Chapter 25 : lily was one month and 3 weeks old she was doing well each day . Today as we were getting ready to go to the hospital I saw Campbell wheel towards moms room he knocked on the door and mom let him in . I stood there and finished my makeup and put a little bit of styling gel in my hair then I sat down on the couch and waited for Campbell to come out of my moms room 20 min had passed and he was still in there . I knew whatever he was talking About with mom was serious . I knocked on the door and Campbell opened it up . When i saw Campbell's face it what looked to be many tears falling down I looked at him then looked at mom . Mom smiled a light smile and that's when I got worried I instantly thought something happened with lily .

Daphne : is lily okay

Regina : oh yeah she's fine ...

D Daphne : Campbell what's wrong

Campbell : cries : my brother he kicked me out ... I can stay if I give up lily

Daphne : total what ... Does what cries : no

Campbell : Daphne Veques look at me . We're not giving her up she's my baby girl and she's yours .. Too I couldn't ever do it ... all it means is that I am going to have to move in

Regina : Daphne Campbell's brother threatened to call social services .. I called him and told him there was no need and that you would cries : be staying with me and I will help you and Campbell raise your baby girl alright

Daphne : cries : oh ... Mom she's not gonna get taken away right I can't loose her I can't no ... No Campbell

Campbell : cries : she's mommy's and daddy's and grandma Regina's alright .. He didn't call ... Alright I promise

Daphne : cries : I don't trust him he might have called he might have called anyway

I grabbed Campbell's hand and tears poured down my face I let go of his Hand and laid myself on the bed and began sobbing . I couldn't loose my sweet baby daughter she means too much to me ...now she's my lily . I have held her I have bonded with her she knows my voice she's got her daddy wrapped around her little finger . My daughter can't be taken away .I laid on the bed and eventually cried myself to sleep and the last thing I remember is feeling my mom rub my back . And Campbell's lips were on the side of my head . I woke up feeling footsteps come closer I quickly sat up in the bed and saw Campbell's brother standing over me . I grabbed Campbell's hand . I looked over at him and he signed "your mom called " I nodded and held on tighter to his hand . Sam patted me on the shoulder and I flinched . I got off the bed and stood up . Sam looked at me and Campbell .

Sam : hey

Daphne : hey

Sam : I am not gonna call okay ...

Daphne : cries : promise Sam promise

Sam : I promise

Daphne : what is your problem ..huh what have you got against Campbell and I being parents

Sam : well your too young you don't even have your own place ... I just didn't think it would be the best situation. for her . But I see different now . .. She has too parents who love her and that's all she needs and with a little help from Daphne's mother I am sure you too can raise her to have a good life

Daphne : thank you

Sam : and I am really proud of my little brother for stepping up and being there for you and not running off

Campbell : never I love my girls too much

Sam patted Campbell and I on the back and then quickly left . I felt better knowing that I had his word that he wasn't going to call . Campbell looked at me and smiled then signed my girls . I giggled and kissed him softly . We then headed out to the car and rode our usual route to the hospital . When we got to the NICU and checked in we saw nurse jane walk up holding lily . Campbell and I looked at each other and didn't know if we should be worried or excited . Nurse jane said that miss lily had now gone 29 min without needed oxygen ... Campbell smiled and asked if he could hold her . Campbell had never held her when he was in his chair so this would be different . She laid lily in the bend of Campbell's right arm he looked down at lily and smiled with glee . Lily stretched and put her arm behind her head and I giggled because it looked just like Campbell laying there . He looked at her and said "baby girls ready for a nap " . Just then lily drifted off to sleep in her daddy's arm . I looked at nurse jane and she was smiling . I wheeled Campbell and lily towards lily's bed . But nurse jane said he could hold her since she was doing good . And he SATS were up Campbell took his left hand and rubbed her head and slowly brushed her hair back with his hand . He bent down and kissed her forehead . And just looked at her with such amazement.

Daphne : cries : I could never ever give her up she belongs with us Campbell

Campbell : that she does and daddy will be right by her side forever ...

Daphne : so will her mommy
