It's been four days since Reece was born and still no news on Blossom. Ellie's staying with Megan and Phil while I stay at the hospital with Reece. On the day Reece was born Ellie was able to hold him, as was everyone else. They stayed with me for a day before they had to go home. Tomorrow I'm allow to take Reece home. At the moment he's sleeping in my arms.
"Mr Howell?" A nurse asks.
"Call me Dan." I say, standing up.
"Okay, Dan, you can see Blossom now." I smile slightly and follow the nurse out of the room. We walk down some corridors and into a room. I see Blossom with an oxygen mask and many machines hooked up to her. I sigh as tears threaten to spill onto my face. "I leave you two alone."
"Thanks." I mutter. I sit down on the chair next to her. "In a coma again?" I laugh, shaking my head. Reece wakes up and grabs at my fingers. I smile at him and let him take my finger. "Reece wants to see you, Blossom. He's so cute. Phil says he looks like me, but I think he has your face shape." I take her hand. "Please wake up. Reece needs you, Ellie needs you. I need you. I'm so sorry that I made you cry and that I caused so many fights. I was so stupid. I really do love you, and I alway will." I whisper. Tears start to roll down my cheeks. Reece starts to cry. I let go of Blossom's hand and stand up, rocking Reece with my back to the bed.
"D-Dan?" A weak voice stutters. I look over to the bed. Blossom has her eyes open. I turn around to face the bed and walk toward her.
"Blossom..." I say breathlessly. "Oh, my God. You're awake!" I lean over and kiss her.
"That's nostalgic." She smiles.
"Yeah."
"Where's Reece?"
"Right here." I motion to my arm.
"Can you make the bed go up?"Bo asks. I reach for the remote and make the bed sit her up. "Thanks." I give Reece to her. "He looks like you."
"That's what Phil said." I grin.

The doctors have moved Blossom into the room where I was staying. She doesn't need the oxygen mask but is still hooked up to some machines.
"Hi." Rose smiles. She helped me with Reece when everything got too much.
"Hey." I grin.
"So you're the famous Blossom, Dan talked about you a lot." She says. "You look happier." Rose says to me.
"Really? What has he been talking about?" Bo asks, smiling.
"He said you're the most beautiful girl he's ever met, that he loves you and that he didn't know what to do with out you." I blush and grin madly.
"Oh really." Blossom giggles.

-One day later-

Blossom got the all clear yesterday but she has to take it easy at home. Today we are taking Reece home. First we need to pick up Ellie from Meg and Phil.
"You alright?" I ask as Bo gets out of the bed.
"Yeah." She groans as she stands up. I help her get changed before we exit the hospital with Reece. Blossom lowers herself into the car seat, settling Reece on her lap. I get in a drive off to Megan and Phil's house.

"Hey." I smile as the door opens.
"Hey! How's Bo?" Phil asks.
"She's much better. She's waiting in the car with Reece."
"That's good. Ellie can't wait to see you." Phil smiles. He motions for me to go inside. I see Ellie and Taylor playing in the lounge. When Ellie notices me, she gets up and runs to me. I crouch down and open my arms.
"Daddy!" Ellie laughs.
"Hello, sweetheart." I grin as I hug her. "Did you have a good time with Uncle Phil and Auntie Megan?"
"Yeah!" I chuckle and pick her up.
"Thanks for looking after her."
"Anytime." Phil smiles.

"Aw, Reece, don't cry!" Blossom sighs.
"Try feeding him!" I shout from the kitchen. Ellie and I are making cupcakes for Bo.
"Okay!" She shouts back. Soon the crying subsides.
"Oh, no! Ellie don't eat that!" I warn as she is about to put a fistful of flour into her mouth. Instead she chucks it at me. It hits me square in the chest. "Ellie!" I chuckle.

"Mummy! We made cupcakes." Ellie says proudly, showing Blossom the cupcake she decorated.
"Wow! Did you make this?" Bo asks, taking the cupcake.
"Yeah! All by myself." Ellie lies. I roll my eyes and lean on the doorframe.
"It's very yummy!" She smiles as she takes a bite. Ellie grins and runs past me and back into the kitchen. "Nice top." Bo comments at the huge white mark on my chest.
"It's Ellie's design." I chuckle.
"Daddy, your cupcake." Ellie offers, holding a cake in the air.
"Aw, thanks, Ellie." I take the cupcake and take a bite. "Ten out of ten!"
"Can baby have cupcake?" Ellie enquires.
"Not yet, Hun." Bo pouts.
"Why?"
"He can't eat big food like you can."
"Why?"
"Because he's a baby." Bo answers. I turn back into the kitchen and start to tidy up.
"Oh okay." Ellie says. She walks away and eats her cupcake, making a trail of crumbs along the floor.
