I want my niece back

I am so sorry! I haven't updated in a while, have i? Lol here's the next chapter. Sorry for lack of updates.

She awoke to see her husband standing over her bed, wetting her brow with a wet flannel. She stayed silent and avoided eye contact. She tried to think what happened before she fainted and then it hit her.

''Lily...where is she?'' She asked, still not looking John in the eyes and got out of bed so John was still leaning over the bed with the flannel. He then moved and stood next to Angela. Lily was fast asleep in her cot, murmers of breathing was present.

She didn't bother waiting for the answer but asked another question which was ripping her apart.

''Uh...so John, she's like you, right?'' Angela said, smiling at her baby. She felt torn inside. Her hormones were pretty much everywhere and it didn't take much to get angry at John and snap at him, which she did often. He understood what she was going through, even though he wasn't going through it himself. She suddenly got dizzy spells and felt like collapsing, but John was there to hold her.

''I'm afraid yes. Somehow the genes must of passed it on. I don't know how, since i did not inherite them from my mother, nor father so it's unexplanable. Sorry Angela...i really am''

''It's just John...i've been so depressed and i don't think it could get any worse until this incident happened. Think about it, the pain she will have to go through and what you went through, even attempting suicide...it's all too familar''

''Yes, but i didn't have supportive parents that have already been through this, whereas Lily has. We can make sure she turns out to be a great girl, you just have to trust me''

Lily's eyes then flickered open. As soon as they did, Angela walked out of the room unbearing to look at her daughter. She felt guilty for bringing a baby into the world. She needed to tell John this...and maybe she would confide in him but it would be kept a secret for now. She needed to think...she needed to think about her niece and how much she wanted her back. Her heart was torn into two. She knew John didn't approve of her snooting around and trying to contact her niece, but on the other hand she was Isabelle's daugher and she deserved to see her Auntie once again, perhaps the only last time. Angela knew she'd be too young to understand, but it was worth trying. She knew her niece was out there and told herself she would do pretty much anything to reclaim her, making her sound like her niece was some kind of insurance. She got dressed quickly and searched through her closets.

''Why are you avoiding Lily, Angela? I can see it in your eyes...''

''I'm not John, i'm just terribly busy at the moment, please leave me in peace and i shall make your dinner later''

John grabbed Angela's wrist and sat her on the bed.

''Look at me Angela and tell me what's wrong''

Angela was finding it hard to hold her tears, guilt and pressure any longer.

''I feel guilty John, guilty for bringing Lily into the world with me, such an awful mother. And as for niece...i just want her back John''
