Those Baby Blues

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"There were complications." She told him in a steady voice, without a hint of compassion as she watched her father practically fall to the floor.
"Oh gosh, that's not what I meant, it's my first week. What I meant to say was your wife had complications and she will have to be monitored for the next day or two but her and your son made it out of the emergency surgery as well as could be expected." The woman rushed out, fumbling over her words as she looked down at the man kneeling in front of her ready to weep.
"Really?" Her father asked; hope leaking into his voice as he gazed up at the doctor like she was an angel.
"Yes, you can come back with me if you want. Your wife is resting and still in the recovery bay but you can go and meet your son if you would like to follow me." She smiled slightly at him, as he got off his knees and hugged her before he turned around with a smile that could light up the darkest corner of the world.
"Go meet your son Hugh; we'll all be here waiting." Both her uncles said each clapping him on a shoulder before they turned him around and with a soft push edged him towards the door where the relieved, but tired surgeon stood holding the door open.
After her dad was out of sight, her family members all gave a sigh of relief before they all dug into the slightly greasy paper bags stuffed full of burgers and shakes.
"So my mom and brother are okay? She asked aloud, as she unwrapped her burger.
"For now." Uncle Piney told her before he bit into his double patty burger with two slices of Swiss cheese and extra pickles.
Content with his answer she followed his lead and dug into her food, her stomach officially announcing its hungry, now that the worry was out of the way.

After she had finished her food, stole three of Opie's last five remaining fries while Tommy distracted him and went to the bathroom to wash her hands her dad returned to the waiting area with an infectious smile on his face.
"Does the newest future member of SAMCRO look like he can handle a ride?" Bobby asked jokingly as soon as he saw her father.
He daddy beamed with pride at the thought, "Yes, but don't you dare let Kat know I said so." He said between chuckles as he thought of his irate wife telling him exactly that that no son of his would ever ride.
"Come on princess; let's go say hi to your mom and brother." He said holding out his hand for her all the while thanking his friends and Gemma for sticking around.
As they headed out of the double doors, her daddy called back to her Aunt asking if she would mind picking up a few of Kat's things along with Tara's. At her aunt's nod of acceptance they turned away and skipped down the hall, much to the annoyance of the few nurses who passed them.
Before they went and saw her mother, daddy took her to a large window that looked into a room where all the babies were taken after birth.
"Which one is he daddy?" She asked, looking up at him after scanning every clear basket she could see, even though all she saw was their little feet or the end of a blanket.
"Actually your brother isn't in one of these baskets, do you see that door over there?" He asked her, pointing over at the side door that had nurses dressed in big gowns that went in and out. At her nod he continued on, "Well your brother was born a little bit early, like Tommy but not as early, and so they keep him in there so that he can get lots of attention and rest. We'll go see him as soon as a nurse comes out and gets us." He explained to her just as a nurse in a gown, and a mask hanging loosely off her face came out and let them in.
"Are you here for baby Knowles?" the petite blonde asked her father as she typed in her passcode and it unlocked with a buzz.
"That's my brother." She answered excitedly before she followed the lady into the baby room.
"You must be so excited to be a big sister. Are you ready to meet him?" She asked her, walking passed all the other squealing, gurgling infants.
She nodded her head enthusiastically, as she looked around at all the different babies of Charming and she couldn't help but notice how tiny they were.
"Okay before we can go in and see him, we have to put on this gown and this mask here," the lady who she learned was named Linda by a passing nursing told her drawing her attention back as they came to a stop in front of the closed door.
Shaking her head, she held out her hands like a member of the undead as her daddy put it on her and tied it nice and tight in the back.
"Okay, now just put this mask over your mouth and the strings around your ears so it doesn't fall off. We wouldn't want to take the chance of your brother or any other baby getting sick." She said as the lady secured the mask after she had attempted to put it on twice.
"Now we have one more thing we have to do before we go see him, we need to wash our hands with this stuff right here," She said pointing at the dispenser full of liquid hanging by the door.
"What is that?" She asked curiously as her dad squirted some of the liquid on his hands.
"This is disinfectant, it makes any germs on your hands disappear, you won't be touching your brother right now but it's just a precaution. Here-" Linda told her as she gave her enough to coat both hands and a little more so she rubbed it on her wrists. Can't have my brother getting a cold she thought as the smell of the disinfectant made her nose itch.

