Demi's POV


We went to the park and I sat on the bench and watched them.

They were playing tag with each other and Hazel kept coughing.

She must be coming down with a cold.

We went home and Hazel's nose was running and her breathing was heavy.

I left the girls to go and play in Carly's room and went to make tea.

I heard Hazel coughing violently then Carly shouting my name.

I ran upstairs and saw Hazel coughing like mad.

"Momma! I can't breathe!!" Hazel shouted gasping for air.

I began to panic.

Stay calm Demi.

"Ok Hazel look match my breathing." I said leaning her head against my chest.

It wasn't working.

"Momma!" Hazel cried.

"Carly, get me the phone!" I said and Carly ran off.

She brought back the phone and then I rang an ambulance.

The ambulance took Hazel into the ambulance.

"Momma, don't leave me!!" Hazel shouted.

I scooped up Carly and we got into the back of the ambulance.

I held her hand on the way to the hospital.

"It's okay, Hazel, calm down!" I reassured.

We arrived at the hospital and they took her away.

Carly cried into my neck.

"Will she be okay, Momma??" Carly asked.

"Yes of course!" I said, trying to convince her and myself.

We sat down in some chairs and I told Carly to have some sleep so she did.


It was then.

And only then, I realised.

Both Carly and Hazel called me, Momma!
