The Next Morning.....
I opened my eyes when I heard someone calling my name! When I looked up it was Mo smiling at me from the hospital bed.
Good morning Bae! She said
Good morning Bae, how you feeling? I asked her
Pretty swore but I'm so thankful that Lucas is fine! I was so scared she said with a small tear falling from her eyes!
I know you was, shit so was I. But he's here when will we be able to see him? I asked
Now I was waiting for you to get up! She said
Ok cool, you need help up? I asked
Yes please, this c section shit ain't no joke Bae! She told me as I helped her up!
Do you want a wheelchair?
Nooooo, I need to move around! She told me really snappy like too!
Oh my bad damn! I said walking behind her!
I'm sorry Bae, but you sound like the doctors and shit! She said laughing!
I laughed too, whatever Bitch take me to my baby! I told her as we got on the elevation to the 7th floor where the NICU was located. Mo had to show them her wrist band. After the nurse check it out she led us into his room. There were other parents and babies inside as well! We followed the nurse to baby Lucas. He was sooooo small Mo said he weighed 3pounds and 9ounces! He wasn't able to eat on his our so he had a feeding tube in his mouth. He had IVs and tube all over his little body. They had him in a Isolette, it's a small bed enclosed by hard clear plastic. It's to help the premies to keep warm because it's difficult for them to hold body heat. There was holes on the side of the Isolette for our access to touch Lucas while in was inside safe.
We just stood over the Isolette for a while just staring at his little body! He looked so small and fragile. I felt bad for The little guy, with his handsome self. He looked just like his daddy already! Mo must of really hated that nigga!
Ms. Johns Hi, I'm Nurse Phoebe and I'll be baby Lucas care taker while his here! He's a really strong baby already. He's eating well and he is reacting well to some of the tests already. The nurse stated.
That's great! Thanks you can I hold him? Mo asked
No, I'm sorry Ms. Johns he's still a little to weak for that. But you can touch him through these holes right! Hold on let me get you two some gloves. She said walking off to get the gloves.
I looked over to Mo and she was crying! I went to hug her! Don't cry Bae! She said he's strong he'll be home with us in no time! I said holding her.
I know Ni, I just don't know what I did wrong!
You didn't do anything wrong baes, these kind of things just happens sometimes. It's gods way of showing us how strong we are. He's fine he's gonna be big in no time. He'll be home with you very soon. She said he's eating well so he'll be nice and fat in no time! I said calming her down!
Yeah you're right, Mo said as she wiped her eyes and the nurse returned.
Here you are, just put the gloves on and the place your hand inside of the holes. You'll be able to touch him that way. At least until he's strong enough to be out and about. She said and stepped to the side so that Mo could bond with her baby! I watched as he wrapped his little tiny fingers around Mo's. My heart melted just watching! She did as well I could tell by the happy tears rolling down her face!
I love you Lucas, you hear your momma little guy! I love you! I won't let anything happen to you! I got you forever baby! Mo Said as she stand there bonding with her son.
