****************

It's been five days since Catherine woke up. Now she can sit up and hold her daughter. The first time she held her, everything she felt, every insecurities she has vanished, her eyes teared up with an overwhelming sense of protectiveness, love and adoration for this little girl. And that's the second time in her life she fell in love with the same eyes. She looked exactly like Jeremy with a beautiful pair of green eyes.

"My baby" She cooed. The emptiness she was feeling filled with love for the little soul she is supposed to take care off and love unconditionally. The moment the baby fell asleep and the nurse came in to take her away. Again the emptiness gawked at her.

In these five days everyone came to visit her. Her parents, Jane,Cassandra, even Coltrane, everyone except Jeremy. Everytime she looked at the door hopefully it would get crushed.

Is he angry about what she decided?

Did he see their daughter?

Will she become daddy's princess?

Does he feel the same way she did?

For the last five days these are the thoughts revolving around her mind. And the fact that Jeremy is right outside in the hallway but not coming in only frustrated her.

The second day when He did not visit her, she asked Cassandra, "Where is he?"

Cassandra had a troubled look before telling her the truth that he is right outside.

"Can you tell him I want to see him?" Catherine asked hopefully which Cassandra refused and told her that Jeremy doesn't want her to know he is here. It's almost like he is punishing her. Tears filled her eyes falling one by one. Cassandra consoled her looking confused. She tried to control her emotions.

"Why is he doing this?" She asked, feeling choked.

"Only he can answer that," Cassandra said.

"Is he angry at me?" Catherine asked out loud. She cannot ask this to her parents nor Jane who is taking care of her. She is grateful for what Jane is doing. She treats her like she is her own daughter showering her with love more than her mother ever did.

"He is," Cassandra said, looking straight at her.

"I don't want him to choose between me and our baby. I cannot let him do that"

"Catherine explained it to him not me" she knows what Cassandra said makes sense but she is not in the mood of making sense anymore. Five days it's been five day since she is here stuck on this goddamn bed and the fact that he is right outside but refuses to see her.

"For that he needs to be here, he needs to listen to me let me see him. I am going mad. Why don't he understand?" She yelled tears filling her eyes.

"He does" Cassandra looked at her softly patting her hand.

"He does more than anyone and I believe he is punishing himself by not seeing you"

Cassandra looked away for a while putting her forefinger on her chin as if she was thinking something then smiled at her.

"When the first time he held the baby he cried, there were tears in his eyes. And when she started crying, Jeremy literally had a panic attack, he even tried to make funny faces to make her laugh. Can you imagine?" Cassandra chuckled causing Catherine to giggle as well.

"He loves her" Catherine said so confidently that the person who rushed hearing her yelling stand by the door felt his eyes pricked.

'I do' Jeremy whispered before leaving them to be.

He still remembers what happened a few days ago.

When Catherine was feeding Janice her parents came to visit, her mother entered the room while he was right outside with Carson.

"What are you going to name her?" Carina asked.

Catherine was too busy to admire her little princess to be bothered by anything. But her mother's question caught her attention.

"I am not going to name her" She shook her head before making sure the baby burped.

"Well then..." Carina did not get to finish her sentence.

"I decided if the baby is a boy then I will name him, if she is a girl then Jeremy will name her" Catherine smiled touching her nose with her belly. The baby giggled.

"How could you let him decide that?" Carina asked.

"This is not up for discussion mother. He is her father and my husband he has every right on her just as much as I do" Catherine said stare at her mother making sure she gets her message. She has messed up her life but she will not let her mother mess up her baby's life. And Carina is no one to be involved in between father and daughter.

"How could you let him do this when he left you?" Carina was not going to let her daughter make mistakes.

"I love him" Catherine smiled at her mother.

"Nothing is going to change that and I have hurt him so much in the past if we are going to count everything then I will win because it is always me who hurt him more" Carina faced redden, her daughter is too much into him to listen to logic.

7 days

It's been seven days.

Dr.Brown signed the documents and told her that she could leave. Jane brought her a beautiful white dress which reached her knees. She gained weight after the child birth.

Cassandra helped her. She is almost here everyday and Catharine could not be more thankful. She is always there to calm her down when her emotions go hearsay.

Dr.Brown said that many women go through this. Some even went through horrible depression in that case she is doing fine almost except her occasional outburst.

"We are here to take you" Carina said as they entered her room. Cassandra throw a cold glare at her. Catherine was ready to go home. She was just waiting for Jane to come back with her daughter.

"What do you mean mother?" She asked confused at how she said those words.

"I said that you are coming home with us" Carina said leaving no space for argument. Her eyes shot up.

"Sweetheart I think your mother is right. Stay with us for a while" Carson said, Cassandra just rolled her eyes.

"No" Catherine crossed her arms glaring at Carina. 'How can she think that I will let her take the decision of my life?'

"What?" Carina looked at her shocked.

"You hear me loud and clear, I am not coming with you" Catherine will not back down which makes Cassandra smirked. She is almost enjoying this looking at the woman who always tried to control their life. Slowly that control slipping.

"What are you saying?" Carina could not hold back and yelled.

"I have let you stay with him and what he does? You were on the verge of death because of him and the baby was born. Now that is done. You are coming with me and that's final" Carina glare at her.

"No I am not"

"I am going with Jane and staying with her till Jeremy comes and gets me. Do you hear me? " Catherine asked.
