Knocked Up II. [Harry Styles]

Chapter 21

Harry's POV:

Seven days has passed. Seven wonderful days since Ivy was born. But seven awful days of waiting for Sienna to wake up. She's still in a coma, she has had light spasms on her toes, fingers. I have seen her eyebrows move, just a little. But still, she is still deep asleep. The doctors have told me to be patient, that only time will tell. They also tell me to not lose hope.

And I haven't. I have been here almost every second of the day. I managed to rent an apartment just a block away from the hospital to be as near as possible. When she wakes up, and I know she will, I want to be here, by her side.

Right now, a nurse is cleaning her, running a wet towel through her legs and arms. It pains me to see her like this, most of the times I just hold her hand and talk to her, even though I doubt that she's listening. I have sing to her, I brought my guitar and sometimes I play for her, I have played music as well. I have heard music can help people in a coma. But so far, it's not working.

I want her, here. Awake. I want to see her eyes looking back at me. I want to see her holding Ivy. I want to see her beautiful smile again.

I don't know what I would do if she doesn't wakes up. It pains me to even think of it. Sienna became my other half. She's the woman I want to marry one day, she's the perfect, patient and loving mum. We have had our ups and downs but every single day next to her is a gift. She was the woman that made me a father and taught me how to be a dad, and for that, I will be forever in debt to her. I love her, so much. So much that most of the times I just want to cry.

I need my girl.

It is painful, but at the same time, I have to be strong. The little girl I'm rocking in my arms right now needs me. The little boy that is sleeping on the chair next to me needs me. I need to stay strong for us.

But god, I do pray for her to wake up and I'm not so much a religious person, but I have prayed this time. Countless times.

Karen enters the room, she visits her every single day. Today, she comes with an apologetic look on her face.

"Harry. Take the night. I can stay if you want." Sienna's mum says, going inside the room. "Tomorrow is my day off, I can stay."

"I can't leave her." I reply, seeing that the nurse just finished her bath.

And I mean it. After what happened with Sienna, I feel somehow responsible. She was extremely sad and I can just imagine how stressful that was for her. I'm staying with her from now on, even if she doesn't know it.

"You need to rest." She places a hand on my shoulder. "If you don't want to leave, then let me take the kids home. They need a good night sleep and a well rested father."

She's right. I haven't slept much since I got here. Ivy wakes up twice at night and Jack wakes up early in the morning. He's a little confused, he sees her mum sleeping so he feels like it's always bed time. He plays to lay down and closes his eyes as if he was sleeping, too. He does this many times, I think hoping that in one attempt she wakes up, too.

"I'll be here first thing in the morning." She says to me. That reassures me. "Martha is going to be with me, she's waiting downstairs." She adds, I stand up.

"Thank you." I say to her, giving her a hug.

"Try to rest, okay?" She says to me. "She's going to be fine."

"I know." I say to her with a smile. I give her the already sleeping Ivy, and I put Jack on his pram.

"Goodnight, champ." I give him a kiss and caress Ivy little rosy cheek before they leave.
