Alison POV:
"Eden, do you want to see your baby sister?" I ask.

"Yeah!" She exclaims.

She stands on the stool the doctor left for us, and looks in the incubator.

"See so tiny!" Eden say.

"Yeah." I reply.

"Why?" Eden asks as she turns her head to look at me.

"Because she was born early."

"Why?"

"Because she wanted out."

"Why?"

"Because she couldn't wait to meet everyone."

"Why?"

"Oh, my god." I exasperate. "you are just like Emily."

"See look sick." Eden tells me.

"She is. But not too sick." I inform the little human.

"Oh, deaw!" Eden breathes. "Sissy sick!" She wails.

"But she'll be okay." I say, trying to calm Eden down.

"Why see in dis?" Eden asks, referring to the incubator.

"To keep her safe and warm."

"Why see nakie?" Eden inquires, and gives me a questioning look.

"Because of all the tubes and wires."

"See get a sot?"

"Yeah, she got a shot. But it was to help her. Just like when you get sick."

"Whew Emmy?" Eden inquires.

"She went to go get food."

"Oh." Eden says simply, and goes back to looking at the tiny human.

"See cute!" Eden giggles.

"When see go home?" Eden asks as she turns around to look at me.

"When she's healthy."

Eden looks at me with a look that says, "I just wanted a baby. What is this?"

I sit down in the chair, and watch Eden as her eyes light up in excitement every time the baby moves.

"What her name?" Eden questions after a few minutes.

"Emily and I haven't decided on one yet. What do you think it should be?" I ask.

"Amy." Eden says.

"Amy?" I ask.

"Yep." Eden replies, popping the 'p' at the end.
