Tommy's POV

I slowly walked into the ultrasound room with Michelle tucked into my arms and then placed her on the chair, while I then lay down on the ultrasound bench.

"So Mr. Lambert, how have you been feeling lately?" The nurse asked, smiling at me.

I then replied with a slight smile back, "yea I've been alright jut the same old usual, moods wings and morning sickness..."

Michelle then interrupted looking into my eyes, "and missing daddy!" she stated.

I couldn't help but crack a full smile, "yes glitters and missing daddy a lot." I said lifting her up onto the bench next to me giving her a cuddle.

"Alright and can you now please lift up your shirt...?" the nurse ordered.

I then slowly tucked up my shirt revealing my growing bump and bracing myself for what felt like freezing Atlantic ice. The lady then got out her fluid bottle and squeezed out a fair amount over my belly. She then turned on the monitor and carefully started scrolling over my stomach with the ultrasound cursor to find a heartbeat.

I was beginning to freak out...it was taking quite a while to find a beat...what if...if...if I nearly burst out crying, When all of a sudden the magical beat of life filled my ears.

Thank-god...To hear that babies heart beat... to me was like hearing Adam's voice again. A miracle.

"DADDY, DADDY CAN YOU HEAR IT!" Michelle squealed just as happy as I was.

I then smiled at my baby girl, "yup I sure can, doesn't it sound beautiful!"

"yup it sounds just like daddy!" Michelle giggled.

These very few words that just slipped out of my daughter's mouth were enough to break me. I just couldn't handle it, I broke down into tears and ran out of the hospital.

"!"

I could hear a faint voices calling after me, But I just kept running I can't do this anymore...I just can't...not without Adam...it isn't fair. When I had finally lost my breath I stopped running, collapsing onto my knees in tears. I soon then found myself in the sick children's fairy garden.

I felt a soft tapping on my shoulder...I turned around to find a small fragile child sitting by me.

"What's wrong...?" the child asked with a frail smile.

I then wiped the tears from my eyes facing the child I answered, "My partner is in a coma and I have a daughter plus another baby on the way...but I just don't think I can cope anymore...not without my partner...it's too hard."

The small child than looked at me with a puzzled expression, "but you still have your husband...he is just in a deep sleep and your daughter needs you...what would she do or think if you left her?"

Wow...this child I barely even know was so right I do still have my husband...I just have to have a little more hope and positive thoughts, I'm lucky he isn't gone and Michelle...I just left her! Oh gosh I'm such a bad parent!

I quickly turned to this innocent child and thanked him for talking to me and ran back upstairs to get Michelle. Wow this innocent sick child with just a few words had just made me realize that there is Hope and still plenty for me to live for. I just haven't been viewing everything the right way.

Once I arrived back upstairs in the maternity ward I saw Michelle talking to the nurse crying her eyes out. I felt so bad...I had just run out on my own daughter, leaving her with complete strangers.

"DADDY!" Michelle then noticed me coming back and screamed out to me, running with open arms.

I quickly scooped her up and showered her with kisses, "glitters I am so sorry...I just needed some air I was missing daddy a bit too much!"

"You mean you didn't leave me, I wasn't a bad girl?" Michelle broke out into a smile.

Oh my gosh. What have I made my daughter think...

I broke out into tears again, "MICHELLE NO NEVER! I would never leave you! I love you way too much to do that!" I replied.

Michelle then gripped onto me tighter and nestled her tiny face into my shoulders. After I apologized, thanked the nurses for looking after Michelle and finished my check-up. I went back down to the fairy garden I wanted to thank and meet this child again but properly.

I then arrived at the fairy garden once again, but this time with Michelle in my arms. The child thankfully was still here just staring at the clouds, I then slowly walked over to him.

"Hi I'm Tommy Joe Lambert and this is my daughter Michelle...thank-you so much for talking to me, you made me realize something that I shouldn't have to be reminded. Is there anything I can do for you?" I said smiling.

The boy looked about three or four years older than Michelle.

The boy then replied smiling, "You're welcome anytime. By the way my name is Sam, You can't do anything for me...but there is just one thing I would like..."

I was a bit confused by what he meant...but I then answered smiling, "and what is that?"

The boy then came closer and whispered in mine and Michelle's ear, "can we all be friends?"

Tears rose to my eyes all this child wanted was to be friends...How could I decline. Before I could reply and hug the boy, Michelle to my surprise gave him a big kiss on the cheek and accepted.

Wow...well I think she gets that from her dad, I giggled to myself. The poor boy turned crimson, Hmm I'm going to have to have a talk to Michelle about kissing random people.

For the rest of the afternoon I let Michelle and Sam play until the nurses came back to get him. Sam then asked, "Will you be here tomorrow?"

Michelle then looked up at me with her big blue eyes and I replied smiling at the boy, "of course we will, won't we Michelle."

Life works in funny ways...
