A month had passed. Angel was still at the hospital. He was doing alright but he wasn't out of the woods yet. He was still in the incubator. Nobody was allowed to hold him. Sasha was sitting by Angel's incubator. Roman walked in.
"Hi." Sasha said.
"Hi."
"Look Angel, daddy's here."
"How's daddy's little boy?" He said looking at Angel. "Has there been any problems?"
"No they're still doing the hourly tests." "Everything's fine." "I just wish I could pick him up and hold him."
"We'll get to in time."
"I know."
"Sasha how long has it been since you slept?"
"I usually sleep here."
"Go home and get a few hours sleep."
"No."
"Sasha the nurses and doctor know what they're doing." "I'm gonna be here for awhile go home and get some sleep." "I'll come wake you in a few hours."
"Alright." She stood up. "Angel mommy's leaving for awhile but I'll be back." "I promise."
Sasha was having a bad dream. She was trashing in her sleep.
"No, not my baby!" "No!" She yelled.
"Sasha wake up." Roman said. Sasha shot up out of bed crying. Roman hugged her. "It's alright." "It was just a bad dream."
"Angel…
"Angel's fine baby." "I just saw him." "You're shaking." "It's ok." "Look at me." She looked at him. "It's ok." They kissed. She could feel his hands touching her bare back inside her shirt. He took off her shirt. For the next three hours they took comfort in each other.
Afterwards they were laying there.
"I love you Sasha." Roman said.
"I love you too."
