Ash, Arianna, and I sat there for 12 hours. We stayed in these funky green seats. Arianna had fallen asleep on Ash three hours ago. Her head on his chest, his head on hers. They were holding hands, fast asleep.

I didn’t sleep. I was too worried. I sat there, staring at the door.

Then, a tall nurse with short spiky hair walked up to me. “The baby’s here,” she said smiling. “A healthy girl.”

I leaned back, my heart pounding. I almost cried in relief. The nurse motioned me to the room. “Don’t you want to see your baby?”

I got up carefully. I walked through the double doors, and down the hallway. The nurse pointed to a door. Nervous, I walked through.

Hannah sat there in bed, her hair pulled back. She held our baby in her arms, smiling down at her. She looked up when she saw me. Her grin widened. I walked over and sat down in the chair next to her.

“She’s beautiful,” I whispered.

Hannah nodded. The baby squirmed in her arms. Then she opened her eyes. My heart skipped a beat. Hannah gasped. Staring at us were the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen. Hannah sighed in delight. “She looks just like you,” she whispered.

The baby wiggled, her hands in fists. “Want to hold her?” Hannah asked.

I looked up. Hannah was biting her lip, nervous. “No one else has held her yet, so…” This was a big step for Hannah.

I tentatively reached out. Hannah set the baby in my arms. I cradled the baby. She stared into my eyes. She gurgled, reaching up to grab my ear. I chuckled, my eyes welling in tears. “What are you going to name her?”

Hannah leaned closer to me. She smiled. “How about you decide.”

I almost started crying. She wanted me to name the baby. I sat there for a moment, thinking. “Kara,” I
whispered.  

Hannah smiled, nodding. Her eyes shined. “Such a pretty name. Kara. How about…Kara Rose?”

Kara Rose squirmed in my arms. Hannah placed her head on my shoulder, unaware of what she was doing. For one moment, we were a happy family.
