Chapter 9

Eric POV

A baby's scream in the night wakes me up. I sit up in my bed and sigh, and then I get up, walking into the nursery. The child's cry belongs to my daughter, who is one week old and still hasn't got a name. I pick her up and immediately, her cries calm down. I sit down in the rocking chair and begin to rock her to sleep.

"It's okay honey…I know…I know you want your mum, but hopefully soon." I whisper to her. She looks up at with her blue eyes, the exact same colour as her mum's. I sigh and stare at my daughter. It has been a scary past few days.

Sookie didn't die, but she came close. Instead, she went into a sleep-induced coma and still, she hasn't awoken. Dr Ludwig tried very hard to save her and although she succeeded, it was like Sookie just went to sleep and hasn't woken up yet. My daughter turned out fine. She was in good health and a few days after her birth, I was able to take her home. It has been tough, but we are hopeful that Sookie will wake up soon.

"You know, I can keep talking and hoping that you will awake, but what use is there? You probably can't hear me and if you did or you could, you would have wakened up by now but obviously you can't. Sookie, please, please open those pretty eyes of yours." I beg, sitting by Sookie at the hospital.

It has been two weeks since the birth of Sookie's and mine daughter and so far, Sookie has not awoken. I sit by her bed every day but it still was no use.

I take Sookie's hand and lean in towards her. "Please Sookie…I mean; you haven't even met our daughter yet. She's so beautiful. She has my facial features and my temper but she has your eyes and your hair. She's beautiful and guess what? She doesn't even have a name yet. She's our daughter and she doesn't have a name. She needs her mum…"

I look down and I feel tears beginning to swell up. I then feel something else. A movement of sort, in Sookie's hand. I feel her squeeze my hand and immediately I look up.

"Her name is Adele, alright? Adele Sophie Northman." She whispers. She then opens her eyes very slowly.

I gasp, happy and give her a kissed on the forehead. "Oh damn it, Sookie Northman, you bloody scared me!"

She laughs quietly and looks at me. "Hi hubby."

I smile. "Hi wifey."

"Oh my god!" screams another voice. I turn and see Mia standing by the bed. "You're awake!"

Sookie smiles. "You told me that you befriend me if I left you."

Mia laughs. "I know, but I think I am about to be your second favourite girl after you meet your first one. Your daughter. I'll just go and get her."

Sookie gasps. "Is she alright?"

"Yes, she's perfect." I nod.

Sookie smiles and we see Jason enter with our daughter. He hands Adele to Sookie and Sookie begins to cry, smiling at Adele and then me. "I'm happy now."

I smile and give a kiss to Sookie. All was right in the world. My girls were safe.

3 months later

Sookie POV

Motherhood is not an easy job. After being discharged from the hospital, I threw myself into the joys of motherhood. Although Eric and my doctor told me to take it easy, I couldn't. Looking after Adele is heaven. At 3 months, she is a smiling, giggling and cheeky baby. She has my looks but her attitude and temper comes from her father. Already she is sitting up and making noises. I am happy.

Today is also a special day. It is Claudine's first birthday and I am making her cake. Adele sits in her uncle's lap and already, he's messed her up with baby food.

"Jason, it goes in her mouth, not in her hair!" I scowl at him.

"I know how to feed a baby, I have one of my own and another on the way." Jason complains.

"Well, obviously you don't know what you're doing because look at her!" I say.

Jason smiles. "I think she looks cute with food in her hair!"

I grabbed Adele off him. "Just go and do something else."

He grunts and takes off and I take Adele into her nursery. Singing a lullaby, I change her out of her clothes and clean her up. I also hear another voice joining in. Eric had come home from work. He was doing alright as a teacher. My restaurant with Sam was doing well too. All was right in the world

"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are." Sings Eric as he approaches behind me. I stop singing and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"How are my girls today?" he asks.

"We're good." I say and this time, I knew we were.
