The baby had been born two days ago. He was in an incubator. They hadn't picked a name yet so he was temporarily known as baby Runnels. Cameron was being discharged from the hospital today she had no intention of leaving. She intended on staying with the baby until he was discharged, whenever that happened to be. Cameron was in her hospital room. The nurse brought her discharge papers and she signed them. She went to the NICU. Every time she saw the baby it broke her heart to see all the tubes hooked to him. No one had even held him yet.

"Hi sweetie pie." She said. "Well mommy has a clean bill of health." "Now we just have to wait for yours." The baby looked at her. He had Cody's eyes. "You have your daddy's beautiful eyes."

Cody came into the room holding a cup holder and two coffees. "Hi babe."

"Hi."

"Sorry I took so long." They were moving at glacier speed at the coffee shop.

"It's ok." They kissed. She took her coffee.

"Have you been discharged yet?"

"Yeah I just signed the papers."

"How's our little guy today?"

"Still the same."

"He'll be home with us before you know it."

"I hope so."

"He will."

"He seems ok but the doctor said anything could happen."

"I know but nothing has and nothing will." "He's only going to get better."

"I just feel like I've already failed him as a mother." "He's in that incubator helpless and I can't do a thing to make him better."

"Cameron you are a great mother." "Being here with him is all we can do right now."

"I just want to take him home."

"I know that's what I want to."

Michelle came down to visit for a few hours. A few hours after that Cameron and Cody were sitting there. Cameron yawned.

"Cameron go back to the hotel and get some rest." Cody said.

"No I'm fine."

"I know you want to stay with him but you need to take care of yourself to." "I'll stay with him."

"Alright." She went over to the incubator. "Sweetie pie, I'm gonna leave for a little while." "Daddy is going to stay with you." "I love you." She went back over to Cody. They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Cameron had been gone for about an hour. Dustin came in.

"Hey." He said.

"Hi."

"There he is." Dustin said going over to the incubator. "Hi." "Where's your mommy?"

"I made her go to the hotel and get some rest." "She was exhausted."

"How is he?"

"The same."

"How are you?"

"I'm being strong for Cameron but in reality, I'm as scared as she is." "I don't want anything to happen to him Dustin." "If something does I don't know what- He stopped put his head down and sniffled.

"Cody hey, it's ok." "I know it's hard but you're doing great."
