My Baby Is.....
Abby's POV.
"Abby? Abby, are you awake? Can you see me this minute? How many fingers am I holding up?" I heard Albert ask as he looked like a panicking doctor.
I was still weak and light headed. I wasn't sure about what happened but one thing was certain, I had a new born baby now.
A child that was certainly going to make me feel loved and feel comfortable with or without Alex by my side.
I turned to the left slowly and realised I was back to my room, seeing how the nurses had stayed outside the room looking through the window.
I turned again to the right but this time, not to see Albert who had kept on throwing Questions at me but to see my child.
I wasn't even sure of the gender I gave birth to at that point. The scan had informed me that it would be a girl but I wanted to be sure by seeing my child.
"Abby? Can you even hear me?" Albert asked , pursing his lips as he looked frustrated.
"Where Is my baby?" My first question left my lips as I kept on looking at every corner of the room for my child.
"You should have said something instead of making me look so stressed out Abby." He mumbled as he felt totally exhausted.
"Go get the baby from the ward… his mother wants him here!" Albert ordered as he sent off a nurse to go get my child.
Hearing him add a male gender specifications to his command made me realise that it was a boy that I gave birth to.
I smiled knowing his name , he wasn't going to bare Jack's name though. The only issue I was going to have with my baby was if he was born a premature baby.
I pinched the tip of my nose in frustration as I recalled the fact that he won't be normal just like other kids.
"Are you okay Abby? You look stressed out, are you sure you wouldn't want to leave the baby for now? So you could rest." Albert suggested, after seeing the way I struggled to think straight.
"I'm fine, doctor, I need to see my child too." I responded as I took my hand off my nose and sat up on my bed sluggishly.
"Thank Goodness you are okay Abby" he smiled with his hands dipped into his lab coat pockets.
We were still waiting for the nurse to bring my baby when the thought of Jack came into my mind again.
"Does Jack know that I have given birth? Does he know that it is a boy?" I asked Albert with a steady gaze at his face.
I couldn't wait to know that Jack had totally ignored me because I didn't kill my baby for him.
"Well he…. " Albert was going to say when the Nurse had interrupted us.
"Here is the baby sir! Strong and healthy!!" The nurse smiled as she handed the baby over to Albert gently.
"I can't believe it, is he…." I gasped seeing my son definitely looking all healthy.
Albert immediately handed him over to me and just as expected, he is a boy and a healthy boy at that.
There were no signs or traces of premature Birth. I wondered why as I looked at my baby but couldn't figure out the correct answer to it.
"You must be wondering why he isn't the kind of baby you think he would be right?" Albert chuckled as he saw how glad I was and stunned too.
"What happened Doctor? You told me the child would be half born and besides, I gave birth in 32 weeks. How come he is this way?" I questioned ,still trying to solve the puzzle before me .
"I guess the heavens weren't happy to see you go through that shit Abby. Remember I told you that your chances of giving birth to a normal baby was 50- 50. Giving birth to a normal baby was possible Abby, just that Jack never wished to listen to me!"
Albert placed his hand on my shoulder as he lectured me.
I was just so happy to see my child looking all complete that I didn't know when tears began to roll down from my eyes.
I looked into my child's eyes and for the first time in a long while, I felt happy and glad to see him.
"It's been a while since I smiled this real…." I mumbled, staring at the little kitten God had blessed me with.
I placed my hand on his nose and he wished to grab it but he wasn't that strong yet. His eyes were still getting used to my face and his smiles made my heart flutter.
"You definitely look like him." I said out as I giggled, playing with him on the bed.
"Sir! Another patient is in labour and your attention is needed this minute!!" The nurse ran into my room as she informed Albert.
"I will be back soon Abby and if you need anything, just inform the nurses!" He urged before dashing out of the room to go save a life as usual.
"I can't believe you are my baby …" I sniffled as I had a steady stare at him. He was just so cute for me to take my eyes off him.
"Would you like anything ma'am?" The nurse In charge of taking care of me inquired with a soft voice.
"Me? No , I don't..… I'm fine this way okay?" I responded with tears still rolling out from my eyes.
She turned around and was going to leave when suddenly, I stopped her halfway.
"Hey!!! Please… does my husband know about my baby?" I asked, looking curious.
"I called to inform him that you've been put to bed but… he wasn't happy from the way he ended the call ma'am. " She said out clearly.
"Maybe I could call him again and tell him it's a baby boy!" She suggested and immediately, I stopped her.
"Don't inform him about it Nurse, I want it to be a surprise to him!" I smirked at the end of my wish to her.
She obviously felt like I was going to surprise him in a good way seeing how she had kept on smiling.
"Okay then… bye!" She bowed her face before turning to Leave the room..
I looked at my baby and with a gentle touch on his face, I spoke up to him.
"Your Forster father must think you weren't born the normal way but I promise you this, we will show him that he doesn't have a final say. You were born a full baby instead of a premature baby which were his expectations''
"He will reject you but I will always be with you okay?" I added, like he was listening to me.
"You are my baby … and you will be called Jayden Alex!" I pronounced with a heavy heart as I thought about Alex instead of Jack.
