*LUKE'S POV*

They took the baby like ten minutes ago. We're still sitting here. I want to see Lacey. I want to tell her how great job she did, how beautiful our daughter is. I mean, she probably saw her already, but anyway. "Is there someone with Miss White?" the doctor speaks to us. We all stand up and he raises his eyebrow. "Parents, maybe?" he asks and her parents go to him. Doctor is talking to them and I want to know what's going on. I know that all of us do, but... He's leaving, and Lacey's father is following him. Lacey's mum takes few steps forward, but then she turns to me and waves at me to follow her. I see them walk into a room. It's probably doctor's office. Lacey's mum walks in and I walk in right behind her. "I'm sorry but..." the doctor starts, but Lacey's mum cuts him off "that's okay. He can be here. He's father of the baby" she says and looks at me. She smiles at me and I smile back. The doctor nods. "Okay, so the thing is, that there's a small complication" Lacey's dad cuts him off "what complication? What's wrong with my daughter?" he tries to control himself. "Fine, I'll make this short. I'm sorry, but your daughter is in coma" he says. "What?" Lacey's father shouts and her mum start to cry. "When will she wake up?" I ask the doctor. He looks at me "nobody knows."

That's enough for me to hear. I stand up and rush out of there. I want to see her, I have to see her, I need to see her. This is not fair. Why her? Didn't we go through a lot of things? Do we really have to go through this too? She doesn't deserve this. I need to find her. I see a nurse walking out of the delivery room. I run to her "where is she?" I ask her and she looks scared. "Please, tell me where she is..." She looks at me for a while and then she nods "follow me" she says and I follow her to some door. She points on the door and I open it. I see her lying on the bed. I run to her and hold her hand. "Why? Just tell me why. I thought there's nothing else what can happen to us, but I was wrong. Honestly, I really don't care about when you will wake up, just wake up please. I need you, our daughter needs you, we need you. Please. I promise, I'll take care of her and I promise I won't spoil her. Really. All I want is right now is you to be with us. I want you to see her, she's really beautiful just like you. She has your eyes. You did an amazing job. If this is a punishment for everything what I did to you, then it's probably the worst punishment ever. If the destiny wanted to punish me, it also punished you. I don't understand. Anyway, everyone is here. My parents, your parents, my brothers, your brother, Lola, Calum and Jade, Michael and Ashton. All of these people are here and all of them saw our beautiful little princess. She's our everything. Please, just wake up" I tell her and hot tears are streaming down my face. I don't even want to stop them. I know she heard every single word what I just said. I know she did, because I know her. I kiss her hand and her forehead. Then I whisper in her ear "I love you. I will love you forever." Then I let her mum to sit on the chair. It's already her brother, Lola and her father here. When I walk past her father, he claps me on the back and do something with his mouth which is supposed to be a smile. I know he hated me, he still does, since the first moment we met. He never wanted me to date her. He always hated me, he still does and I'm pretty sure he always will.

"Mr. Hemmings?" an older nurse speaks to me. "Yeah?" I turn to her. "I just need to know some information about the baby" she says and I nod. "Okay, what do you need to know?" I ask her. Then she asks me about my name, Lacey's name. Our birthdates. Then she tells me the weight and the height of the baby. "Okay, so what about the name?" she asks. I know I always called her Skylynn, and I know that Lacey like this name, but we actually never talked about it. The worst thing is, we can't talk about it now, because nobody actually knows when she will wake up. It can be tomorrow or next week, next month, next year or in seven years. There's also a chance she will never wake up. "Skylynn Chloe Hemmings" I finally say. She writes it down and I sigh. Skylynn was so sure. I called her like this since Lacey told me she's pregnant. I don't know where I saw or heard this name but it just came to my mind when she told me and I knew I want our daughter's name to be Skylynn. Middle name I picked Chloe, because Lacey like this name. Once I asked her, if she could change her name to any other one which one would it be and she said Chloe. And I choose to give her my last name. It's good if we will have the same name. When will Lacey wake up, I'll marry her and she will have the same as we do. I just hope she will. She has to. She can't do this to me. I did everything what I could.

I'm looking out of the window. I look at the phone and it's 4am. I remember the times when I used to wake up at this time and find out she's not in the bed next to me. I always found her in the kitchen watching out of the window. She said she's looking at how's the city waking up. "Are you okay mate?" I hear Calum's voice behind me. I turn around and nod. "I'm sorry" Michael says and I nod again. "It's going to be fine" Ashton tells me and I nod again. "You don't have any idea how much I wish it's true" I mumble. I spot my mum walking down the hall to me. I make a few steps forward and we hug.
