GABBY'S P.O.V
I have no clue what time it is but judging by the pinky, blue skyline outside the window so I assume its quite early in the morning, I slept pretty good last night not quite pain free but enough to let myself have a good night sleep. As far as I know Matt was going to see our baby girl when he left me last night I haven't seen him since, I don't know whether that is a good sign or not, I don't want to seem that I'm not bothered about my baby, but I don't want to hear the words 'I'm sorry but the baby didn't make it through the night' that would break me completely.
"Hey, Miss Dawson, how are you feeling this morning?" Said one of the nurses checking up on me,
"Yeah, I feel fine a bit sore but none the better, Where's Matt?" I asked as I tried to sit myself up a little bit, the nurse came around and helped me up a little, giving a little smile to thank her,
"Hasn't he come back in to see you? He spent the night in the NICU with your baby, ill go chase him for you" The nurse laughed as she smiled, walking out the room,
I sit and start to wonder what my baby is doing, what she looks like I haven't even seen my baby yet and she's nearly 24 hours old,
MATT'S P.O.V
"Matt? Matt?" I could hear someone saying my name whilst gently rubbing my shoulder, as I lift my head I'm greeted by the nurse treating Gabby,
"Hey, erm is everything okay?" I ask wondering why she was here,
"Gabby was wondering where you went off to, so she sent me to find you, I also thought it would be okay for you to tell her she can come see your baby today" The nurse told me, and my face jut lit right up, "Really? Oh, that's fantastic ill go tell her right now" I thanked the nurse, I stood and took one more look at my baby in front of me, she looked more of a skin colour this morning, but she was still so little and fragile, I kissed my hand and placed it on the top of the incubator before turning and walking around to Gabby's ward,
"Hey babe, how you are feeling?" I said as I sat on the edge of the bed kissing her head,
"Not bad, how's our baby girl doing?" Gabby asked with a slight look of worry to her face,
"She's beautiful, can't quite tell who she looks like yet but she's getting there" Before I got to finish the nurse entered the room with a wheelchair,
"What's that for?" Gabby asked with a look of confusion on her face,
"Its time to go meet your baby girl Gabs, you can see her now" Gabby's face just beamed into a big smile, but the tears proceeded down her face, "Hey, Hey what's this for?" I asked as I grabbed her hand,
"I'm just so happy I get to see her, I thought I wouldn't get a chance to" Gabby wiped her tears, me and the nurse helped Gabby up out the bed and into the wheelchair, as I started to push the wheelchair down the hall Gabby reached back and grabbed my hand "Hey, I love you" She smiled
"I love you too" I smiled, I looked back up to the path in front of me as I pressed the buzzer for the NICU "Matt and Gabby to see baby Casey" I said as they buzzed us through the doors, I wheeled gabby down to the room our baby was in and pulled up in front of the incubator where the nurses were doing their hourly checks, "There she is…"
GABBY'S P.O.V
"There she is..." I heard Matt say as he pushed me to the baby in front of me,
"She's tiny" I said in a shallow voice as I look over to the little baby in front of me, one of the nurses asked, "Have you picked out a name for her?"
I looked over to Matt before looking back down to my baby girl, "Abigail, Abigail Hope Casey" I looked back at Matt, he Kissed my head and whispered "I love it"
The nurse wrote her name on the whiteboard at the bottom of her incubator, "Abigail's doing fantastic she's developing better than expected for a baby born so prematurely, this time tomorrow if she's doing as well as she is now, she will probably be able to come off the ventilator tube and just have a one through her nose to just help her breathing keep a steady rate"
My smile once again beamed across my face, "When can I hold her?" I asked nervously wanting to giver her kisses and cuddles,
"Her skin is still quite thin and fragile so not just yet, you can hold her hand through the incubator just make sure you don't disturb the wire by her arm its monitoring her heart rate, once she's out the incubator you can hold her in maybe a week or two, she's making progress which is the main thing, Congratulations" The nurse said as she walked off to finish her rounds,
"Abigail Hope, where did you pick that name?" Matt asked me with a smile to his face, "Abigail means 'Fathers Joy' in Hebrew I read it in the Baby name book the other day and Hope well I just think it suits her" Matt pulled me close and Kissed my head once more, "She's our little Miracle"
