DEAN POV

I was sitting on the chair in her room. The doctor and his team were still checking on her. I was holding the bubbly Dianne. She won't stop clapping, gurgling and squealing.

And the little group was not back yet. Here I thought, where did Allen take them to have lunch? They're not going to the mall, right?

"Mr. West, " dr. Springer called snapping me from my daze. I stood up adjusting Dianne in my embrace. " Mrs. West is okay, now. Her condition is stable. She can go home anytime. "

"thank GOD, " I sighed as I patted Dianne's back.

She faced on Vee and started gurgling again. Somebody was happy to see her.

" I want to discharge her tomorrow, if you let me, " I said.

"no problem, Mr. West, " dr. Springer nodded and called his team. "excuse us. "

I nodded as I saw them closed the door. I glanced at Vee as she tried to cope with her vision. She was weak. Yeah. But maybe because her long sleeping, her eyes had to adjust to the light and all.

"here we come to Mama, " I whispered at Dianne.

I walked ant stopped beside her. I was a bit hesitate to sit on her left side because I was afraid if she didn't want it. She looked at me with her dark eyes.

"you can sit here, " she said slowly as she patted a little space beside her and I sit. "can you place her on me? I miss this Ms. Little butts here. "

I chuckled but I placed Dianne anyway on her. I found a button and the back rest of the bed slightly up so Vee was kinda in sitting position. I couldn't stop my chuckling because all Dianne do was squealing and clapping. She was happy, her mom was awake.

She placed her little hands on her chest first and she made standing position. Her little toes was curly up so she could reach Vee's cheeks. She touched them as she cooed at her with her drooling lips.

Vee was smiling happily. Her eyes were twinkling as she watched the little bubbly trying to stand up and tried to kiss her.

"she misses you," I said.

" I miss you too, little butts, " she said to her as she gave her perpetual kiss all over her face.

Dianne's giggling echoed in the room. I saw Vee tried to sit as she held Dianne securely in her arms. As Vee stopped, Dianne still held her face in her tiny hands.

Her eyes were focused on her nose then moved to her eyes. Her lips opened to say something but it became her lips showed tightly smile.

"what baby? "

"mmm... " and Dianne started her bubbling.

"how did you find me? " Vee looked at me.

"Allen helped me, " I clasped my hands tightly.

"is it okay you come here? "

"why? "

"your mom? And.. Your work? "

"ummm, " my lips mumbled something. "My mom died weeks ago. And my work can wait. I have reliable people work with me. "

"what? How?.... Why? "

I told her everything. She was listening as she held Dianne who faced me. She played her little hands on her feet as she tried to say anything she could.

After long silence, I want to speak anything random to her. But I felt awkward. This was the first meeting her after what? Almost 9 months ago.

" I am sorry, " she trailed whispering.

" no. It's fine," I chuckled. "my life's fuck up. "

Her dark eyes stared at mine. With everything me and mom did to her she could feel sympathy at me. And I couldn't look her in the eye.

"where are they? " she asked me. She was really a weak one patient. I tried to give her water and she sipped. "how are they?"

"Allen took them to lunch and it's almost two hours ago and they are fine," I stared at her after I saw my watch. " I hope. "

"what do you mean? "

" I did some check up on them just to make sure they're fine. "

"oh, " she held Dianne in sitting position. The little baby was clapping and still trying to say something. "that's good. "

"yeah. "

Silence engulfed us.

" I am sorry, " I said.

My shoulder shook and I could contain my feeling. Just thinking about our unborn baby made me regret whatever I did to her. If only I didn't do that, maybe she was still pregnant or our baby was born. I imagined what she did to survive this long time. And it made me even sadder.

" I can't say it's okay to you, Dean, " she whispered at me. "but, it's in the past. I want to forget it. I just want to remember my unborn baby. That's it. "

"yeah, " my voice croaked.

"mm.., " Dianne clapped her hands and she gave us her gummy smile. "Mama! "

She clapped harder and bounced on Vee's lap. I thought she was happy she could say that.

We were surprised hearing her as we looked at each other then grinned at her. She clapped even harder and her drooling couldnt stop flowing.

"mama! " she exclaimed as we smile genuinely at her. "da.... Ddddd.... "

She looked like to fart because her face was red. She would to try to call me but it was hard for her. She was cute.

"okay, stop, baby, " Vee said to her. Vee held her and made her to face her. "you can try anytime but here I want to hear you laugh. "

She gave Dianne raspberry kiss on her little tummy making Dianne giggling. She patted Vee's back head as she couldn't contain her laughter.

"mmmaaa.... (giggling) Ssshhhh... ."

"what baby? " Vee faced her as she smiled. She adored this baby like I do.

"mmmm.... Mmmaa, " Dianne said as her little hand touched her nose. "ddd.... Uhn!"

She pointed at me. I raised my brows and rounded my eyes. What was she trying to say?

"yeah. Is that Daddy? " Vee tried to understand what Dianne wanted to say then she nodded her head. "what about Daddy? "

She still pointed at me as her opening mouth tried to move. Her rounded eyes starred back at her making Vee laugh. Then Dianne pouted. She wanted to say something but she couldnt.

Then she sat and leant on her chest. Her cheek touched Vee's breast as her little hand tried to reach her chin.

Vee caught her hand and gave it a kiss. Then she placed it back on her chest.

"you sleepy? " she cooed at her.

Dianne didn't nod but her eyes slowly drop. Okay, someone was tired.

I chuckled with what I see. Then my eyes moved to her. She stared at Dianne lovingly like a mother to her daughter.

She loved these kids. They're orphan and sweet children.

*

Okay, I got confessed by Allen that he said he took the kids and sister Mariyah on the wheel. He took them far away to give me some private time with Vee.

This man's mind was unexpected. I appreciated it.

And here now they had small reunion. The kids smiled happily and they had nonstop chattering. Sister Mariyah just smiled at them. She didn't say anything but her eyes did.

It was unspeakable moment.

We stayed longer and it's time to go home for them. Allen took them after they bid sweet goodnight to Vee. I watched them from the door frame. Then they gave me hug and I gave Dianne sweet goodnight kiss. She was sleeping in her stroller. My baby.

After the long silence, I turned my head to her. She was lying on the bed. Her eyes slowly dropped. I walked to her and had a sit beside her.

"you can't sleep here, " she said.

" I can and I will, " I whispered.

She turned to face me. She just stared at me. Her stare was blank so I didn't know what's on her mind.

"here, " she gave some little space from her little bed to me. "you can't sleep on that couch. "

She gestured at small couch. Yeah, for me to have long legs and big body, it wouldn't fit.

"but.. How about you?"

"can you just stop asking and sleep already? "

She almost snapped at me. And I didn't want to make her mad so I laid my body next to her. My jacket was on the couch for the time being.

I turned my body to her just to face her staring at me. Thank GOD she didn't have any IV attached on her skin or else, she would hurt.

Or I made her hurt.

She sighed and closed her eyes. I stared at her for a moment and thought she was already sleeping.

But not.

" I miss you. "

That little of her voice startled me. Then I heard soft snore.

I embraced her and leant her head on my chest as I stroked her hair.

" I miss you too. "

I gave her head kiss then her scar cheek. She was still beautiful with that. After a while I closed my eyes.

The rest was silence.

And for the first time I had a nice dream. I hope someday it would come true.
