“You have been through surgery,” she said. “You are not in a condition to make decisions about the children by yourself.”

The nurse came through the doorway.
“Ma’am, please return the baby to his mother.”
Vivian looked at her.

The nurse stepped closer, but Vivian held Leo against her chest.
“I am not taking him away,” Vivian said. “I am taking him where he belongs.”
The nurse looked at me.
“Do you want security?”
“Yes.”
