Wake Up

Harrys POV

I stood there holding Jennifer's hand the whole time they were trying to keep her alive.

They finally stablized her and got her to stop bleeding, but she was still unconsious. 

The doctor brushed Jen's hair off her face and tucked it behind her ear. 'Babygirl, you are lucky you  were out through the last 15 minutes', she said to Jen and gave me a sad smile.

'When will she wake up?', I asked as I ran my thumb up and down the back of her hand.

'It's too soon to know if she's in a coma or just passed out. We would like to have a CT scan of her brain because even if she wakes up, she might have some issues from all the blood loss. Half the blood in her body is from a transfusion. Had we not been doing the transfusion while she was bleeding, she would have bled to death and thats another thing. Why did she bleed? We just don't know. What I do know, is that heart is pretty junky. She has no shot at a normal life until she has it replaced..', she said.

'Replaced? Her heart!? Like a heart transplant?', I asked.

'Exactly. And that is a very riskly procedure that could take up to a year to make happen. I'll put her on the emergency list but it still could be months. Harry, she will die without a new heart. Right now, I think she could die quick and unexpected. She needs to be extremely careful to put no strain on herself and you need to make sure she doesn't or she could have a heart attack, a valve could colapse, hell her heart could just stop beating', she said and looked at me.

I just sighed. 'Okay. Wow.. this is a lot to take in', I said.

'I know. And hey, no more kids. Ever for her. Speaking of kids, why don't you go find that little baby that mama almost died for?', she replied.

'I want to..', I replied but the doctor cut me off.. 'But you don't want to leave your wife alone. Go see your baby and bring her back here, i'll stay by Jennifer, I promise', she said.

'Thank you', I replied and kissed Jennifer's forehead. 'I love you mama, i'll be back', I whispered and left to go find Malia.

I went to the nursery and found her asleep in a little bed. I bent down and gently touched her head. she had lots of dark hair and was just so tiny.

A nurse walked over after a minute. 'She is so adorable', I gushed and the nurse just laughed.

'Yes she is. She gave us a heck of a time, she cried and cried but it looks like she tired herself out. She's healthy though. 6.1 pounds. She's on the small side but as long as she's healthy, it's perfectly fine. How's Jennifer?', she asked.

'In rough shape and still not awake', I said.

We talked a little more then she left.

'Ok my little princess... i'm dying to hold you but I don't want you to wake up', I said and kissed Malia's head and wheeled her and her bed back to Jens room.

The doctor was sitting by her and she still wasn't awake.

'Oh look at that', the doctor said and smiled as she peeked in at Malia.

'Ok, I have other patients even though i'd love to just stay in here all day. She is going to be really groggy and out of it when she wakes up. She might not remember what happened and thats normal. She will also be in a lot of pain so I started a moraphine drip already. If she waked up, have someone get me right away', she said.

'Sounds like a plan', I replied.

She walked out and I just sat down in the rocking chair by Jen's bed.

'I can't take this', I said to myslef and got up and walked over to Malia. I very slowly and carefully lifted her out and laid her on my chest. She made an adorable little baby noise but she stayed asleep.

I sat back down and rubbed her little back and kissed her head and just tried not to cry.
