Chapter 10
It was two days later and I was
finally discharged from the hospital. I walked down to the nursery with Nick. I
held onto his hand tightly as we got closer. We walked up to the Nurses desk.
"Hello, We would like to see our
baby" Nick said, his words trembling a little. I knew he was as sad as I
was, just thinking about our baby suffering made my heart break
"The baby's name please" The
nurse said, her glasses sliding off her nose as she looked at us.
"Faith Noel" I whispered as
the nurse typed something into her computer.
"Come with me" the nurse
said as she stood up and walked towards a room as we followed her. I saw a
translusant bin ahead as we stopped at the bin. I looked down at the almost
lifeless body that was our baby girl. Tears fell down my cheeks as Nick pulled
me into a tight hug. The nurse walked away as I felt tears fall onto the top of
my head. All the machines and tubes scared me was she going to live? Or die in
the hospital. I touched Faith's soft cold cheek and stroked it.
"Baby we better go" Nick
said as I nodded my head. We walked slowly out of the room and out of the
hospital. I put my head on Nick's shoulder as we walked to the car. Nick opened
my door and I got in.
"thank you" I whispered as
Nick closed the door. He got in on the other side and started the car. We drove
towards the house as I looked over at Nick. I saw him glance at me out of the
corner of his eye.
"Whats wrong baby?" He asked
as we turned down a side street.
"Faith still doesn't have a last
name" I said as I looked out the window.
"Don't worry about that now, well
figure it all out later after you get some rest" Nick said as we pulled
into our driveway. I got out of the car and waited for Nick to get out, as he
walked over to me I took his hand and he smiled down at me, I could tell he had
some hope in Faith. I smiled a weak smile back at him as we walked into the
house.
"Go get some rest, you need
it" Nick said as he kissed my forhead.
"What about dinner?" I asked
as Nick shook his head.
"You don't worry about that I'll
make dinner tonite" Nick said as I smiled.
"Oh no you'll burn down the
house" I said as Nick laughed lightly. He picked me in his arms and
brought me upstairs.
"Nick what are you doing?" I
asked as I put my arm around his neck.
"taking you upstairs since you
wont go yourself" Nick said as he smiled. He placed me down softly on our
bed. I got under the covers as he kissed me. I saw Him walk out of the room. I
felt my eyes start to get heavy as they closed.