As soon as the door opened she noticed that this room was a lot different than the other room. This room wasn't quiet but it wasn't filled with gurgles or squeals but with soft beeps and timed bursts of forced air. She noticed the three babies each kept in a small clear box, and she wondered briefly how that could be healthy. Considering her mother always said if she was sick a bit of fresh air and sunshine would always do the trick.
She noticed that the first two incubators, as she found out they were called were obscured by crying parents or busy people shouting terms she couldn't understand. Focusing her sights on the incubator on the far left of the room she ran over, or rather tried to run as her daddy told her sternly she needed to be slow and not get in anyone's way. Adjusting her speed she walked 'fast' bypassing a retreating mother, sobbing into her hands before she made it over to the incubator that held her little brother. Looking into the box she saw him faced towards her with cords running all over his body and two little cords stuck in his nose. He looks so scared she thought as she brought her hand up to rest on the container.
"It's okay little brother you don't need to be scared. I'm here and I'll make sure no one hurts you. When you get out of there I'll introduce you to Opie and Jax and Tommy and I'll read you stories." She whispered to the outside of the incubator, causing it to fog up.
"Introducing yourself to your brother princess?" Daddy asked her as he ran a hand over her hair.
"Yep, just letting him know not be scared," She told her dad before turning back to her brother, "Ain't that right-" She stopped as she looked at him, brow furrowed in concentration.
"What ya thinkin' about?" Her daddy asked her.
She turned attention away from her brother and gazed up at her dad, "I was just thinking, what is his name? After all I don't think Baby Knowles is a good name for a boy." She told her father before making a face at the idea of calling him 'baby'.
"You are right. Even if he had all of SAMCRO backing him, I doubt he would survive the playground." Her father agreed, chuckling softly at the thought.
"So what's his name?" She asked looking between her brother and father.
Her father looked back at her brother, entangled in wires of all colors. They stood there silently for a few moments or at least as many times as the ventilator decompressed twelve times.
"Your mother and I had it narrowed down to three names, but we haven't settled on one yet." He finally spoke, his voice soft and dream-like. She looked back up at her daddy and realized for the first time how tired he looked, probably was. After all he hadn't eaten anything all day and he worried about her yet unnamed brother and mommy.
"Well if you and mommy haven't chosen, can I pick it?" She asked finally voice her idea. Giddy at the thought of naming something that wasn't a goldfish. Her mind raced with possibilities as she thought of all the boy names she knew.
Wilbur-No he isn't chubby, and David Hale would make fun of him at school.
Charlie-That might work, he never gives up and he eventually inherits the factory
Collin-That's a good name. He seemed like a good character in the book
Adam-The beast's real name was Adam. I think he would make a good Adam.
Oh what about Michelangelo, that's Tommy's favorite Ninja turtle.
Every name she thought of she added it to the ever growing pile.
"Tara, Tara, I think it might be past your bedtime" Her daddy told her, pulling her out of her thoughts.
"Huh?" She asked, blinking up at her dad who was chuckling lightly at her.
"I said, we will see. Come on Sugar, let's go get you home." He said taking her hand and walking away from her brother, thanking the nurse from earlier before exiting out of both doors and walking back toward everyone waiting.

"What were the names you and mommy couldn't decide on?" She asked as they turned the last corner before the waiting area came into sight.
"Well your mother really wanted the name Rhett, and I wanted Joshua and your uncles decided they got a vote, so they threw in Matthew, or was it Daniel?" He told her, as they pushed open the door to find it all but empty save for Uncle Piney and Uncle John, Aunt Gemma and the boys.
"Everyone decide to clear out?" Her dad whispered as they got closer to the adults and the half-asleep boys.
"Yeah, figured they couldn't do anything else here and we would know more by morning." Uncle John said, rubbing a hand down his face. "How's your boy doing?" He tacked on.
"Yeah" Hugh said nodding his head, He's doing well. The doctors have him on a ventilator for a bit because his lungs are a bit underdeveloped and he is really small but no lasting damages, they don't think. Also thanks for staying man, and Piney thank you for looking after Tara and getting her to the hospital." Her dad said before bending down to kiss her on the forehead.
"You're gonna go home with Aunt Gemma and Uncle John, and tomorrow when you wake-up you can come right back here and see mom, Okay?" He told her, waiting until she nodded her head before he thanked Gemma and headed back the way he had come.
"Well shall we?" Her Uncle John asked her as he held out his hand for her.
Before she could answer a yawn tore through her mouth.
"I think you got your answer." Uncle Piney chuckled before he lightly woke up Opie, and by 'woke up' he shook him awake and mentioned something about a glass of warm chocolate milk as soon as they drove home.
"Being a big sister is exhausting huh?" Her Uncle John asked rhetorically before he helped wake up Jax, in a much similar way as Opie.
After rounding up the staggering sleeping children, her family, by choice took her home.
