Epilogue
“Mom!”
“I’m here, sweetheart. Mommy’s here.”
“It hurts so much.” Crying and shushing.
“I know, baby, do you want me to get the doctor?”
“William should be back with him now. Mom, go find them. I need him here.”
Joyce left her daughter’s side, her instinct telling her they didn’t have much time. She saw William running down the hallway, theictorctor hard on his heels. “Is she..?”
Joyce reached out to squeeze his arm as he passed, “she’s holding on, but we don’t have much time. She can barely catch her breath.”
The doctor walked into the room and found Buffy standing next to the hospital bed, leaning over and griping the rails, huffing and blowing. “It took you long enough! I told you we didn’t have time for you to eat! William? Where are you?”
“Buffy, you need to get back in bed so I can help you.”
“I don’t want to lay down! I need to walk!”
“Sweetheart, let him help you. I think it’s time, but we won’t know unless he can check. Please, for me?”
Buffy grabbed his hand and squeezed it in a death grip when the next pain rolled over her body and down her legs. He felt her knees give out, caught her under her arm and helped her back onto the bed. The doctor pulled his stool close to its foot and announced, “Buffy, it’s time. Ready? On the count of three....”
Joyce reached over and grabbed her daughters hand and helped her sit up. William held the other. They all shouted encouragement as she strained and tried to not breathe. “Nine, ten. Good, Buffy. You’re doing wonderfully! Ready? Here’s comes another one.. Now! One, two..”
Buffy was crying with the pain. It seemed like every inch of her was on fire and that she was being ripped apart.
“I see a head! Relax, Mom. You’ve earned it. Let me get this shoulder... Right. Last time, now, I promise.”
William was holding her close to him, their tears mixing on their faces while Buffy pushed one lasme. me. She felt the baby slide out, and immediately felt lonely and empty. If possible, she cried harder at the sense of loss.
The doctor called out, “ten fingers and ten toes. And listen to her yell!” William laughed and knuckled away the tears from his eyes, then took the clamp from the nurse to assist in cutting the cord. “Oh, my sweet. Look what you’ve given me.”
The doctor placed a little bundle onto Buffy’s chest and she immediately covered the soft head with tender kisses. The lonely, empty feeling vanished. “Say hello to your little girl.”
Joyce excused herself to leave the new parents a moment by themself. Besides, there was a waiting room full of people wanting to hear if they should rush to get pink or blue balloons. The first person that ran to her was James, now almost as tall as his Nana. He looked up expectantly and heard, “it’s a girl!” James had had a feeling all along and pulled out a small pink box with a ribbon from his pocket. “Can I see them now?”
Joyce checked inside the room to make sure they were all clear, and the last thing she saw before the door closed was Buffy opening her hand to her son to share with him his new sister.
