Third Person's Pov
At the hospital, the ICU was noisy with urgent voices, making family members outside feel scared.
They were worried about losing the mother, whose pregnancy was risky. Even though doctors warned her, she wanted to have her baby.
The baby had to come two months early, which was dangerous. No one could go inside, so loved ones waited nervously in the hallway.
A man walked back and forth, trying not to cry. He loved his wife very much and didn't want to lose her or their baby.
Then, after a long wait, the ICU door opened. A doctor came out looking worried.
"We can only save one - the baby or the mother. Please choose quickly and sign the papers. The mother is in danger. We can't risk her life."
As the doctor spoke, Vivaan Raichand felt like time stopped. Then, his mother put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"Vivaan, don't worry. Everything will be okay," his mother said.
Vivaan, standing by his wife Anamika's bed, could barely speak.
"Mom, they... they said they can't save her. How can I... how can I kill my own child? I couldn't live with myself if I did that."
"But we need to decide fast, dear. We have to pick Anamika, or else... you know what will happen," Sushma Raichand, Vivaan's mother, said urgently.
She loved her grandsons but had old-fashioned ideas and didn't like baby girls.
Vivaan whispered very quietly,
"Save Anamika," as he signed the papers. His younger brother Yuvaansh tried to make him feel better.
"Be patient, brother. It will be okay," Yuvansh Raichand said.
He and Vivaan were only one year apart, so they were more like best friends.
As they waited, they suddenly heard a baby cry. Everyone got scared, and Vivaan whispered,
"Anamika," thinking something bad had happened.
He started to cry, and so did everyone else.
Then, the doctors came out smiling.
"Congratulations, Mr. Raichand. It's a miracle. Both mother and baby are safe now," they said.
Everyone felt happy and relieved. Vivaan cried with joy, and so did the others.
But the doctor warned them,
"The mother is sleeping because of medicine, but the baby needs special care. We have to take her to a special baby room because she's weak and having trouble breathing. We don't know how she'll be yet. Let's hope for the best," the doctor said, then patted Vivaan's shoulder and left.
