My mommy told me something That little girls should know It’s all about the devil And I’ve learned to hate him so I know he’ll be unhappy ‘Cause I’ll never wear a frown Maybe if we keep on smiling He’ll get tired of hangin’ round
Turns out that Joe had a heart murmur. Dr. Rabb and the surgical staff did everything that they could for the baby and now it was a waiting game to see if Joe would pull through or not. Abby and Luka sat beside Joe's incubator watching and waiting. After the surgery Luka took some time off to be with Abby and his son. Kerry actually insisted that he take the time off to be with his family. Luka didn't protest. He would much rather be here in the NICU with Abby and Joe then in the ER.
A NICU nurse came over to check on Joe. "How's Joe doing today?" She asked trying to make some small talk with Luka and Abby. "Same as yesterday." Luka squeezed Abby's hand as he talked. "Well that's good." "Yea." Abby said trying to force a smile. Luka squeezed Abby's hand again and she turned to look at him. He too forced a smile before turning his attention back to the nurse and Joe. The nurse finished up by putting a few notes onto Joe's chart before moving onto the next baby.
"Do you think he's going to pull through Luka?" Abby didn't take her attention off Joe as she talked to Luka. "He's a strong boy." Luka looked over to Abby whose attention was still on Joe. "Yea." Abby said crying now. Luka rubbed her back trying to comfort her. After a few minutes of silence between the two Abby spoke up again. "I want to have him baptized Luka." "When?" Abby stared at Joe a moment before answering. "Soon." "Okay."
Luka made the arrangements with the hospital chaplain to come in and do the baptism. That afternoon it was done. Neela was asked to be the godmother and came up from the ER to be there for the baptism. Luka, Abby, Neela and the Chaplain all stood around Joe's incubator. "...Josip Gabrijel Kovac. I baptize you in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit." The chaplain said as he made the sign of the cross over the baby. The four stood in silence a few minutes before Luka thanked the chaplain for coming to do the service. The chaplain smiled and shook Luka's hand. "My the lord be with you in this time of need." Luka nodded his head and the chaplain turned to leave.
It wasn't long before Neela was paged back down to the ER and Abby and Luka were again left alone to be with there son.

I know, I know. I haven't updated in the longest time. But I finally got over my brain fart so here is the conclusion of my story:
Luka rolled over and was surprised to find that Abby wasn't asleep next to him. He sat up in bed and that's when he noticed Abby sitting at the end of the bed. "Abby." He said in a hushed tone. "I can't stop looking at him." Luka smiled and crawled out of bed to sit next to Abby. He smiled down at this sleeping son. He put his arm around Abby's waist. "I'm so glad to finally have him at home." Luka pulled her closer to him. "After everything in the hospital, Joe being born so early and then the surgeries. I'm just glad that he's here." "Me too." Luka said kissing Abby. "I can't stop staring at him." "He's beautiful, just like you." Luka kissed Abby again. Joe stirred in his bassinett and then began to cry. Abby stood up from the bed and picked him up. "Oh, it's okay buddy." She said kissing him. "Are you hungry?" Abby said unbuttoning her top. Joe had fallen back asleep before his feeding was done and Abby handed him over to Luka before buttoning her shirt again. Luka held Joe as he and Abby talked. Abby stroked Joe's hand. "There was a time in my life when I didn't think I wanted to be a mother." Abby looked down to Joe and then back up to Luka. "But know I can't believe I ever felt that way." Abby said kissing Joe's hand. "Here, I'll put him back down." Abby said taking him from Luka. Abby kissed Joe one more time before placing him back in the bassinett. She pulled a blanket over him and moved a stuffed bear that had fallen face down closer to his head. Then she climbed back into bed. Luka rolled over and pulled her close. "Maybe we should try it again sometime." He said with a smile. Abby thought a moment. "Maybe we should."
The End
