“She has your mouth though,” Hazel said.
“This is amazing,” I said.
“Let me take a picture of this…”
Lynne pressed more buttons.
We then got to look at the baby’s hands.
Ten tiny fingers.
Then her face one more time.
I never felt anything like I did in my heart.
The good news was that the baby was healthy.
The better news was that we had pictures of the baby to look at.
We both kind of floated out of the office.
Outside.
To my truck.
I helped Hazel into the truck, then got in and started to drive.
I had no idea where we were going next.
Hazel suddenly gasped. “I want pizza.”
I looked at her. “Craving?”
“You have no idea how hard it just hit me,” she said. “I saw the neon sign over there.” She pointed. “I want pizza right now. I want pizza with mushrooms on it.”
“Mushrooms? Really?”
“Atlas,” she said, touching her stomach.
“Okay, fine. What my girls want, they get.”
My girls.
Referring to Hazel and the baby.
I wasn’t sure what I was becoming here…
I ordered an entire pizza.Covered in mushrooms.
I held Hazel’s hand when we walked on the beach.
I sat down on the beach and helped her to sit down next to me.
Then she dove into the pizza.
Two slices down to my one.
“You don’t like it?” she asked.
