My Baby Girl

We Need A Professional Doctor

Carlos POV

I couldn't see Mr. Nelson in that state, but I couldn't do anything. His wife was in a coma, it's difficult for anyone to get out of a coma. Mr Nelson was broken completely from inside. I felt very bad for him, but I couldn't help him in this situation. What I could do is just try to calm him down.

I looked at the baby, she was smiling at me, the baby had no idea about her mother, she didn't get her mother's warm hug after birth.

I kissed the baby on her cheeks.

The baby suddenly began to cry.

"Carlos please take the baby out, Her cry Is hurting my ears. Please take the baby out!!!"He said, turning towards me.

"Yes sir", I said and I left the hut.

I went outside and I began to make the baby quiet.

"Hey, sweetheart what happened", I said while making her quiet.

"Darling don't cry, what happened?".

"Why are you crying?",.

"Are you hungry?", I said to the baby.

The old tribal women headed towards me.

"You are not holding the baby properly", she said to me in her language.

"Then how should I hold her", I said

"You should always support the baby's head and neck, so that they don't get any pain", she said.

"I don't know how to hold a baby", I told her in her language.

"I will help you out with this", she said in her language.

She took the baby from my arms.

"First slide your one hand under the baby's neck", she said.

I did as she said, I put my one hand under the baby's neck.

"Now put your other hand under their bottom", she said while putting my hand on the bottom of the baby.

"Bend your knees a bit, so that you can get a good grip", she said while hitting my leg slightly with her stick.

"Wait don't hit my leg, I can do it", I said In her language

"Okay fine", she replied..

"Now bring the baby close to your chest", she said.

I did as she said, I brought the baby close to my chest.

The old lady hit my leg again,"now keep your legs straight because you have now got a good hold of the baby".

"Why did you hit me again?", I asked her.

"While I teach the kids how to have a good body posture, I will always hit slightly on their body part, which they are not keeping in the right way. So I did the same with you", she Replied.

"Okay fine, thank you for helping me here", I said In her language

"It's fine, I am an old woman. I have been holding babies for some many years, I am pretty good at it", she replied In her language.

"Yes I can see that", I replied back.

"See the baby stopped crying, because she is now comfortable in your arms", the old woman said.

"Yes you are right".

"What if the baby cries again, even after holding her in the right way?", I asked her.

"Rock the baby in your arms. Hold your baby close in your arms, and she still doesn't stop crying, then she must be hungry, or she must be sick", the old woman replied.

"Thank you so much fir helping me out here", I told the old woman.

The old woman smiled and she headed in the other direction with the help of her walking stick.

"Carlos!!!, Carlos",

"Come on here", Mr Nelson said Calling my name.

"Yes sir", I said after entering inside.

"I am taking Addison to the hospital. She needs a professional doctor, they will be able to help me out here", he said.

"Okay sir, let's head towards the hospital", I said.

"Carlos take care of the baby, because I will be busy with Addison, so I want you to take care of this little one", he said.

"Okay sir, I will take care of you baby", I replied.

Mr Nelson carried his wife in his arms and we headed towards the main road.

"Carlos, I want you to go and find a taxi. I cannot come along with you because if I come along with you the taxi driver might not help us, I hope you can understand why, he said to me.
