DANIEL finally woke up sometime during the early hours of the morning. Jonah hadn't shut an eye, so it was a fast process of getting the nurses.

"W-where am I?" Daniel groaned. He was afraid after being swarmed with nurses. But once that they saw that he was okay, they left him to rest after a few pills.

"J-Jonah..." Daniel barely kept his eyes open. "My-my baby... please tell me she's okay." He said with a tired voice. "She is, she's right here." Jonah pointed over to the incubator.

"What?!" Daniel immediately looked down, not seeing his bump. "I-I gave birth?" He asked in confusion. "You had an emergency c-section while you were unconscious."

"What... why—" he looked dizzy. "Why's she in that thing?" He spoke weakly. "She's premature Daniel... they said she was having breathing problems." Jonah could barely muster up the courage to explain everything to him.

"B-breathing problems?" Daniel shook his head. "Jonah, I wanna see her!" He cried out. "Okay, okay..." Jonah gently rolled her over.

"Get her out! That's my daughter, I wanna hold her!" Daniel began to get hysteric. "Daniel you can't..." Jonah's voice broke. "She's too weak."

Daniel's whole lower half still felt numb. He couldn't even lift a finger. All he could do was cry. "I can't even hold my own daughter... I-I couldn't even hear her first cry... I missed it, all of it."

"Daniel..." Jonah tilted his head to the side, tears streaming. "No." Daniel spat. "This is all your fault." His voice dripped with hate. "Please don't say that—"

"I fucking hate you!" Daniel screeched. Just before Jonah could release another cry, a nurse entered. "Mr.Frantzich? Are you ready to sort things out with the baby's birth certificate?"

Jonah cleared his throat, "uh... yeah." He used the back of his hand to wipe the tears out of his face. "So what will the name be?" She asked politely.

"Riley," Daniel paused. Maybe he should change her middle name now. Just in spite of Jonah. So he could not have anything to do with her.

"Maive Seavey." Jonah finished for him, latching onto the last thing that could relate him to Riley. Her middle name.

"Alright, I'll bring the birth certificate for you both to sign." The nurse concluded. "Actually," Daniel looked over at Jonah with hate in his eyes. "Only I will be signing it. And that's Riley Maeve spelt R I L E Y M A I V E."

What Am I is so fucking good and it gave me such What Makes You Beautiful vibes 😫
