The nurse hands me the baby and I cradle him in my arms. He surprisingly looks a lot like me. He’s got Hunter’s nose and chin but for the most part, he looks like me.

Andy leans over, looking down at him.

“Oh my gosh, Skye! He’s freaking adorable! What’s his name?”

I look up at Andy and then Daniel. He nods, putting his hand on her shoulder.

“Well, sweetheart, that’s our decision to make.”

She looks back at her fiancé, confused.

“What are you talking about, babe?”

Daniel gives Andy such a loving look that it melts my heart.

“He’s our baby, Andy. We are adopting him into our home.”

Andy looks at me, her eyes glistening.

“Skye…”

“I can’t raise a baby right now, Andy. You want to be a mother more than anything. You’ll make a better mother than I can ever be for him. You and Daniel are going to make amazing parents for him.”

I extend my arms in her direction, handing over the little bundle. Tears start streaming down her face as she takes her new son into her arms, looking down at him with a smile.

“Hi baby.”

He yawns in response and Daniel kisses Andy’s head, looking at me, mouthing the words ‘Thank you’. I nod. I know I’m doing the right thing. Just seeing the ecstatic expressions on their faces proves it.

I know he’ll be safe with them and that is all that matters.
