Running late for her abortion appointment, the woman realized she had left her documents in the car…
He rushed from the hospital before the ambulance arrived. «What happened?» he asked, seeing his wife’s pale face. «Seems like premature labor.
Or something even worse. At the hospital, the diagnosis was confirmed—placental abruption, threat to the life of both mother and child. An emergency C-section was needed.
Paula, the doctor said, the situation is serious. We’ll do everything possible, but we can’t give guarantees.» Paula lay on the operating table and thought about Mike.
Did his visions mean something would happen to her? Would she not see how Nick grows, how Mike becomes an adult? The operation was successful. Nicholas was born healthy, though premature. Paula was also out of danger, but she faced a long recovery.
Paula woke up after anesthesia. Eugene entered the room, holding a small bundle in his arms. «Paula, meet our youngest son,» he said with a smile.
Nicholas was tiny. Despite the premature birth, all his indicators were normal. Paula took the baby in her arms and felt her heart fill with incredible happiness.
«Nicky,» she whispered, «finally we meet.» A week later, Eugene brought Mike to Paula. The boy sat by the bed and held her hand.
«Mom, you’re alive!» he exclaimed with tears in his eyes. «I was so afraid I’d lose you.» «I’m not going anywhere, son,» Paula smiled weakly.
«And how’s Nick?» «Nick is wonderful.» «Small, but very beautiful.» «Dad said he’ll live in the hospital a bit longer until he grows.
And you? Weren’t scared?» I was scared, Mike admitted honestly. «But I knew everything would be fine. I saw that you both would survive.»
Paula squeezed his hand. This amazing boy, who once left a note on her car, had become a real son to her. And now they had a full family.
Mike carefully touched the newborn’s hand. «Hi, little brother,» he said quietly. «I’m your big brother Mike.
I’ll protect you always.» Nick seemed to hear his words, opened his eyes, and looked straight at Mike. At that moment, Paula understood that her family had finally found completeness.
The pain of the past was gone, giving way to hope for the future. «Mom,» Mike said. «Remember what I said about the note? That it’s all I have.
I remember. Now I understand what you meant. I had no family, no mom and dad.
And your child—was my only hope to find a family. I saw in a dream that if he is born, I won’t be alone anymore.» Paula felt tears welling up in her eyes.
«You were right, son. We all found each other. Eugene hugged them all—his wife with the newborn son in her arms and Mike nearby.
Our family is finally complete,» he said. «And I’m happy that fate brought us all together.» Paula looked at her men—husband, older son, and tiny Nick—and understood that the note on the windshield was really a voice from the past.
Nina’s voice, who through her son helped her old friend make the right decision and find true happiness.
