I have been waiting on pins and needles for my baby boy’s surgery to be over. Penny, the doctor’s nurse, has come out multiple times to give us updates. Every time the surgical waiting room door opens, I look up to see if it’s Penny. I get agitated when it’s not her, but Henry and Papi calm me down. They have been a godsend keeping me busy with Henry and his crazy dating stories. I know Papi doesn’t want to know about Henry’s sex life. My phone rings, and it’s my cousin Samantha on facetime. I answer it quickly and see my baby girl on the screen. She has been crying, and it breaks my heart.

“My love,” I say, getting choked up.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XBQ6nyH7m
“Mommy, I want you.” She cries. “I want to see brudder.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxqHD12Uvc
“I know you want to see your brother, but he is getting his heart fixed.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX9ZWWcIv8
“Mommy!” she cries. “I’m scared. I don’t want to go Mimis here. I want you.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN39qVG7Zd
“Honey, you need to sleep there just for tonight. Papa will pick you up tomorrow.” I can’t deal with this. She has never been away from Noah or me since they were born. “Can I talk to Tia Samantha?”

“I’m so sorry, Veah, she hasn’t stopped crying since we came home. She’s just lying on the carpet crying. I offered her pizza and ice cream, but she won’t eat.” She sighs. The waiting room door opens, and Anthony comes in, making my heart beat faster. It makes me freak out because it has only been Penny to give us updates. “Samantha, I’ll call you back. Noah’s nurse just walked in.”

“Anthony, please tell me he’s okay,” I start to cry and shake.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoZqidERWJ
“Neveah, he’s okay. Surgery just finished, and he’s going to ICU right now.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuGCH8MpjE
“Thank God, how did the surgery go?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtcCrc3yqa
“I’m not going to lie; Noah is okay now, but we did have a scary moment, but he pulled through just fine.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7OlGKduJA
“What happened?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq6jpgYTn9
“His heart had trouble after being taken off of bypass. Dr. Orzoco was amazing there and got his heart beating again by doing heart massages. He will be sitting in the ICU overnight to keep an eye on him.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog5S5Uo4Jc
“He’s doing that himself? Doesn’t he have staff to do that for him?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfcKNVLBTX
“Yes, but his staff told me he sits with all the high-risk cases. I was in awe in there. Noah is in great hands.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1nUYtJlAP
“When can I see him?” I ask.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ugWK4RFC0
“Since he is just out of surgery, the ICU would like family to wait to come up.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYLNnlEWAR
“How long?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDHUwNu4AN
“You know what, let me check with Dr. Orozco, and I’ll see if you can see him tonight for a few minutes,” Anthony says, and I launch myself at him and hug the hell out of him, causing him to grunt.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6QgZzX0VC
“Thank you, Anthony. Tell Dr. Orozco I said thank you as well.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY1waL1vvw
“It’s was our pleasure. You’ll get to talk to him tomorrow. He’ll go over the next steps with you. Give me a moment to get some food, and I’ll come back.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZGoRaYzlF
“No, go eat and rest. I’ll be waiting for you here.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM5C5SmDL0
“You should eat as well, Neveah. I’m almost certain that you haven’t eaten anything.” Anthony says.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmrEOCrBBb
“And you would be right,” I laugh. “I’ll grab something to eat.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3EFO6YDz
“I’ll make sure she eats,” Henry says. “Thank you for taking care of my bestie Noah. I appreciate it very much.”Anthony nods and walks out the door. “Okay bitch, what do you want to eat?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UCO6G1V1E
“Anything, everything. Sushi?” I smile.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8K7ZRaDE
“You’re such a brat, but okay, I’ll get you sushi. I have a friend in the area. I’ll call him and ask him what the best spot to get sushi this late.”

“Mija, do you want me to go be with Norah?” Papi asks.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyj9GxWkBj
“Would you?” I ask.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QLtzZmgGW
“Of course, I would. Now that I know Noah is out of surgery, I can leave. I will come back in the morning.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIdDU0uN3j
“Thank you, Papi. I love you so much.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxsnCVb3yT
“Love you more, Mi Vida. See you in the morning.”

I finally let myself take a deep breath and relax for a bit. I’m alone in the waiting room, so I turn on the TV and find they have Netflix, and I get excited. I log into my account and find the last episode of Jane the Virgin I watched last night. I love this show, and it gives me all the feels. I use the vending machine and grab a coke and chips because I’m starving and can’t wait for Henry to come back. The door opens as I put a chip into my mouth.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh3Z7mVGH7
“Bitch, you couldn’t wait for me to bring you food.” Henry laughs.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjQSXgRZQG
“Sorry, I was starving. Where is the Sushi?”
“It’s in the hallway. My friend works at the hospital, and I wanted you to meet him.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMHEWHHmB7
“Okay, I would love to meet him.” I look at Henry and see a blush come over his cheeks. “Why, Henry Vasquez, are you blushing?” I laugh. He playfully hits my shoulder.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaoUpKXtHS
“Bitch, shut your face, let me grab him.” Henry laughs. He comes back into the room, and my heart falls into the pit of my stomach. I must look like I’ve seen a ghost. “Neveah, what’s wrong?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqJzv7scly
“You ain’t gonna slap me in the face again, are you?” he says. I never thought I’d see his face again, yet here he stands.
