I took my hospital gown off in the bathroom near my room.
I sighed, staring at myself in the mirror. Just more baby weight to get rid of, Mia. I frowned at myself.
Michael said you're still beautiful.. How? How is he that blind? I softly sighed.
I don't think I'll ever believe it. I thought, changing into casual clothing.
After changing my clothes and fixing myself up a bit, I walked out of the bathroom, putting my brave face back on.
It's been a few days now.. I swear, Rose better be alright.
I don't know how I'd be able to handle myself loosing all of my children before me.
I slowly walked down the hall, walking towards my room. I turned my head to the right, staring into each room.
Scanning room.. Blood work room.. Birthing room...
I stopped myself as I approached hundreds of little babies.
I gulped, my eyes widening as I walked closer towards the window.
I stared at the sign beside me that read Premature Children.
I took in a sharp breath. Rose is in there..
The door opened widely as a doctor walked out.
"Are you waiting for someone, Miss?" The man kindly asked.
I shook my head, "N-No. I-I was just strolling around." I said, shaking.
The man smiled at me, "Alright. Ask around if you have any questions." He kindly said, walking away.
I sighed loudly. I do have questions.
Where's my daughter? I frowned, walking down the hall a bit more.
I ignored everyone I walked past. The disabled, nurses, the doctors, woman, everyone.
I finally approached my room. I slowly turned the door knob, dragging my feet as I entered the room.
Michael smiled at me, "There you are." He chuckled, walking closer to me.
I forced a smile, "Here I am." I faked a chuckle, opening my arms wide as Michael embraced me.
"What took you so long?" He smirked, letting me go.
I shrugged, "Just... Tired I guess. I'm sorry..." I said, feeling embarrassed.
Michael shook his head, "No, no. Don't apologize, Mia. I understand." He sweetly smiled at me, caressing my face.
I blushed. "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" I smirked, holding Michael close to me.
Michael blushed, "There are a few reasons." He said, holding onto my hands as we swayed randomly back and forth.
"Name them." I smirked, looking into Michael's eyes.
Michael chuckled, "I can't name all of them, but I'll give you a few." He smirked.
I smiled, waiting for his response.
Michael looked around the room, licking his lips.
I smiled widely, "Spit it, babe." I chuckled.
Michael smirked, "This is gonna make your day." He mumbled.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Rose is able to come home." Michael smiled widely.
I gasped, "W-What?! Really!?" I squealed, covering my mouth.
Michael chuckled, "Yeah. Our baby is coming home!" He cheered, holding me tightly.
Michael gently picked me up as he spun me around.
I giggled, "Michael, put me down! I'm too heavy for you to be lifting!" I blushed.
Michael gently put me down, "Hell, Mia! You aren't heavy at all!" He smiled widely.
I blushed more. "What are the other reasons?" I curiously asked.
Michael smirked, "You'll see.." He mumbled, turning around as he wandered around the room.
My eyes widened, "Michael, tell me now!" I giggled.
Michael blushed. "I'm still looking for the right t-"
"Michael, if you keep looking for the right time, it'll never come." I firmly said, interrupting him.
Michael smirked, "Okay, okay..." He breathed, walking closer to me.
I smirked as Michael held my hands, swaying them side-to-side.
Michael leaned closer to me, breathing on my neck.
I felt my face grow hot.
"It's a surprise." Michael whispered in my ear.
I bit my lip, not saying anything as I hide my smile.
Tease..
Michael started kissing my neck.
I softly giggled, "Michael! Not in public!" I blushed.
Michael smirked, our faces almost touching. "We're in a private zone at the moment." He seductively said, biting his lip.
I smirked, "Oh really?" I sarcastically said.
Michael smirked, "Really.." He whispered, kissing my lips with passion.
The door suddenly swung open.
I jumped, turning around fast as I let go of Michael.
Doctor Phillips and Debbie stood there, smiling at Michael and I.
"Oh um... H-Hi." I awkwardly said, feeling my face heat up.
Michael blushed in embarrassment.
"Are you ready to see your daughter again?" Debbie smiled widely.
My eyes widened as I quickly nodded, moving in front of Michael.
Debbie smirked, gently lifting the small blanket which revealed my daughter.
I softly gasped.
My god, she's beautiful..
When she was born, she was so red and fragile and so so small..
Now she looks healthier.
"Congratulations Mia and Michael." Debbie kindly said, gently handing me Rose.
"Thank you.." I whispered, gazing at Rose in awe.
I felt Michael gently touch my shoulder, "Oh my gosh.." Michael whispered.
Michael softly coughed as he started crying.
I bit my lip, smiling at Michael. "Why are you crying?" I gently asked, feeling a lump in my throat.
"I-I feel so.. S-Rose is so.." Michael said through sobs.
"I... I feel so blessed, I-I mean.." Michael cried more, causing it harder for him to speak.
I smiled, "Don't cry, darling. Y-You're gonna make me...." My voice trailed off as I gently started crying too.
"Y-You said she has no HIV, right?" I softly asked Debbie.
Debbie smiled, "She's clean." She gently said.
I nodded, "Good." I sniffled.
"Good.." I repeated softly.
"You all are allowed to leave anytime." Doctor Phillips smiled.
I looked up at him, "Thank you so much." I softly said.
He smiled warmly at me.
"N-No really, t-thank you." I said through tears.
Doctor Phillips smiled more, "Of course, Mia. This is the part of my job I love." He kindly said, leaving the room.
I gulped, "Oh, Michael.." I cried.
"Yeah?" He softly said, sniffling.
I looked up at him.
"C-Can we go home now?" I whispered.
Michael chuckled, "Yeah." He smiled, wiping his tears.
"We can go home."
