"Yes... What is it?" Gomez spoke. Then he looked at Morticia as she stared at doctor with a bit of hope.
"Your daughter has had a severe head injury..." The doctor responded.
"But?" Gomez asked starting to get angry as he watched Morticia loosing hope.
"That's it..."
"What! That's it!" Morticia screamed. The doctor was shocked by her angered reaction and tried to fight back.
"Mam... Usually people are excited to hear their is a fifty percent chance of getting better!"
"Have you even had the chance to look at us!" Morticia yelled back trying to fight tears. "We are wearing black! Do we look like optimists?"
"No Lady! And judging this child's injury you don't look like good parents either!" This hit Morticia right where her heart laid and shattered it into a million pieces.
Gomez was stung by his words true, but he knew Morticia. Words and opinions fell deep into her insecurities.
A silence descended upon the group as everyone felt something close to their hearts. The doctor regret, Gomez felt empathy and sadness for his wife, and Morticia... What did Morticia feel? Honestly she had no idea.
Morticia glanced at her husband who had given his hand to her for he knew about her weakness.
"Stay strong Tish..." He mouthed.
Finally Morticia was the first to speak...
"Can we see her now?"
"Of course..." The doctor spoke quietly. "Room 6..."
Gomez and Morticia then bolted to the room to find the newborn hooked to machinery of all sorts.
"Oh..." Gomez spoke softly as he touched the glazed over with glass crib.
"She doesn't even have a name Gomez..."
"How are we going to fix this!? Maybe I am a horrible mother..." Gomez looked up at his wife appalled.
"Tish stop that!"
"What?"
"Don't ever say your not a good mother..."
"Why not Gomez? I dropped this one! I'm a horrible person!"
"Whoever says your a horrible person is a horrible person themselves Carda..."
"Not as bad as me..."
"Quedria we will make this right! Because you are the best mother there is!"
"Gomez I love..."
All of the sudden the monitors started to jerk and move and the baby started to... Breath! Gomez and Morticia were shocked as the doctors once again came flooding in. The couple was pushed out and left to wonder.
"Did we...?" Morticia started.
"Do that?" Gomez finished. "I have no idea..."
"Well do you have any name ideas yet?"
"Yes Carda I have some wonderful thoughts."
"Really? That's unlike you!"
"I'm thinking Linnea or Grim..."
"Not bad!"
"What are your thoughts my sweetness?"
"I thought Clara or... Doctor!"
"Huh? Oh..."
"You may come back now Mr. And Mrs. Addams your baby is alive!"
