Chapter 22

The moments Zahra and Hisham went to the hospital. And when the time came, Zahra gave birth to their first child in the hospital.

The early morning sun through the hospital room window. She lay in the bed, in her arms.. wrapped in a warm blanket, was their newborn son.

The long-awaited moment had finally arrived. Zahra had given birth to a healthy baby boy.

"He's perfect.."

Hisham gently touched the baby's small hand.

"SubhanAllah.."

"He is, isn't he?"

Zahra kissed the top of their son's head.

They had decided to name him Adam.

As Zahra rested, Hisham held Adam for the first time and at the same time he looking down at Zahra, who was resting.

"You were incredible, my wife.. I don't know how you did it."

"We did it together, Hisham. I couldn't have done it without your support."

After a few hours, Zahra's family arrived at the hospital to meet baby Adam.

In the following days, Zahra and Hisham brought Adam home.

One night, Zahra sat in the rocking chair with Adam at her arms, gently soothing him back to sleep. Hisham entered the room. He could see the tiredness in Zahra's eyes.

Hisham knelt beside her, gently stroking her hair.

"You're doing amazing, honey.. I don't know how you manage it all."

"I think we're both just figuring it out as we go. But seeing him, holding him...it makes everything worth it."

"I never imagined it would feel like this. Like every part of my life has a new purpose now."

"I love you, Zahra.. and I love our little family."

"I love you too, Hisham.. more than that."

They're watching their son sleep peacefully. Zahra and Hisham felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the journey they were on.
