I don’t know what to say to him.

“Bro. Sorry for your loss,” I croak, looking at him.

“Thanks,” Iceman says, leaning forward, cradling his head in his hands.

Fuck!

I look at the round-the-clock on the wall, looking at the red army tick away the seconds, the minutes driving me insane.

Finally, the side door opens, and a doctor walks out, holding a clipboard.

“Mr. Stone,” the Doctor calls out, looking around the room.

“Yeah,” I respond, pushing off the wall. I walk over to him, fisting my hands. My entire body is fucking wound uptight.

“I’m Doctor Garcia, the car accident caused your wife to go into labor, and we had to do a c-section. Your wife and the baby are doing well. “Congratulations, you have a new baby boy,” Doctor Garcia says, furrowing his forehead.

“Fuck! I need to see them,” I say, crossing my arms and inhaling deeply.

“Mr. Stone, she’s in recovery; you will be able to see them soon,” Doctor Garcia says, nodding.

“Right, fuckingtastic. Thanks,” I croak, my throat fucking close up.

“You’re welcome,” Doctor Garcia says, nodding. He walks away and disappears behind the fucking doors.

I want to run after him!

Fuck!

I pace around the waiting room, running my fingers through my short hair.

I fucking can’t wait to see my Baby girl and baby boy!

Fuck!

I have a boy!

Iceman walks over, watching me pace.

“Hey bro, congratulations,” Iceman says, nodding.

I stop; I look at him feeling happy and sad for him.

“Thanks, bro,” I say, grinding my molars.

The nurse walks out of the damn special doors.

“Mr. Smith,” she calls out, looking at us.

“Yes,” Iceman pushes off the chair, walking over to her.

“Your wife is in her room. You can see her,” the nurse says.

“Thanks,” Iceman says, following the nurse through those special fucking doors.

I stare at the doors waiting for the fucking nurse to come out to get me.

Fuck!
