L.A girls (H.S)

Chapter 77

~Harry~

"She's beautiful."

"I know."

"She has Jade's nose." Gemma smiles as she presses her palm against the glass of the nursery where my daughter lays in one of the cribs.

My heart sinks when I think of Jade.

I still haven't seen her. The nurses said that she's in a chemically induced coma until her blood sugar lowers.

That's what caused the seizure, her high blood sugar that was caused by the preeclampsia that we never knew she had.

"Can we hold her?" Gemma asks and I shake my head. "Why not?"

"I want to wait until Jayden's awake. It only seems fair." I tell her and she nods.

"Harry!"

Gem and I both turn to see Hunter and Lance running toward us.

"Is Jayden alright?" Lance asks.

"She's in a induced coma but she's alright." I tell them and Lance sighs of relief before hugging me.

"Is that her?" Hunter asks in a whisper.

Lance and I pull away and we look to where he's looking.

Katrina.

"Yep, it's her." I tell him and they both melt.

"She's beautiful." Lance tells me. "Just like her mother... She has her nose."

For a moment there it actually sounded like he had a crush on Jayden.

"That's what I said!" Gemma exclaims and Katrina stirs.

We all suck In a breath, waiting for the infant to cry but she doesn't. She settles before going still again. Her chest rises and falls with every breath she takes and I smile.

"I can't wait to hold her." I say.

"Moms excited too, she's coming up to see her." Gemma tells me as she stares down at her phone.

Great, at least there's not to many people here.
>~>~>

Her hand moves in mine, her eyes fluttering open, and the color slowly coming back to her face.

After a moment of her staring at me she reaches out and brushes my hair out of my face. I lean into her hand and she smiles.

"I thought i was going to lose you." I whisper and her smile fades.

"You will never lose me Harry." Jade hoarsely replies.

I smile at her before leaning forward to kiss her. She kisses me back before she pulls away abruptly.

"What's wrong?" I ask alarmed but she shakes her head.

"Where's Katrina? Is she okay? She was so early... Where is she?" There's panic evident in Jade's face as she looks around frantically. "Where's my baby?!"

"Jade honey, calm down." I grab her chin and turn her head toward me so she looks at me.

Her eyes still search the room, not meeting my own.

"Jayden." I whisper and her gaze slides to mine. "Katrina is fine, she's in the nursery. They said that she's quite healthy for being a premie."

Jade looks away from me, her eyes closing and tears start to roll down her cheeks.

"What's wrong, love?" I ask.

"Mothers are supposed to provide for their children not put them in danger. I knew I should have listened to the-" she makes a choking sound before she covers her mouth.

She avoids eye contact from me.

"What? You knew this would happen?" I ask in a whisper.

"They told me that I was so small that I wouldn't be able to provide for myself and the baby, they said she would suck the life out of me. But I didn't care... I couldn't just reject her like that... but apparently my body said otherwise." she looks at me, her eyes red and glassy. "I'm sorry for not telling you. I just didn't want you to worry."

I stay silent and the door bursts open.

"Their bringing Katrina in!" Gemma announces and Jayden's whole attitude changes.

When do the mood swings end?
