Congratulations Ms Platt it is a girl the head nurse Mary smiled as she handed a little bundle over to me

I smiled down at my baby girl as tears of joy swelled in my eyes
"My sweet girl." I says as i place a gentle kiss on the girls head

"What name shall we place on her birth certificate for her?" Asked the nurse

" her name is Elizabeth. Elizabeth May Platt." I inform them as i keep smiling at my precious daughter who has now wrapped her small fingers around one of mine

"Very well Ms Platt I'll get all the paperwork work in order so you can sign it." The nurse informed me as she left the room

Before the door closed shut my sweet baby started to cry I smiled and held her close to me as I rocked her I soon began to notice my sweet angel trying to latch on to me and I understood she was just hungry so I pulled down my hospital gown and helped her latch on to feed

"Don't worrie sweet girl your momma is going to take great care of you." I tell her as she feeds finally everything seems to be looking up I'm away from Charles and I got my sweet girl with me I couldn't be anymore happier

That night as I went to bed I made sure my sweet girl was close to me in her crib she woke up several times through out the night wanting to be held or with a slight cough although the night nurse said it was normal with some babies it made me nervous I would have to wait till the doctor came in to ask him about it

The next day as I held her she opened her eyes they where the warmest brown I have ever seen I almost laughed at that she does not seem to share any of her father it is like she is 100% my baby

Later that day I was just enjoying the closeness of my child waiting for the time the doctor finally arrived by then Elizabeth seemed to develop a fever and I was getting more concerned

They told me she might have lung fever the doctor gave her some medication and said all we could do is wait to see if she gets better

I hoped that in a few days we will both be healthy and free to leave here and start our happy family but that night as I tried to stay wake to watch her but I must have fell asleep at some point and when I woke she was not in her crib

I was frantic "where is my baby? " I yelled and as soon as I did a new looking nurse rushed in the room as I was still frantically looking around the room close to hyperventilating trying to find my girl

"Ms Platt you need to calm down" she said as if my child was not missing I looked at her with tears in my eyes as she graved on to my shoulder
"Where is my baby" I begged

She led me to the bed and sat me down "Ms Platt I'm sorry to say your child did not make it through out the night we had to take her away so the fever would not spread to any other patient "

I looked at her shocked "how could you take my baby with out waking me up how could you take her without telling me where is she I want to see her" I demanded

"As I said Ms Platt we can not risk any other patients getting the fever you can pick up your child's remains in a few days but I can not allow you to see her" she informed me

My heart shattered in to a million pieces as I cried "so you will not even let me say good bye to my baby after telling me she is gone you won't even let me kiss her one more time" I asked between sobs of my broken heart

I'm sorry Ms Platt but I can not I will have your nurse draw up discharge papers but as I said you can stop by in a few day for the remains and her death certificate I'm sorry" she said as she left the room

I stared at the wall for I dont know how long before my normal nurse Mary came in to the room she smiled at me " how are you today Ms Platt where is sweet Elizabeth " she asked

I started to cry once more " they said she didn't make it through the night" I whispered in a broken voice

She looked at me concerned " I'm so sorry Ms Platt is there anything I can do for you"

"I just want to go home please " I said with my head hung low trying to hold in my tears

" Very well I will draw up the paper work I'm sorry for you loss Ms Platt " she walked out of the room I sat there for a moment just crying but then it hit me I have nothing left anymore my baby is gone I'm alone and I don't wish to return to my parents so I quickly left that room and that dreadful hospital I needed to join my baby

(HEAD NURSE MARY POV)
   20 MIN later

I just finished drawing up the paper work for poor Ms Platt I wonder who had to pronounce the sweet child's death as I was making my way back to Ms Platt's room I notice something that catches my attention real fast some random woman dressed as a nurse carrying a baby towards the exit door

I hurry in front of her so she can't leave "Excuse me ma'am who are you and what are you doing with that child" I ask as she tries to get around me

I quickly grave the baby and call for some help soon a few more nurses and a few doctors show and help detain her " call the police she was trying to take off with this child " as she shouts calling out to the baby she calls Liz and trying to say it is hers

One of the other nurses go to call the police as I take the baby away down the hall it is when I look down at the crying infant only to realize I am hold baby Elizabeth

I soon come to the realization that woman must have told Ms Platt that her baby did not make it to run off with the child "shh shh oh sweet child your mother will be so happy to see you" I say to the girl

After I inform the nurse who called the police of what must have happened I walk back to Ms Platt's room only to find it empty and Ms Platt gone

The baby began to cry even more as I assume her mother just left thinking the worst for her child I quickly take the child with me to try and find their mother after looking for ten minutes to no avail I try calling the number we had for Ms Platt but got no answer

" Don't worrie baby we will get you back to your mother soon " I say as I feed her a bottle of formula another nurse brought for her

When the child has finally fallen asleep and I talk to the police they told me that the would have Ms Platt about what happened and for her to come to the hospital to get her baby

After a few hours of no response from the police they finally show up but unfortunately they tell me of the child's mother's condition It broke my heart it seems Ms Platt decided to jump off a cliff for the loss of her daughter and they said she was to far gone to be saved

After a few days and with the baby in good health we were able to get ahold of Ms Platt's parents who where you able to come and take the child But because of that woman that child would have to grow up not knowing her mother
