Unbreakable Hearts

~Life~

The two months wet by quickly, as my doctor promised me months before, I got the bed next to my husband so he wouldn't be absent during the birth ofhis daughter, Alanna. It was a natural birth the best part was resting up for a nap well-dersevered and I got to lay down next to my husband again, something I haven't been able to do in months. It was a relief hearing his heart monitor all night long, while I am holding our baby in my arms, eventually put her down. At some point during the night, I picked the baby back up and gently held her in my arms for a brief moment. I placed her on top of Steven's chest. For a moment, it almost seemed as if he was waking up he heard the baby squeal. I thought it was the painkiller getting to me. 

A few minutes later Dr. Demolish came and said,"I'd hate to ruin a beautiful thing here,but it's a part of my job when the doctor, in this case myself, has to take the baby to the nursery. There Alanna, is it? Will get washed up and get the rest she needs before you are able to take her home." I walked to the nursery with the doctor and he directed me to the cradle my baby would be put in. Dr.Demolish put a pink beanie on the baby with a wristband that had her name onit, Alanna Jane Feilds. Jane being named after Janie. I stared at her for a few minutes and admired how beautiful she was.

I walked back to my room to take a nap, where I rested for three hours. By the time I woke up the painkillers had worn off  by then and I  knew I wasn't delirious. Steven sat up in his bed wide awake. I knew he wouldn't be as strong as I'd hoped that he'd be. I ran into his arms and he spoke to me. 

It was the first time in months he'd spoken to me,  so this time, I did all the listening. He told me," I appreciated you coming down here every weekend you possibly could. So, I wanted to thank you for that. I  thank you for being strong when I wasn't. I had that cezure because the thought of you being here in this germy, filthy room; disgusted me and with a not-quite-born child I didn't think it was going to be safe enough for you or the baby. So, therefore, it was a sign saying not this time. Luckily, the doctor revived me, the thought of my daughter missing her daddy and wondering all her life where I was; would break my heart. I was so excited when you told me we're going to be sharing this room at least I would get to hear the baby if I hadn't seen her. Plus, you told me to not die on you and I did do everything in my will to keep that from happening. "

"You're are just an amazing husband! You were trying this whole time to give me sign but somehow, I couldn't see any of it. The nurse, Rita told me that 'everyone in a coma could still hear ' and I wanted you to hear that. I'm glad you didn't have to miss big milestones in her life like: first steps, first words, and so much more to come. I thought you were going to be there a while more, I'm glad you're not though. Seriously, I don't know what I would have done at that point." I said to him.

"When are you clear to leave?" 

"Tomorrow, but I'm not leaving here without you this time."

"I also leave tomorrow as well, I can't wait to get back in our bed and hold you close."ssayll hold you to that statement."

" Don't worry I know you will. "

"Gosh I've missed you so much,  Janie helped me when she could. More than half the times I visited you, she was the one driving me here, so I could focus what I was going g to say. Another reason would be because when I'm mad and driving, I couldn't be able to go on the road, or I'd crash my  car."

"Alright, we can both leave here tomorrow, but enjoy the day while still can."

"Actually, I was thinking we could get some sleep. It's been a long day and it's already night."

"That works too." 

I walked to my bed and laid down said whispered ,"Hey Steven"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for holding on. If I had lost you... "

I doze off to sleep before u could finish the sentence. Steven chucked at me and whispered,"Goodnight" in case if I heard him. I didn't, but oh well. He told me he had said that when we woke up. 

The morning Steven could finally come home was here. I grabbed Alanna and went striaght to the lobby. I ended up signing us all out of the hospital. Steven woke up not long after that and we were ready to get out of there.  I texted Janie to come and get us and bring a car seat. And within two hours, she was there. She sat in the lobby for  at least twenty minutes admiring the baby and how she looks like the perfect combination of me and her daddy, I agreed to that and kissed Steven on his neck. On the car ride home, I told Janie that the baby is named after her and I mentioned the baby's full name is Alanna Jane Fields. Janie quickly looked at me and was lost in the fact and of course, she flattered herself. She dropped us off and welcomed us home.
