I looked down and wanted to live the moment I had been thinking of for so long.
Hearing the scream of our daughter.
Feeling her being placed onto my chest.
Looking at Atlas as we met our daughter for the first time.
Only none of that happened at all.
The entire room became fuzzy again.
I looked at Atlas and saw him looking at the doctor.
The doctor and nurses were quick to work.
“What’s happening?” I called out. “Where’s the baby? Where’s my daughter?”
“We’ve got her,” the doctor called out.
Atlas looked at me.
I nodded.
He broke away from me and ran toward the doctor.
Charles got in the way and said something to Atlas.
My head was so foggy and my body so achy and tired…
I looked to my right and Hannah was still there.
I reached for her.
She grabbed my hand and leaned down.
“You did amazing,” Hannah said.
“I want to hold her,” I said. “I want to hold my daughter.”
I started to cry.
Atlas came rushing back to my side.
I looked at him.
I told him to get our daughter.
I saw the look on his face.
The man so huge and strong… and he was scared.
“Hazel,” another doctor said to me. “Focus on me, okay? We have to finish up here.”
“What? Am I having another baby?”
“No,” the doctor said. “Just one baby. I promise.”
I realized what was happening next.
