Chapter 15 – THE BABY

Our daughter arrived seven weeks later.

Her name was Claire.

Healthy.

Six pounds, eleven ounces.

Adrian was not in the delivery room.

A protective order existed.

So did my preference.

He learned through counsel.

Received photographs through an approved channel.

No dramatic hospital confrontation.

No Marzano relatives in the corridor.

Dad waited outside until I asked for him.

Then came in holding flowers and crying so hard I pretended not to notice.
