MAYA'S P.O.V.

"Mommy!" I heard a little girl's voice call out. Somehow, I knew she was calling for me. I looked around me and realized I was in a maze.

"Mommy!" she called again, more frantically this time.

"I'm coming!" I yelled. I continued running, tripping over my feet at some points.

"Quickly!!" she screamed. I felt like I was getting closer to the voice. To my daughter.

I almost reached the little girl's voice when there was a blood curdling scream.

I opened my eyes and jolted up in bed, screaming. Harry sat up almost as quickly as I did.

"Maya!" he said putting his hand on my shoulder.

I put my hand on my forehead and wiped off the sweat that had formed. I looked at my hand and put it on the bed, right on top of Harry's leg. I was breathing heavily, or shuddering rather. I rocked back and forth, trying to gain back my sense of reality.

"Nightmare?" he asked softly. I only nodded and felt the familiar lump in my throat and I small tear fell from my right eye. Harry noticed and put his arms around me, gently rubbing my back and arm. He pulled me back to lay down with him and he whispered things to me, his face inches away from mine.

"Shh... you want to tell me about it?" he pulled some hair out of my face and pecked me on my lips.

"There... there was a little girl... and she was calling me mommy..."

Harry nodded and continued brushing my hair out of my face; rubbing my arm.

"And she screamed before I could get to her. A bad scream..."

"Maya..." Harry whispered, pulling me closer to him.

"It was bad..."

"Shh..." Harry cooed and I started to calm down. He kissed me around my face and I closed my eyes, cuddling back into his chest, trying to find some kind of reassurance that I was okay. I felt like I was getting better. I knew it was going to take a while, but I was getting there.

The next morning, Harry and I woke up together and he smiled at me.

"Good morning lovely," he whispered before kissing me on my lips. I smiled and ran my hand through his hair as he twined his legs into mine.

"Mmm..." I hummed as he kissed my forehead.

"Don't you love mornings?" he whispered.

I nodded and rested my head on his collarbone, inhaling his natural vanilla scent. I got a small wave of butterflies in my stomach and he started to rub my back again. I moaned happily and nuzzled my head back into his chest.

When we finally decided to get up, Harry rolled out of bed first, but I just sat cross legged on top of the sheets. I didn't want to go back into my closet yet.

"Are you getting changed?" Harry asked.

I shook my head, "I'll wait..."

He nodded and disappeared into his closet. I looked around our room and fixed our sheets as best as I could with me sitting on top of them. Harry came back in a pair of jeans and a dark blue shirt. I smiled at him.
