Newborn

"William!" Catherine barked and sat next to the bed, holding my hand.

"Come in," I heard Aiden say, and looked up at the man who just came in. It was the same man who was screaming for help, the father of the child. He went to the bed and knelt down.

"Thank you very much… you… you saved my son…"

I easily turned my head in his direction. The fog before my eyes partially receded, and I could see something was hidden in his hands beside the small plaid. I reached out, pushing it away. There was a nice little baby boy inside it. I smiled and dropped my head back onto Aiden's muscled chest, feeling a tear flowing down my cheek. Aiden's fingers touched my cheek and removed a tear.

"I'm very glad your son is fine."

"We don't know how you did it, but… you did a miracle…"

I smiled and suddenly looked at my hands. They were rewound with bandages.

"Let it be my secret for now…"

The man looked at me, and smiled, handing me the baby.
