"Help! Someone Help! My daughter can't breath!" Niall held on to Angel rushing toward the hospital.
The nurses hurried and took her into the emergency room.
Abby was crying feeling scared and Niall was pacing back and forth panicking.
"Please..Please get well" Abby whisper-cried.
"Please" she held on to Angel's tiny blanket tighter.

The doctor looked down coming out of the room.
Both Niall and Abby stood in front of him with sad and feared faces.
"I'm so sorry for your loss"
Abby lost her balance for a second and almost fell down but Niall held on to her feeling shocked and broken himself.
"What?" He asked not believing his words.
"Her lungs closed up it was a struggle for her to breath and it was too late for us to perform any surgery. I'm so sorry for you" he said.
Niall swallowed the lump in his throat.

"Ho-How come no one said any words about her lungs when she was born?" Niall asked.
"I'm sorry" he said again.
"SORRY WON'T BRING MY DAUGHTER BACK TO LIFE!" Niall shouted.
"My Angel" Abby cried running inside.
She saw the little white blanket on her daughter's body.
"No" she cried more removing the blanket off her.
"No .. she's not dead! She's alive" Abby picked her up and held her to her chest.
"Angel wake up .. don't scare your mummy and daddy like that .. please wake up"
Niall saw Abby and broke more.
He turned around and covered his mouth crying silently.
Abby started rocking her baby.
"Twinkle Twinkle little star .. how I wonder what you are" she sang while crying.
"Mam" one of the nurses tried to separate them.
"Don't touch her!" Abby snapped.

"Abby" Niall came next to her with red puffy eyes. He was breaking but he wanted to be strong for her.
"No Niall .. I don't want them to take my baby away"
His tear rolled down.
"They have to so she could sleep peacefully" he said calmly.
"Why can't she sleep in my arms?"
He closed his eyes trying his best not to cry.
"Come on now" he slowly helped the nurses to take Angel away.
He then held Abby and walked toward the car.

Once the car started driving away Abby looked through the window.
"We forgot her! We forgot our daughter" she banged on the window crying.
"Angel! Angel!"
"Abby .. shh .. Abby" Niall held her to his chest and she cried her eyes out wetting his shirt.
"Angel" she cried.
They finally reached home and by that time people of the mansion heard the news.
Abby wasn't crying anymore. She was numb. But only for now.

"I'm sorry for your loss Abby" said Bobby.
Abby looked at him with broken and hatred eyes.
"You" she said.
"You have no right to feel sorry for me" she said.
"You never liked her. From the moment she was in my stomach till the very last second. Not once you glanced at her. Not once you held her" her breath got caught in her throat.
"Not once you loved her as her grandfather so you have No Right To Feel Sorry For Me!" She raised her voice slightly as her tears started falling again.
Bobby opened his mouth to say something but Niall stopped him.
"Dad just this once let it go" he said feeling tired. He held Abby's hand and walked upstairs to their room.

Abby walls toward Angel's bassinet and broke down again.
"Let's lay down a bit" Niall brought her to the bed.
She hugged the tiny blanket and cried herself to sleep.

Niall was working in his office room. He was distracting himself.
Zayn went to check on Abby.
He was about to knock but he heard Abby singing a lullaby.
He became confused and opened the door slightly.
She was sitting on the bed holding the blanket just like how she used to hold Angel.
She looked up and noticed Zayn.
"Oh hi Zayn" she smiled.
"Look your uncle is here" she said to the blanket.

"Abby .. who are you talking to?" Zayn asked.
"Who do you think? My daughter. My Angel" she held the blanket to her chest kissing it.
"Oh Abby" he said feeling sorrow for her.
"Abby that is a blanket"
"It's her blanket. She loves to sleep in this blanket. Don't you love this blanket?" She looked down as if she was really talking to a baby.
He couldn't watch it anymore.
He rushed out and went to Niall.

"Niall .. Abby needs help"
"What?"
"She .. she's holding on to the blanket and talking to it, treating it as if Angel is really there" he said.
Niall gave him a confused look.
"Go and watch yourself"
Niall walked to their room and witnessed what just Zayn explained.
She was hugging that blanket in a way a mother would hug her baby.
"Abby" Niall mumbled to himself.
"I'm sorry man" Zayn hugged him.
With that hug Niall broke down himself.
That was the thing Niall needed since morning.

A hug
