Hazel's mother's point of view
I had just given birth to my second child. She was beautiful. She looked exactly like Hazel. I looked over at my husband who was soothing my hair back.
"You did a great job honey," he said.
Giving birth is hard work. It is painful and requires a lot of strength. That's why they call it labor I suppose. Every second of pain was worth it.
Dr. Maria came in.
"Frannie," she said, "Thomas I have to speak with you about something."
I gasped.
"Is something wrong with the baby," I asked.
"No but this is... about the baby. We compared her footprints to Hazel's baby footprints. It's a perfect match. The only way that could happen is if this baby is actually in fact Hazel."
"WHAT," Thomas and I asked at the same time. I was delighted. Who is given such a gift? Who is granted such a wonderful miracle? Thomas and I were. Thomas had tears of joy in his eyes. I had tears of joy streaming down my face. I was so happy I could not stop crying!
Hazel started crying.
"Give her to me," Thomas said, "I know how to calm her down."
I didn't want to let her go but I gave the baby to her father. He rocked her like she was in a hamock and sang to her. Her tears turned quickly to cooing. He gave her a kiss.
"How did this happen," I asked Dr. Maria.
"Nearest I can figure it's a miracle," Dr. Maria said.
It certainly was a miracle.
"Thomas," I said, "I want to hold her again."
He smiled, kissed me and then handed Hazel back to me.

Gus's mother's point of view
I was in labor for hours. Even the pain killers that they gave me was not working. The baby was breach and the doctors finally decided to go in and do a C Section. The baby was born at 12:04 AM. He looked exactly like Gus did when he was a baby.
When Dr. Maria told Mark and I that she compared our baby's footprints to Gus's baby footprints and it was a match I was overjoyed. In only seconds fear kicked in.
"Here," I said to Mark, "Take him. I'm tired. I just gave birth after all."
"Of course," Mark said kissing me.
"Come on Gussy," he added, "Lets let mommy get some rest."
I shook my head in awe. This couldn't be happening. Gus was back. He was back as a baby but he was back. I would have given my right arm for this but it also meant that he could... that I could lose him again. We could lose him again. Eighteen months ago we burried Gus. Six months after that Frannie and Thomas burried Hazel. Yet here we all are in this weird and wonderful and damn scary situation.
Hazel's point of view
It's weird being a baby again. I can't say I'm hungry or I'm tired or I'm scared or I'm not feeling well. I can't say I have a dirty diaper. I can't say anything. After being in heaven for a year with Gus GOD decides to give mom and dad a gift... me. He also decides to give Gus's mom and dad a gift... Gus. We were born at the same time. I'm only like 4 hours older then him. I giggle thinking about that. My mom smiles and tickles me causing me to laugh harder. I messed my diaper and started crying. Mom quickly changed me.
"There, there Haze," she said cooing, "Nice new diaper."
Hazel, I thought but I couldn't say anything.
Gus's point of view.
Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace. We were born together and we would be together sooner then before. Our parents are friends. Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace. I can't wait to see her again. It's been nine LONG months in my mother's womb. I'm tired. I'm laying in a basinet next to my mother. I fall asleep dreaming of Hazel Grace.
Hazel's father's point of view
Frannie is asleep so I took Hazel. It's been a year since I saw her. It's been years since I held her.
"Hazel Grace Landcaster," I whispered, "I love you"
Hazel looked at me with soft docile eyes. She then feel asleep with a smile on her face and her thumb in her mouth. She was probably dreaming of Gus.
Gus's father's point of view
Emily woke up.
"Is he still asleep," she whispered.
"He is," I said smiling at her and at him.
"Good," Emily said, "Let him sleep. He needs it"
"Em," I said, "You don't seem happy-"
"Happy? Mark I'm delighted. But I'm terrified. How can I love him again? I could lose him again. It hurt the first time but-"
"Honey," I said, "Don't think about that right now. We have him back. Our wish came true"
