I DON'T OWN W.I.T.C.H
Cornelia had been trying to give birth naturally for almost 6 hours, she was exhausted and with every second the doctors were more convinced, she needed a C-section.
They let her rest for a while and Caleb, who was beside her, took her hand
"I know you can do it, and soon we're going to have our Alex in our arms" he kissed her hand and she just closed her eyes
"I want him to be like you" she was ignoring the pain and trying to hold back the tears, because of the pain and the feeling that there was something wrong with her baby.
"We'll know it soon" at that moment a nurse entered and said that they needed inject her the epidural, Caleb embraced her as the nurse injected her.
"Well, now we have to go to the surgery room" said the nurse as she pulled the stretcher
When they arrived at the surgery room's door she said
"I'm sorry Sir, but you have to stay here"
"But I can't leave her!" he didn't want to let her alone in this moment
"I'm sorry but this is an order, this is a dangerous surgery because of her state, please let us do our work" she was trying to pull the stretcher but Cornelia stopped her
"Stop please is just a second…. Caleb I'm going to be fine and so will Alex you just have to wait a few minutes, I'd like you to be there with me but the doctor said you can't, just stay calm, do it for us" she was apparently calm and as she said that she let go Caleb's hand, he sighed and then whispered in her ear
"I'll be here waiting for you" he gave her a peck on the lips and caressed her stomach before leaving them go
SURGGERY ROOM
CORNELIAS' POV
The nurse left me in the center of a big room full of strange machines and doctors; they covered my vision with a blue blanket, I only could see them "working" on me but I didn't feel anything, I didn't know how much time had passed but suddenly I heard a baby crying,… my baby….. my Alex crying!
I was really tired and I could only whisper using all my strength, but I wanted to have Alex in my arms
"Please give me my baby" I said, but in that moment I saw them taking my baby out of the room
"What are you doing? ALEX! BRING ME MY BABY BACK, WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?"
I was trying to stand up but nurse calmed me down, however I knew that something was wrong and when I asked her she said:
"Your baby can´t breathe, his lungs are not developed yet, you don't have to worry he's going to be ok" then I saw her injecting something in my IV tube and all became black.
CALEB'S POV
50 minutes had passed since I left Cornelia in that door and all the gang, Elyon, my father, and my friends had arrived, all were trying to calm me down but I was really worried about Cornelia and my baby.
Suddenly I heard a baby crying and then….."ALEX! BRING ME MY BABY BACK, WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?" it was Cornelia's voice, I run to the door but I couldn't hear anything, then a nurse came to me and said
"Mr. Hart your baby is going to be ok but….. He can't breathe on his own yet and we're going to put him into an incubator for a few time" then she tried to pass by my side but I needed to know how Cornelia was
"How is my wife?"
"She's sleeping; she was really altered because we had to take the baby out of the room and we injected her a sedative, we'll pass her to a room and you will be able to see her" then she came back to the room and I stood there like an idiot …..this can't be happening …I wanted to see them…...I wanted to have them in my arms…..I wanted to know that they were fine…I loved them more than anything; I started to cry with my forehead and my hands against a wall until I felt a hand on my shoulder
"They are going to be fine Caleb just don't worry" it was my father and when I turned around I saw all my friends looking at my with worry looks, then I remembered:
"Cornelia's family needs to know….."
"I called them and her father said they´ll be here as soon as possible" said Elyon
Cornelia's family was living in Italy and they were supposed to come 2 weeks before Alex's birth but all this mess happened.
