When Estella heard her newborn child, let out a small but powerful cry, shortly after

the doctor had pulled him from her womb, she then knew that all was right with the world.

The umbilical cord was cut, the shivering baby boy was cleaned off and swaddled in a comfy

hospital issued baby blanket and was placed into her waiting arms.

miracle and kisses him gently on the forehead.

She whispers in his tiny ear and places the little bundle upon her chest.

She could feel his little heart pumping furiously.

She was in love instantly, a love unlike any she had ever felt.

Fred paces nervously in the waiting room, wearing a path into the tiled floor of the hospital.

He looks at his watch, with time seeming to stand still, he thinks to himself, what

is taking so long?

Fred's parents sitting calmly along with him in the waiting room, can sense their sons

angst, and they comfort him, advising him, these things take time, everything is fine.

Finally, the double doors of the maternity ward open, and the doctor approaches the waiting

family.

He announces to all of them, congratulations, your wife is fine and you have a healthy, beautiful

baby boy.

Fred's eyes well up with tears and he is immediately filled with feelings of great pride and joy.

He grabs both of his parents and pulls them in towards himself, wrapping his arms around

the both.
