Hadeon p.o.v
There she was, comfortable in my arms with her curious gaze, looking at us. She was the most precious thing I had ever seen. This was worth the wait. Alice was perfect. I hold her little hand and kissed it, just like James did. She then made a sound that would be imprinted in my memory forever, she giggled.
I looked at James and he looked at me and we both shared a smile. This is it, our little family. I bounced her a bit, which caused her to get sleepy. A tiny yawn escaped from her mouth. How adorable she was.
We were so entranced with our baby girl that we didn't notice Jim trying to say something to us. "Sorry Jim, you were saying?" I asked. He chuckled. "No apologies needed but if you want to adopt that little cutie over there we need to go over some papers. Then you can spend as much time as you want with your daughter.
"Yes of course Jim," I said as I laid the little munchkin down in her crib. A frown appeared on her fa
James p.o.vIt was late. It was already after seven in the evening and we were just done with our dinner. I wanted Alice in bed by seven-thirty but we won't make it, I think. I had read somewhere it was better to do something between dinner and sleep, something that reminded her of bedtime.As we were done with cleaning up it was seven thirty-five. I sighed, but then again it was a special day and we were all trying to settle in. So it wouldn't make me a bad parent if she went to bed a bit later, right?When I looked over at our little girl I saw that Hadeon was trying to get her fingers out of her mouth and put a pacifier in. He was very keen on getting everything away from her mouth, except her pacifier."Shall we put her to bed honey?" Hadeon asked me. "Yes, but we can't put her straight away in her crib," I responded.Hadeon looked at me with a puzzled face, "Why?""Because I read it was better to do something with her t
Hadeon p.o.vThe whole crying incident was quite the scare. Just as we thought we got the hang of it, this happened. James was all over the place. He felt bad because he couldn't comfort his little girl like her daddy. Having a distressed husband and a crying daughter was a lot to handle, but in the end, we both managed. After coaxing James to call Jim, our little girl became calm. James refused the first three times I had suggested it. He kept saying that we had to be able to calm her down. Then I had to explain to him she wasn't an ordinary baby and that maybe Jim knew what was going on and he did. With the help of Jim, she was finally quiet and was now sucking on her pacifier.During breakfast and after her first nap of the day she acted differently from yesterday. She was less likely to put everything in her mouth as she did yesterday, but she still remained very cute. It was after her second nap we saw more of a baby of six months old. A wave of r
Alice p.o.vQuickly I tried to go one more time over the dates I had to learn for my history exam. I had studied these dates for the past three days. It was quite hard but I think I managed. No, I have managed, I can do it.You can do it, Alice. You have to...Suddenly the door of my room was opened by my stern-looking father. He had barged into my room without knocking. He looked at the papers in my hand and then back at me with his cold eyes. "Are you ready?" I only nodded my head, too scared to say something.He took the papers from my hand and walked out of the room. I followed him to his study. Fear and anxiety consumed my frail body. A body that wasn't worthy of even trying to get into the army.My mom was an MC Officer in the army, part of the medical corps. She was so proud of my brother when he joined the army. I wanted that proud look of hers too so I said I would join the army as w
Hadeon p.o.vOur little girl was now twelve days with us and I could say I was blessed. The little sunshine made our life's so much brighter. She was our missing piece all along. I had already gone back to work and it was now the job of James to watch over our little girl during the day. I was a bit jealous but coming home was so much more fun now, seeing the love of my life with my sunshine.Alice knew by now the difference between us and every time I got back she always held her arms out to me. She was just the cutest. At work I had already bragged about my little girl, sharing tons of pictures with my employees.She also managed to give us quite the scare with her ability to roll over to her belly. One time when I was changing her she almost fell off the table. I had nearly a heart attack. Once again if James knew this he would kill me, that's for sure.I was so happy with our little family. We had almost given up on having a pot
Hadeon p.o.vChris didn't think for a second. He picked Alice up and took her with him. Chris just managed to order, "Follow me." With quick steps, we followed him. We went through a maze of hallways, luckily with the guidance of Chris, we got there in just two minutes. We had reached a hospital ward where he went into one of the rooms. He had laid Alice down on the little hospital bed for babies.Chris turned to us and said with a stern expression, "Stay with her, I'm going to inform the team real quick. If anything happens push on that button and tell the nurse or doctor that comes in everything in detail what happened, understood?"We both nodded our heads and stayed with our daughter. James held her tiny, little hand and told Alice it would be okay and that daddy and papa were here. I saw how he tried to hold everything together but struggled with it. I stood behind him and put my arm around his shoulder. Letting him know I supported him and
James p.o.vThere she was, my little girl. Laying there on the hospital bed fighting for her life. How could this have happened? I was devastated, seeing her like that with all those machines around her, keeping her alive.The whole night we stayed at the bedside of our little girl. I didn't want her to be alone. She needed all the support she could possibly get for her fight and... and if she had to go if she had to leave us then... then we needed to be there. She couldn't go alone. She just could not.I had fallen asleep on Hadeon's lap, who comforted me all night until we both were too tired to stay awake. He said ensuring words to me, held me, and supported me. Without him, I would have completely broken down. Hadeon is my tower of strength.Early in the morning, we were woken up by a nurse. "Mr. Wright? Mr. Wright?" I heard. I opened my eyes and saw that everything was true and not a nightmare. I wanted to cry all over ag
Hadeon p.o.vFive days. It was five days after our little girl went into a coma and still there is no news. We visited her the next day but there wasn't much to do than look at her little, frail body that was fighting so hard to stay alive. James wanted to go every day but I convinced him otherwise. Seeing her would make him only feel even more terrible, well not only James, me as well.I started to work from home so I could watch over James. He often forgot things when he was this depressed. James had from time to time periods where he was depressed. I would take care of him and within a couple of days, he would be back to his normal, neat freak self.I made sure he ate, showered, brushed his teeth, and went to bed instead of laying on the couch all night.I kept myself busy with my work so I wouldn't think of our little girl. I know it sounds a bit harsh, but sometimes it's better to get on with life. I had made a strict schedule with m
James p.o.vAlice was now a week back with us after her stay at the hospital and we thought it would be great to take her outside to the park. She has been barely outside during her stay with us and a bit of clean air would do her good.Also, Chris said that if there weren't any irregularities with her health past week she was most likely back to normal and could live her life likewise. We were so happy, our worries gone. But still, I would at least check her temperature three times a day, just to make sure. She couldn't slip away through my fingers again.I was changing my munchkin into warmer clothes when she started to babble at me in her own little language. It was too cute. "Look at you, all ready to go to the park." I picked her up, kissed her nose, and went downstairs where Hadeon was waiting with her stroller and diaper bag."You ready honey?""Yes, and our little girl is as well," I responded. "Alright then let's go." Hade
