Small doses

Luna got me into a room while Dom and Grey waited in the lobby. It wasn't because they didn't want to be with me. Grey wanted to give me privacy, and Luna didn't think that Dom should be in here.

"Luna, how long will this take?" I ask.

"Hours, maybe minutes. You can do it. I'll be here until your little girl is here." Luna said, holding my hand.

After 6 hours, she was here. The nurse cleaned her up and handed her to me. Tears fell as my baby girl touched my skin.

"What's the baby's name?" A nurse asked softly.

"Paisley.." I said, planting a kiss on her head as she cried with me.

"Beautiful name," Luna said, "I'm going to talk to Wade. We'll be back here in a little while."

Doctors and nurses left the room shortly after Luna did.

"H-Hi Paisley," I said, moving her blanket out of her face. "I love you,"

Paisley was asleep on my chest, I didn't want to move her, fearing my nightmares of her being taken. I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon.

Grey and Luna came in shortly after I had fed her. Paisley was laying on her back between my legs. I still wasn't ready to place her in the little cot they had for her.

"She's adorable." Grey said as Luna took a seat next to me.

"Thanks," I said, barely a whisper. Luna placed the clipboard on the side table. I made my choice. Grey and Luna watched as my shaky hand signed the papers. In 2 days, my baby will be in John and Bailey's home, then the 14 days begin.

The 2 days flew by quickly as if the universe was telling me to let go of my baby girl. Luna told me that John and Bailey would be keeping her name, but changing her last name to Nolan.

"Lucy, you have 2 weeks until you have to make the final decision. You'll make the right choice," Grey said, looking at his wife, hoping his words would do something.

"I know.." I said, holding my sleeping baby one last time. I took out a small box I had packed.

"Paisley..." I started, my eyes welled up with tears.

"I-I want you to know that I love you. I alway will. I hope you understand that I'm doing this for you in hope you'll live a better life than your father and I. I promise that..that you'll be okay." I croak.

"Your dad gave this necklace to me on our first valentines day...I want you to have it, I love you Paisley." I said softly, tears falling fast. I picked her up, placing one last kiss on her head before handing her to Luna. She and Grey were crying too.
