The Sister (2) - Chapter 9
An hour later, Marissa walked over to Paul and sat down by him, she said, "You know Alex is going to be okay. She's one of the toughest girls I know.she maybe be soft from being pregnant, but when it comes to life, she fights for it. You already know she's going to fight for that baby, she's been dying to be a mother.and now that she's so close she's not about to let anyone take it away from her." Paul said, "Yea, but even at the cost of her own life?"
Marissa said, "Of course.Alex wouldn't have it any other way. You know that." Paul said, "No.what I know is.is my wife and baby's lives are in jeopardy right now, and I feel so helpless, I can't do anything to help.I mean if it was against someone I could beat their ass for them, but this is different, this isn't someone.it's something.it's Alex's body.the doctor said we might have problems trying to get her pregnant and keeping her pregnant, because of all the chemo she endured during the cancer scare."
Marissa said, "Let me ask you something.if you lost the baby.yes it would be hard on both of you.but would you love her any less?" Paul said, "Of course not.she's my wife.I love her.she completes everything about me.all the loose ends I felt I had before I had her in my life, all went out the door after that first kiss we had. It was like I didn't have a problem in the world.but if I was to lose her I honestly don't know what I'd do.I don't even know if I could go on with my life."
Marissa said, "All you can do is pray.I don't know if you pray.but I would suggest you try."
Paul said, "Marissa I pray.I pray everyday that I never do anything stupid to lose my wonderful wife.I pray for a healthy family.I pray every night I wrestling that I go down to that ring and beat who ever is standing in it without hurting myself.I pray I come back from the ring without my neck being broken or being paralyzed so my wife doesn't have to take care of me.I pray that when my kids grow up that don't have to see all the bad things that happen in the world.I also thank god for letting me met Alex.cause without her my life would have nothing in it. No one in my life knows more about me then Alex.not even my own mother."
Marissa said, "Listen, I know this is hard for you.but just sit here and think of all the great times you guys have had together.don't dwell on what's happening now.cause any minute now, that nurse is going to walk in here and say Mr. Levesque, you have a new baby whose just as strong and beautiful as your wife." Marissa got up to walk away when Paul said, "Riss, thanks." She smiled and said, "No problem." Paul sat there and started out the third floor window and endless thoughts raced through his head.
About 2 hours later.3 hours after they had taken me up to the OR.the nurse came into the waiting room and said, "Mr. Levesque." Paul jumped up to his feet and said, "Yes ma'am." She smiled and said, "I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on becoming a father of a beautiful baby boy. Your wife is doing fine.they have her in recovery right now, and you can see her in about an hour.your son is in an incubator in the Neonatal ICU, only because he's 2 months premature. Which means you can't exactly take him home until after 2 months or until he gets a little stronger."
Paul said, "How big is he?" She said, "I believe they said 4lbs and 9 ounces.and he's 16 inches long.he's not very big, but they said his lungs sound nice and strong. Dr. Malorka said, if he handles the next month really good, she might let you guys take him home early. You can go see your son if you'd like."
Paul said, "Uh.no I'll wait and see him with my wife.Just let me know when they have her in her room." The nurse said, "Okay, I will."
Stephanie ran over and said, "Well?" Paul smiled as big as possible and said, "It's a boy.I have a son.Alex is doing fine, we can see her in an hour, she's in recovery.they have the baby in the Neonatal ICU cause he's a preme. Other then that every thing is fine."
An hour later, Marissa walked over to Paul and sat down by him, she said, "You know Alex is going to be okay.
