You have a daughter

"Beep beep beep," these are the sounds that my ears register in my surroundings, I slowly open my heavy eyelids and realize am lying on a hospital bed. I try to raise my hand but my fingers are entangled in someone else's hands. The other hand is painful and I see it's connected to a cannula. I hate being admitted in a hospital. The stench of blood and seeing people hurt is really not my cup of tea, my mum was a nurse and she would brag it's fun but I didn't see any fun there.

I stare at Ray uncomfortably sleeping next to me, not letting go of my fingers. I try to slowly free my hand from his without waking him up but instead what I tried to avoid happens, he instantly wakes up stroking my hand he's holding gently.

"Your finally awake", he says.

I nod my head. My throat is still dry and have a little headache. I point to the water jar on the table and he pours me a glass. I gallop all of it instantly. Leah who's also lying on the couch wakes up on hearing noises in the room.
