When all is lost

The angel of death hovered over the town hospital, where a woman lay down on her bed, when terrified moans escaping her lips. The clouds were roaring in the dull, grey sky. A nervous man was sitting beside his wife, biting his nails in anticipation.

The baby had been taken away for a health test, and the mother's condition was enough to make someone shiver. The weather matched the situation perfectly; dull, sad, and terrifying.

Doctors and nurses were running up and down the hospital corridors, looking for medicines and cures. The mother's hand was weak and fragile, moving like she was going to open her eyes any moment.

But that moment never came. Her eyes were closed, dark circles hanging around them.

Finally, her eyes opened.

'Pete...??' The man frantically got close to his wife. 'Freya? Dear are you okay?' Her lips were dry and blue, her face was clearly indicating that she was slowly fading away. 'Listen, I don't have much time... I have to see my baby first'.

The father called the nurse, and the nurse obediently brought the baby. The baby was crying in his arms, but when he put oher in her arms, the baby slowed down and started smiling. The mother opened her eyes wide and started sobbing.

The baby was moving her arms and one if her fingers accidentally wiped a tear from the mother's cheek. The mother started crying even louder.

The father took the baby. The mother had her mouth moving but did not say anything. The baby's eyes twinkled in the hospital lights. Her hazel eyes were the beautiful, though tears were streaming out of it.
'What should I name you?' The father was also crying, but he controlled the tears in front of the nurses.
'I think ill name you.... Hazel. Hazel Wonder.'
