689 A Surprise Arrival - Part 8
Saturday continued …
Anna turned looking at Hou Yi and quietly asked "Do you think the staff will put the two of them together?"
One of the nurses heard the question, and quickly responded "Madam Hou, the paediatrician said that we cannot do that presently, but we can put the two cribs next to each other.? If the younger baby lives a couple of days, we would be able to do that."
Hou Yi leant down and whispered, "Do not worry my love, if it happens it will happen, but at least they can be close to each other."
Quietly they moved over to their older son, before heading to their younger son and the nurses moved the two cribs together.? Looking at the two of them Hou Yi said "No matter what they are both a miracle, regardless for how long they are in our lives."
"True.? But we need to consider what we what to name them."
"Have you any ideas?"
"For our older one I thought we could name him after your father or grandfather and give him the English name Stan after my dad.? They seem to fit."
"You know my Dad would like that.? But our younger son?"
Anna laughed and said "You want me to come up with two names.? Come on Yi, you are their father. What is your idea?"
"Please do not thing it is presumptuous, but how about we give our younger son my name, Yi.? I think it fits him, and we give him the English name Aaron.? I read somewhere it means miraculous.? That is fitting, as from what I understand it is miraculous that he was born alive and every minute that we have with his is miraculous."
Anna paused.? Yi had thought carefully about the English name for a least one son.?? Was she pushing her ideas onto him for both?? "Yi are you alright with the name for our oldest son? I do not want you to feel…"
"Anna, both names are perfect.? Our oldest is named for their grandfathers, our youngest after me and his English name is perfect for what he is.? If we had girls, your name would have been there, along with a few favourites I had already picked out for little princesses."
"You are sure?"
"Absolutely.? Now before you say anything, I know about the arrangements Rosemary helped make for little Yi.? While I would have liked you to speak to me about it, I understand that it is important for you.? I would like, if you are happy, for King, Rosemary, James and Alecia to be his godparents.? We can work out little Jang's godparents later and have a much more appropriate ceremony, not rushed like this is."
"King?"
"Anna, while I trust him, I want godparents for him that will remember him, and King will do that.? If I know him, he will make a massive donation to some charity to help parents that face a similar situation to us but cannot afford what we can for our children. ?Whatever he does I will match it in our son's name."
Nodding Anna turned back to look at little Yi.? Little Jang was in his crib beside his brother and they both were reaching out towards them.? Hou Yi, seeing this picked up the camera he arranged earlier with the nursing staff to be brought in and started snapping pictures of the two of them.
Before either of them knew it, their time with the babies was disturbed by a nurse indicating that the priest and godparents were present.? The nurse explained that they would allow the priest in.? Normally in a situation like this the godparents would have to remain outside the room, but the hospital had agreed to allow Rosemary and James into the room given their nursing background.
Twenty minutes later, the quick and short christening ceremony for little Yi had happened, and leaving Anna and Rosemary in the room, Hou YI walked out with James to where King and Alecia were standing and spoke to them for a few minutes before returning.? As Hou Yi re-entered the room, Rosemary said "Yi, I will stay here but take her back to bed for a rest.? She is already exhausted."
"Rosemary…" whined Anna.
"Anna, no.? If you want to argue with me, I will get the nurses to get the specialists here and they will be more forceful about you resting.? You will be no good to either of your children if you get sick or fall in a heap as you are too tired.? I will stay with them until you are ready to come back in, but if there is a change, I will let you know.? And I promise I will take plenty of photos of the two of them."
Hou Yi moved behind Anna and as he wheeled her away said "No arguments, both our children need you as strong as possible."
