Aurora is still yelling at me and Dad while Mario holds her back. The nurses are still finishing up on Antonio and can't afford to be distracted. Rose has stood with Elle a little ways down the hall, because Aurora wanted them to stay close. She's already grown close to Elle in the span of hours.

"Papá!" Aurora yells and gets me out of my daze. "Questo è ridicolo! Fammi vedere lui!"

"No Aurora," I cut dad off. "He'll be ready for visitors soon. Just give it time."
