A few days later
Rose was rubbing her nose against my lips when I woke up. I looked down at her and she had the biggest smile on her face.
"What?"
She only continued to stare at me until I looked down seeing lil Bryson was laying on her chest.
"You got him?"
"They came in and took him for a few hours then they came and said I could hold him."
She gave me the burping cloth and handed him to me.
"They said he was healthy too." She laughed overly loud but it was music to my ears
"Your laugh."
"What about it?"
"Haven't heard it in a while... it's beautiful."
"I get to leave today."
Her whole face fell and the mode that filled the room turned blue and I knew exactly why.
"We gotta leave him here." I assured her thinking
"Yeah. I don't want to though."
"I can get a nurse."
The tone in the room jumped back up, it's almost like we shared the same energy. I felt what she felt, we were now connected. The door opened and the nurse came in with another person behind him. The connectedness Rose and I felt was gone in a matter of seconds.
The nurses smiled at me and Rose but her eyes lingered on me for a second more. I mean mugged her for a second. She sees me with my wife and child and she's flirting. I'm over cheating, I'm overly in love with Rose. She gave me the world even after I ripped it away from her so many times.
"Is there anyone who is certified to be a home nurse?"
"I am." She yelped before sitting down and rolling I've next to Rose
They talked for a few minutes before Rose reached out to hug her with an excited laugh.
"She agreed to do it." Rose squeezed my wrist multiple times
"How much?"
"250 every 2 weeks. We get to take him home."
"Where she gone sleep?"
"At home with us."
I sighed slowly.
"You don't want her too? She doesn't have to. We can leave him here, it's okay, I'll tell her."
"No." I stopped her
"It's fine... she can live with us."
