Chapter 36: ever after

Joseph's pov;

I woke the next morning to find myself in an uncomfortable position. Sleeping in a hospital chair isn't that great.

I headed toward the bathroom to rinse my face. I had only stayed at the hospital for one night but considering how I came in, I could use a real shower.

I decided to go see my daughter. I still hadn't come up with a name yet but a few were stuck in my head.

I entered the nursery & headed toward her crib. She was awake & squirming. I picked her up gently & rested her against my chest.

I kissed the top of her delicate head while I swayed back & forth & started to hum a tune.

I found it to be the song I wrote for Veronica. I missed her a lot.

It didn't help being in the same building as her yet not being able to see her. Not the doctors orders, but hers.

I continued to hold my baby girl because at this point in time, she was all I had left.

"Mrs. Harding would like to see you" the nurse said to me

"She would? Me? Are you sure?" I asked trying to not sound too shocked although I'm almost positive I failed

"Yes" she chuckled walking me toward her room

"Here you go" she opened the door

"Thank you" I smiled

I closed the door behind me. I pushed past the curtain & found myself sitting in the same chair I had sat in for hours, praying that Veronica would wake.

"Hey.." I smiled lightly

"Hey" she grinned

"The nurse said you wanted to see me?"

"Yeah. I've thought a lot about what you said.."

"You have?"

"Yes. And I agree. She's our child. We need to be there for her"

"We still can be.." I reached for her hand

"I know..that's what I wanted to talk to you about"

"Joseph, you know I love you. So much. I can't begin to explain how great my love for you is. And I don't want something so small to ruin what we have"

My breath hitched at her words.

"I know that what you did may have been wrong, but you weren't the only one. Not saying I cheated on you or anything, I just my have acted out about it in the wrong way. I should've listened to you. I shouldn't be so stubborn all the time. You deserve someone who is willing to go through hell & back with you & frankly, I'm willing to be that person"

"Veronica.." I began

"No, don't say anything. Just kiss me"

I wasted no time in doing so. My lips met hers right as the words left her chapped lips.

My fingers wound up in her hair & she cupped my face. Her hands shaking uncontrollably.

Soon it ended & I was already wanting more. I missed her kisses, her hugs, her laugh, her smile, her. I missed her.

"I'm so sorry" I stroked her cheek softly

"It's okay. We all make mistakes but sometimes, it just takes someone who's willing to see past your flaws & accept you for who you're aspiring to be" she smiled

"God I love you so much"

"But I love you even more"
