Hi guys this chapter has a lot of Point of View (POV) changes so please bear with me. I hope you all are enjoying Hidden. -A

Mia's POV

The elevator ride is quiet and I think Zaphrina has fallen asleep. Harry stands next to me and I can feel his eyes on me every so often. The doors open and I move Zaphrina so she's cradled in my arms like a baby. Only two and she had to see her mother being murdered even worst is what she went through when she was in the infirmary.

I walk into the quiet cafeteria and i try to reach for a tray till Harry stops me. My body tingles with every second his hand is on my shoulder. We walk down the line and he places random items of food on the trey.

"What happened?" he says and I look down at the sleeping beauty in my arms. "Please, I-I just want to know why you came back and how you ended up being a mother within 4 months. We move to a table near the window and I look out at the raining night.

"Do you want me to hold her while you eat?" he reaches for her and I feel this overwhelming pain and panic if I let her go. I cover my eyes as I feel the sobs start. Harry turns and wraps his arms around me and I don't know if it's the lack of energy or I'm emotional but I don't pull back.

"It was so bad, so so terrifying I thought I was going to die." He starts to rock me in his arms and I hold Zaphrina tighter. "They turned on us, they turned against each other and started killing each other. I ran and she was trapped in a corner, I was so scared they hurt her. Blair was just laying on the bed and that filthy fuck was going to kill Zaphrina too. I-I didn't know what to do I tried to help them all but none listened. Noah told me to shut the portal and get the hell out and i did. I didn't know where I was going I was so scared."

I try to keep my voice down and try not to let tears drop on Zaphrina. "I tried your place after we left the store but a woman said you had left a few days ago and I panicked I-I didn't want to be alone I was so scared. Oh god what if it was my fault what if i-,"

"Stop, stop Mia look at me every things okay now, look at her. You have to leave the past and be strong for her and yourself or all you did to protect her will go to waste." He wipes the tears from my cheek and I look at him in the eyes and I see the green eyes I've deathly missed. His touch his voice his everything. I close my eyes as he caresses my cheek.

My eyes spring open when I feel his lips on mine. I pull back and shake my head. I can't I won't this isn't right. "Harry I can't." he frowns and looks down and shakes his head.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me." he stands and picks up the tray. "I'll help you take this to the room." I nod and we're standing awkwardly in the elevator.

I look down and her tiny hands grasp my shirt. I'm here always will be. I say to her in my mind and she smiles in her sleep. I brush my cheek against hers and kiss her cheek.

Harry's POV

Mia and the little girl lay on the small sofa, Mia holds Zaphrina so close I almost wish it was me. What they have been through is just mess. I look at my clock and its 11 pm. The rain hasn't subsided. A nurse walk in and wakes Lydia and tells her when she's ready she can go home with Avery.

"Should we wake them or leave in the morning?" Lydia ask and Mia look beat, dead tired. Lydia goes back to sleep when I tell her to wait till the morning.

Mia's POV

I wake to a loud thunder and look next to me and see Zaphrina stretching. I look around and see Harry sleeping in the recliner and Lydia the turn over. I look at Avery and see she's awake.
