Nash Grier's Point Of View

A/N: I read somewhere that Nash, Hayes, and Will treat Nila like their mom -Hayes even called her mom once- but for this story I'm gonna call Elizabeth, "Mom" and Nila "Nila" (:

"Nash, are you sure you're okay? You haven't said a word since get got in the car." Mom asked. "I'm not okay and I won't ever be. How am I supposed to be? Am I just supposed to be okay? Am I supposed to put on a fake smile? I'm numb to all emotion, I can't tell if I'm happy or sad. I'm trying to convince myself that someday she'll wake in and hold our son like she was supposed to, but when that doesn't help me at all. I hate Emmy for leaving me. She left me, all alone. I'm alone and have no idea how I'm supposed to parent Asher. She told me that we would learn, together, and now I have to learn on my own. How is that supposed to be good for Asher? How am I supposed to smile and tell him that everything will be okay, when it won't be. What's supposed to happen when he asks about his mom? What am I supposed to tell him?" My outburst created a silence, leaving me to think.

"Hey Nash, you know what." Skylynn yawned, it being nine in the morning with about five minutes left of the forty five minute drive. "What?" I replied, trying to be nice enough though I was really frustrated. "My favorite memory of Emmy was when Emmy and Nash took Hayes and I to California." Skylynn smiled. "And you got the wind knocked out of you because of that huge wave." Hayes laughed. "Then you cried and cried and Emmy had to walk you all the way back to the hotel room." I laughed. "I can't even believe mom let y'all go." Will laughed. "Alright guys, we are here." 

"Y'all can go in, I'll get the stuff and wait here for everybody else." Mom offered.

We walked inside together, then into the NICU.

"Nash, we are going to miss Asher so much around here." Abby, one of the NICU nurses, smiled. "Yeah well I'll bring him back, don't worry." I told her. "You better." Lindsey, another NICU nurse, replied. 

"Asher did amazing on all his tests. I'm really happy to see him go home, he's a real trouper." Abby talked as she pulled out Asher.

I smiled at the sight of him. He was still so small. I missed him, I haven't seen him since yesterday and I couldn't wait to have him all day, even though it was slightly frightening, I couldn't wait. I couldn't wait to have a little piece of Emmy again. 

I held out my arms and Abby gently placed Asher in my arms. I grinned. Asher was sound asleep and I rocked him softly to keep him that way.

"I can finally take him home." I smiled. Nila, dad, mom, and Johanna, Emmy's mom, walked in.

"Hey Nash, when do I get to hold him?" Skylynn asked, looking at me with those brown eyes. "Here, sit down in the rocker and you can hold Asher." Dad jumped in. Skylynn ran and jumped on the rocker, and I followed her. "Skylynn, do you know how to hold him?" Mom asked, Skylynn nodded. "Now, baby, he is really small and fragile, be careful okay?" Mom worriedly warned her. "I know, mommy!" She nodded in approval. I put Asher gently in her arms, watching her closely. 

"Pictures!" Mom squealed. "Skylynn, smile!" She added, Skylynn smiled, a smile full of sass, and  mom snapped the picture. After Skylynn held Asher, Hayes did, then Will. After Will, Nila and mom went, then dad, and finally Johanna... And we got every possible picture. "I'll take a group one!" Abby smiled. Everybody gathered around Asher and I and Abby took the picture. 

"It's been a long time since I came around

Been a long time but I'm back in town

This time I'm not leaving without you."
