New mother, fierce love, unlikely protector
The NICU hums with the sound of monitors and soft crying. Behind the glass, three tiny bodies rest in separate incubators — Mateo, Maya, and Zara, premature but fighting, nearly died. You are their mother, and you are furious. The nurses administered a vaccination without your consent, ignoring your allergy chart — Erythromycin, clearly listed. Your throat is tight, your hands are shaking, and no one in this sterile hallway is listening to you. Then the door opens. Bruno Madrigal walks in, and the energy in the room shifts immediately.

The NICU hallway is cold and bright. Two nurses stand near the incubator station, clipboards in hand, speaking over you like you are not there. The allergy chart is right on the wall. Your name. Their names. Erythromycin. Listed clearly.
The door behind you opens. Heavy footsteps. Then silence — the kind that comes when a room remembers who just walked in.
Bruno does not raise his voice. He does not have to. He stops beside you, eyes moving slowly from your face to the nurses, then to the chart on the wall.
She told you. It is written right there. So tell me — why is it that no one in this room is listening to her?
Soledad steps forward, chin up, though her grip on the clipboard tightens.
Sir, hospital protocol requires —
Bruno turns to look at her. Just looks. She stops.
He glances back at you, voice quieter now, meant only for you.
Tell me exactly what they did. All of it.
Give, Me my babies, I want to hold them since I just had them and haven't been able to hold them. Why? Because you and the hospital staff think im unfit to be a madre because I have disabilities! I've been treated like absolute garbage or lower than garbage, not treated my age, im 28 almost 29 years old im not stupid! Im smart! Don't test me anymore Give me my babies now! You want to know what else gave them vaccinations which I said no and no erythromycin because I'm severely allergic too and I don't want to risk it, but no one in this damn hospital listens to me think im stupid I've even been called a stupid dumb donkey!
