Chapter 28

Jason and Elisa drove to the hospital in anticipation. When they went inside, they saw Matt in the waiting area. "Matt," Elisa called out.

He stood up looking a nervous wreck. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Is something wrong?" Elisa asked concern growing.

"Yes…with me," he said. Elisa had to laugh softly. "It's not funny," Matt defended.

She waved her hand. "I know. It's okay to be nervous. You do have to calm down though. Sara needs you to be strong for her. She is going to need you during this."

Matt seemed to calm down. "Thank you," he said.

"You're welcome," she said smiling. Matt pulled himself together and motioned for them to follow him.

They arrived to Sara's room and Matt walked in first. "Sweetheart, Jason and Elisa are here."

She looked at them. "Hi," she said softly."

"Hey Sara. We won't stay long. Is there anything we can do?" Elisa asked.

"You want to help me deliver this baby now so I can go home."

Elisa smiled. "Sorry. Blame Matt for getting you into this," she joked.

"I do," Sara said innocently. Matt rolled his eyes. "While we have you two here, we wanted to ask you something. How would you feel if we used Jessica for Rebecca's middle name? We feel we should honor our goddaughter."

Elisa gave a weak smile. "That's so thoughtful of you." She looked at Jason who nodded yes.

"You should do it," Jason said.

"Rebecca Jessica Bluestone," Elisa whispered. She looked at them with unshed tears. "I like the sound of that."

Sara wiped tears from her face. "Thank you for allowing us to do that." Suddenly a wave of pain hit Sara and Matt rushed forward to grip her hand. The pain passed and Sara leaned back. Not five minutes later, another contraction hit.

Matt pushed the alert button and a nurse came. She told Elisa and Jason they had to leave. They waved at Sara and left. They waited in the waiting room. Elisa grabbed Jason's hand. "I guess this would have been us," she whispered.

He kissed her hand. "We'll get that chance one day," he said.

Elisa sighed quietly. "I'm scared to try again honestly. I just don't want us to go through the same thing as we did with Jessica," she admitted.

He tilted her chin up so he was looking into those brown eyes he loved so much. "What happened was unfortunate. I'm sure when the times comes, this pregnancy will go smoothly." She nodded.

"I really like seeing you pregnant. You never looked more beautiful," he said trying to lighten the mood. She snorted.

"Remember that when the cravings come back and I send you out to get me ice cream."

He kissed her forehead. "I look forward to it," he said.

They waited another hour before Matt came out with a huge smile on his face. Elisa and Jason got out of their chairs. "She's beautiful," he beamed. He led them to the room and they all looked at Sara holding her baby.

"She's so precious," Elisa said quietly.

"Would you like to hold her?" Sara asked. Elisa nodded her head. Sara placed Rebecca in her arms. "Hi there. I'm Elisa and I'm your godmother."

Jason looked at Elisa cradling her. He smiled at the fact that she was natural. He looked at Matt. "Congratulations."

"Thank you," he responded. Jason and Elisa left afterwards leaving the happy couple to enjoy their daughter.
