Josephs POV;

It had been hours since they kicked me out of Veronica's room. The doctors had left a while ago but they said I had to wait to see her. They were probably scared I would have another breakdown.

Kyle had came by after he parked the car to check up on her but he eventually left to go back home.

"Mr. Somers-Morales?" A nursed looked down at me

"Yes?" I stood up

"Veronica is in critical condition. She was in a car crash. We put her on life support because she's in a coma. We don't know exactly when she'll wake up but were hoping it will be sometime next week by the latest" she spoke softly

I tried but didn't say anything. Critical condition? Coma? My thoughts were going crazy & I couldn't think straight.

"One more thing Sir?" She brought the clipboard up into her view

"Y-yes?" I stuttered

"Ms. Harding she um, she was pregnant" she rushed

"She what? How is that even possible?" My heart sunk

"She was with child, Ms. Harding was pregnant during the incident. The baby was only 8 months" she repeated herself

I felt like I was going to faint. My body becoming weak. My head was dizzy & my vision turned fuzzy.

Pregnant. She was pregnant. I fucking cheated on my pregnant fiancé. How long did she know? When was she gonna tell me? Did she even know?

Now that I think about it, I couldn't have been any more stupid. All the signs & symptoms. They were all there. Her slight weight gain, her mood swings, her sudden cravings, her morning sickness. I never put much thought into it though. I never payed enough attention to her. How could I? My own fiancé.

"Sir are you okay?" The nurse asked helping to sit me back down

"Yeah I just- the baby. Is the baby okay?" I spoke quickly

"We had to perform a C-section to keep the baby alive" she spoke softly

"Is the baby okay?" I asked again with concern obviously present in my voice

"She's in the nursery"

"She? I have a baby girl?" My fingers ran through my hair. "Can I see her please?" I asked quickly

"Yes right this way" she started walking

The nurse walked me down a hallway. She turned down another hallway & I saw glass windows. I looked through them & saw cribs that had babies laying in them. Most of the children were sleeping while others were either crying or being fed.

"Right in here" she opened up a door

I followed her into the room. Looking around for my child. She brought me over to a pink crib that had a sheet covering it.

"Here you go" she smiled at me

"Thank you so much" I smiled back

Slowly, I lifted up the sheet cover to find my baby girl sleeping peacefully. I felt a tear come down & I couldn't stop myself.

"I'm a dad.." I whispered to myself

Reality had sunk in & I felt tears coming. I reached into the crib slowly. I placed a hand under her head softly while my arm slid under the rest of her small body & my palm supported her back. Gently I picked her up. I rocked her back & forth while staring at her adoringly.

"Hi baby girl" I whispered while I stroked her small soft cheek slowly

A tear rolled down my cheek & all I could do was smile because in my hands, I was holding my own daughter. My little girl.

"You're so beautiful" I breathed out still stroking her cheek

A small groan was all that came from her sleeping body. Knowing that I had a part in her existence was overwhelming. I created this, this child. Veronica & I. We made such a beautiful girl.

"Hey baby girl, I'm your daddy" I smiled down at my sleeping child

"Your mommy will be here to see you soon hopefully" I sniffed

Veronica. I hoped she was okay. I wish I could be with her. I wished she would wake up & we could be a happy family. I knew I had made a mistake but we had a child now. What was she going to do? Keep me from seeing her? I wouldn't blame her if she tried but I don't think she'd be able to.

"Sir, I just got news that you can go visit Ms. Harding" she smiled

"Am I allowed to bring her?" I nodded down to my child

"Not yet, she's a little less than 9 months. She's gonna need to stay here for a while. We just need to make sure she's healthy & her organs are working correctly before sending her home"

"Okay" I sighed laying her back down into the crib

"Daddy will be back soon. I love you baby girl" I whispered kissing her small forehead

I left the room & headed back toward Veronicas room. When I reached it I was cautious upon entering. I didn't know what to expect. Of course she was still sleeping.

"Veronica.." I walked toward her bed taking a seat next to her

"Veronica I'm so sorry. Really, I am. I know you probably can't hear me or understand what I'm saying but I really messed up. I don't deserve you. I wish I could take back what I've done so that we could all just be happy together. Oh yeah.. "We". Hey guess what? We have a child. Me & you, we...we made a little girl. I wish you could see her. She's so beautiful" I reached for her hand

"She has your nose" I chuckled to myself

I kissed her fist & rested my head on the hospital mattress next to her side. I closed my eyes & prayed that Veronica would wake up.

"Please, please please please" I begged while a tear fell onto my lap

I squeezed Veronicas hand lightly.

"You have to. You can't leave me. Not now. Not when our family has just started. I fucked up. So bad. I know that. But I swear, it wasn't intentional. You know I would never hurt you. It pained me enough to watch you cry. Why I do that to you purposely? Veronica, I don't care if, actually I do care, a lot..but if you don't forgive me. I understand completely. I can't even forgive myself. I don't deserve you. I was so lucky to even get a first date with you let alone a child. Just..please babe. I need you to fight. I need you to stay. For me..please" I sobbed wiping my tears with my hand that was shaking terribly

I sat there for a few more hours before deciding I should go check on my daughter. I stood up slowly kissing her small hands.

"I'll be right back babe. I promise. I need to go check on our daughter. I love you" I kissed her forehead

I walked toward the door & reached for the door handle. I twisted it slowly & stepped forward. It hurt knowing I had to leave her like this but my daughter needed me too.

"I love you, so much" I whispered

I reached for the door handle. Bringing it closer to me before I heard her voice.

(A/n)

I didn't originally plan for Veronica to live but I couldn't bring myself to make her character die. But in other news.....she was pregnant!! I tried to leave a few clues lol

Sooo now that there's a baby, anyone have suggestions for her name? I kinda suck at this

Hope you're enjoying the story! Although it will be coming to an end soon. I was gonna do a sequel but I'm still thinking about it..
