{Third person's pov}After spending a month on bed Hazel was finally recovering, and after getting the permission of her doctor they were allowed to travel back to their place. They arrived at their house, and Alan left to attend and take care of all the missed meetings. Hazel was alone when the door bell rang, she slowly stood up and opened the door just to witness Ema.The moment the door opened, Ema’s eyes immediately dropped to Hazel’s small baby bump before she dramatically gasped. “Oh my God.”Without even greeting her properly, she rushed forward and hugged Hazel carefully. “You’re finally back!”Hazel laughed softly, hugging her back. “Hi to you too.”Ema pulled back and held Hazel’s face gently, inspecting her like an overprotective sister. “How are you feeling? Are you okay? Is the baby okay? Is Alan still behaving like an overprotective bodyguard?”Hazel couldn’t help laughing again. “Yes, yes, and yes.”Ema scoffed knowingly while walking inside the apartment. “That man

{Third person's pov}Hazel walked inside the room where Alan was doing something on his laptop, even though it was Sunday."Alan.... it's Sunday! let's go somewhere, maybe we can buy stuffs to decorate our baby's room..." Hazel said as she walked towards him and closed his laptop. Alan blinked in surprise as his laptop snapped shut mid-email. “Hey...”He looked up at Hazel standing in front of him with her hands on the laptop, clearly determined. And just like that, whatever he had been working on stopped mattering.His eyes drifted down instinctively to her growing baby bump before a helpless smile spread across his face.“You want to go baby shopping?”Hazel nodded excitedly. “And decorate the nursery.”Alan leaned back in his chair slowly, pretending to think hard about it. “Hm… I don’t know. I’m very busy. Important businessman things.”Hazel narrowed her eyes immediately. “Alan.”He broke into laughter almost instantly and reached for her hand, gently pulling her into his lap. “

{Third person's pov}In the operation theatre Hazel cried in pain as the baby made it's way out of her, Alan stood there, his own eyes held tears.The sight of her in such pain broke his heart and he kept stroking her hair. "Just a little while, baby." He whispered.Hazel squeezed his hand harder and harder, the more she felt the pain, the more she squeezed his hand.Alan never let go of her hand.No matter how tightly she squeezed, he only tightened his own grip in return.His heart was breaking, If he could have taken even a fraction of her pain onto himself, he would have done it without a second thought.“I'm here.” He whispered, brushing damp strands of hair away from her forehead. “Keep looking at me, baby.”Hazel cried out through another contraction, tears streaming freely down her face as she gripped his hand with all the strength she had left.Alan's own eyes filled. “That's it...” His voice trembled.“You're so strong.”He kissed her forehead gently, not caring that his own

{Third person's pov}"So aunt Ema, what are the names that you got on the list?" Hazel asked and Alan looked at her baby girl. "I hope you got something nice or else I will reject every name." Ema gasped dramatically. “Excuse me?” She clutched the notepad to her chest. “I have impeccable taste.”Alan smirked, still gently rocking the baby in his arms. “We'll be the judges of that.”Ema narrowed her eyes at him before flipping open the notepad. “Fine. Listen carefully.”She cleared her throat theatrically. “First... Olivia.” Hazel smiled thoughtfully. “Oh... that's beautiful.”Alan nodded. “I like that.” Ema grinned triumphantly.“Second...Charlotte.”Alan looked down at his daughter..“Elegant.”“Third... Lily.” Ema said and Hazel smiled. “That one's really sweet.”Ema continued reading. “Emma, Amelia, Sophia, Grace, Claire, Isla, Evelyn.”Alan listened patiently, occasionally glancing down at the sleeping baby nestled against his chest.Finally, Ema closed the notepad. “So?”She loo
