20. What happened?
Hadeon p.o.v
Chris 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

The Baby Programme 21. Bad news
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
The Baby Programme 22. Our little fighter
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
The Baby Programme 23. An old friend
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
The Baby Programme 24. Milestones and Troubles
Hadeon p.o.vThe next day it was Sunday, which meant a relaxing day. Only, thought our little Alice different about that. The whole day she was whining and crying. Not for a long time but for short times during the day she would make a sound of discomfort.James pointed out she was sucking on more and more things. You really had to watch what you were going to put in her grabbing range. Everything she could get her little hands on would find its way in her mouth.Late in the afternoon, it wasn't for a short time she whined she kept going as she rubbed her cheeks furiously."What do you think is wrong honey?" I asked James. "Hmmm, I don't know. I think I'll get the book." He mused. Of course, he would getthebook. It was a book about babies, from the day they were born until they turned one year old. It was like his bible for everything concerning our baby girl.Then I heard him yell something. "Of course!" I hea
The Baby Programme 25. A mistake
Hadeon p.o.vOur baby girl had grown so much these past weeks, she was with us. A couple of days ago we found out she was teething and she said her first words. Now she was crawling around the house very successfully. First, she had trouble with it and after one foot she would stop. Now she could cross the living room and still not be tired.I had taken the day off as James had to pay a visit to his late father's company. He still owned shares of the company so once a year he had to join a meeting with all the businessmen who owned shares of the company. I didn't mind because I had now a whole day alone with my daughter.She was sitting in the middle of the living room and I was trying to get her to crawl over to me. "Come here Alice, come to papa," I coaxed her. She looked at me with her big eyes and said, "Dada, dada." I smiled, it always gave me butterflies in my stomach when she said that. "Yes papa, come to papa."She made her way ov
The Baby Programme 26. A new friend?
Hadeon p.o.vI didn't get why James was so upset. She wasn't alone that long. He is just a neat freak and a control freak. The moment things don't go his way he gets agitated and starts yelling at people. I didn't do anything wrong. I rubbed my hands over my face. I was frustrated and I needed a drink. I opened one of my cabinets and got my whiskey and my glass out.First I needed to cool down and then talk to him. It was something I had learned when I worked on my anger issues. I would apologize and then explain the situation, if I had done that it was all up to James. If he would make up or stay mad at me.The thing that frustrated me the most was that James thought I didn't care for our daughter. I loved my princess. I would do anything for her. I just didn't see the harm in letting her be alone for a couple of minutes.I finished my drink, but I wasn't cooled down enough so I got myself another one. I needed a backup plan if he doesn'
The Baby Programme 27. Mary
Hadeon p.o.vWhen I got home from work I heard a female voice coming from the living room. I hung up my coat, set my suitcase down on the floor, and made my way over to the living room. There I saw Mary and James having tea together while the little girls were playing with all the toys around them.I knew certainly then that James and I bought too many toys for our little princess. I made a mental note to not buy any new ones for the time being.When my presence became known to the people in the room all the attention was on me. "Hadeon? You are home quite early." James commented.I walked up to him and kissed his head. "Yes, and that is a problem because?""It's not a problem, I just noticed. That's all. I am glad you are home early for a change." I could hear clearly the undertone of his words. I knew he had trouble with me being home late from work since we had Alice.After I had greeted my h
The Baby Programme 28. Going on a trip
James p.o.v"Babe, can you grab more diapers please!" I heard some cursing from upstairs but didn't pay any mind to it.Hadeon was grumpy all morning because we were going to visit his family today. I partially could understand why he wasn't excited to go to his childhood home. His history with his family was rich in constant fights, discussions, and confrontations with his parents.I had a feeling he had no happy memories of them, at all. I wished he had. The few memories I have of my family, the few happy ones, always got me through difficult times. Times when I missed them the most.But because of that strong feeling of great loss, I tried hard to convince Hadeon to find a way to make peace with his father and mother.I heard my moody husband stomping down the stairs with his arms full of the last things we needed for our short trip."Here are the diapers.""Thank you, honey." I
