Apocalypse

Chapter 24

~ Uriah's POV~

I run my hands through my hair, I have too many thoughts running a marathon round my head,

What if something happens too her?
What if something happens to the baby?
What if she needs me?
Etc etc

All we can hear out here is screaming and Drew got a text from Callie earlier saying they're gonna bring her out into a private ward,
1. So that I can be with her.
2. So that the incubator is ready as the the baby is early and may need it.
3. So that other people don't get freaked out by the noise.

Drew puts his hand on my shoulder making me jump,

"Your shaking Uriah." He says his voice husky.
All I can do in response is smile and shrug, I think if I speak I'll cry.

Suddenly, the door opens, and slams onto the wall
"MOVE!" Callie shouts and I stand up fast, jogging to keep up with them, we move into a private ward and I'm told again to step outside.

4hours of pacing later, all goes silent and I hear the crying of a baby and the words I've been waiting for, for 3months "it's a girl!"
I have a niece.
I sob as I hear Hazels protests as they take it and put it in the incubator, I pull myself together and walk inside.

The first thing I see it my crying sweating sister laying on the bed, staring at the incubator next to her.
Inside the incubator is my beautiful niece wrapped in the same purple blanket I used to put Hazel in, the one we brought with us.
I lean over and hug Hazel,
"She's a special one Haze." I say into her ear,

"I know." She laughs her voice hoarse from all the screaming.

"I'm the luckiest uncle in the world."
