“Your baby is healthy,” Lynne said. “Want to see her?”
“See her?” Hazel asked.
“Watch this,” Lynne said.
With a few buttons pressed, the screen suddenly changed.
Gone was the flat looking, grainy pictures of our daughter.
In its place was a thicker looking picture.
I had no idea what I was looking at until I saw a little foot.
“Is that…”
“That’s her right foot,” Lynne said.
“It looks so real,” Hazel said.
“It is real,” Lynne said. “All five little toes. Want to see her face next?”
Hazel and I looked at each other.
This time we agreed without hesitation.
Hazel slowly put her right hand over her mouth.
I grabbed her left hand.
I leaned forward.
“Come on, sweetheart,” Lynne whispered.
“I feel her moving,” Hazel said.
“Yeah. She’s a little stubborn right now.”
“Takes after her mother,” I said.
“Here we go,” Lynne said.
A little face appeared on the screen.
It was a smushed looking face, but a…a real face.
“Atlas,” Hazel said.
Her voice cracked.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“She has your nose,” I said.
“My nose?” Hazel asked.
“Yeah,” I said.
“I agree,” Lynne said.
