Roman & Scarlett (ON HOLD)

Chapter 43

"What happened to my child!" Scarlet said as tears began to form at the bank of her eyes.

"Sofia is Awake!" Catarina said with a big smile on her face.

"OH, My! you should have started with that...oh my baby!" Scarlet exclaimed then ran out of the room.

"Over here," Catarina said when Scarlet made the wrong turn.

When she entered the room she ran straight to the bed and began placing kisses on Sofia's forehead.

"Hey baby," Sofia said with tears running down her face, seeing her daughter's eyes open after what seemed like an eternity brought immense joy to her heart, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"Mummy," Sofia said.

"Oh baby.. mummy has missed you so much," Scarlet said.

"Don't cry mummy I've missed you too" Sofia said softly.

"Shhhh baby you need to preserver the little strength you have ok," Scarlet said and placed kisses on Sofia's forehead once more.

"We need to clean her up then get her something to eat" Catarina said.

Sofia looks at Catarina and then at her mum.

"Oh Sofia this is Catarina your doctor...she's been treating you for some days now" Scarlet said.

"Where's Daddy?" Sofia asked.

Scarlet let out a breath then held Sofia's hands and placed kisses on her hands.

"Well Daddy isn't here for now...but we would see your daddy in a few days okay," Scarlet said.

"Where are we, mummy?" Sofia asked.

"On a beautiful island I can't wait to show it to you" Scarlet said.

"Can Grandpa find us here too?" Sofia asked.

Scarlet looked at everyone in the room and then gave Sofia a small smile.

"Don't think about that now princess the most important thing is for you to get better okay...that's all that matters okay?" Scarlet said.

"Sure," Sofia said.

"Hello Sofia," Catarina said.

"Hi doctor thank you for treating me" Sofia said.

"Oh my love ill do it again in a heartbeat...you are such a strong child....thank you for being amazing" Catarina said with a warm smile on her face.

"Thank you Catarina...thank you so much...thank you" Scarlet said.

"You welcome Scarlet..... since she's awake now I'll be removing the feeding tube then you can clean her up," Catarina said.

"Sure...I'll step out for a while baby so the doctor can take care of you okay?" Scarlet said to Sofia then placed a kiss on her forehead then left the room.

Scarlet let out a breath the minute she closed the door, for the first time in a long while she felt true happiness it was as if all her burdens have been lifted, Sofia was better now and that's all the motivation she needed to face this world now.

"Heard your daughter is awake," Xavier said behind Scarlet startling her.

"OH, My!!" Scarlet screamed.

Xavier stared at her with a raised brow and his hands crossed on his chest, he was bewildered by her reaction it was almost comical to him.

"Don't sneak up on me ever again?" Scarlet said.

"I didn't sneak up on you, you're just being comical right now," Xavier said.

Scarlet scoffed and then turned away from him, he was the last person she wanted to speak to at the moment.
