whispered. “Kay?” but she didn’t respond. He ran out the room and got the nurse. She called her doctor. When he came, he did some tests, but she still didn’t open her eyes. He didn’t see any change.
“What do y ou mean? She squeezed my hand.”
“It could’ve been a twitch. I’ll be back to check on her later,” the doctor answered.
He laid his head down on her stomach and fell asleep.
She opened her eyes a bit and looked down at him. She put her hand on his head. She couldn’t quite talk with the tube in her mouth. She ran her hand again in his hair, and he opened his eyes when he realized someone was touching him.
He picked up his head and saw that his prayers had been answered. “Kay, sweetie, I need to get the doctor.”
She tried to talk, to say, “don’t leave me.”
He stayed and kissed her, “I love you...” he whispered. He pressed the nurse call button and called for the doctor. The doctor came in and checked her. He asked Jason to leave the room while he took the tube out of her mouth. The doctor came out and told him she was awake and was having trouble talking, but not to worry because her throat was sore from the tube.
Jason had tears running down his face. “I’ve been waiting for this day when you’d finally open your eyes.”
She swallowed and start ed to get hysterical , when she put her hands on her stomach. “Where’s my baby?” She tried to say.
He took her hands in his. “She’s fine, she’s wonderful. She weighed eight pounds and five ounces, and she was twen ty-one inches long. She has black hair and big beautiful hazel eyes.” He smiled. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and he wiped them. “Here is a picture of her.”
She’s perfect, she thought, I have a baby. She asked. “What happened?” and he explained.

She was transferred from the ICU, and now was in a regular hospital room. Jason went home to get Angel so she could finally meet her mom. Amy entered her room with flowers.
“Hey, girl, you gave us all a scare. How are you feeling Kay?”
“I don’t feel anything, Amy. I’m just feeling numb. Thank you for the flowers; they’re beautiful.”
They talked for a few minutes about what had happened to Kay. “How did Jason handle this?” Kay asked.
Amy sat down next to he r. “Well,” she said, “Y our husband stood by your side nigh t and day. He prayed and believed that everything was going to be ok. Kay, he has to be running on empty. He has been here day and night and still had time to go home and be Daddy to your beautiful baby. Girl, you have one of the few good men. Don’t ever give him up.”
“How many days have I been out?” she asked.
“It’s been six days. Angel went home three days after she was born. Jason bounced back and forth between here to your house.” Amy answered.
“Anything else?” Kay asked.
“We did the presentation you prepared. The clients loved it and are in the process of signing the contract, but our clients want you to head the campaign. Just thought you’d like to know. If Jason hears me talking to you about work, he will probably kick me out. I’ll be back tomorrow to see you and let you know what’s going on at work.”
“Thank you for coming,” Kay said. Work was the last thing on her mind right now. She just wanted to see and hold her baby.

She sat up in her bed, still in pain and a little dizzy. When she looked up, Jason was there with Angel in his arms.
“Sweetie, say hi to your baby girl.” He looked at Angel then at Kay. “Angel, this is your mommy. She’s been waiting to meet you.”
Angel was wearing a pink dress with a bow in her hair. She was beautiful. She stretched her hands excited to hold her, and Jason leaned in and gave her their baby. She looked at Angel’s big beautiful eyes, and tears started rolling down her cheeks.
“My baby girl, I lo ve you so much,” she whispered, smiling and kissed her rosy cheek. “I’ve waited for you for
