Author's Note:
Chapter 53"NOOO!" Laura screamed as Vincent tried to calm her down.
"We've tried everything and I'm afraid there's nothing else that we can do. I'm so sorry Laura."
"Why! Why?" Laura asked as she fell into tears and broke down with heavy breathing.
1 day later…
"You're sick," Vincent said as he helped Laura get out of bed, "You've hardly eaten and slept."
"Vincent, my son needs me," Laura said with red eyes to Vincent.
"I know. I'm sorry." Vincent said.
"I just want to at least hold him once and tell him how much I love him before he goes to heaven."
Vincent kept silent.
"Help me up, okay?" she replied.
"Yeah." he said holding her up and then helping her walk to the other side of the room where the nurse was taking care of the baby.
"Can you give us a moment alone, please?" Vincent told the nurse.
"Sure, go ahead," she said silently.
Laura looked down into the little plastic crib and smiled at the sight of her son. He was so small but fragile. He looked so weak.
"Do you want me to stay?" Vincent asked.
Laura just nodded a yes.
"Hey," she said carefully picking it up, "You're the most beautiful baby I've ever seen." In tears she continued as his little eyes attempted to open. "I'm your mommy. I love you so much. No matter what's happening I'll always love you. You're my little angel. You know that?" There was only silence while Vincent behind her just stared looking nearly as shattered as her. "You must be in so much pain," Laura said referring to the pain medication they had gave him. "In the other side, you won't feel that. I wish that you could stay here with me but it seems like faith has worked in a different way. If you want to go, you can. At least I know you'll be safe. Just know that I love you so much that I was willing to do everything for you and you are deep and beautiful part of my life." She slowly leaned and kissed his forehead while she held on to his tiny hand. "I love you. I do. I really do." She then noticed how Vincent was standing behind her.
"Do you want to hold Alexander?"
"That's his name?" Vincent said with a weak smile and walking to her.
"Yeah. It's a good strong and classical name."
"Sure," he said as he took the baby in his arms.
"Hey," Vincent said, "I'm Vincent. You're so tiny. Just like you're mommy said, it's okay to go. Just be safe and take care and watch over her because she needs you. I promise to take good care of her. I wish when you got older we could play and stuff. Rest in peace," Vincent said giving it a quick kiss and lying it back in the bed.
Soon a doctor came in.
"I need to check on it."
"Okay," Laura replied as she stood back with Vincent to watch.
The nurse gave them a look and said, "It's heart is getting weaker." She then ran out of the room and yelled, "Dr. Rediger! Dr. McCartney!"
"Vincent…" Laura started.
"Shh…"
Vincent held her while she cried in silence and doctors and nurses from all over became to flood in until eventually the commotion began to stop and there was a dead and eerie silence in the air.
"Want me to do it?" Lily asked Kyle silently.
"I will," he assured walking to Laura and Vincent.
"Laura, I'm…"
"Is he…" Laura began to ask.
"Yeah. He's gone."