We waited there for almost 15 minutes and then Dr. Swift came to us
"You can see Cornelia now, room number 450; I'll go with you I need to check her"
When we arrived we found Cornelia sleeping, all agreed and left me and Dr. Swift alone with her, she opened Cornelia's coat and I saw a big red scar, the doctor followed my look and smiled
"This scar will disappear soon, she'll wake up in a few minutes I'm going to leave you alone" and she left
I sat by her side caressing her face for about 3 minutes and then she slowly woke up
"A….a ..lex?" she said opening her eyes
"Shhhhh love he's ok, don't try to speak you are too weak" I tried to calm her but it was useless
"WHERE IS ALEX? I NEED TO SEE HIM, A NURSE SAID ME HE COULDN'T BREATHE I WANT TO SEE HIM NOW!" she started to shout till I covered her mouth with my hand
"Cornelia please listen to me! He´s going to be fine and you need to rest, your stomach was cut a minutes ago and if you keep on moving you are going to open the wound" at that words she closed her eyes and then bit my hand in a playful way, I understood and as I released her mouth she began to talk
"Have you seen him?" I could notice that she was really sad
"No, a nurse said that he needed to be in an incubator a few time because of his lungs…."
"This is my fault, If only I had kept him two more months in my stomach this would not be happening" she started to cry and I embraced her, this wasn´t her fault sometimes things just happen and I knew that our Alex was going to be fine but I needed her to know that I didn't blame her for anything
"Love! This is NOT your fault; you have done it incredible nobody blames you but you! Alex will be fine and we 'll be able to take him to Meridian with us very soon" I rested with her in the bed until she fell asleep in my arms.
CORNELIA'S POV
When I woke up I was in Caleb's arms, I realized that this was the first time I slept in his arms after a long time, I felt safe and warmth but I couldn't stop thinking about Alex, I haven't even seen him, I think he will be like Caleb ….
"Are you awake?" Caleb' voice said
"Yes, can you please call my doctor?" I wanted to know if I could see Alex
"I'm on it" he said as he stood up and he picked up the phone
"I need to talk with Dr. Swift please…..ok…..Dr. is Caleb…yes …she's fine but she wants to see you…..ok thanks" he left the phone and came to me
"She said she's going to be here in a minute"
"Thanks" I sat and Caleb did the same by my side, suddenly he began to caress my checks and I closed my eyes, I really missed this things, his lips on mine, his hands, his touch, his caresses, I missed him! I felt that his hands stopped in my mouth and I smiled
"What?" I asked
"Nothing is just that …I love you.. I know I don't say it as much as I should….as I'd want" and I felt his lips on mine, we kissed until we heard the door opening, I opened my eyes and there was my doctor with a wheelchair.
"Cornelia I can't bring your baby here but I can take you where he is" and she walked towards me pulling that horrible thing
"You are crazy if you think that I'm going to use that, I can walk" I didn't think that I could but I didn't like wheelchairs.
"Oh yes you will if you want to see your Alex" why was she smiling? She was crazy!
"I really have to, don't I?" I said looking down
"It's not that bad!, your wound will be safer this way and believe me you won't walk 3 steps" she was still smiling….. I hoped that the look in her face was a sign that Alex was well.
"Ok, you can take me in that horrible thing" I said not looking at her
"Are you a woman or a baby girl?" she and Caleb started to laugh but I gave Caleb a death glare and he stopped
"Caleb can you please help me with her?" she asked my husband
"Yes" he smiled as he picked me up and then sat me in the wheelchair, the doctor walked in front of us and Caleb pulled my chair, we arrived to a big room and I saw a lot of incubators, I was distracted and when Caleb stopped I quickly looked around but I saw something in front of me that captured my attention: "Alex Hart" …and in the incubator with that name I saw a little baby with blond hair sleeping
"This is your Alex Cornelia" my doctor said
"I want to hold him" tears started to form in my eyes and Caleb put a hand on my shoulder, I looked at him and I saw that he was crying too, he smiled at me and then I looked at my doctor waiting for an answer.
"I can't do that, he´s really weak at this moment but I think that in a week you'll be able to hold him" she said smiling
"Why are you smiling?" I asked upset
"Well, I will let you have the incubator in you room…..I'm the best, aren´t I?" I understood her happiness! I knew that this wasn't allowed but she had done it for me! I loved her!
"Thanks" I said
"He's waking up" said Caleb and I returned my eyes to the incubator, I saw my baby opening a beautiful blue eyes then I realized that he had my eyes and my hair but he was a exactly copy of Caleb.
