From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 335

Olivia Bennett nodded.

The nurse smiled. “Don’t worry, just hold her gently and you’ll be fine.”

Olivia murmured an “Okay,” but her arms never loosened, as if she were cradling the most fragile, precious glass ornament in the world.

After a few reminders about what to watch out for, the nurse hurried off.

Still holding her baby, Olivia felt a sense of wonder that wouldn’t leave her.

How on earth could something so tiny be a whole person? And she’d just brought her into the world herself.

She held the baby with one arm and couldn’t resist reaching out with her free hand to gently touch her little cheek.

“So soft,” she whispered, eyes sparkling with delight and curiosity.

Ethan Carter leaned in, equally fascinated.

Olivia glanced at him, unable to keep the awe out of her voice. “How can she be so small?”

Ethan had never seen a baby this tiny up close before—it was hard to believe. The two of them sat there, side by side, peering down at their daughter, the very picture of clueless but enchanted new parents.

It made Adelina Lane, standing nearby, burst out laughing.

She said, “You two were just as tiny once, you know. She’s 6 pounds, 2 ounces. Ethan, you were a little bigger—about 7 pounds, give or take.”

Olivia grinned. “I have no idea how much I weighed.”

Ethan said, “My dad’s on his way over. Maybe he’ll remember.”

Olivia nodded and turned her full attention back to the baby, heart overflowing.

Adelina Lane chimed in, “You haven’t picked a name yet.”

Olivia looked up at Ethan. “Your turn.”

They’d talked about names before, but never decided.

“Olivia, you can pick a nickname,” Adelina added.

Olivia studied the baby’s face for a long moment, then smiled. “Let’s call her Carey. Like ‘care’—because she’s surrounded by love.”

Ethan nodded. “Sounds perfect.”
