Olivia stopped walking the moment she pushed the hospital door open and channeled all her energy into running down that hallway. Ever since she got that text from Amy, meeting her daughter was all she could think of. She couldn't hide her excitement and didn't realize how anxious and nervous she was until she got to the white door.
She froze.
What was she even going to say? How was Grace going to react the moment she walked into that room? Was she going to like her? Was she going to want to talk to her or was she going to think she was a murderer just like Victoria had made her believe since she was born.
Was she really going to show up in her face like that after six years and probably frighten her especially since she just woke up from a one week coma? She was scared, scared to go in all of a sudden, scared to know what her daughter thought of her.
The door opened slowly, Olivia raised her head to meet Amy's who just stared at her with a surprise look on her face.
"Why are you wet?" She whispered to Olivia trying so hard not to alert the little girl from inside. She rolled her eyes
"I'd explain everything later..." Olivia whispered back. "How is she?" Amy let out a tiny smile.
"She wants to meet you."
Olivia gulped hard the moment Amy stepped away from the door just so she could have a better chance of walking in. Olivia was really nervous now, she pocked her head into the room.
It was true. She was awake.
She let out an exasperated sigh as she saw Grace sitting still on her bed, staring into thin air with her tiny legs sticking out of her blanket. She still had a fresh set of bandaid wrapped around her head.
Amy pushed Olivia inside, making her almost bump her feet on the table which alerted Grace. She turned quickly just as Olivia stood straight, staring at her. Her hands began to tremble again.
Olivia didn't know what to do. This was the closest she had ever been to looking at her child, she could feel her breath thinning as she looked into the girl's tiny brown eyes, tears welling up the more in hers.
Grace stared at Olivia for a minute like she was trying to evaluate her appearance from where she stood. It was obvious she was shocked too. Did she remember? Did she know who she was? Those questions kept flooding Olivia's head.
"Mum?" Olivia held her breath. She let out a teary chuckle and then rushed to the bed as fast as she could. She sniffed, grabbing Grace's hands fast, turning her side by side.
"Are you okay? Do you still feel any pain?"
She slowly reached for her chin, raised it and gently turned it side by side too, carefully observing. Grace let her, surprise evident in her eyes
"She's fine." Amy assured her. "The Doctor already checked on her."
Olivia let out an exasperated sigh. She pulled her hands down Grace's arm and then squeezed her hands gently, hoping she didn't scare her already.
