Everything just happened so fast, I couldn’t help but to think that this was my entire fault.
As I sat in the waiting room of the hospital I couldn’t help but to think about Alia and the babies’ health, I couldn’t calm down. I just paced back and forth in the waiting room constantly glancing at the clock waiting for the doctor to come through. Alia’s dad decided to go in with her because I felt like things weren’t as patched with me and Alia so I just stayed with Amy.
“So you are the one that Alia talks about all the time?” she said and I turned to her and sighed.
“I bet the comments that she says to me are not that great.” I sat in my seat and put my head down, “I put her through so much pain I’m too ashamed to even go inside the operating room and support her.”
“Don’t be ashamed honey, you guys might be going through problems but if there is one thing that I know is that she still loves you a lot. I’ve never seen a woman take so much pride in a man like you, she says you been through so much but she accepts it and helps you through all of the flaws. She loves you Hun don’t forget that.” I nodded my head and agreed with her. Alia has been there even when I just had this internet love for her. I was taking all of this for granted, “Just like I told Alia, success is full of twists and turns but I guarantee you is that you will be successful you just have to go through the trails and tribulations first.”
I just sat there as she comforts me with words making me feel way better about myself. Amy really pushed me out of the cave that I kept on crawling deep into and it was helping me, I was starting to feel like my old self again.
“Knock Knock,” I looked up to see the nurse and Alia’s dad rolling the baby incubator into the waiting room and I couldn’t help to have this big weight lifted off of my shoulder.
He was so small, somewhat like the palm of my hand. Tears already were starting to come down my cheeks just looking at him. This was my life, another human being that I had to live for. I kneeled down looking at the incubator and saw his name, Alexander Cain Smith; I just looked up at ceiling and burst out crying. She really named him after my best friend. Alia’s dad came over and patted me on the back.
“It was a miracle; we were surprised that he made it. I swear this baby has angels watching over him.” He said and I nodded my head still crying.
“How’s Alia? Can I talk to her?” I asked and he nodded his head as we guided me to her hospital room and once I got there I saw her laying there with her eyes closed. I just rushed by her side and held her hand stroking my thumb over her IV needle and just cried.
“I’m sorry for everything, just being this dumb boyfriend. I should have been better I should have listened, I should have cared more,” I took a deep breath, “I should have been me. I took out my anger on the wrong person and it almost ended up with me losing you the baby or both but I had faith, we had angels watching over us and protecting us.”
She opened her eyes and smiled.
“I forgive you but I won’t forget what you did but at the same time I have to turn over that leaf and start a new life as a family. You just have to promise me that you are going to be the best father that you can be for your whole family okay?” she said slowly and I nodded my head.
“Yes I promise I really promise” I kissed her on her forehead and smiled.
“Alright too much love,” he groggily said and I smiled kissing her softly on the lips then sat next to her looking at her weak body not even saying the word.
“I want to ask you something.” I stated and she looked at me and nodded her head.
“Why did you name him Alexander?” I asked and she looked at me and smiled.
“I felt like he deserved it and you deserved it. Even though his uncle is not there physically he is there is spirit it’s the only way to honor him correctly.” She smiled making me put my head on her thigh and cry as she put her hand on my shoulder and comfort me.
We were turning over a new leaf, a new life forever.
