Vanessa pt 1

It was a quiet day, Sebbie, my son was weirdly not bouncing around, where he usually was just as energetic as I am, probably even more. Today he was tired and quiet. He was probably tired from last night, Vanessa and I could hear him cooing and making baby noises in his room, we decided to let him talk for a bit before we would try to get him asleep. We were both tired from work, I had just done a 2-show day from Hamilton and Vanessa had a busy day in court, so before we could tell Sebbie to go to bed, we fell asleep. Resulting in me the next day, totally energized and my son with big bags under his eyes and an absent look in his eyes. Vanessa awakes me from my thoughts. "Babe, I'm going to the store to get some bread and milk, should I take Sebbie with me, or do you want him?" I think for a second, hmm usually the rocking of the car helps Sebbie fall asleep faster. I say to her "You take him, he might be able to feel asleep in the car, besides I want to get some writing done before I have to go to the show.

After they leave, I go to my writing room and try to write a song for moana, a Disney movie, Disney asked me to write the songs for it and I'm honestly so honoured. I have always loved Disney, as a child I loved the little mermaid, especially the under the sea song, with Sebastian the crab. I convinced Vanessa to name our son Sebastian after him, she wanted to name him Jack, but after some convincing and telling her that she could pick the girl name, she caved in. After about an hour and a half I start to worry a bit, the store is only 10 minutes away, she should be back by now, what if something happened. I pushed the thought away saying to myself you always think something happened when they are along for a bit longer, they're probably just talking to someone. I focus on the work at hand, I've been fiddling with the sentence: I've been staring at the edge of the water __________ I can't seem to think of the rest, maybe I'll say: but I cant seem to pull away no, that is way to long, aha what about as long I can remember. Perfect I say to myself.

While I'm about three sentences into the song I get a call, It's from a unidentified number, ugh probably a scammer, trying to sell me something I'll just pick up and say I'm not interested. I pick up with an annoyed voice and say "I'm not interested.." I'm quickly interrupted by the person on the other side " Am I speaking with Lin Manuel Miranda?" " Yeah" I answer, a bit more interested, considering they knew my name, it probably isn't a scammer, a flash of worry goes trough my head, what if something happened to Sebbie or Vanessa?" What is this about?" "You were listed as Vanessa Nadal's emergency contact, my name is _____ I work in New York Presbyterian Hospital" This time I am the one who cuts him off" Yeah that's my wife is she okay? Did she have a baby with her?" " Your wife was brought in with heavy wounds, she was in a car accident, there was indeed a baby with her, he has some wounds to, but is out of immediate danger" I get sick to my stomach, with worry, Oh my god, Vanessa and Sebbie are hurt, wait he said that Sebbie was out of immediate danger, does that mean that Vanessa is in immediate danger??

"Is Vanessa going to be okay?" I ask worry, breaking my voice. " We really can't say yet sir she is surgery right now" " I'm coming over I say and immediately hang up the phone, taking the phone away from my ear I only now notice that the screen is wet from my tears. I step in the car trying to get to the hospital as fast as I can, I almost want to run a red light, then I remind myself two people in the family hurt is enough, I don't want to get in an accident myself, when I get there, the doctor says that all I can do is wait for my wife to get out of emergency surgery, there was some shrapnel from the car, that got near her heart, and is dangerously close to the aorta. When I ask about Sebbie they say he is fine and that I can see him if I want, he is a bit bruised up, from what they can tell Vanessa probably protected Sebbie with her body to keep him from getting to banged up. While I go into my sons room, I look at him. He looks so fragile, only 8 months ago we were in this exact hospital, because of his birth, I was crying my eyes out then too, partly because my son would finally be here and partly because Vanessa was squeezing my hand so hard I was convinced it was broken, now the reason I'm crying is because Sebbie is hurt and Vanessa might not even survive this surgery don't even think that Lin, she is so strong, she is way stronger than you, and she is going to survive this. While I'm lost in my thoughts, I suddenly hear the nurse who is tending to Sebbie say " sir, you look distressed which is not surprising in your situation, what people usually find comforting is having friends and family there, have you called anyone?" Of course, I should call my parents and Vanessas parents and the Hamilton cast, I was so busy worrying that I forgot to tell anyone " thank you, I will" I say to the nurse while she grants me a sympathetic smile full of empathy

I call Vanessas parents first, they immediately say they would be there as quickly as they can, same for my parents, with my dad muttering Spanish hail Marys. I then text the Hamilton cast.

Hamilton👑
