Eyes Behold

17. Crystal

So on Saturday , Rose left for the hospital with a new purpose at hands . She had been fidgeting around through all the classes . She couldn't take off this thing from her mind . How was she gonna do this ? . '

Asking the most famous pop star who noticed her doing an awkward dance at his concert and then crossed paths with her at the hospital she was gonna work at only a few days ago and yes not to forget had to go for a simple dinner with her 'cause he had no other choice , why would he even consider doing it again and that too for her friends? ' Rose mused . She had been contemplating on this thought since the girl's night in . She was dead sure now that it was a bad idea to have a girl's night .

She groaned stomping through the parking lot to Carlo's car . He was going to drop her today since she didn't want to burden Ryder .

" Carter ! That's final . You'll drop me only on alternate days . I'll manage the rest of the days "

Ryder pouted at that . He , the captain of the basketball team was so enchanted by this girl that he had pouted. Something that he had never done his whole life . But nevertheless didn't argue . It was almost impossible to get past Rose once she had decided on something.

So now standing in front of the hospital, Rose complemented her decision again . But one sneak peak in the last hour when she was about to leave burned down any doubts she had .

" Roe I swear if you even think about backing out now , I'll tell Claire you were the one who put those feathers in her book that year ."

Rose gulped ,she and Amelia both knew Claire's pure unmoving loath for feathers .She loathed them somehow , a mystery both had never been able to solve. That fine year Claire had ditched Rose to read some books in the library and Rose had every mind to make her pay back .So she kept a feather in her favourite book . Claire had shouted all kind of profanities which poor Rose's innocent ears had to hear at the person who did it . She never got the courage to touch that book again and 'cause it was her favourite, she had to buy another one . Rose had felt heartless later for laughing at her expense but didn't regret it . The scene was just worth it .

Nope , she couldn't risk her life for a simple dinner .So she held her head high and walked in as if she owned the place while on the inner side she was nervous like hell .

Louis had planned to let Rose assist the gynecologist today and Rose was pretty much excited. She loved children , especially new borns . She could never understand how some people could not like such angels who could light up the world just by a simple smile or a small giggle .They brought with them a new world , new relationships, new life , new love .

So she assisted Dr.Karl in the delivery of a lady named Mary .The delivery was intense filled with painful screams from the mother as she pushed with all her might for her baby. The sight she witnessed later was by far the most beautiful in her entire life .The moment that little angel popped out of her safe haven she was pale and red , the prior her skin and the later the colour coated by her mother.She was so small and fragile .Rose wasn't allowed to hold her yet , after all it was her first time .

She saw how Dr. Karl picked her up and cleaned her a bit so that her skin was visible , that's when her pale skin transformed into a beautiful hue of pale red on her face until it grew covering her whole body slowly making her all red, giving her the colour of love and life . Her angelic voice broke as she started wailing and moving weakly in the doctor's hands.Dr. Karl handed her over to the nurse who took her to the adjoining room to clean her up . Rose followed behind and once she was all clean , Rose took her vitals .

Thankfully the little angel was all healthy but wouldn't stop crying .Mary was still unconscious but there was no one with Mary to whom she could hand over the little one .So Rose cradled her as she observed Mary . Mary seemed a bit too weak for a pregnant lady . She had fallen short by 5 pounds as compared to the required weight . Even the little one was barely able to cross the required limit of weight to be called healthy. Rose could see on Mary's face , her life wasn't all rainbow and sunshine . She had faced a lot , she could see it.
