Adrian looked at Kenna with love and compassion, understanding her desperate wish. He left in search of a nurse, while Kenna's heart raced in her chest.
Little time later, a nurse returned to the room pushing the incubator. Inside was Victoria, with her tiny eyes shut and her dark hair tangled.
The nurse was taking every possible precaution.
Kenna asked Adrian to help her sit up, and he did, tears flowing freely down Kenna's cheek. She looked at her daughter, so fragile in that incubator, seeing how small her hands and feet were, and couldn't contain a sob of gratitude and pain for what she had lost.
- My sweet Victoria. - Kenna whispered, her voice filled with emotion. - I am so sorry for not being there for you in your first days of life, but I promise to make up for that lost time.
