| Grace's P.O.V... |

When my eyes land on Savannah it's like the world stops. I look to Paul to find him with silent tears sliding down his cheeks.

Jasper helps me onto the bed that was placed in the room as Paul walks up to Savannah and looks down over the sleeping baby.

"She'll be in there until tomorrow to see how she does." Carlisle says walking up to stand beside him. "Her body temperature wasn't coming up fast enough."

Paul looks at Savannah with tears still slowly falling down his cheeks. Carlisle looks at his watch before looking at Jasper and Esme.

"We have to get going." I look at my phone to see it's almost 5:00 in the afternoon. Carlisle walks over to me and I take his stone cold hand into mine.

"Thank you so much Carlisle."

"I'm always here for you, Grace. Even when we have to move off." I smile at him gratefully. He gently kisses my forehead before taking Esme's hand and they leave.

"Get some rest Grace." Paul says walking away from Savannah.

"I'll sleep when you leave." I say yawning.

"Just get some rest." He says smiling down at me.

"Come here." I say holding my hand out to him. He takes it and kisses my knuckles. "Thank you for coming here."

"Don't thank me. I'd drop anything for you." He whispers. I look over him at Savannah just gazing over her.

It's a few minutes of silence until his phone vibrates in his pocket. He looks and sighs before answering.

"Hello?" I stand up and walk over to where Savannah is while he speaks to whoever he's speaking to. "I'm on my way Sam. Just give me a few minutes."

He hangs up and silence engulfs the two of us. He walks behind me and wraps his arms around my waist while sitting his chin on top of my head. I lean into his embrace and just watch Savannah as she sleeps with an oxygen tube in her nose, heart monitor, and so much more.

"I'll come back. Once the battle is over I'm coming here, okay?" I nod my head not knowing if I can trust my voice or not. "I love you."

"I love you." I turn around in his arms and hug him tightly. I catch of a whiff of his woodsy and coffee smell. He places his head in the crook of my neck. "Come back to me."

"I promise." He whispers as we finally let go. "One of the younger wolves are gonna come to the hospital just to make sure you and Savannah are safe."

"Okay." I yawn as he smiles softly. He kisses my forehead and looks back at Savannah before leaving. "It looks like it's just gonna be you and me, Savvy."

I place my hand on the plexi-glass and watch as her eyes open. She looks around curiously as a nurse walks in.

"Is she awake?" The nurse asks me.

"Yeah." I say not looking up from Savannah's brown eyes. She starts crying when the nurse checks all the machines.

"You can feed her if you want?" The nurse says holding out a bottle filled with milk.

"How?" I ask confused.

"Through these holes. They're for your hands." She says pointing at the two holes the size to a hand on the other side of the incubator. I take the bottle from the nurses hand then walk to the other side and place my hands through the holes.

I feel silent tears flow down my cheeks when I touch her cold fingertips. When I start to feed Savannah, her tiny hand clenches around my finger.

"I love you." I whisper to Savannah. "Mommy loves you with all her heart."

Tears steadily flow down my cheeks when I finish feeding her and I gently allow my finger to softly touch her cheek.

"Knock, knock?" I hear a voice say bringing me out of my thoughts. I look up and find Kim who's smiling softly at me. She walks up beside me and looks down at Savannah. "How long will she be in there?"

"I don't know." I whisper. She wraps an arm around my shoulders.

"Paul, told me you haven't rested yet."

"No, not yet." I say before a yawn comes. "I just don't want to yet."

"I completely understand, Grace. You just need to sleep though. I'll watch over her. Get some sleep." I look at Savannah before doing as she says.
