Albert Honestly felt a little angered at Rachel's response. He assumed after the delivery she'd be oh so thankful for the survival of her and the child inside her. Okay maybe Albert was being selfish. He did expect Rachel to be a little more happy than she was. Albert had no idea having future children meant that much to her. If he did he would've tried to save her uterus. But if he did try she could've bled out and died. So either way Albert knew he would've had to take her uterus. Deep Down inside if he was honest with himself Albert felt more hurt than anything. Hurt that Rachel thought because biological children were no longer an option her. Her days of welcoming a new family member were over. Albert was proud to be adopted.

But here they were three days after the birth and Rachel seem anything but happy to be bottle feeding her newborn son. The son who didn't have a very good chance of surviving.

Albert wasn't comfortable with sending Rachel home. So Willie and Mr. Olsen brought a bed , and crib into the spare bedroom of Albert's living corners. And a room was made for Rachel. The bed and crib were pushed together and the bars were down on the side that faced Rachel's bed. So Rachel could easily get her to her son. Willie and the kids still lived at their house. But they came by to see the baby.

On the fourth night Albert went to say goodnight to Rachel and to check her incision like he'd done every night. On that night though he found Rachel crying uncontrollably. Albert didn't want to cross any lines so he simply called Rachel's name. And she made direct eye contact with him. A Guilty look was shown upon her face.

"Oh Albert, I am not in pain. Just sad . .. " Rachel stated.

"Glad you aren't in pain that would've been my question" Albert replied.

"I am sorry I feel the way I do. I held much hope in having more children , " Rachel responded through sobs.

"You are extremely blessed to have your son. You know Rachel I may be overstepping but adoption is a wonderful option for someone who can't anymore biological children, " He stated

"I knew you'd say that eventually. But I am not sure I could love a child that isn't really mine , "

Albert didn't say another word. Even though the response hurt him greatly. He checked Rachel's incision and the baby. And said goodnight to them.

The baby cried a few hours later. Albert made a bottle and brought it up to Rachel. Usually after the first feed Albert went to sleep. But this time he didn't he just stared at the ceiling pondering what Rachel said. "Isn't really mine." Rachel should've known saying those words to a person who was parentless until the age of 10 would've hurt. As the morning drew near he finally prayed that god would change Rachel's heart.

Even though he didn't sleep much Albert got ready for the day in a decent mood. During his morning routine exam of the baby he woke Rachel. She turned over yawned and faced Albert.

"I am so sorry I shouldn't have made the comment about adoption to you," Rachel stated

Albert was thrilled that she realized the comment hurt he replied in a composed manner.

"I accept your apology, If I weren't have been adopted myself the comment wouldn't have hurt,"

"I know, I saw it from your point of view," Rachel stated.

That night Wille brought leftovers from the diner. And the family ate in Rachel's room. Albert was invited to join them. Willie nor his family had any idea of the comment Rachel had made to Albert the night before. That was okay, he had no problem enjoying a meal with Willie's family. When they finished the meal a typical after dinner conversation took over.

"So what did you name my baby brother ?" Willie's son Andrew stated

"Well quite honestly Andrew he doesn't have a name," Rachel replied

"Name Him after Albert. You haven't told me much. But I know he helped my mom and baby brother,"

Albert looked to Willie and Rachel and the show of emotion came across their faces. They joined hands. And looked lovingly at their two children. Anna and Andrew looked with concern because of the sudden stillness of the moment.

"Andrew and Anna the truth is, Albert saved the life of your mother and new sibling ," Willie replied with a few tears emerging.

"It makes all the more sense Pa. I believe god let Albert live so he could save my Ma and Baby brother," Anna stated like she was simply wanting a piece of candy.

Willie and Rachel looked at each other for a few seconds than they slowly looked upward. Finally they looked at Albert.

"Hello… Pa and Ma…" Andrew stated with a giggle.

"It's not a horrible idea Willie." Rachel stated with a smile

"Our son gets his brains from you, our daughter gets her beauty from you." Willie replies

"Our son is handsome like you." Rachel remarks in a flirty tone.

Willie leans forward and places his hands on Rachel's face and slowly kisses her.

"Eww." Albert shrieked

Willie playfully slapped Albert on the shoulder.

"Ma always said she wanted a big family. I can't wait for the next one." Anna stated in a dreamlike tone.

Rachel stared at her precious daughter and gently took her hands. Albert saw a tear escape from her eye before she spoke the first word.

"Albert did save my life, he saved the life of your brother." Rachel's voice started cracking.

Willie gently put his forehead on Rachel's shoulder. When Rachel began to weep. Willie fully embraced her. And they shared a long hug. A few minutes passed and when Willie felt Rachel would be okay. He leaned back against the headboard and faced the children.

"A problem took place and Albert had to remove a part of your mothers body that prevents her from having babies. She will be just fine. She just won't have anymore babies." Willie stated in a shaky tone.

Willie's teeth and body appeared clenched. Almost as if he was bracing himself the mountain of emotions that would ensue from his children at this announcement. Instead the response of the children gave all three adults the shock of their life.

"But you could adopt." Anna spoke with confidence oozing from her tone

Willie and Rachel were silent. I think they were more shocked that their child had more faith than the statement.

"Anna of Course they could adopt." Albert replied

Albert took Anna and Andrew down stairs for some ice cream. He had a hour long conversation with the kids about school, homework, and most importantly what they were going to teach their new baby brother. Once they all washed up from the ice cream they went back upstairs to the room were Rachel and Willie remained.

Anna and Andrew both looked in awe when they discovered their Pa was holding their baby brother in the bend of his right elbow. Willie slowly turned the baby so he could face his siblings in front of him. Willie and Rachel looked at each other with a smile and nod.

Then they both announced the baby's name.

"Anna, Andrew, and Albert we would like to introduce you to… " Willie stated

"Please say hello to Emanuel Albert Olsen." Rachel continued with a new light in her eyes.

After the five of them exchanged hugs of congratulations and pure excitement. Albert stated one last thing with tears streaming down his face. "That is a name full of truth because if not for god I couldn't have done it."
