The time flies by and before I know it the nurse is coming back in. "I hate to be the barer of bad news but its time for him to go back in the incubator." my heart sinks a little. "Okay." I slowly pull the blanket off and she takes him away. I quickly grab my shirt off my lap and put it back on. I get back in the dreaded wheel chair and Josh wheels me back to my room where we find my mom. "Mom!" she stands up. "Hey baby girl!" she bends down and hugs me. "So good news your being released from the hospital tomorrow morning." I sit back down on the bed. "But what about the baby?" she sits down next to me. "You can come up here and spend as much time as you want with him while he's in the incubator." I am extremely calm and peaceful right now after that hour. So long as I can hold him, I think I can stay calm while he's in the incubator. My mom then looks down at her watch. "Oh I gotta get to work. You gonna take care of my daughter?" she says while staring at Josh. He smiles. "Yes ma'am." she smiles. "Good." she then gives me a hug good bye and exits the room.
I then flop on the bed with what I can only imagine is the goofiest smile anyone's ever seen. Josh kisses my forehead before sitting down next to me. I then lay my head on his leg. "He needs a name." he nods. "He does. Any suggestions?" I sit up. "Gabriel or Noah." he smiles. "How about Gabriel as his first name and Noah as his middle name?" I smile. "I like it. Gabriel Noah Matthews." his brow wrinkles. "Your giving him my last name?" I nod. "I've always wanted to be apart of the Matthews family. That last name means a lot to me. And if my child has the chance to have it, I'm giving it to him. Is that okay?" he nods. "Its perfectly okay."
"You know I was an incubator baby?" I look over at Josh. "You were?" he nods. "Yeah. I wasn't supposed to make it either." I sit back. "Wow. Well then we know what side of the family he got this from." I say jokingly. I then grab his hand. "But then we also know he'll make it." he smiles at me. "Yes he will."
