Chapter

Seven

In what seemed like only a few minutes later, I jerked awake. I frantically started feeling for the nightlight on the rail of the hospital bed, finally finding it and pushing it on. “Ben!” I yelled. “Where’s Lucas?” I jumped out of the bed and was almost to the door when Ben finally woke up and answered me.

“Emily, wait. They had to take him to the nursery this morning for the pediatrician to see him.”

I turned around as Ben rose up from his cramped position on the recliner and stretched his arms over his head. His clothes were wrinkled, his eyes were red, and his hair was flat on one side from a few hours of sleep. I started to calm down as he came over and put his arms around me.

“Are you sure he’s okay?” I asked into his chest as I wrapped my arms around his waist.

“Yes,” he said as he put his chin on the top of my head. “I went and checked on him right after the nurse left with him, and then again about thirty minutes ago.”

My shoulders slumped in relief. “Oh, okay. How long have I been asleep?” I asked.

“About four hours?”

I pulled away from so I could see him better. “I had a nightmare,” I told him as I blinked several times, trying not to let myself cry.

“I know. I did too.”

“Will you go with me to check on him again?”

“Sure, but let’s get your robe on first,” he said as he let me go.

I slid on my fluffy green robe and slippers, and we slowly made our way down the hall. I was getting around easier than I thought I would be so soon after delivery. Other than a little soreness, I felt pretty good.

As we made it to the glass window I started looking over each of the babies, and it only took me a second to find ours.

I let out my breath. “There he is.” Lucas was asleep, as were three of the other five babies around him.

“I want to hold him,” I told Ben.

“Come on, let’s go get him.” He took my hand and led me to a door where he pushed a doorbell-looking button. Within a moment a smiling nurse was opening the door and letting us into the nursery. She checked our identification bracelets they had put on our wrists when we checked in, and then she left to get Lucas for us.

“He’s ready to go,” she said as she rolled his bassinet over to us. “His pediatrician just left. He gave him his first hepatitis shot and drew some blood to check his bilirubin, but said his skin coloring looked just fine.”

Oh God! They have his blood! I grabbed onto Ben before I collapsed. He looked unusually pale as he held me up.
