When we got to the hospital, I knew at that point that there was a lot of waiting that would have to be done before she came. I was exhausted. There was a very small TV in the far corner of the waiting room that my dad put me in, while my step mom was in the Triage. About fifteen minutes later I saw someone signaling for me to come. At that point her IV was done and her hospital gown was on as well. At least we are making some sort of progress I thought. We had, had so many false alarms, but I guess that is common for first time moms. Everything they feel is alarming, so I've heard. My dad was in the room with a nurse that just by looking at her, I didn't like.
I saw a baby come down the hallway, there were nurses everywhere. It looked like a preemie. I felt bad considering that I was waiting for my overdue sister. I looked at the nurses name tag. Her mane was Precious. She put the bag of IV onto a stick with wheels. Thats what I called it at time. She was kind of rough. This is going smoothly, I thought. I could barely stand up.
A while later, they wheeled my step mom into Labor and Delivery. My dad said see you later, and sure enough, I saw him a lot later. I didn't want to take a nap because I didn't want to miss anything. About twelve hours later I was starting to get hopeless.
My dad came out at 3:10pm, one minute after Jada Qiana Di Bari was born. He came out crying. I dint remember the last time I saw him cry. There was one doctor who had wheeled Jada to where the waiting room was. When I saw her, I could feel what my dad was feeling. My heart pounding a few pulses faster, and my throat tightening. I started crying too.
This is my sister, the one I mentioned in this post.
