Rachel's POV

Its been nearly a week since I gave birth to Noah. Finn and I have been going to visit him as much as we can. Today we might be able to physically hold him. Finally, I'll be able to hold my son, with nothing in the way.

Hand in hand, we walk down to the ward where Noah has been living since his entrance to the world. We are greeted by Nurse Anderson. She's been amazing through out my whole pregnancy, I'm so grateful.

"Are you ready to properly meet Noah?" She asks Finn and I with a smile plastered across her face.

I look up to Finn and smile. I reposition my eye level and nod. Here goes nothing.

"Surely this is a good sign, Noah's getting better isn't he!?" I say excitedly, not directing it to anyone.

Sitting down at the chairs placed by the side of Noah's incubator. I watch as the nurse begins to retrieve Noah.

Slowly, Nurse Anderson begins to lower him in my arms. I feel my grip tighten around him. Nothing could ever ruin this moment. I'll cherish it forever.

"Rach.." I hear Finn say softly. I look up to find him with his phone taking a photo of me and Noah together.

He puts his phone into his back pocket and walks over to where I'm sat. I watch as he leans down and softly kisses Noah on the head. My two boys.

Out of the corner of my eye, I notice how nervous Nurse Anderson looks. All of a sudden Noah's heart monitor starts bleeping like crazy.

"What's going on?" I ask quickly. My grip tightens around Noah, I don't want to loose him, I can't.

Half a dozen nurses burst through the door. Without my realising a nurse has grabbed Noah from my arms and is ushering Finn and I out of the room.

"Finn, what's going on?!" I look up to him to find a worried look plastered all over his face.

I feel him wrap his arm around my waist as he guides me towards the window connecting the two rooms together.

We watch as the nurses crowd around Noah. What did I ever do to let my son go through this?

I'm fully focused on Noah when I feel Finn tighten his grip around my waist. Knocking me out of my main focus, I notice a nurse walk up to the window.

She looks at Finn and I, sending us a sympathetic look. She begins to wind down the blind taking away any view I had on Noah.

"He'll be okay, he's a Hudson.." I hear Finn repeat to himself after he pulled me into a tight hug.

Interrupting the sound of my sobs, Nurse Anderson walks through the door connecting the small and large room together.

Taking Finn's hand, we follow her away from the window and take a seat. I feel sick.

"I'm sorry-" Nurse Anderson begins to say but I interrupt her.

A loud scream escapes my mouth. "No, no, this can't be happening" I repeat. I throw my head into Finn's chest and we both begin to cry for what seems like forever.
