Can you Stand the Rain (Antonio Dawson)

Marco

Antonio pushed my wheelchair down, to the NICU, I tried to stay calm as I kept processing the fact that our baby boy was born 17 weeks early. I wanted to forget the bad thoughts but the doctor in me had my mind going to of all the things that could go wrong. He pushed me into the NICU and over to an incubator near the window and I felt my heart break looking at our precious baby. I felt some tears fall

"He's so little!"

"I know 1lb, 2oz, 6.5in long." He said rubbing my shoulders

"Oh God," I said reaching in and rubbing his little hand

"Hi baby, I'm your mommy. I am so sorry." I cried Antonio wrapped his arms around my shoulder and kissed my cheek

"This is not your fault baby, I don't want you to ever think that."

"He's beautiful isn't he?" He said and I nodded

"Yeah, I think he looks like you." I said staring at his little face

"Really? Those are definitely your curls." He said and I laughed

"Yeah they are. Look at him look at what we did," I said in awe that we created this little person

"Well I helped a little you did the heavy lifting." He said

"When we get back to the room I want you to call Eva and Diego, I have a name in mind and just want their opinion."

"Alayna are you ok?" Eva asked as I looked at them through the face time

"I'm doing good guys. Did your dad tell you guys your brother is here?"

"Is he ok? I thought he wasn't supposed to come for few months." Diego said

"Well because of the accident, he's here early, but he's going to have to stay in the hospital for a while before he can come home." Antonio told them he sat in the bed next to me

"Well, I have an idea for a name and I just wanted your guys opinion."

"Ok." They said

"Marco Raymond Dawson."

"Marco."

"Marco?" Antonio asked in my ear

"I like Marco," Eva said

"Yeah I like Marco too." Diego said

"Alright so Marco it is. I really can't wait to see you guys and I love my flowers."

"I picked them out." Eva said

"I helped!" Diego jumped in and they started arguing about who picked out the flowers, when I felt a splitting headache hit

"Hey, knock it of Alayna needs some rest, go do your homework,"

"Feel better Alayna." They said and I blew them a kiss.

"I love you guys." He said then hung up after an love you too

"You want me to get the nurse?"

"Not just yet, did you catch the guy who did this to us?"

"We have some leads you were going to tell me who was stalking you do you remember that?" He said and I shook my head

"I don't remember much from that day, just remember the headlights and everything went black."

"We're going to figure this out, but you should rest."

"Is intelligence working this?"

"Couldn't stop us if they tried."
