put
my hands up in surrender and made my way over to my wife's bedside. When I
realized Bennett was sleeping, I laughed to myself. How anybody could sleep
through any of this was beyond me. I glanced around the room and my heart
dropped to my knees when I couldn't see Charlie anywhere.
    "Where
the fuck is my daughter?" I was standing over Theo enraged.
    "What
do you mean, she's right th-" Theo pointed towards the table where Charlie
had been just seconds ago. "Oh my god, Gray. I'll go find her."
    "Don't
do me any favors. I think you've done enough." I growled. "And don't
you dare wake up Bennett while all of this is going on. She has enough to worry
about."
    "I'll
help, Gray." Hannah's voice grew increasingly louder as she approached me.
I just shrugged my shoulders and rolled my eyes at their childish behavior.
    We all
went separate ways in search of my baby girl. There's no way she could have
gotten far. For crying out loud she wasn't even two yet. My heart was racing as
my adrenaline coursed through my veins. If we didn't find my Charlie soon, I
was going to start freaking out.
    I
checked and double checked every nook and cranny of
that damn maternity ward, before I finally went to ask a nurse. I hadn't heard
anything from Theo or Hannah, so I just assumed they hadn't found Charlie
either. As I approached the tiny older nurse whose name I absolutely just
couldn't remember, I almost started crying. I hadn't felt this emotional or out
of control since the night Raylon took Bennett. I was sick and tired of
something always happening to someone I love.
    "Excuse
me ma'am, have you seen a little brown haired little girl?"
    "I'm
sorry, honey, I don't believe I have. Let me ask around really quick and put
out an announcement." All my pent up rage seemed to dissipate the minute
this friendly woman looked at me. Her small green eyes surrounded by wrinkles
had a sudden calming effect on me, and I stepped back to take a long deep
breath.
    "Thank
you." I whispered as she walked away. I wasn't quite sure where she was
going, but she said she would help.
    I paced
back and forth for what felt like an hour, when she finally reappeared from a
back room. I quickly made my way back over to the desk; hope the only emotion I
could feel.
    "Okay,
Miranda says she saw her down the hall in front of the NICU doors."
    "Oh
thank God. Thank you so much, uh..."
    "It's
Dorothy, dear."
    "Thank
you, Dorothy."
    With
that, I turned and ran my ass down the hall and out of the maternity ward. As
soon as I hit the corner of the NICU, there my baby girl sat on a young nurse's
lap, laughing and giggling without a care in the world.
    "Charlie
Reagan, you scared Daddy half to death." I reached out for Charlie and she
happily climbed into my open arms. I glanced up at the nurse, "Thank you
so much. I don't know what I would've done if I couldn't find her."
    "You're
welcome, Mr. Weston. I'm guessing she just wanted to visit her little
brother."
    I
wasn't sure how this nurse knew me, but I brushed it off as I tucked Charlie
deep into my chest. As I gave the nurse a thank you grin, I turned to take
Charlie back to her mother. When we got back to the room, I went to grab my
phone from my back pocket, but realized that Hannah and Theo were already back
and Bennett was now awake. As if we hadn't already had a rough couple of days,
let's add losing my daughter to list of reasons my wife can be upset.
    "Well
hello there." I bent down, placing a chaste kiss to Bennett's forehead.
    "Oh
good, you found her." She reached for Charlie as she was already climbing
out of my arms.
    "She
was with a nurse outside of the NICU. I didn't want to wake you, and have you
worry."
    "I
appreciate it." Her tone of voice was off, and I couldn't tell if she was
angry at the situation or me. Maybe even both.
    "Are
you okay?" I whispered in her ear.
    "I'm
fine. I'm a little pissed off at Hannah at the moment, but what are ya gonna
do?" She whispered back.
    I stood
from my wife's bedside and made my
