Maybe Baby Lite (75 page)

It was strange that the
woman didn’t want to see her daughter. She'd been adamant about not
disturbing her since she'd gone through a very complicated labor
and delivery. Young girls always think their labor and delivery is
complicated when it’s their first birth. Nurse Bradley chuckles to
herself. The mother’s chart mentioned no such complications when
she looked it up to see which baby she'd delivered.

Nurse Bradley should have
followed regulations and called Security when the petite woman
insisted she would not leave until she got to see her grandchild.
It was her first grandbaby, she said, and she wanted to see it.
Hell, there wasn’t any harm done. It took all of two minutes to
pick up the little pink swaddled baby girl and bring her over to
the window for her grandma to see. Grandma seemed especially
tickled to find out she had a granddaughter. She waved her hand to
the newborn baby girl, blowing her a kiss. She told her not to
worry, “Nana” would be back soon to see her.

Nurse Bradley picks up her
purse at the nurse’s station and walks over to the time clock. She
runs it through and then returns the card to its slot with the
others. She has been clocking in and out at this hospital for 23
years now. She presses the button for the elevator, waiting
patiently for the doors to open.

Nurse Bradley is startled
to see the same petite woman who'd visited the nursery earlier now
standing in the elevator. She gets on and pushes the button for
ground floor. Why is this woman still in the hospital? Nurse
Bradley pulls her sweater a bit tighter around her as the hair on
the back of her neck stands on end.
