Chapter 37 Wake Her Up

Logan POV

It had been a few hours since Emma woke up and fell back asleep again.

I was sitting on a chair next to her bed, holding her hand in mine, letting the sparks and tingles soothe me. Andrew was asleep with his head on her belly.

I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t keep my eyes away from her face, hoping that she would open her eyes again. I memorized everything about her. I memorized how her lashes were so long that they touched her cheek slightly, how her lips were full and perfectly shaped, how her cheeks were tinted pink and soft. I just needed her to open her eyes so that I could memorize them as well. I wanted to know each and every color and fleck her eyes held. Not that I didn’t know already, but I

My breath got caught in my throat and my heart tugged painfully in my chest. She was crying. My baby was crying.

I moved so fast that the room was nothing but a blur. I held her face in my hands and wiped her tears away with my thumbs.

“Emma, baby, wake up, please.” I told her, my voice trembling.

My movements woke up Andrew. He lifted his head and looked at me,

confused.

“She won’t be waking up for a while, Logan.” he mumbled. “You heard what the doctor said.”

“She is crying, Andrew.” I said quietly, not moving my gaze from her face.

I could feel Andrew tense up. He gasped, and he was up in a second. The tears were still falling down her cheeks faster than I could wipe them away. Whatever she was dreaming about was hurting her.

“Emma.” Andrew called her. “Wake up, please.”

I caressed her cheeks with my thumbs, sending pleasurable shivers down my body.

“Little one, please,” Andrew spoke again.
