Something Infinite

Chapter 2

Harry's POV

Standing with everyone in front of Nate, waiting on the diagnosis of my girlfriend, was making me anxious. I still hadn't had word on my daughter since I left her in the nurses hands, so the condition of the two most important girls in my life was still up in the air.

"How is she Nate?" Ryan asked, breaking the silence between us all.

"We managed to stop the bleeding, without any damage to the uterus. It's common in c-sections, so there's nothing to worry about health wise. This won't affect any future pregnancies, she will just need a little rest, and we'd like to keep her for observation for the next five days as standard procedure."

"Shit," I sighed in relief, literally bending over as if I were trying to catch my breath post marathon. This was an emotional roller coaster of a day, and all I wanted was to see Jen and Mia, both in good health.

Everyone around me was hugging, Lauren even clutching to Nate in gratitude for saving her daughter's life.

"Thank-You for everything Nate," I reached out to shake his hand.

"Not a problem mate, both your girls will be just fine," he assured me.

"Mia was early, is that going to affect her?" I asked him.

"Jen carried to thirty eight weeks, all Mia's organs are developed and functioning perfectly. Her breathing will find it's rhythm within the next few hours, so don't be too concerned about that. She's passed all the tests, she weighs a healthy 3kg's and she's 49cm's. You have a healthy little baby girl Harry, you have nothing to worry about," he explained to me, and now I was fully relaxed knowing they were both fine.

"When can I see them?" I asked him.

"Jen's just in recovery, we want to keep her there for an hour or so until she wakes naturally, but you can see Mia as soon as you'd like. The nurses were just cleaning her up, if you want to wait in Jen's suite they'll bring her to you. Congratulations again, i'll be popping in and out over the week to check on the girls, if you need me just give me a call," he shook my hand again, saying his goodbyes to Jen's parents and my mum.

"So do you want to meet my daughter?" I asked my sister, Sam and Angus.

"YES!" Sam screamed, covering her mouth immediately after realising how loud she was. I laughed at her excitement and lead everyone towards Jen's room.

Everyone took a seat around the room, in the first free spot they could find as we waited for the nurse to bring Mia to us. A short time of anxiousness had passed when finally a nurse from earlier wheeled her in, in a little bed. She was fast asleep, and even more perfect than I remembered her.

"Oh my God!" Lauren began to cry the second she laid eyes on her.

"She is so perfect Harry," my mum rubbed my back as we watched her.

"Do you mind if we take pictures?" Gemma asked me.

"No, as long as you don't post them anywhere, I want to be the first to post something when Jen and I are ready."

"Harry, pick her up sweetheart, I want a photo of you holding her," Lauren encouraged me.

I didn't know why I was scared to pick her up, I felt like I was going to break her or something. She was so small and fragile, and I felt like it wasn't fair for me to enjoy her while Jen wasn't able to.

"She won't break," mum laughed at me, reading my hesitant facial expression.

"Okay," I leant over her, picking her up slowly in my arms.
