Aurora sped to the front doors of the big hospital she was all to familiar with. The smell of bleach and death was normal to her now since she'd come and visit Desmond often during his break time at work.

"He's over at the family birth center dear" the receptionist smiled at Aurora.

She liked hanging out at the hospital. She had made friends which she hadn't in a while and it felt good to feel like a part of society again.

"What's he doing over there? He's a surgeon" Aurora asked confused.

"He's got a c-section tomorrow and he's meeting with the patient" the receptionist replied. "He should be in his office soon.

Aurora couldn't wait though. She wanted to tell Desmond that her father had called. "Thanks" she said as she headed over to the birth center.

She hadn't realized that she set herself up for devastation. Perhaps it was better that she wait in Desmond's office. Many expecting women wobbled around with their big belly's, some with their new bornes in arms already and they all seemed so... complete. She felt anxiety rise quick, she wanted to get away from all these triggering issues. Her insecurities getting the best of her and she was trying her best to remain calm.

She rushed to the elevator and pressed the second floor button repeatedly trying to get away from the happy ladies. To her relief the elevator was quick to take her there and soon she was looking for Desmond.

Aurora stopped at the receptionist office of the second floor and handed the lady the lunch bag. "My boyfriend is discussing a c-section right now with a patient but could you get this to him? It's his lunch"

The unfamiliar receptionist sighed and took the lunch bag. "What's your boyfriends name?"

"Desmond Lance. He's dr.Lance the surgeon over at the trauma center"

"Great, I'll get this too him" she smiled.

"Thank you" Aurora turned on her heels and walked back the other direction.

"And what may I do for you two today?" The receptionist said to the next person.

Aurora's head whipped back as she heard the deep familiar voice that contained an accent. She was sure it was him.

His hair in a bun, the white t-shirt, the skinny jeans, the boots. No one else but him. Harry glanced at Aurora knowing it was her already. He could spot her like the only fish in the sea. If he kept his stare it would attract Jannes to look in his direction. She'd try to recognize her face but with Harry's evident smirk she'd know it was Aurora.

Aurora quickly walked in the direction of the elevators to try to get away, to try not to break. He was here at the birth center with Jannes and it could only be for one thing. What she couldn't give to Harry.

"Baby I'm going to go to the bathroom, text me when they call you in" Harry said excusing himself.

Jannes grabbed Harry's wrist before he could walk away. "Why are you leaving? They're going to call me soon, I want you to be there"

"I know, call me when they do, I got to go" Harry pulled his wrist away from her grip and walked the direction Aurora had disappeared.

He stopped when he reached the end and the only thing around were the elevators and her.

"Wait!" He yelled out running to her. The elevator opened as Aurora got in one and tried to leave. As the heavy doors were about to close his hand stuck in between causing them to open up again.
