"ready?" I asked as i helped my nonna get out of the car
"ready"she said strongly and i helped walk her into the hospital.

we sat in the waiting room.
"chica, why are you shaking"she asked placing a hand on my knee
"Just nervous "i responded.

"no need to im positive about this"she said with a smile.

"Mrs isabella romano"a nurse called out and we followed her to the room.

"yes" nonna responded.

"ill make that happen"i tell her.

After i get grandma in bed i promised her that what she wanted was going to happen
