Forever my cheerleader

I cant forgive myself

Beaus PoV

Brooke walks into the waiting area. She locks eyes with me and just shakes her head as I stand up watching her walk down the hallway. How did I forget our baby girl in the car? I want to tell her how sorry I am. But I'm speechless because I cannot believe that I done this. I done this to our beautiful baby girl. We have wanted a baby for years...and finally we get two beautiful children and I forget one of them in the damn car. How long was I away for? 15 minutes...I parked the car, walked round to the pharmacy and I had to wait for my order...it couldn't have been longer than 15 minutes.

I can't look at Beau...I don't understand this. I'm sitting next to her in the waiting room, waiting to see Danielle. My heart is pounding and for the first time in a long time...I'm furious with Beau. "What happened?" I whisper trying to pull back how annoyed I am but failing. "I don't know Brooke...I...was on the phone and...migraine and ....i forgot. I ....i forgot" she places her head down into her hands as I clench my jaw and lean back. "Mrs and Mrs James. Danielle is ready for release, if you can come with me" I close my eyes and sigh, thankful that our little girl is ok. "Mrs James, the police have some questions from you" she places her hand out to stop Beau as I look between them. Beau nods as the nurse turns and walks away from us. "Beau?" I whisper but she refuses to look at me, she just replies "take her home...I'm sorry Brooke".

After what feels like hours...Beau finally walks through the door. She takes one look at me holding Danielle and asks "is she ok?". "She's alright" I reply finding it really hard to understand how this happened. "I'm sorry Brooke. I don't...I don't understand how I let this happen. I....its just been such a busy day...and I had Quinn on the phone and my head was pounding... I just wasn't thinking" I can see Beau is beating herself up...but I still can't shake how annoyed I am at her. Before I can reply Davis cries from down the hall. I stand up with Danielle in my arms and walk towards the twins room, past Beau who places her hands out to take Danielle. "I got her" I whisper walking straight past her with Danielle against my chest...we could have lost her.

I spent most of the night unable to sleep. Sitting in the back yard going over the day in my head. How horribly it went wrong. Then at some point I took myself to our bedroom to find it empty. Turning and walking down the hallway I tried the spare bedroom door and of course it was locked. I don't blame Brooke for being annoyed at me...I really fucked up. So I took myself to our bedroom and finally at some point fell asleep. To wake up to an empty home...there's no sign of Brooke or the twins.

"It could have been really bad, Haley" I look down at Danielle perched on my hip as we look over at the new cafe in town. Since opening they have stolen our chef and now they have hung a large sign saying 'Karen's cafe hires murderers' taking a swipe at Haley getting Dan to help us the other day. I don't know how she's so ok with it. "If nobody had noticed Danielle, it could have been really bad" I repeat looking down at Davis perched on the other hip. "You know, I understand forgetting your phone or your keys or forgetting to turn off the curling iron, but your own baby? Who depends on you for everything" I rant swaying back and forth looking at my sister in law. "Brooke, the important thing to remember is that Danielle is ok. She looks like she's more than ok" Haley smiles as I inhale "I know...I know. Hey can I ask why Dan has been around?". "It's temporary. He needed help for a little while. I ... I know what he done...and I'll never forgive him for that...but...I just can't not help" she turns and leans against the table as I walk over next to her "we're gonna have to do something about that stupid sign".

My sneakers crunch on the glass as I walk up to my car still sitting where it was yesterday. Looking up at the sun...I can't believe I left her in there...the heat of the car. Her car seat sits in the back seat, the pink blanket lying on the car seat. I'm a terrible parent. I thought I would be a great parent...that I would keep them safe and let them be whoever they wanted to be...to show them love...unconditional love. And instead...I nearly hurt our daughter...I nearly cost us our daughter. Leaning my hands on the door I lean forward biting down on the inside of my cheek to stop the tears.
