Marc gripped the bedrail, eyes wide.
\n\u2014 He\u2019s crying\u2026 our baby is crying!<\/p>\n
Dr. Clara rushed over, stethoscope in hand, her movements steady but her voice trembling. She examined him, took his pulse, checked his reflexes.
\n\u2014 He\u2019s breathing, she said, overwhelmed. His heart is strong. This is\u2026 extraordinary.<\/p>\n
\u00c9lise burst into tears and held both her sons against her. Marc let his tears flow freely. Even Anna, who had wanted to shield L\u00e9o, brought a hand to her mouth.
\n\u2014 Thank you, Lord, she whispered.<\/p>\n
The murmur spread through the hallway. Nurses stopped, moved. Doctors remained silent, almost reverent. A child without breath had found his in his brother\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n
Later, as the baby rested, warm and pink, against \u00c9lise, Marc knelt beside L\u00e9o.
\n\u2014 Son\u2026 how did you do it?<\/p>\n
