True love never dies (Casualty)

36

Layla lay in the hospital bed. She looked to cal as he held their baby girl. Layla was exhausted. She had spent the last twenty hours in labour and she just wanted to sleep. She looked to the two of them and smiled

It was all falling into pieces. It was her family. It was her and cals family and she couldn't believe it. Layla was happy

"She's beautiful. You did good lay" cal said as he walked over. Layla looked to their baby and smiled

"Pass her for a minute" Layla said as she sat up slightly. She looked to her baby girl as cal placed her into her arms and smiled. Layla knew that it was a shock. She was a mum and it didn't make sense.

She was happy. She was a mum and it all felt right "she looks like you" Layla said as cal chuckled

"No shes red from the birth that will wear off. She is all you" cal said as Layla smiled

"It's mad to think that we made her I mean I can't believe it" Layla said as cal looked to her and smiled

"I know but it is all worth It. Don't you think" cal asked as she plonked to her baby. She trailer her face with her finger and smiled

This was her baby that she and cal made and she couldn't believe it. She was perfect and she was their baby and nothing else seem to matter

All the fear that she had felt had gone away all that she felt was love for this little baby. This baby that she and cal had made. She knew that she was tired and hormonal. She had just given birth but she knew how much that she loved her baby already

Cal sat in the room with the baby. Layla was asleep. He looked to see Lola as she walked in and smiled as he looked to her

"I wanted to see if she was okay" she said as he smiled

"Layla is tired but she's spend almost a day in labour and this one is perfect I can't believe I am her dad" he said as Lola looked to the baby that lay in his arms and smiled

"She's perfect. Do right by her not like your dad" Lola said as cal looked to her and smiled

"You don't need to worry. I am not going to let anything bad happen to her. To either of them" he said as Lola smiled

"I'm glad to hear. Have you got a name" Lola asked

"Not yet we're torn between a few" cal said as Lola smiled

"I'm sure whatever you pick with be right" Lola said as cal looked to her and smiled

Layla woke up and looked to see cal as he lay asleep in the chair next to her. She looked to their baby who was also asleep. She sat up and winced in pain from the birth

She looked to cal and to their baby and smiled. They were officially a family and it was a lot to get her head over. She knew that she was happy and that this was what she wanted

She wanted it to all work out and for them to be a family but could they make it work now their baby was here?
