 When you wake up, you see the nurse who delivered your baby sitting beside you. She smiles at you as you take in your surroundings. Your hospital room is white, save for a few blue decals on the walls.

"Where's my fiance," you ask the nurse.

"Oh, the man brought in with you. I'm not sure, but I can ask for you." She stands up and leaves the room. As she does, you realize you forgot to ask about the baby.

A few minutes later she returns with another man.

"[NAME], this is Dr. Brower. He's in charge of your fiance's recovery." The man nods to you and sits down next to you.

"Hello, [NAME]. Gilbert's condition is.... Mostly stable. He suffered a lot of blood loss and is now in a comatic state. We hope that he'll wake up soon." You nod your understanding, trying to process what Dr. Brower just told you. Gilbert is in a .....coma. They hope he's going to wake up.

"Can I see him?"

"Soon. You need to rest.Your body has been through a lot and you need to regain your strength."

"What about my baby? Can I see her?"

"Yes. The doctors are just finishing with her shots and should be bringing her in at any moment." Just as he finished, the door to your room opens and the assistant from before wheels in a crib. He parks it next to my bed and you look down at your baby. Her tiny face is your skin color and her eyes are closed. The nurse walks over to you and helps you sit up.

"You can pick her up. Just be careful, she's asleep." You gently pick up the baby, marveling at how light she is. She stays asleep as you hold her, staring down at her face.

"I'm going to go check on Gilbert's progress. I tell you any news, [NAME]." Dr. Brower stands up and nods to the nurse, then leaves. The nurse smiles at you and then also leaves. You rock the baby a little, taking in her appearance. She looks like a perfect blend of you and Prussia. Your skin and you suspect your hair and eye color, but his nose and mouth shape. You love her so much.

Being as careful as possible, you place her back in her crib. Then you close your eyes and drift off to sleep.
