Dr. Emily Stone quickly stepped forward to wrap the small baby in warm blankets and check his breathing. Meanwhile, Gerard worked steadily to clean Lola’s insides and close the incision with neat, careful stitches. The little baby, named Milo, let out another soft squeak, proving to the tired team that he was strong and ready to fight for life.
Lola’s heart rate slowly settled into a calm, steady rhythm as Gerard finished the operation. They brought tiny Milo close to her face as she gently woke up from the sleeping medicine. Even in her weak state, Lola immediately wrapped a long arm around her newborn baby, pulling him tight against her chest with deep, quiet motherly love.
