"I can'ttttttt, pleaseeeee, ammaaaaaa!" It physically, mentally hurts like a bitch seeing her screaming and crying in pain and nothing else, energy draining out of her
She has squeezed my hands in dead grip, if birth was this painful, I would never have another one, one is enough for us
"You can do it meenamma, just last push" she shook her head screaming and caressed her forehead and just blinked at her
"I will buy anything you want, don't give up sweetheart, I am here with you" she cried and screamed again and I closed my eyes, she screamed so loud that I am sure the whole hospital heard it
"Sanjana?" She fell back on the bed breathing heavily and her eyes closed, she left my hands and it fell on the bed
"You did a great job sweetheart" I said looking at the little baby doctor just pulled out from under the blanket
The first cry made even the doctor close her ears because it was too loud, just like my wife, way too loud that Meenamma looked at the baby in worry
"What happened?" She asked and the doctor gave the baby to the nurse who cut the umbilical cod and gave the baby in her hands first
"It's a boy" we both stared at him who was crying tearing apart our ear drums
"He is fine, he is just too loud for a normal baby" of course, like mother, like son
But why does he have so much hair on his head? Aren't babies born bald? Like his whole head was covered with hairs
"You want to hold?" I thought mothers cried seeing the baby for the first time, anything for the first time she had always complete different reaction
"Who? Me?" "Nai meri Amma!" The nurse and doctor looked between us, they don't even dare to speak in front of me
I removed the gloves and sanitized my hands and looked at him still crying, he was so small
This is the first time I am seeing a baby in my life, and not anyone's but my own son! I have a son
Something suddenly kicked in me, the emotions, the feeling of being a father? The term feels strongly odd and good, chemicals of something new released in my body when I took him in my hands
My heart beat fastened, I held his neck and tiny butt and looked at him, his lips curled while crying and his eyes squeezed shut
"Why isn't he opening his eyes?" The doctor looked at me "it's pretty normal for a new born" she said and I looked at him
His nose is like mine, his lips are like mine, his eyelashes are long like mine, only his hairs are cruel and dark jet black, fully covered like a wig, just like his mother
"You became a mothe-" I turned to find her sleeping full of tiredness, the nurse took him to clean him up, I took her specs off and hung it on my collar, I kissed her forehead, eyes and then lips
