Sophia

Here I am sitting and giggling with my little brother waiting for Don to come back with the completed discharge formalities and we can go home. Finally. Its been five days and finally Don convinced Zack and Ric that we can go home. Yes I said 'we' because just like he said he hasn't went home without me. "Hey Chuck, do you have my file, as in patient file?" I asked to Chuck, I really wanted to see the reason why the pain in my abdomen is not subsidizing. "No, I guess its with Don". he said of course he has it. "Alright" I said in a soft voice. "Why do you want it?" he asked "You need what?" I heard Don. damn

"N-noting babe" I said. "She asked for her file" Chuck told him and I felt like throwing him upside down to knock some sense into him idiot. "Why did you lie?" Great. Thanks Chuck "Its not important." I said with half a smile because I know its not the end of this and I so wanted an end of this. "Charles can I talk to your sister?" Dammit .

I sat crossing fingers as Chuck leaves the room. He threw a file at the bed in front of me. I looked at him. Seriously all these days I asked him he always made an excuse and now I am just getting it without a fight. Is it a trap? "Will you just stare at it or open it?" I took it but not very confident of my moves. I opened it I read it. "It says everything I already know" I said . He shrugged "What you were expecting?" He said. "The thing you all are not telling me" I said and shocked at my own courage right now. "Why would you say that?" He said as he got up and started packing the stuff. "Because you always stall, you do not look at me when I bring it up, I feel this continous pain in my abdomen and no one gives me an explanation for this and most importantly." I waited for him to turn and he didn't so I tried getting up "Ah" again that encroaching pain. He came to me an instant. "Hey easy there don't put too much pressure on your stomach huh, easy, easy." He said as he half laid me on the bed. He turned and I held his hand "I feel that you are sad and I want to know why you are sad?" "You feel I am sad?" He asked. "Yes and don't say because I got shot. You are angry for that. But this is different and I know I am the reason for this sadness and I want to know". I said pouting a bit.

He came and sat beside me. He put his arm around my shoulder and I automatically laid my head on his chest. "Its not because of you baby" he said as he kissed my head. "What is it babe? Tell me please" I asked taking his cheek in my hand. He sat up straight "Would you give the person you love the pain of loosing something they never had to begin with?" He said. I didn't understand what he meant but I know there is something that is hurting him and I want to be a part of it. I want to share his pain. So I touched his shoulder and said "Damon I won't ask you anymore. Tell me only if you would have wanted me to tell you, if the roles were reversed". He looked at me and I was not stepping down. "I don't want you to go through this alone. I know you would have shared my pain" I said to him. He held my hand on his shoulder and looked at me. I saw tears brimming his eyes. I was scared to know what is it that could break the icy ridge in his eyes and affect him enough am I dying is the thought that came to me.

"Because of this bullet we-we lost our child" he said. The words left his mouth and I felt like I lost the oxygen for a moment. I sat back. I didn't know how to react "I was pregnant" I said almost to myself. "Yes six weeks" he told me. I don't know how to process it. I was too shocked to react. I would have been a mom. I touched my belly and I felt Damon's hand over mine. That did it, whatever wall was holding me shattered and I broke down. I cried a lot. He sat there hugging me without saying a word. "I am sorry Damon. Had I known that I have your child I would have been more careful". "Hey Doll, I have you I have everything " he said kissing my forehead.

"Even my child abandoned me" I said with a snort. "Doll" he said with as much compassion as anyone could have. "What? Dad left me, Mom did, even Chuck left me too. I guess I just do not deserve a family." I said laughing at my fate. "Hey!" he said cupping my cheeks in a stronger hold "You are my family Sophia. Don't ever say that again. You have your husband, you have two brothers now, you have friends and even two crazy sisters and you will have your child too one day. Got it?" I hugged him hard. "I love you Damon. I love you so much." I melted in his arms "I love you Sophia. You have me. And I will never leave you. I promise you amore. I will always love you. We will have our child too and trust me our daughter is going love you even more." He said with so much love I can't believe I deserve.

"Daughter? You want a daughter, not a macho man to succeed you." I said with a light chuckle. He laughed "No I want a daughter. Who will have the laugh Just like you. The same big eyes and the heart bigger than an ocean." I laughed while crying. "Only if she had eyes like you." I said admiring his eyes like always. "Ahhhh....Well that might be problem" he said. "wha-how?" I asked in almost disbelief. "Imagine with these eyes" he pointed at himself smugly "she will be like what hotter than Megan Fox, I don't know how many guys I have to kill then to keep it in their pants." And I laughed so hard. He laughed with me. "Oh God you are the best" I said and pulled him into a deep kiss. "Now that's my girl I have been missing." He said with a smirk. That's my girl, it felt like I heard it after ages and nothing could have brought more satisfaction to me right now. "Really" I said with a smug. "Uh-huh and I have an idea, how about I catch up with her before we leave this place for good" and he pushed me on bed and I can't stop giggling.

Thank you God for giving me Damon. I thought I as lost myself in his kiss.
