Lost

Axe's POV

I watch as Rose grabs the nearest table before she passes out, I'm the first one to catch her before she hits the floor. I quickly pick her up with Cory and Cavin close behind me.

We walk out and to thier car where I place both of us in the back. "We need to call the babysitter and let her know what's going on." Cory says from the passenager seat.

I tune out of their conversation and focus on Rose she's still breathing and isn't losing a lot of blood. I read her file and know some of what she's been through back in her home town. What I had read only made me want to protect her more I felt the need to have her by my side her and her kids.

As soon as we walk into the hospital they take Rose back and have us sit in the waiting room.

"How is she?" I hear a familiar voice ask.

"Mom what are you doing here?" I ask standing up but stop when I see the little bundle in her arms and Josh running to the guys. "You're the babysitter?"

"Yes this little girl is the best little baby in the world and that little man is an angel. What are you doing here?" she asked handing the little girl over to Cory who takes her in his arms with care.

I didn't know I was staring at her til my mom kissed my cheek. "You picked a good one but you have to be careful with this one take it slow and for the love of god don't fuck it up." she said with a slight slap on the back of the head. That ladies and gentlemen is my mother Lynda Black.

After my mom left we all stayed seated in our orginal seats but with me sitting across from the boys still keeping my eyes on the little baby in Cory's arms.

"You know Rose was always the peace keeper in the group. She was always the one to break us up when we were fighting and then she met the wrong person and she wasn't the peace keeper anymore she was a fighter. When Lily and Josh were born she cried for hours so happy to have them but so happy that they didn't look like their dad." Cavin says not looking at me but looking at the baby in his boyfriend's arms with his own wrapped around a sleeping Josh.

Cory looked up at me catching me looking at Lily. "Would you like to hold her?" he asked me softly, did I want to hold her?

"Yes please." whispered and took off my cut before Cory brought him over to me and setting her gently in my arms.

She looked so small in my arms like my body could just swallow her whole. And just like her mom she stole my heart the minute her eyes opened up and looked at me. This is what I want, I want them. I can see myself going to Josh's football games, being there to bail him out of his first fight, teaching him to drive, being there at his graduation. I want to be there when Lily starts school, I want to be at the father daughter dances, I want to be there whenever a boy breaks her heart, I want to be the one to walk her down the ise when she gets merried. I want it all and I want it with them.
