Ms. Collin's POV

I opened my eyes, trying to forget the night i went to Aaron's apartment to tell him I was pregnant, but I wonder what coud've been if I didn't cower that night.  Would Lilith still be in this mess?  Would her Charles have broken off all communication with me?  Would Aaron or Harry still be alive? 

I opened my eyes, feeling the spot on the mattress next to me sink.  I felt her warms arms wrap around my waist, I held onto her hands with mine.  Oh God, how I have waited for this. 

"Rest your eyes, rest your eyes."  She croaked out, and I couldn't stop the tears that came for nth time today.   

"What a blessing you can be," I tried singing back to her as I shifted my body to face hers, I studied her face, her brown eyes red and filled with tears, her cheeks were stained with dried ones, pulling a stand of hair off her face and behind her ear. 

She did have a bit of Aaron in her, just like I wanted her to. 

"When you wake, when you wake" We sang together, her head in my neck as I held her close to me like I used to when she was a little clumsy girl.  My little clumsy girl.

"Strong and beautiful you'll be." I sang to her, kissing her head as I felt her tears on my neck.

"Next to me, next to me."  We finished.  She looked at me with those brown eyes of hers, as I wiped her tears.  "I love you so much momma, you deserve better."  She said, sadness in her voice, I shock my head. 

"I never want better, I will always want you baby.  I love you so much, that I wish I could give you the world and more."  I sadly said.

"But you have momma."  She laid her head on my chest and wrapped her arms around my chest, while I put one hand on the back of her head and the other wrapped around her body.  Still in our embrace we fell asleep, her on top me while me on the bottom. 

In this moment we let go our mistakes and forgot our past as if this is the only place where we could truly escape.

......

I woke up that morning, with a stiff neck, but I didn't feel Lilith next to me.  I stretched my body, a yawn escaping my mouth as I sat up in bed, I rubbed my face trying to wake myself up more but I knew that wouldn't happen unless I went downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee.  The cold floor made me shiver as I stepped on it, quickly grabbing my robe to head downstairs. 

I opened her door but noticed she wasn't there.  I felt my heartbeat quickening as the worst thoughts came to mind, what if she left to go find Charles and talk to him?  Or what if he snuck in during the night?  But I would've felt that if he did, right?  I heard a slight whistle come from downstairs, I started to panic, what if an intruder was in the house? 

Oh god, where is Lilith. 

I quietly made my way downstairs, scared to make any noise, but as I peeked around the corner I saw her dark brown hair and instantly relaxed. 

"What are you doing?" 

"Just came down here to make some coffee and say goodbyes, you?"  Her voice soft, she looked at me with those vulnerable eyes of her.   She looked as though she might cry any moment now, she was trying to hold it in.
