Chapter 56 Comatose

• Sebastian
• It has been almost 2 weeks since Elena’s accident, and she still has not woken up. Her MRI scan this morning showed the swelling on her brain having gone down, so now it was technically a waiting game. She was breathing on her own now at least and has shown signs of early responses to light and touch. But that was about it. My son, who I haven’t named yet but who the nurses have started calling Lucky, has left his incubation chamber and I finally got to hold him. There is no other feeling than that of holding your child for the first time. The absolute love and adoration I felt just multiplied - Elena and my love created this. This precious little boy was ours.
• “How is my son doing today?” Isaac’s cheery voice follows his boisterous entry into the hospital room. He leans in to give me a hug and I chuckle and shake my head as I usually do when I see him. He was such an odd yet refreshing person to be around. The complete mirror of Elena in every way but gender; I think that’s why I thought of him as my little brother. I could tell that he cared dearly for my Elena and would rather die than see harm come to her. “He’s doing well today, just had his bottle and burps, now he’s passed out.” I say as we look down at the sleeping miracle. Isaac sighs, “Elena is going to wallop me for having met her child first,” he says with a laugh and I couldn’t agree more! “Well, I think she will forgive us this time.” I say and see a wistful smile on his face as he looks towards her bed.
