Family Love 💠 [1]

My Baby

We stayed in hospital for a week. I hadn't left her side, nor had I seen Henry. I carry Sophie into the house, she had been extremely clingy not that I blame her. We had just been on a walk around the neighbourhood, well I walked she got carried if we want to be specific.I walk into the house and froze seeing Henry standing there. "We should talk" he said "not in front of her" he nods "I told Justin to take Flynn and Ellie out...did you know Flynn is dating Lexi" I nod "I did" I nod rubbing Sophie's back "I single handedly destroyed my family the most important thing to me" I sigh Sophie was asleep, she was clutching me for dear life. I slowly walk over to him handing him Sophie, with a lot of difficulty. He held her close, the moment she realises its him she snuggles into him holding him tight. Probably wouldn't let go anytime soon. "She missed you" i say watching her sigh in content in her sleep. "I missed both of you" "you could have visited" he sighs rocking Sophie. "I should have" that told me he didn't have a reason. "I'm going to fix this" I silently nod "you were right I don't fight for us you do all the fighting and fixing" I just listen "I'm not going to walk away" he said sternly making me calm a little. Truth was I didn't know what to think. Part of me wanted him to walk away. "I need you to put your family first I don't care if your not my Henry people grow but I do need parts of him the kind caring side. The part of the you that puts your family first. Not only do I deserve that but she does" I point to Sophie he nods "Henry you do know that our marriage is falling apart right" he nods "this isn't like Bunny or when I found out about Erin if this doesn't work we won't be married" he sadly looks at me knowing how true it was. "Lucky for you I'm not going to let that happen" I smile the first real smile since the start of this. He wraps his free arm around me holding close and tight. I sigh leaning against him he was my entire world. I can't even begin to what life would look like without him. I didn't want this to fail, I didn't want a divorce. I just wanted my husband.

"I want to take you to dinner" Henry said suddenly. We were sitting on the couch the tv playing the news I don't think either of us were watching it, just lost in our own thoughts. Sophie laying on Henry's chest fast asleep. I stare at him in utter shock. "Let me shower you in love" I slowly nod he hadn't asked me on a date in forever. I practically had to force him to have coffee with me. "I would love that" he smiles "then we can have a family dinner I will even let Ruzek come" I laugh this was my Henry "what about Charles" he nods "his starting to grow on me" I nod "they can all come" I smile at him "you can make your pasta and I will make everything else" my smile widens it was always like a special gift when he cooks. His cooking is the best but he rarely ever does it often to tired to after work. "You tell Justin" "not on purpose I was taking to Sharon I needed to vent and he came up behind me....I told him I didn't know and that we would tell him when he know" he nods "we are going to get through this" he said sternly. It made me happy knowing he was committed to fight for us, fix us. He leans forward kissing my head careful not to disturb Sophie. "I will leave if you want. I won't give up but if your not comfortable sleeping in the same bed in the same house I will leave" I slowly nod "you can stay" I say quietly "do you blame me for giving Peter the final piece of evidence to convict you" "wheres this coming from" "I ran into Kim we talked a bit she ask if I stood by you during the trial and I told her I gave the evidence it got me thinking" he nods "I put you in an impossible situation I don't blame you I admire your courage to give him the evidence and be in court everyday" "I wasn't going to miss it. It maybe my final kiss" he laughs "Stone told me it's like a slam dunk so part of me knew where this was going. I just didn't want to believe it" he nods "I didn't blame Stone" "I know your amazing like that you don't blame people for doing their job" I smile at him. I lay against him "I would never blame you for doing the right thing you are built to do right even after all the bad you have been through" he holds me tight scared I would disappear which to some extent it was true. But I wasn't going to leave right now I was going to allow him to fight for us. I was going to give us a go. I wasn't ready to give up not yet. I knew we were going to be in a bad place for a while but I didn't care as long as we were both willing to try.