"Is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen" the doctor said, and she was right he was too beautiful to be real, not only because he was my son.
"He's an angel just like you" said Caleb as he knelt by my side
"I'm going to be outside if you need something" said my doctor and she left
"He does look likes you" I said putting one hand on Caleb's check and smiling at him, he took my hand and kissed it
"Yes, but he has your hair and your beautiful eyes" at that moment I heard a little laugh, I turned around and I saw Alex laughing, I didn't know why but I started to laugh too and so did Caleb.
I put my hand on the glass and then I look at Caleb
"Call her, I want to have our baby in my room" Caleb gave me a kiss on the check and left
"Alex…I know you can't understand me but I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and that I'll always be with you" at that moment Caleb and my doctor arrived and we went to my room.
CALEB'S POV
I couldn't believe how beautiful my baby was, he was really like me but he had Cornelia's hair and eyes, the first time I saw him tears of happiness run down my face, he was fine and the doctor let us take him to Cornelia's room but we couldn´t hold him yet because he was too weak.
5 minutes after arriving at the room all our friends appeared at the door, and there were the W.I.T.C.H girls with their husbands, my father, Elyon, Drake, Vathek and Aldarn ( in human form). They were really happy for us and all said that Alex was the most beautiful baby they have ever seen, Elyon told us that Cornelia's family was going to arrive tomorrow night and we spent the rest of the day talking but I noticed that sometimes Cornelia was just looking at Alex, who was sleeping again, and smiled.
THREE DAYS LATER
CORNELIA'S POV
I was in my room looking at Caleb and Alex sleeping, in these last three days my family had arrived and they were really happy with the baby, my wound started to heal quickly and I was feeling better, I wanted to have Alex in my arms as soon as possible and my doctor said :"soon Cornelia just wait a few days", but there was something that really made me happy; I wouldn't say this to Caleb but I was happy when they said that I couldn't breast-feed Alex, it could be weird but I didn't want to.
Caleb has been here with us all the time but I'm afraid that in Meridian the things turn to what they were before. Caleb started to wake up and smiled as he saw me looking at him.
"Hi" he said yawing
"Did you sleep well?" I asked
"Yes, what time is it?"
"8:30, why?"
"Well I thought it was like 5:00 o'clock" he said smiling
"I'm hungry, can you please call the reception?" At that moment I realized how hungry I was
"Yes" he did and 10 minutes later they brought us our breakfast, Alex was still sleeping and my doctor arrived at 9:02
"Good morning! I have a notice for you….I'm going to let you hold your Alex" YES! I couldn't believe her, I wanted to hug her but first my baby….by the way I love the way she says "Your Alex".
I saw how she opened the incubator and then she covered him with the green blanket that Lily had brought for him, she put Alex in my arms and then left, I kissed his forehead and then started to cry, he was just perfect and I loved him so much, he woke up with a little yawn (like his father) and he looked at me smiling, at that moment I felt strong arms around my waist and then Caleb whispered in my ear
"He's perfect like you….I love you with all my heart" he rested his chin on my shoulder and we contemplate our son for a while, then I asked
"Do you want to hold him?" Caleb immediately stood up and took Alex from my arms, I started to laugh and Caleb began to walk around the room with Alex in his arms, my dad brought me a camera and I took a picture of them
"What are you doing?" said a surprised Caleb
"I only want to have pictures of the first time we hold him" I said taking another picture
"So let me take one of you" I took Alex and then I smiled to the camera
"Beautiful" said Caleb
"Well I'm on it…I want one of us, come here" Caleb sat by my side and took a picture of the three of us.
The rest of the day was like the others but everyone wanted to hold the baby and Caleb took a lot of pictures, my family had to leave tomorrow and my doctor said that we could too, so, when everyone were out I put Alex into the incubator while Caleb was making the bags, tomorrow morning we'll be back in Meridian.
What do you think? Review! ^^
