Destiny

Chapter 16

A/N: For those who read Chapter 15 I went and changed the part of Lucas holding the baby to him not being able to hold her yet because that's typically how it is and I wanted to be accurate. 

Maya POV

I awoke in my hospital room to Lucas sleeping beside my bed. My mom was also here sitting on her iPad at the table that was here in my room. When she noticed I was awake she walked over to me and sat down on the edge of the bed.  

"Mom, what happened?" I said groggily. 

"You lost some blood and blacked out but you are going to be okay, baby girl." she said as she brushed some hair out of my face. "They gave you a transfusion so you should be feeling better soon." 

"Where is my baby?" I said and I started to panic. 

"Shh, calm down. Kinleigh is in the NICU they need to keep her there until she gets stronger. From what Lucas said she's going to be fine. "

"I want to see her." I said as I started to cry. 

"Maya you need to calm down. We will see what we can do about you seeing her in a couple days. For now you need to rest. " she replied. 

Lucas woke up when he heard me crying and seemed alarmed "Maya, whats wrong?" he said as he sat up in the chair. 

"I want to see my baby." I said as the tears ran down my face. 

Lucas got up from the chair and my mom moved so he could sit down beside me. He cupped my cheeks with his hands and made me look at him as he wiped the tears away. He leaned in and gave me a kiss which immediately caused me to relax once I eased into it. 

"First of all you need to relax for me. Secondly when they say you are allowed to leave this bed the first thing I'm going to do is take you to see our daughter." he replied and I looked into his beautiful green eyes and smiled at him. 

"What did they say about her? Is she going to be okay?" I sniffled. 

"Maya, she is perfect. I haven't got hold her yet. They gave her a PICC line so that she can be fed right though the IV line. They say that this will be better for her until you can feed her. We talked before that you wanted to breast feed so that's what I told them." he said with a smile. "They are going to have you start pumping breast milk because by the end of the week they are going to start administering it through her PICC line. 

"But she is going to be okay?" I asked. 

"Yes, she's going to be just fine. Her lung seem to be good but they say she will probably be in here for awhile so that she can get stronger and that her immune system can also grow a little more. I took a bunch of pictures for you." he said as he pulled out his phone. 

I took Lucas iPhone from him and smiled as I looked at the pictures of our baby girl. She was absolutely beautiful and so tiny. I was so in love with her and couldn't wait to see her. It was going to be so tough being a way from her but at least Lucas could go down and see her so she'd have one of us with her. 

"Look how little she is." I said with a smile as a tear slipped down my cheek. " Her little hands and feet are so tiny." 

"She's a fighter like her Mommy. I think I'm going to be doomed having another Maya round." he joked. 

I laughed in between the tears "That's right her and I are going to make the best team trolling Daddy as much as we can." 

He  looked at me with a smile and rolled his eyes "There's that smile I love." he said as he wiped the tears off my cheeks. "I love you, and wouldn't trade you trolling me for the world. Just don't corrupt her too bad."
