Tom waited in the nearly empty waiting room, his head in his hands as his eyes stayed shut.

"Mr. Hiddleston?" A male doctor asked quietly as Tom stood up quickly, towering over the dark haired man. "Your wife had a hemorrhage." he quietly explained.

"Will she be okay? Is she alright?" Tom urged with red watery eyes.

"We are doing everything we can, but there is a possibility she won't make it through". He said, "She will be kept in the ICU."

Tom stood outside of the glass, leaning his hands on the frame of the window, silent tears streaming down his face, looking into the nursery watching his newborn son sleeping peacefully, wrapped in a little blue blanket.

He couldn't let himself think he would be raising his child alone as he accompanied a blonde nurse into the room, she picked up the small infant from his bed and placed it in Tom's arms.

Tom smiled weakly, "I love you.... so much." he whispered as he kissed the baby's forehead.

The light was too bright, I blinked several times, trying to get my eyes to adjust. Slowly, everything came into focus, machines filled the room around me making steady beeping sounds.

I tried to move my left arm but stopped quickly when I felt an uncomfortable pulling on my skin, I looked down and noticed the I.V. connected to my hand.
I went to touch it with my right hand but I felt something holding it down. I turned my and saw Tom sitting in a chair close to my bed, his head resting on my bed and my small hand in both of his. I freed my hand, running my thumb across his cheek.
It almost looked as if he had been crying? The memories flooded back in a blur, 'What happened?' I thought as I looked around the room.
Tom moved under my hand and he slowly turned his head in my direction, he opened his eyes and saw me looking at him, he sat up at once, relief washing over his face.
"Y/n." he breathed, Taking my hand and kissing it.
He then stood up in a hurry taking my face in his hands and kissed my lips.

"I thought I lost you." he whispered, his eyes starting to water.

"What happened?" I asked, confused, "Wheres our baby?" I started to panic.

"He's, alright, he's in the nursery." Tom said.

"He?" I smiled, "It's a boy?" He shook his head and kissed my forehead. "When can I see him?"

"As soon as the doctor sees you." he said explaining what had happened. Tom called the doctor, who told me the details, I was kept in a medically induced coma until I was safe, its been days since my child was born.

Tom helped me sit up in bed, and a nurse walked in with a little blue bundle. She gave the baby to Tom and she left, closing the door quietly behind her. Tom look at his baby, and smiled at me, walking towards me as I excitedly outstretched my arms, he softly placed my baby in my arms for the first time.
Tom sat next to me on the bed watching me as I held my baby, our baby. He yawned and looked up at me with his little pretty eyes, blue, just like his father's.
I heard a soft knock on the door, "Come in. " Tom said.

"I brought the birth certificate, have you decided on a name?" the nurse asked.

We had talked about it before, "Chris." we both said at the same time.
