“Move, you idiot!”
My head snaps up as I step to the side, avoiding an elbow to my kidney,
and stare at the woman in scrubs who rushes past me. She’s running toward
a car that screeches to a halt a few feet in front of me in the middle of the
hospital parking lot.
A teenage boy, not more than fifteen, jumps out of the driver’s side. It’s
clear he’s not been to a hospital before, given he’s driven to the parking lot
and not the emergency entrance. He opens the door at the same time the
nurse reaches the vehicle. For a few seconds, they both stare into the back
seat.
“Is that . . . the head?” the boy stutters. “Why is . . .? Mom, you said we
had time.”
A woman’s moans fill the air as the boy, horrified and as white as a sheet
of paper, keeps his eyes on the back seat.
“Kid! Hey!” The nurse grabs the boy’s forearm and shakes him, but he’s
not responding. “Kid. Focus!” She slaps him lightly on his face. “Get inside
the hospital. Find a doctor and drag them out here.”
“Aren’t . . . aren’t you a doctor?”
“I’m just a nurse. The information stated your mom was having
contractions, not that she was in full-blown labor. Go. Now!” she snaps,
turns toward the car and kneels down on the concrete, placing her hands on
the seat in front of her. “It’s okay, Mama. Breathe for me. It’s okay. When
the pain comes, I need you to push, all right? What’s your name?”
The woman in the car whimpers and says something I don’t catch,
probably answering the nurse’s question, then cries out again.
“I’m Milene,” the nurse says. “You’re doing great, Jenny. Yes, breathe.
One more time, the head is already out. Just one more push, but make it
count.”
The nurse looks over her shoulder at the hospital entrance, then off to the
side until her gaze lands on me. “You! Suit guy!” she yells. “Come here!”
I cock my head and take in the sight of her. The first thing I notice are
her eyes, but not the color. I’m too far away to see that detail. There is a
mixture of panic and determination in them that captures my gaze. In any
other situation, I would have ignored a similar request and walked away.
Other people’s lives don’t interest me in the least. But I find myself unable
to move my gaze from the girl. It takes quite a lot of determination to keep
a level head in a situation like this. Slowly, I approach the car, my eyes not
leaving the nurse who is, once again, focused on the woman in the car and
doling out instructions. The nurse’s hair is a very light shade of blonde, and
it’s gathered into a ponytail, which hangs in disarray.
