I sat in the hospital bed cradling my baby in my arms. I gently caressed her cheek with my thumb as I stared at her closed eyes and limb body. My lips trembled as I looked at her slightly pale skin and she closed mouth.

"Hush little baby don't say a word" I mumbled quietly. "Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird." I chocked back a sob. "And if that mockingbird won't sing, daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring."

I paused, sniffling.

"And if that diamond ring turns brass. Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass."

"And if that looking glass gets broke; daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat." I rocked her gently in my arms. "And if the billy goat won't pull, daddy's gonna buy you a cart and bull."

"And if that cart and bull turn over, daddy's gonna buy you a dog named rover" I let out a short, weak laugh. "Or maybe not cause your daddy's allergic to dogs." I muttered as I looked at Shawn who was asleep in the chair besides the bed.

"And if that dog named river won't bark, daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart." I bite my lip and closed my eyes as a tear softly fell down my cheek and dropped onto her small cold hand. "And if that horse and cart fall down..."

I let out a sob which should have startled her but it didn't.

"You'll still be the sweetest baby all around." I curled over as I pulled her close my chest and screamed crying.

My body shook as Shawn's soft hand was placed on my shoulder comforting me as he brought me and my baby into a hug but I didn't want him. I wanted my baby.
