Everyone moves out of the way as her body jolts.

They look at the monitor and see nothing.

Oh god, please, Mel, please.

"AGAIN, CLEAR."

They shock her again, but still nothing. I sob while Dagger squeezes my hand tightly.

Dr. Thomas tries one more time. He presses the button, and her body jolts again.

Beeping enters the room, and I breathe while everyone jumps at Dr. Thomas' order, "O.R. NOW. MOVE, MOVE, MOVE."

They all rush past us, and I drag Dagger out of the way.

I blink again, pulling up to the nursery before looking at my precious girl.

"Ok, kitten, are you ready?"

She smiles at me and says, "Yes, momma. Will you find my daddy today? And can we go see Auntie Mel later?

I swallow hard and give her a weak smile.

Before Cassidy went coocoo, Mel said Dagger knew Lilah's father and that their club does affiliate with the Wincher club. The woman who I spoke to was most likely a sweet butt, women who cleans and works for the club but also sleeps around with the brothers. They're very territorial over the brothers wanting their patch, so she lied to me, not wanting someone else to come inand steal a brother, and by the way she spoke to me, a brother she wanted.

"I'll see if Auntie Mel is up for visitors next week, kitten, ok?"

She nods; she thinks Mel just got a booboo and needed some rest for a few months. She loves her, and their bond is amazing to watch.

"What about my daddy?"

I swallowed hard again. I hadn't wanted to ask Dagger about him because, well, it didn't seem as important, and I still don't. As much as I would love to see Noah again, Mel has to come first right now, plus I'm scared. I'm scared he won't want me or our daughter.

I'm scared he has a woman now and a family.

"Maybe not today, kitten, but soon."

She nods her head, her hazel eyes looking sad, and I sigh before getting out of the car, rounding it to get her. I hold her hand and take her bag with my other before taking her inside the building. She's only got a few months until she turns five, then starts kindergarten.

My girls growing up way too fast, and her daddy’s missing it all.

I smile at Emily, who, for some reason, has laughter shining in her eyes, before giving Lilah a massive hug and kiss. Since Cassidy held a gun to my head, I've struggled with leaving her. I take a deep breath before she takes her bag and grabs her worker's hand, and they disappear through the door. I stand there for a few minutes before turning away and heading back to my car. I'm in the ER today, so I know it's going to be a busy one. I get to work and shove my things in my locker all within fifteen minutes, and I even manage to swap my scrub bottoms for a clean pair.

Bloody Lilah and her pranks

I shake my head. She'd put a bit of paper full of red paint and blue glitter on my seat, and I was too much in my own head to notice. No wonder Emily looked like she wanted to laugh her ass off.

My girl's lucky; she's cute.

When I get on the floor, I'm immediately shoved with a clipboard by Sarah, and she points to bed one.

I nod and head in there, only having to come to a stop.

Oh, my.

I blink, and I blink again, and the woman clears her throat.

"I know it looks bad."
