Alice p.o.v
Quickly I tried to go one more time over the dates I had to learn for my history exam. I had studied these dates for the past three days. It was quite hard but I think I managed. No, I have managed, I can do it.
You can do it, Alice. You have to...
Suddenly the door of my room was opened by my stern-looking father. He had barged into my room without knocking. He looked at the papers in my hand and then back at me with his cold eyes. "Are you ready?" I only nodded my head, too scared to say something.
He took the papers from my hand and walked out of the room. I followed him to his study. Fear and anxiety consumed my frail body. A body that wasn't worthy of even trying to get into the army.
My mom was an MC Officer in the army, part of the medical corps. She was so proud of my brother when he joined the army. I wanted that proud look of hers too so I said I would join the army as w
Hadeon p.o.vOur little girl was now twelve days with us and I could say I was blessed. The little sunshine made our life's so much brighter. She was our missing piece all along. I had already gone back to work and it was now the job of James to watch over our little girl during the day. I was a bit jealous but coming home was so much more fun now, seeing the love of my life with my sunshine.Alice knew by now the difference between us and every time I got back she always held her arms out to me. She was just the cutest. At work I had already bragged about my little girl, sharing tons of pictures with my employees.She also managed to give us quite the scare with her ability to roll over to her belly. One time when I was changing her she almost fell off the table. I had nearly a heart attack. Once again if James knew this he would kill me, that's for sure.I was so happy with our little family. We had almost given up on having a pot
Hadeon p.o.vChris didn't think for a second. He picked Alice up and took her with him. Chris just managed to order, "Follow me." With quick steps, we followed him. We went through a maze of hallways, luckily with the guidance of Chris, we got there in just two minutes. We had reached a hospital ward where he went into one of the rooms. He had laid Alice down on the little hospital bed for babies.Chris turned to us and said with a stern expression, "Stay with her, I'm going to inform the team real quick. If anything happens push on that button and tell the nurse or doctor that comes in everything in detail what happened, understood?"We both nodded our heads and stayed with our daughter. James held her tiny, little hand and told Alice it would be okay and that daddy and papa were here. I saw how he tried to hold everything together but struggled with it. I stood behind him and put my arm around his shoulder. Letting him know I supported him and
James p.o.vThere she was, my little girl. Laying there on the hospital bed fighting for her life. How could this have happened? I was devastated, seeing her like that with all those machines around her, keeping her alive.The whole night we stayed at the bedside of our little girl. I didn't want her to be alone. She needed all the support she could possibly get for her fight and... and if she had to go if she had to leave us then... then we needed to be there. She couldn't go alone. She just could not.I had fallen asleep on Hadeon's lap, who comforted me all night until we both were too tired to stay awake. He said ensuring words to me, held me, and supported me. Without him, I would have completely broken down. Hadeon is my tower of strength.Early in the morning, we were woken up by a nurse. "Mr. Wright? Mr. Wright?" I heard. I opened my eyes and saw that everything was true and not a nightmare. I wanted to cry all over ag
Hadeon p.o.vFive days. It was five days after our little girl went into a coma and still there is no news. We visited her the next day but there wasn't much to do than look at her little, frail body that was fighting so hard to stay alive. James wanted to go every day but I convinced him otherwise. Seeing her would make him only feel even more terrible, well not only James, me as well.I started to work from home so I could watch over James. He often forgot things when he was this depressed. James had from time to time periods where he was depressed. I would take care of him and within a couple of days, he would be back to his normal, neat freak self.I made sure he ate, showered, brushed his teeth, and went to bed instead of laying on the couch all night.I kept myself busy with my work so I wouldn't think of our little girl. I know it sounds a bit harsh, but sometimes it's better to get on with life. I had made a strict schedule with m
James p.o.vAlice was now a week back with us after her stay at the hospital and we thought it would be great to take her outside to the park. She has been barely outside during her stay with us and a bit of clean air would do her good.Also, Chris said that if there weren't any irregularities with her health past week she was most likely back to normal and could live her life likewise. We were so happy, our worries gone. But still, I would at least check her temperature three times a day, just to make sure. She couldn't slip away through my fingers again.I was changing my munchkin into warmer clothes when she started to babble at me in her own little language. It was too cute. "Look at you, all ready to go to the park." I picked her up, kissed her nose, and went downstairs where Hadeon was waiting with her stroller and diaper bag."You ready honey?""Yes, and our little girl is as well," I responded. "Alright then let's go." Hade
Hadeon p.o.vThe next day it was Sunday, which meant a relaxing day. Only, thought our little Alice different about that. The whole day she was whining and crying. Not for a long time but for short times during the day she would make a sound of discomfort.James pointed out she was sucking on more and more things. You really had to watch what you were going to put in her grabbing range. Everything she could get her little hands on would find its way in her mouth.Late in the afternoon, it wasn't for a short time she whined she kept going as she rubbed her cheeks furiously."What do you think is wrong honey?" I asked James. "Hmmm, I don't know. I think I'll get the book." He mused. Of course, he would getthebook. It was a book about babies, from the day they were born until they turned one year old. It was like his bible for everything concerning our baby girl.Then I heard him yell something. "Of course!" I hea
Hadeon p.o.vOur baby girl had grown so much these past weeks, she was with us. A couple of days ago we found out she was teething and she said her first words. Now she was crawling around the house very successfully. First, she had trouble with it and after one foot she would stop. Now she could cross the living room and still not be tired.I had taken the day off as James had to pay a visit to his late father's company. He still owned shares of the company so once a year he had to join a meeting with all the businessmen who owned shares of the company. I didn't mind because I had now a whole day alone with my daughter.She was sitting in the middle of the living room and I was trying to get her to crawl over to me. "Come here Alice, come to papa," I coaxed her. She looked at me with her big eyes and said, "Dada, dada." I smiled, it always gave me butterflies in my stomach when she said that. "Yes papa, come to papa."She made her way ov
Hadeon p.o.vI didn't get why James was so upset. She wasn't alone that long. He is just a neat freak and a control freak. The moment things don't go his way he gets agitated and starts yelling at people. I didn't do anything wrong. I rubbed my hands over my face. I was frustrated and I needed a drink. I opened one of my cabinets and got my whiskey and my glass out.First I needed to cool down and then talk to him. It was something I had learned when I worked on my anger issues. I would apologize and then explain the situation, if I had done that it was all up to James. If he would make up or stay mad at me.The thing that frustrated me the most was that James thought I didn't care for our daughter. I loved my princess. I would do anything for her. I just didn't see the harm in letting her be alone for a couple of minutes.I finished my drink, but I wasn't cooled down enough so I got myself another one. I needed a backup plan if he doesn'
