Save Me From This Hell

Sophia-Grace

Catherine's (y/n) point of view

After a little while the OBGYNs took me up to the maternity ward, they made sure I was comfortable and made sure I had no issues. After they finished checking me over they gave me and Zak some space to ourselves. I feel incredibly happy that our little girl is finally here but I'm also really worried as I can't see her yet.

Zak can tell how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking, even though he's feeling the same way he did all he can to comfort me and reassure me everythings going to be OK.

Zak: "I promise Sophia is going to be OK baby, she's strong like the both of us, she won't give up"

Catherine (y/n): "I know she won't baby but I can't help but worry, she's so small and wasn't really ready to arrive"

I started to break down crying, Zak came closer to me and embraced me in his arms tight.

Zak's point of view

I'd be lieing if I say I'm feeling great, but I'm not...I'm worried about my little girl I want to see her and hold her again. That brief 5 minutes of me holding her as she entered the world wasn't long enough. As I'm holding Catherine (y/n) in my arms I can feel her relax slightly so I leaned back on the bed so we're both laying down on the bed. Within a few minutes Catherine (y/n) fell asleep and got some rest.

As I was relaxing the OBGYNs came into the room.

OBGYN: "oh, sorry I didn't know she was sleeping I'll come back later"

Zak: "wait, has there been any news on our baby?"

OBGYN: "I've just heard from ICU she's doing great, she is a little poorly but in a few weeks she should be able to go home"

A huge wave of relief hit and I finally relaxed.

Zak: "can we see her?"

OBGYN: "of course you can, as soon as Catherine (y/n) wakes up I'll take you up to see your little girl"

Zak: "thank you so much, but can I be cheeky... Can you take me up to see her now please"

OBGYN: "of course, follow me"

So I followed the OBGYN up to  intensive care and she took me over to see my baby girl. As I saw Sophia laying in the crib I felt a wave of relief again.

Zak: "can I touch her?"

OBGYN: "only her hands and head please"

Zak: "thank you"

I didn't care if I couldn't touch her properly at least I can hold her little hands. I didn't care if I sounded stupid or awkward, I began talking to Sophia.

Zak: "Hey Sophia, daddy's here. Just keep fighting strong baby and you'll soon be able to come home with mommy, daddy and you can finally meet your big brother Cody. Everybody is going to love you"

Just as I'm talking to Sophia she held  my finger with her hand and she squeezed it tight. I felt my heart burst with nothing but joy and love. That's my little girl.

After a few minutes I had to leave Sophia again and return to Catherine (y/n) but before I did, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and I took a photo of Sophia.
