It's like the worst feeling in the whole entire world. It's that feeling that after you've become close with something and then you simply have to…..let it go. It's a feeling I would only have to feel once in my life. It's hard.
Really hard.
I hold Kiley close to me as we all sit again in the hospital. Freddie rubs my arm. It's hard on him as well. No one can let go of a child.
" Can I hold her?" Freddie asks lightly. He knows that this is hard on me. It's not like me at all to become like this but I had become attached to Kiley.
" Yeah." I say simply. Freddie wedges his hands through my arms and picks up Kiley lightly from my arms.
Freddie
…
I've never been a father. Well, I'm more likely going to become one when I'm older but, now I know the feeling my father felt when he left me and my mom. It's a feeling I never want to feel. I hold Kiley close to me and she opens her eyes like she always does. Showing off her hazel eyes. She makes a small giggle that makes me laugh. I poke her nose and she smiles. I kiss her on the forehead.
" Okay kids," Mr. Zemen says. "Time to give back the babies."
" Can I hold her Freddie?" Sam asks. I turn my head to her. She had sadness written on her face.
" Sure." I say trying to smile. She takes Kiley from my arms.
That is the last time I ever held her and I hold that with me.
Carly
….
When I think of Glenn. I think of this overprotective guy that doesn't take the time of day to chill. Glenn is like your average guy with issues. One thing about Glenn that I've learned about is that, he's completely sensitive and wants to help people. Which is adorable and can't help of loving. He wants to make you feel safe with the world. So I love how he holds me at night when we look down over Ryan in his crib or how he strokes my hair but making sure not to touch my forehead. I hold Ryan close to me as Glenn has his arm around my shoulder.
" Okay kids," Mr. Z says. " Time to give back the babies." Glenn's hand grips my arm. Glenn and I get up out of our seats like everybody else. Doctor Cole leads us to the projection room where a group of couples stand.
" Carly, Glenn. This is Mr. and Mrs. Ward. The parents of Ryan." Doctor Cole says as we stand in front of them. Ryan his most of his dad's looks. The light brown hair. The green eyes from his mom as her chestnut color wavy hair flows down.
" Hi." Mrs. Ward says. " Can I have Ryan." She adds.
" Yeah." I reply and hand Ryan to her. She looks down at his face.
" Thank you. He must had enjoyed you two." She says. I nod and so does Glenn. Mr. and Mrs. Ward walk out of the room. I look over to Glenn.
" I'm okay." He says smiling. I smile. I walk out of the room grabbing my bag from my seat.
" Carly." I turn around and Glenn stands there with his hands in his pockets. " I know we were just partners for this health assignment and we really never knew each other before this, but, would you like to go on a date with me?" I look down to the ground and then look back at his lovable face. " Cause I would really like to know you more." He adds.
" I would love to." I say coming up to him.
" Great, because my grandma owns a restaurant and her lasagna is to die for." He says.
" I'm looking forward to it." I pass my fingers through his and grip is hand. He squeezes back and smiles. We walk out of the hospital hand and hand.
Giggling.

" Sam, Freddie." Doctor Cole says guiding us to some couple. " This is Mr. and Mrs. Godridge." Mr. Godridge shakes Freddie's hand. Mrs. Godridge's black hair in a loose ponytail as she wears a white blouse and skinny khakis. Mr. Godridge has light brown hair that is gelled back with his black glasses on. He wears a blue polo and black jeans.
" How's little Sammie?" Mrs. Godridge says.
" Sammie?" I ask.
" Her name is Samantha Elena." She says.
" My name is Samantha." I say.
" I could tell." She says smiling. She takes Samantha from my arms.
" She's very beautiful." Freddie comments.
" I know." Mr. Godridge says then kissing Mrs. Godridge on the cheek.
" I was talking about Sammie." Freddie says.
" I know but she has her mother's looks." Mr. Godridge says.
" Thank you, for taking care of her." Mrs. Godridge says.
" It was a pleasure." I say.
" Come on Leslie." Mr. Godridge says putting his hand on her back and guiding out of the room.
" I can tell she was treated well Mark." Leslie says.
" Me too." I watch his arm go around her waist as the exist the door. I then look over to Freddie. I scan him.
" See you at school." I say and leave him there in the room.
