"It's me , they are not here, the doctor asked me to come let you know, if you wish to remove the blind fold now or still wait for them" the nurse stated.
I was disappointed but had to be patient.
"I will wait..".
"Alright Mr Prince".
"Please, nurse, are you there?"
"Yes Mr prince?"
"Can you call them to know if everyone is okay?"I suggested.
"We did call but it wasn't going through, if you are very excited and impatient, you should remove it. The nurses and surgeons will be here with you , when they come , they will be very happy to see you as a surprise, it's still the same thing".
She spoke softly.
I sighed deeply. She is right about one thing. I am inpatient and excited. It's been a long time since I saw the light, the sky , my parents, Zoey and my Valerie.
"Alright I think i'm ready".
I heard footsteps approaching, must be the surgeon and nurses.
"We are all here , so can we now loose it? We promise you are going to love your face again", the nurse assured me.
"Just a minute"
I paused and said a short prayer.
"Okay, now I am ready".
They loosened every piece and my face was free
"Open your eyes ,"the surgeon said.
My eyes were still closed when tears started rolling down my cheeks, I was nervous and praying to see again.
Slowly I opened my lids with tears embedded in my eyes, the light shining through my eyes made me tear up.
Then the face I saw wasn't my reflection as they said , it was Val sitting on a wheelchair.
She had tears all over her face smiling at me, I was surprised they lied to me and granted me my wish.
My eyes were still fixed on Val as if I was just seeing a person for the first time in my life, admiring my beautiful wife.
Zoey ran and hugged me.
"Brother, you can see again".
She ran her hands all over my face.
"It's smooth and your face again!"
She said happily, I smiled at her, my eyes went back to focus on Val, something was wrong, I was studying her closely.
She's in tears but smiling, she looked tired and faint like she ran all the way home, also why the wheel chair?
"Angel? Are you okay?"
"Not really , it's your fault anyway".
She smiled weakly.
I don't understand if it's my fault. Did I put her in this situation? What happened to her?
Debra pushed her wheelchair towards me, as they got closer I realized she was carrying a baby, my feet went cold and my heart raced.
They got to where I was sitting and Debra smiled at me.
I looked at the baby, very tiny and trying to open his eyes a little bit.
I couldn't control my emotions. I hugged Val and planted kisses all over her face crying with my forehead pressed on hers.
The baby started crying and she handed him over to me. I was so scared , he looked so small but I couldn't help but hold my baby.
"Frog Prince is now a crying Frog dad!"Zoey teased me.
I kissed Val passionately while holding my baby, who seemed to enjoy the chemistry and kept quiet but as soon as we stopped he cried again.
The doctors and nurses congratulated us, beaming in smiles.
Valerie requested the baby to breastfeed him, I panicked because the doctors are still with us.
"Not here Angel, people are watching"
I cautioned her.
"It's not yours anymore, it's a baby's, so he needs it now".
"We should excuse you now".
one of the doctors suggested.
They all left and Val started breastfeeding the baby.
I was sitting besideVal admiring how my son grabbed the boobs with both hands, he is a true don of his father.
"I am sorry I wasn't there to support, how hard was the labor?"
She punched my shoulder.
"Ouch, what's that for?"
I asked amused pretending that the punch was brutal.
She punched it again, I had to hold her and Zoey laughed at the drama.
"It's nothing compared to what I saw in there, but thank God, it was smooth as the nurses said, for me I almost gave up my ghost".
"Oh my dear wife, your ghost shall not be given up"I said sweetly and kissed her.
"Well , from now on no sex till a year".
I was shocked beyond words.
"Excuse me Mrs Valerie Norman".
"You heard me Mr Prince Norman, it's a decision".
She said and pouted.
"A horrible decision! Mother?"
I called Debra impulsively then closed my eyes in embarrassment.
She too was shocked I called her out and with the name mother.
