It was a rainy day of November. Steven was looking out from her wife’s ward in the hospital. The light could not illuminate the street properly, only some children running along the street could be seen. They were laughing each other but wind was too strong to hear anything from outside. A little later the children disappeared in darkness. Steven sat the seat standing opposite of the bed and looked his wife, Barbara. Thinking the day when they met in a restaurant in San Francisco. They were waiting for this for nine months and now they had a baby of their own after looking other babies for livelihood for mouths. It would not be easy for them to bring up a child but it was their most important dream. Steven started to work in a bar and now he earned more and Barbara was a waitress but it is too difficult to make a living in San Francisco. Steven was thinking of this and what to do. He suddenly decided to move another city but then decided not to do. They had a house in there and jobs but they might not find them in another city. Suddenly Steven’s mobile phone rang, he tried to open it quickly not to wake up Barbara but she opened her eyes and looked around. Steven kissed her and went out of the room. It is Steven’s boss and asking when he could come to work again. After a short conversation, Steven entered the room. Barbara tried to take the flowers standing in a vase on the table. Steven ran and gave them to her and sat near her. She wanted him to give her glasses and read a few pages from book which was her best. After reading some pages, Steven noted that she was sleeping. He took his bag and went to entrance floor to talk with the doctor. He knocked the door and entered the room. The doctor was watching a program about UFO, he turned off the television and walked slowly to his trombone and started to wipe it. Steven started to bleat but suddenly the doctor took his head phone and called a man. He wanted him to discharge Barbara from hospital the following day. He turned to Steven and said “will you want this?” Steven could not say anything, he thanked and closed the door. He went to ‘check out’ to live and the nurse in front of the computer wrote his name and gave him a pay slip. It was too much for him to pay he called his best friend but he also had no money to give. His friend sold his notebook and sent the money to Steven so they could go their home. They were so happy for this baby and wanted to go home as soon as possible. They run across the road and then wanted to run another but in this second a car crashed them and except for baby the couple died
