♢♢CHAPTER EIGHTEEN♢♢
**Delilah**
"Hey Hazel", I practically scream as I feel her tiny arms wrap around my neck.
"Deeee", she extends my name making me laugh as Blake enters behind me.
"I missed you so much sweetie-pie", I tickle her and she giggles covering her face.
"Jane say mommy and daddy getting married", Hazel screams with wide eyes and I laugh looking at my naked hand. I panic seeing my ring is gone. Tears blur my eyes and I fall to my knees. I can't believe my ring is gone.
"Looking for this?", Blake asks searching is pocket, and reveals my ring.
"My ring!", I gasp and he places it back on my finger.
"I found it in my car, it must of fallen off when I placed you in the car", he explains and I stare at the diamond.
"Thank you", I whisper wrapping my arms around him and he chuckles, placing a kiss on my temple.
"Congratulations you two!", Jane enters embracing me in a tight hug and I thank her.
"You have to tell me every.single.detail", she narrows her eyes and me and I laugh nervously.
"Where do I start?", I mumble and Blake gently squeezes my hand beside me.
"And how has my little princess been doing", I kiss Hazel cheeks and she laughs.
"I'm fine", she lets out a horrible cough and I gently rub circles on her back.
I look over to Jane and she frowns placing a glass of water towards her little lips.
"Can we talk?", she asks nodding towards Hazel and my stomach suddenly churns.
I frown crossing my arms and Jane in the hallway.
"Hazel is such a sweet little girl, but I'm afraid she's been only getting worse", she says the last thing I expect to hear.
"How much worse?", I ask with a heavy heart watching Blake tickle her through the glass window and she laughs kicking her tiny legs in the air.
"She's having a hard time breathing on her own since her lungs are weakening, and she's been on the inhaler at night", she explains and I hold my hand over my mouth with conern.
"Is she going...to be okay?", I ask and Jane looks at me with sadness clear in her blue eyes and a ball suddenly appears in my throat.
"I'm afraid the doctors can't do anything about it, because she's so young and her little lungs are not fully developed yet. Anything we do might puncture it and she'll run out of oxygen in a second", her voice low and my eyes brim with hot tears.
"Can I take her somewhere?", I ask wiping a tear and she nods her head 'yes'.
"But just don't do any physical activities because she's become very short-breathe", she warns hugging me and I bite the inside of my cheeks to stop the tears from falling.
My wipe the brim of my eyes before letting out a shakey breathe. I enter the room and Hazel lays on the bed as Blake tells her a story about 'Tinkerbell
His eyes land on mine and immediately softens. He knows.
He places a kiss to her cheek before handing her, her pink stuffed teddy.
She sequels bringing it to her chest squeezing it in a hug.
Blake smiles looking at Hazel as he walks towards me. "You found out?", he ask and I nod with a frown.
He bites his lip pulling me into his chest and his smell comforts me as I let tears escape down my cheeks.
"When d-did you f-find out?", I stutter into his chest and he tigthens his grip resting his chin on my head as we watch Hazel playing with the teddy in the air.
"I visited her when we were apart", he says his voice comes out distant and I grip his t- shirt fabric in a fist, holding him as tightly to me as possible.
"Even she reminded me of you", he admits and I stay slient taking in his words, which held so much more meaning then I'll ever know. It held raw emotion.
"She's going to be okay", he says and I smile as she speaks to her teddy.
"She's a fighter, she'll through this", the fall from his mouth and he sounds like his not just convincing me, but himself too.
"Mommy Dee why you crying?", Hazel looks confused with her head slightly tilted to the side and I force a smile.
I find it so adorable whenever she calls me 'mommy' and Blake 'daddy' . And it's funny because I actually feel like we're a family.
"It's happy tears Hazel", I reply and she continues to play. Blake unwraps his arms around me before placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Hazel how about we get our nails done", I say and squeals causing me to laugh.
"Can me get pink nails?", she asks cutely standing up on the bed.
"Of course you can", I answer and she jumps clapping her hands in excitement.
"We better get going then", I say and she jumps into my arms wraping one arm around my neck.
"You have a pretty dress on", I compliment and she giggles.
"Skylar took her shopping, she's been practically begging me to go with everywhere I went during the worst weeks of my life", Blake tells me with a frown before catching my gaze and he forces a smile.
"We should invite her on our girls day then", I say and Hazel nods in agreement. I really miss Skylar, I havent seen her since forever before I left the cafè...
I quickly text her and she says she couldn't be happier I asked and I'm super excited to see her in such a long time and she says she'll meet us there.
Blake soon drops off at the mall and we find Skylar waiting for us at the nail-salon.
"Delilah!", Skylar screams running towards me crushing my bones in a hug before she does the same to Hazel.
"My nails need a make-over", she pulls my arm into the salon, with Hazels tiny hand wrapped in mine.
We seated behind a desk where a lady with a heart warming smile hands up a tower of different nail paints.
Hazel immediately screams 'pink', I decide on a glossy grey and Skylar roams looking at the glossy reds.
"So when are we wedding dress shopping?", Skylar squeals excitedly and I laugh.
"I was thinking of going nextweek, and Blake wanted we to take his mother...well your mother as well with for the wedding dress shopping", I say and she smiles.
"Can I come?", she asks with hopeful eyes.
"I thought you'd never ask", I laugh and claps her hands excitedly gaining some attention, but she waves them off.
"I can't wait to have you as my sister", she squeals and I appreciate the fact that she's excited as I am on having a new sister, since I was the only child all my life. But I never really felt like the only child since I practially considered gran as a sister growing up.
She might be my gran...but she's totally more than that.
