Brad's POV;

I sat, holding a sobbing Zoe in my arms. Her body rose and fell with each cry, while tears silently poured out of my eyes. I couldn't do anything, but sit on the floor and wish it was a prank. Some sick prank. People walked past, staring at us. They hadn't just lost their beautiful baby girl, so they can shove off. I couldn't put into words how I feel, I don't know how I feel. Why her? Why our princess? Cleo was the sweet innocent one, the baby who rarely cried...And now she was gone.
Atleast she wasn't in pain, I wouldn't be able to cope if she'd have been hurting. All that commotion was happening and I just wanted her to be with us. Holding her, even if she was dying; I wanted her to pass away in my arms. But she didn't. 
A parent should never have to bury their child.

"Shhh Zoe" I hum into her ear "Calm down please princess, we need to make sure Scarlett is okay" I say, releasing her from my grip. She stays clinging onto my shirt, crying slowly. I wipe the tears on her cheeks, but more replace them. 
"I want Cleo" She states simply, Looking at me. I shake my head, my hair falling over my face slightly. Her face was wet and red, and tears were still falling from her eyes.
"We can't have her princess, She was needed somewhere else, and we can't change that. But now, theres an angle up there who has a beautiful baby girl. She'll be getting looked after and she won't be in pain. We need to get through this, as a family okay? Me and you, we can do this. We'll make sure she gets the funeral she deserves...Cleo's happy up there, I just know it." I say, my heart breaking when i see more tears leaking from her eyes.

"Sorry, It's best if you don't come in here" Nurse Windsor says as we push open the door. I look at Zoe, who was staring at Cleo's cot, her body still there "No one's came to collect Cleo yet" she looks so apologetic. 
"I want to see Cleo" Zoe says again, shuffling into the room. The nurse looks at me, before sighing and looking away. 
"Just this once" She says, turning away and looking at he desk. Zoe practically runs over to her, and yet again more tears fall from her eyes. I walk over, placing my arm over her shoulder, glancing at Cleo. 
"My sweet Baby Girl" Zoe whispers, placing her hand into Cleos small fist. I flinch; i didn't like the idea of her doing this. Cleo should be allowed to rest in peace, not with us sobbing over her body. I look at the nurse who's watching us intensely, This was a bad idea. 
I look at Zoe, her eyes not leaving Cleo's little face. I pull my arm away; and walk slowly towards to doors. Ellie and Thomas need me right now. 

//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.

"Wow Ellie, look at that" I say to Ellie, pointing at the wall stickers in their room. She smiles, her doll wiggling about in her small hand. "Do you know what that is?" I say, pointing at something else.
"Fishy Fishy swim" She smiles, giggling at herself.
"Yeah well done Princess," i Smile at her, she really was a special child. As much as I miss Cleo, I need to focus on these two, and scarlett obviously. 
Thomas was in my arms, Wiggling and whining. He needed feeding but Zoe wouldn't leave Scarlett's side.
"Daddy Shh Thomas" Ellie whines, stomping her foot. She could be really sassy sometimes.
"He's Hungry baby, Just ignore him" I sigh, pulling her into my lap, making sure she didn't fall into Thomas. 
"I'm hungry too Daddy" She mumbles, i close my eyes. Zoe needed to be here. I needed someone, because I can't do this alone.

Zoe was refusing to leave Scarlett, and I wasn't going back to where my baby girl died. Someone needed to make sure Ellie and Thomas were being spoilt and getting attention; and clearly Zoe didn't want to.

I could feel this was tearing us apart, but my priority was Ellie and Thomas. She needed to realise we have to healthy children here who are pining for their Mum. And they're not leaving my sight.
