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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvtNBlysCJ
“Mommy, I want you.” She cries. “I want to see brudder.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmstibTuKan
“I know you want to see your brother, but he is getting his heart fixed.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EWIi7cvRg
“Mommy!” she cries. “I’m scared. I don’t want to go Mimis here. I want you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPzPfEIIoq
“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?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCDscAh8A7
“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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xXl3LIpWJ
“Neveah, he’s okay. Surgery just finished, and he’s going to ICU right now.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mfndUYh4
“Thank God, how did the surgery go?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5pPIPCabX
“I’m not going to lie; Noah is okay now, but we did have a scary moment, but he pulled through just fine.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYN8nTfzs7
“What happened?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ho6iq9zav
“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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzJh7zsYwG
“He’s doing that himself? Doesn’t he have staff to do that for him?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALrxWtGULh
“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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SPo7Sb4bs
“When can I see him?” I ask.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykyAtMf8c
“Since he is just out of surgery, the ICU would like family to wait to come up.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnPcsXHbvG
“How long?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6ZHzM6wXY
“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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7w5zFaH9G
“Thank you, Anthony. Tell Dr. Orozco I said thank you as well.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOcCxukxRe
“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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD4rtjZFNW
“No, go eat and rest. I’ll be waiting for you here.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ1CuCVD9G
“You should eat as well, Neveah. I’m almost certain that you haven’t eaten anything.” Anthony says.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK58D3CpKfk
“And you would be right,” I laugh. “I’ll grab something to eat.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXGASKysUY
“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?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonfCxb2Cy2
“Anything, everything. Sushi?” I smile.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr4YNCCMZ9
“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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY6tsYzBjX
“Mija, do you want me to go be with Norah?” Papi asks.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxbdIguTaa
“Would you?” I ask.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01MLHDc2HI
“Of course, I would. Now that I know Noah is out of surgery, I can leave. I will come back in the morning.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiusUZhgE46
“Thank you, Papi. I love you so much.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnLwiaNIez
“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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4vMQs8GE4
“Bitch, you couldn’t wait for me to bring you food.” Henry laughs.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxQtPzgEBc
“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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK0GPfax7O
“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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrArdhED7I
“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?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m2rW5FQbC
“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.
