HEAT |OMEGAVERSE| ⚣ ✔️

Alright, We'll Call Him-

Hope everybody in the states who celebrates the holiday, had a wonderful turkey day, anybody else who does not, hope you had a nice random Thursday 🫶🏼😂

My day was spent with my family and it was both chaotic and great, but when are the holidays not haha.

Also forgive the 3am upload, sleep schedule was put to rest after falling asleep after stuffing my face 😭

JASPER'S POV

While moving from this bed I've been ridden in—to the wheelchair, was a whole agonizingly painful process in itself, it feels more than worth it knowing that Alex is about to wheel me through the hospital and down to the NICU.

I haven't felt this genuinely happy about something in what feels like a long time... well I guess not that long, one of the last times being when Alex said he loved me for the first time...or when he agreed to get the hell out of this city. But it's been long enough, and I'm in need of some damn dopamine right now.

"You ready to go Jas?" Alex asks softly from behind me.

Turning my head over just enough to get a view of him in my peripheral, I grin and give a nod.

I don't think I've ever felt more damn ready for anything in my life. Nothing could relate to the feeling of getting the chance to have two of the people who make up my whole world about to be together with me in one room.

"More than ready," I reply cheerfully.

"Then let's get on our way my love," he murmurs, leaning down to place a kiss to the side of my face.

I smile as I feel the warmth of his soft lips against my skin, and find myself leaning into his warmth as he places a few more.

If I didn't already feel grateful for this man and everything he does for me, the fact that he hadn't left my side basically once when I was under solidifies it ten fold, alongside his eagerness to come with me to meet our baby...honestly it's almost indescribable.

I didn't realize how much of a maze this place would be until Alex just about gave up with trying to find his way from the adult wing housing its ICU, and then the pediatric wing where the NICU is.

We've been weaving through these halls for about twenty minutes, and the string of curses being mumbled under his breath right now are nothing short of humorous as Alex finally folds, looking for somebody to show us the way.

Flagging down a passing by nurse, I let out a small, painful chuckle as he sighs in relief behind me, practically begging her to help us get through the hospital in a more timely manor.

As we continue to wheel through the unfamiliar halls, a momentary falter breaks my happiness as my mind is constantly fighting against itself to remain on the positive factors of today.

And while I want to say the only thing on my mind is finally getting to meet my child. It's unfortunately not.

I can't help but continue regurgitate this fear that was always pitted inside me, knowing that as long as Veronica walks free, not only am I still at the risk of her wrath, so is my family now.

Alex has made it a point to reassure me that he made some calls, and that there will be extra security lingering in the halls of the hospital. But I just don't find it past that evil woman to find a way to get her claws sank into us no matter the circumstances.
