The world came back in a series of disjointed flashes. The scent of antiseptic. The beeping of machines. A low murmur of voices. A crushing pain on my chest.

I tried to open my eyes, but they felt like they were glued shut. I tried to speak, but my throat was dry, my lips cracked.

My voice was a hoarse, unfamiliar croak.

I looked around the room, my mind foggy, my memories a jumbled mess. I was in a hospital room, the

white walls a stark contrast to the dark, bloody forest I remembered.

“Dominic,” I whispered, my heart clenching in my chest. “Where’s Dominic? Where’s the baby?”

“He’s right here,” she said, gesturing towards the other side of the bed.

I turned my head, and there he was, slumped in a chair, his head resting on the bed, his hand still holding mine. He was asleep, his face pale his clothes stained with my blood.

Dominic and I had decided to not know the baby’s gender until birth, it was all planned perfectly. The shock that would be on our faces when u pushed out our baby and we discovered if we were having another boy or a girl, but all that was ruined by Tricia.

“She’s okay?” I asked, needing to hear him say it again.

“She’s okay,” he confirmed. “She’s a little small, a little early, but she’s a warrior. And was taken out of the NICU two days ago. She’s already breathing on her own. The doctors are optimistic.”

I closed my eyes, a single tear rolling down my cheek. She was alive. My daughter was alive. It was all that

mattered.

“I want to see her,” I said, my voice firm. “I need to see her.”

“You need to rest,” Dominic said, his thumb stroking my cheek. “You lost a lot of blood. You need to

recover.”

“I don’t care,” I said, my gaze unwavering. “I need to see my daughter. Take me to her. Please.”

He looked at me, his eyes filled with a mixture of love and concern. He knew I wouldn’t take no for an

answer.

“Okay,” he sighed, defeated. “Okay, I’ll talk to the doctors.”

He came back a few minutes later, a wheelchair in tow. “Alright, Luna,” he said, a small smile playing on his lips. “Let’s go meet your daughter.”

He helped me into the wheelchair, his touch gentle. As he wheeled me out of the room and down the hallway, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of deja vu. It wasn’t that long ago that I was in a hospital, giving birth to Liam, a new life, a new beginning. It almost didn’t feel like it’s been six years.

But this was different. This was a miracle.

We arrived at the baby’s nursery. He pointed towards a small glass room that held three tiny bassinets. My eyes scanned the room, my heart pounding in my chest.

And then I saw her.

She was the smallest thing I had ever seen, her tiny body wrapped in a pink blanket, a small hat on her head. She was sleeping, her chest rising and falling with each breath.

“She’s beautiful,” I whispered, my heart overflowing with a love so intense, it was almost painful.

“She is,” Dominic said, his arm wrapping around my shoulders. “She’s our little miracle.”

I reached out, my fingers pressing against the cool glass. “She has my eyes?” I asked, my voice filled with

wonder.

“She does,” he confirmed. “And your nose. You finally got your twin, baby. She’s your spitting image.”

I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was perfect. A tiny, perfect human being, a product of our love, a

Aria. I rolled the name around in my mind, testing it, feeling its weight. It fit. It was perfect.

“Aria,” I said, a small smile on my face. “I love it’

He smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the comers. “Me too.”

We stood there for a long time, just watching her, lost in our own little world. Valerie returned with Liam who was all too eager to finally meet his baby sister. The joy on his face when he saw her through the glass, the way he would press his face against it in pure amazement was enough to make me smile.

“She’s so tiny” He whispered in awe, genuinely fascinated. “Her so small.”

“She is, buddy” Dominic told him, ruffling his hair. “That’s why we have to be gentle with her.”

I was wheeled back to my room, the image of Aria’s tiny face seared into my memory. I was exhausted, my body aching, but my spirit was soaring. I was a mother again. I had two children now, a beautiful boy and a perfect little girl. And I had the love of my life by my side.

We had fought off our enemies and came out victorious.

Life was finally working in our favor.

And for the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of peace, a feeling of contentment that I hadn’t felt in years. The nightmare was over. And we were ready to start a new chapter, a chapter filled with love, laughter, and the beautiful chaos of family.
