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

wanted to be reminded. I wanted to see

it again.

I was playing with her fingers and I must’ve zoned out because when I focused on her face again, there was something new, something that wasn’t there before.

Tears.

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.
