When Jackie eventually looked up, she couldn't believe who she saw standing in front of her. She tried to remember everything and why was she here, but she couldn't. Standing in front of her was her husband and next to her was her new-born son. She didn't remember the name that her husband wanted her to name for the child. She still remembered when the doctors brought her on the ambulance, and her husband followed it. After getting on the ambulance, Jackie felt sleepy. She laid down the chair and then everything turned black.
" Jackie, do you remember what had happened? Look like you've forgotten everything," smiled her husband.
" How could I forget my most meaningful minute of my life?", Jackie replied with a cheerful smile.
" I am happy that your memory is still okay. Please take a rest."
He went out of the room, leaving Jackie with her son. The mother watched her son sleeping. He had white, smooth skin and red lips. His hair was like silk. Jackie didn't know that her husband had returned again with a bottle of milk in his hand.
" Is he lovely?", asked her husband when Jackie looked up again.
" Of course he is. I just want him to be a good person," answered Jackie emotionally. Tears were now falling on the couple's cheek.
" That's what I wish too. I do hope so," he said, sitting on the patient's bed.
" I don't think if he is hungry now," said Jackie, putting the bottle of the milk on the table next to her bed.
" But you must think of the time," her husband looked at the clock, " I need to go."
" I think you will stay here until noon," exclaimed Jackie, full of surprise.
" But I need to go to work now, or else my boss will fire me," replied her husband, standing up. He threw a bright smile at his wife, took his handbag and got out of the room.
Jackie's mother-in-law, her husband's mother, had been waiting for hours outside the room. When she saw her son going out, she asked: " How about the child?"
" He is very adorable, mother," replied Jackie's husband. The wet tears was beginning to soak the happy grandmother's eyes.
A nurse wearing white blouse, a white mask and had blue eyes neared the room, taking with her some medicines and a list of new-born children's names. " You can visit your daughter-in-law now," announced the nurse.
" Thank you," replied Jackie's mother-in-law.
She opened the door and without a greeting, ran to the bed, hugged her daughter-in-law and her grandson.
Meanwhile, Jackie's husband wasn't going to work yet. He stood at the door, and like his mother and wife, tears were falling from his eyes…
