Breathe (Cheryl Fanfic)

Chapter 52

Cheryl's P.O.V.
It's half past six in the morning when Mam arrived at the hospital. Athena have just been rolled back into her room after a successful operation. After all the waiting and worrying, I was so tired and I need a sleep so bad that my eyes are burning already. Mam insisted that I should go home since she figured that Athena might not be waking up until the afternoon so for the mean time I should freshen up.

I arrived at the house early in the morning and immediately head towards our room so I could have some sleep. And when I got there, a smile appeared on my face as I saw my two boys cuddled up on the bed. It looks like Simon did a good job in handling Eric's tantrum last night because to be honest, my little boy's tantrum can be sometimes hard to manage.

I let out a sigh before dropping my bag on the couch near the window and headed to the ensuite to take a quick shower before slipping in some new clothes. After that I walk back to the room and slip under the covers beside my son turning to him. I placed asoft kiss on his head before draping my arm around him.

I missed him really, I've been in the hospital this past few days that I didn't know what was going on with him anymore and as much as I wanted to take him to the hospital, I can't. Athena said she doesn't like him seeing her in her state today. And I think this recent tantrums is just Eric being sad because of his sister. And I can't blame him. He haven't seen Athena for almost a week now.

I would have to ask Simon what really happened last night but for now, I need some sleep cause my head is killing us already. So I plant one last kiss on my son's head before joining my two boys into dreamland.

Athena's P.O.V.
It's been three days since my surgery and the doctors said that my last radiation and my operation did well on me because it seems that the cancer cells have slowed down and there's already a chance in recovery. They said it was partly a miracle in my case before, they weren't expecting me to get this far. The news made my parents happy as well as me because that only means I get to stay and that really makes me happy.

And now, I'm sat on the hospital bed as my Mam and Dad packed my things. I'm really looking forward on going home. I really miss my little brother and I want to hold him so badly. I haven't seen him in a whole week and I'm craving for his presence.

"You set?" Mam asks as she sat beside me with a her dimples full on display and as I stare into those brown eyes of hers, I can see pure happiness and that's what satisfies me. I'm glad that they're happy.

"Yes Mam, Let's go already" I whined as I jump out of the bed pulling her which made a giggle release feom her lips.

"Alright, you cheeky little cow. Slow down, you've just gone from surgery." I hear Dad chuckled making me look at him as he pulled my suitcase and carry some of my things while he walk towards us.

"Come on, let's go" A wide smile form to my face and with that we walked out of the room and headed out of the hospital.

I'm somehow in relief because the paps are not swarming the entrance even though I could still see some behind the bushes as we walk towards the car but they don't matter to me at all. All I want is to go home. Mam helped me up to the backseat while Dad put my things in the trunk. Mam placed a kiss on my forehead before closing the door as she went to the passenger seat as well as Dad who started the engine and with that we're off.

As soon as we got to the house, I ran towards the front door and burst in eager to see my little brother because I really missed him so much and all I want is to hold him and never let go.
