Chapter Eighty FourStefan's POVI pressed my hands against the incubator glass trembling.The pain had unpleasant warmth to it.The wait of holding my son in my arms was giving me a burning pain .Tears spilled down my face as I looked at him.It was a profound deep love never to be replaced.This is the greatest love one could ever feel.He had a chest lead on his chest, a pulse oximetry on his finger, an IV on his hand and an oxygen hood placed over his head.Not for a moment did he cry, it seems he was strong as his mother."Son, I can't wait to hold you in my arms.Your mother loves you so much too.Be strong for us my baby.We love you."Nina's POVOne week laterEthan you are my sun, moon and all of my stars.Holding a baby in your arms is one of life's greatest pleasure.I wanted to drink that moment.The moment with my son, Ethan Valedram.His looks were so perfect and his smile divine.I can't believe I carried him in my arms
Chapter Eighty ThreeStefan's POVI could barely feel my fingers from the massage I was from giving Nina.It had become a habit of mine to massage and bathe her since she could barely even reach her knees.

She is more pale, more weaker but full of enthusiasm to meet her beloved son and hold him in his arms.The persisting headaches, the unbearable abdominal pains, the nausea and vomiting were nothing when it came to this fearless mother to be.Never look down on mother's my friends.But if it was possible for a man to carry a child inside him then I would have been more than willing to and take the pain from herAfter fearing God, fear mothers.They can be very dangerous and persisting when it comes to their children.

I was about to get out of bed when I heard footsteps towards the door.That must be Stefan,even thou I wasn't angry at him anymore I won't show it .Let him suffer for a while.I pulled the bedsheet over my head and pretended to be fast asleep when I felt a soft pat on my shoulder."Go away Stefan.I said I don't want to see you. "I cussed out. There was no reply."Stefan I know you are there.Just leave or I push you out.""Excuse me madam,sir Stefan sent me to bring you some toast and baby shake."
