Fatima was awake for most of the night, unable to sleep. Zac tried to keep up with her as much as he could, but she told him to rest. Fatima has not placed Caden in his hospital crib; she is simply holding him. She's dozed off a few times, but only for about 20 minutes at a time. Fatima has been feeling down since Caden was born. She's been feeling like she let her baby down, and every time she sees how tiny he is, she starts blaming herself. She is grateful that he survived and is healthy, but she despises the fact that he is so small. She is already aware that she is about to become overly protective of him, which she hates. However, her emotions are taking over, and she is unsure how to stop them.
Some time has passed. It is going on at 4 p.m. Everyone was gathered in Fatima's hospital room, spending time with her and the baby. Fatima has been feeding Caden every two hours, but her milk supply still isn't in yet. Danni informed her that the process would take two to three days. Fatima hasn't been in the mood to talk today, and she's been estranged from her family. Her mother showed Fatima items she had purchased for the baby, and Fatima was mostly zoning out during that time. Her family is assuming maybe she is just tired and is trying to be there the best they can. They eventually left and went to the cafeteria to get some food. The nurse entered and informed Fatima that Caden would be taken for blood, hearing, and other newborn tests soon. They will then return after the tests to bathe him. At the same time, a doctor will come in and remove the balloon that was used to stop the bleeding.
Jr: -laying on Fatima's leg, rubbing it-
Fatima: -moving her leg- Pooh, can you move some?
Jr: -looks up, stares at Fatima-
Fatima: -looks at him, leans back, closes her eyes-
Jr: Why can he -shoves Caden's back- be on you and I can't?
Fatima: -eyes still closed- Pooh, not now... Leave me alone. -pulling Caden up some on her chest- If you push him again, you will be in trouble.
Zac: -looks over, becoming upset- FATIMA, don't do you dare do that!
Fatima: -tears falling- Zachary, what the fuck am I doing? I don't want him on me. He is hurting my leg.
Jr: -pushes her leg hard, yells at her- I DON'T WANT YOU EITHER!! -gets off the bed-
Fatima: -sits up, holding Caden's body, opens her eyes- Pooh! Do you want to go in timeout?!
Jr: -stomps his foot on the floor- LEAVE ME ALONE!
Fatima: -yells- DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! I am your mother, lose the attitude.
Jr: -rolls his eyes, goes sit on the couch-
Fatima: -looks at Zac- Are you going to do anything?
Zac: Fatima, baby, this one is on you. You hurt his feelings.
Fatima: -tears falling- Zac... Get him!
Zac: -puts his head down-
Fatima: -looks at Jr- Pooh, you need to apologize now. You don't treat mommy like that.
Jr: -punches the couch- It's Zachary, don't call me pooh!
Fatima: -points her finger at him- You know what little boy... -puts Caden in the hospital crib, starts to get out of bed-
Zac: -grabs her arm firmly, stopping her- Leave him alone, Fatima!! Fuck.
Caden: -starts to cry-
Fatima: Oww, honey! Why are you grabbing me like that? -snatches her arm back, crying- FUCKING GET HIM, ZACHARY!! -slapping his stomach softly-
Caden: -cries even louder-
Zac: -growing frustrated- You need to lower your goddamn voice!
The nurse comes walking into the room to get Caden.
