Molly.
"Do you want me to hang around?"
I tried to tell Ben that I would appreciate that but all that came out was a sob. Just knowing that my little girl was in the hospital all alone and hurting was killing me. After being told the rooms that Molly and Vera were in Ben and I separated to attend to both of them. I owed Ben so much for going to sit with Vera while I checked on Molly.
It was a good thing that I was alone when I walked into my daughter's room because I broke down as soon as I saw my daughter lying in the hospital bed. Of course I was still worried about how she was doing but after seeing that she wasn't hooked up to any big machines I became relieved. I wasn't a doctor but I assumed since she was breathing on her own with only a heart monitor connected to her that she was going to be just fine.
The doctor quickly came in and explained everything to me and assured me that Molly was fine just a bump on the head and a slight concussion. I sat there holding her hand and crying thanking every deity out there for keeping her safe from all the terrible things that could have happened to her.
After a while I left Molly's room to go check on Vera and find Ben. The doctor came in to talk to me and honestly it felt like I was in a cloud because all I wanted to do was go back to Molly's room and wait for her to wake up. I vaguely remember answering a few questions and sitting down because all the adrenalin had left my body.
When I looked back over my shoulder the doctor had left the room and Ben was looking at me as if I was in need of a doctor. "Ben thanks for being here. I'm not even sure I would have made it to the hospital if it weren't for you." I felt an immediate calm spread over me as Ben placed his hand on my shoulder. It was the same feeling I get when I am around Bella. Before I could focus on it too much Vera's parents walked in and her mother launched herself into my arms. This was the perfect opportunity for me to leave and get back to Molly, where I really wanted to be.
Before Ben could leave I asked him to follow me upstairs so he could meet the apple of my eye and see why I had almost killed myself to get to the hospital. Ben was very cautious as we approached Molly's room, which was very different from how the rest of my friends reacted when they met her, but then again she wasn't in the hospital then either.
When I reached Molly's side I leaned down and lightly kissed her forehead not wanting to cause her anymore pain. "Ben this is my daughter Molly. She'll be five in six weeks. Vera and I had her right out of high school; she was an accident but still the best thing that has ever happened to me. Vera and I have joint legal and joint physical custody of her. She is the most important thing in my life and I would give anything to trade places with her right now."
I was carefully smoothing her hair down just before she opened her eyes and I heard the most beautiful voice speak to me. "Daddy, what happened?" I was so happy to hear her voice I couldn't help but sob as tears poured freely down my face. "Princess, I'm so glad you're OK. You and mommy had an accident but you're going to be just fine."
"What about mommy, when can I see her?"
I knew she was going to ask this question but I wasn't sure how to respond. Of course she should be allowed to see Vera, but neither of them was healthy enough for that right now. Also I didn't want her to get scared by seeing Vera right now.
"Molly, I'm Ben a friend of your dad's, and your mommy is in the hospital too but as soon as she is better I'm sure nobody would ever dream of keeping you from her." Ben stepped up saving my ass again but what really shocked me was how different he was around her. Of course the guys all calmed down around her but this was different. It was as if Ben was trying to be her friend and not another adult. The only people who have ever treated Molly this way were her Vera's mother and sister and Rose, basically women.
"Well Miss Molly it was a great pleasure to meet you but I'm afraid that I need to be going." I kissed her forehead again before I followed Ben out to the elevator. I grabbed him by the shoulder before he was out of my reach. I had to ask him for another favor, "Ben thanks again and about Molly, could you not tell anyone else? I mean all the guys know but I don't want her to be forced into the public eye." He slightly nodded his head before patting me on the back, "Don't worry Edward I won't tell anyone about Molly." Of course him being the great guy he is I didn't even really need to ask it was more like he already knew.
Molly's eyes were already starting to droop when I came back into the room and sat beside her. "Daddy, you look sad." I tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear. "I was really scared that you were hurt and if anything ever happened to you I don't know what I would do." Molly's tiny hand reached up and she tried to smooth out the wrinkles on my forehead. "I love you daddy." I kissed the palm of her hand. "I love you too, my precious little girl."
Leave me love or hate I don't care as long as you guys are talking to me.
