s phone vibrated with a text message. He pulled it out of his pocket and read it. “Trinity says Skye has just been released.”

“Good.” At least she was well enough to leave the hospital.

“And she’s coming here now.”

I already knew this would be her first visit. I leaned toward the box. “Mommy is coming…she’s excited to meet you.”

Slade didn’t make fun of me for talking to my son, who didn’t understand a word I said. “For what it’s worth, he’s a cute baby. You guys did a good job.”

“Thanks…”

He smiled then stood up. “I guess I should go. You know, the two person policy.”

“Yeah, you probably should.” Nothing was going to keep Skye away from here.

The door opened, and Skye immediately walked inside in her sterile suit.

“How the hell did you get here so fast?” Slade blurted.

Skye acted like she didn’t hear a word he said. She immediately headed to the box and looked down at our son. Both of her hands were pressed to the glass, and her nose was too.

Slade held his silence and didn’t move.

I put my arm around her and let her have her moment.

“He’s…beautiful.” Tears fell down her cheeks. “He’s perfect.” She sniffed loudly and kept her hands to the glass. “He’s so small but so adorable. Look at those fingers…” She kept crying and didn’t seem to care that Slade was standing right there.

“I told him you were coming,” I whispered. “Now we’re all together.”

She leaned over the glass and rested her face on her arms. She peered into the glass at the same time, just watching him.

I rubbed her back gently as she had her moment with our son.

Slade watched us with a pained look on his face. “I’m so sorry…no one should have to go through this.”

Skye lifted her head and looked at him.
