Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 66

Dad and I walk in the ICU and towards Max's bed to see Katy, mam and Garry having a chat. They turned to us when they felt our prescence. I walk towards Katy and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I pull away to see her looking at dad making me smile.

"Dad..Here's Katy, my girlfriend.." I said as I held her hand and she squeezed it. Dad walked over to us with a smile on his face putting Katy at ease.

"Hi pet, Nice to meet you.." He gave Katy a kiss on the cheek and it made Katy sigh in relief. She then pulled us in front of her and snaked her arms around us.

"She's beautiful.." Dad whispered making me smile as she run his fingers through her hair. I swallowed the lump forming on my throat as I watch the scene..This is not how I imagine dad would meet Max..Not in this kind of way.

"She's got your lips Cheryl.." He looked at us with glassy eyes making me melt. I never thought dad would be this happy. I turn to see mam and Garry staring at dad in awe making a small smile crept on my lips.

"Hi princess, grandad's here..You know,you should wake up soon so we could meet properly..." He sat by the stool beside the hospital bed and carefully held Max's hand..

"What's her name again?"

"D-Diana Maxene.." He smiled at that and planted a kiss on her hand and this just brought tears in my eyes.

"That's a beautiful name.." He whispered as he stare at my daughter...It never cross my mind that this would happen..Its like my family's complete and I'm really happy about it, I really am..But there's just one missing.. Max's true prescence.

Its the day of the performance and I'm actually nervous..We left the hospital hours ago with mam, dad and Garry. The girls are here with us. I'm going on full show and I'm worried on how I can get tgrough without actually getting emotional cause honestly, all I ever think about is Max...And I don't feel well today at all. I'm really not in the right state to do the show but I'll try my best to. Cause if Max is awake, she wouldn't want me to miss any shows. I'm gonna do this for her.

I'm ready for the show when Simon walked in my dressing room with a sigh. I turn away from his sad stare cause I really don't want to tear up right now.

"Cheryl are you sure you want to co-"

"I'm sure Simon.. I'll be fine.." I hear him sigh and he rest his hand on my shoulder making us look up to him.

"Okay, 5 minutes till the show..I'll see you." He gave us a small smile and I returned it. With that he turns and walked out of the room. I look myself at the mirror and I hate what I see..I'm not suppose to be here bit still it is needed..I took a deep breath and close my eyes just to be in silence for a minute.

I love you Max..This is for you..

"You'll be okay...You'll get through." Katy whispered planting a soft kiss on Cheryl's hand and it made Cheryl feel a bit better.

"3...2...and go." Katy let go of Cheryl's hand and start to strum her guitar that sends cheers around the studio. And when her que was on, Cheryl starts to sing.
