Sofia
"Make a wish princess".
I couldn't help but blush at the princess birthday cake before me. Looking down at the pink cake, I mentally counted all the candles to make sure they were all there before looking up at everyone.
The room was decorated like a castle. Banners, balloons and presents were everywhere. But none of that mattered to me. I focused on all the people in the room smiling at me as they waited for me to blow the candles.
What more can I wish for? I have everything I need right in front of me. I don't need all the presents, just the best family in the world.
Looking at daddy and mummy sitting beside each other, my smile widened as I watched them look at each other before looking back at me.
Knowing exactly what wish I wanted, I clenched my eyes tightly and blew as hard as I can.
Everyone cheered loudly and as I opened my eyes, I was excited to see that I had blown all 8 candles out in one go.
But suddenly the room turned cold. I looked at daddy worried that I had done something wrong, but he wasn't looking at me anymore.
And when I looked at mummy, she looked so sad.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" daddy shouted making me jump in fright at how loud he was being.
Daddy quickly jumped up and stood in front of me with his arms out as if he was a superhero shielding me from the villain.
"No, I'm here to see the birthday girl" a lady's voice sounded from the door, only getting louder with each footstep.
"I said, get out of"-
"Daddy, who's this?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me.
Suddenly a tall woman walked around daddy holding a big present in her hands. Daddy looked super cross as she crouched down in front of me and smiled at me.
"Hello Sofia. Wow, look at how big you've grown" she smiled before I asked who she was again once more.
"I'm your"-
"She's waking up!" a voice yelled out causing the birthday party to vanish and instead I was met with an excruciating pain in my head.
A warm hand grabbed mine and I instantly knew who it was.
"Sofia? Baby?" he breathed out so gently.
Squinting at the bright lights and loud voices, I felt a pair of hands rest on my ears before hearing Giovanni commanding some orders to poor people just trying to do their job.
As the bright lights disappeared, I slowly opened my eyes only to meet Giovanni's frown.
"Oh babe, I was so fucking worried" he muttered out as he lifted me into his arms.
I remained completely still as he hugged me tightly before lowering me down onto the bed.
"Where am I?" I asked as I looked around.
This wasn't our usual hospital. At least I didn't think it was.
"I took you to my work. We have a medical floor. At this moment in time, I don't trust anyone with you. My building is safe and secure and no-one will be able to hurt you".
Giovanni stroked my hair softly, but for some reason I felt no comfort.
He must have sensed my worries as he slowly pulled away and instead chose to grab my hand.
