Matt's POV

I don't know how long I'd been here but I was still waiting. My parents were here and Ana's dad and sister. My mom and Stacey had the baby and they were oohing and aahing all over her.
"Here Matthew, you should feed her." Mom said holding her out to me.
"No." I said, shaking my head.
She was getting ready to object when the door opened and a doctor walked in.
I watched him grab a chair, pull it close and sit down.
"Matthew." He started and as soon as he spoke I knew it was bad and I didn't want to hear it, I really didn't. "As you know there were complications."
He looked at the other's in the room. "She lost a huge amount of blood."
Huge was an understatement.
"We've done what we can, the rest is up to Ana's body, depending on how it copes with such a trauma. The good news is we managed to stop the bleeding."
"What do you mean?" I asked him. "About Ana's body?"
"The body copes in many different ways and considering the blood loss it's a waiting game, there can be complications."
"Such as?"
"Organ failure, her blood pressure was non existent, her organs were starved."
I nodded but what I really wanted to do was punch something.
"The other thing is we had to do a hysterectomy."
I just looked at him.
"We did everything we could, but we couldn't stop the bleeding."
"Oh Matt." Mom said softly.
Oh Matt! It wasn't me I was worried about, it was Ana. I knew this news would devastate her, she'd be shattered.
"Now you can go in and see her and we wait for her to wake up."
I stood up, I really wanted to see her.
"Here." Mom said holding out the baby.
I looked down at her then at mom.
"Take her in there Matthew."
"No."
"Take her." She said shoving her into my arms. "I'll get her a bottle and bring it in, she's getting hungry."
I looked at her and she was starting to fuss about. I just stood there looking at her tiny face, the faces she was making and once again I was amazed at how much she looked like Ana.
I followed the doctor to Ana's room and sat down in a chair next to her bed.
She looked so pale. She looked dead.
"Fuck Ana." I said out loud. "This wasn't supposed to happen."
Just then the baby started crying. I looked down at her and did the only thing I could.
I cried with her.
