Ricardo sat outside the theatre doors, tapping his feet against the tiled floor impatiently. He was forced out of the theatre after the baby was born and it had been 30 minutes and yet not a sign from his wife or child. Anxiety caught up to him and he was beginning to assume something had gone wrong, and it might result in a permanent episode for Kaitlyn. He bit his nails now and then, continuously checking the time on his wristwatch; counting every minute he'd been away from her. 

Just then, a nurse walked out in like forever, and he was up on his feet hoping it was news for him. When she didn't share a glance, he intervened to question her, "nfermiera... mia moglie è in sala operatoria da tanto tempo. Va tutto bene?" _nurse... my wife has been in the operating room for a long time. Is everything okay?_ He asked, worried. 

"Oh... no, signore. La signora Delvour sta benissimo. Lei e il bambino stanno entrambi bene. Verranno portati fuori tra poco" _Oh... no, sir. Mrs. Delvour is fine. She and the baby are both fine. They will be taken out shortly_ she reassures and takes an excuse to leave. 

"Tranquillo, bro, sta tutto a posto... We'll wait for her in the room. They normally bring the baby first and then the mother" _Relax, bro, everything's fine_

"Marcus! In questo momento voglio vedere solo mia moglie. Non vedrò nessun altro prima di lei" _right now I only want to see my wife! I will not see anyone before that_ Ricardo frantically sits, crossing his hands and huffing out in distress. 

Marcus walked to him and hung his hand over his brother's shoulders, giving him a side hug; "Sta bene, fratè. Calmati un attimo, ok? Just a few more minutes and you can be all lovey dovey with your Amore" _It's okay, bro. Calm down for a moment, okay_

"Shut up, Marcus" he curses through his teeth. Marcus back away with his hands up in fake surrender.

Both men's attention diverts to the double doors pushed back. Nurses walked out, pushing a bed with a drunk looking Kaitlyn who was under heavy anaesthesia. Ricardo jumped to his feet and hurried to the bedside. He took ahold of Kaitlyn's hand, reassuring her that he was with her as the couple walked into their suite. His brother watched from the corner how careful Ricardo was; he wasn't shouting at anyone or barking orders. He simply stood, holding his wife's hand in comfort. Marcus' eyes diverted to the female nurse walking towards the room with a bundle wrapped in her arms; she cradled the baby but carefully, looking at every step she took because she didn't wish to fall. Marcus went closer to the baby and smiled at the nurse, who showed the baby girl to him. 

The baby was asleep but when the nurse held her she looked huge for a newborn baby, he couldn't remember a time when his own son was this size after birth, "Guardi che forza... è già una tosta" _Look at that strength... she's already tough_ the nurse says rocking the baby, 

"E perché sarebbe così?" _And why would that be?_ He asks, folding the corners of the blanket to clear her face, 

"Beh, per cominciare, pesa otto libbre ed è lunga ventotto pollici" _Well, for starters, she weighs eight pounds and is twenty-eight inches long_

"Quindi... sarà una bambina alta?" _So... she'll be a tall baby_ the nurse nods and slowly begins to walk into the suite past the security guards kept up front. "Nessuno, tranne i dottori e la famiglia, può entrare. Anche un'infermiera deve essere accompagnata da un medico se la signora è da sola" _No one except doctors and family is allowed in. Even a nurse must be accompanied by a doctor if the misus is alone_ Marcus warns the 4 standing guard, she looks at the female guards and advises, "Se un'infermiera deve entrare da sola, dovete esserci entrambe. Mandatemi un messaggio se succede qualcosa" _If a nurse has to come in alone, you both need to be there. Text me if anything happens_
