Lion Prince ❀ Tiffany & Leo
Despite those mama doe instincts of hers, exhaustion had won and sleep claimed her before she could actually see their son. She slept so good too. Deep and restful. She’d feel at least a little recharged by the time she came to. Of course it’d be questionable when exactly she’d wake up. The events that passed had been dragged out for quite awhile.
And so she laid there. Sleeping and healing. But eventually a noise woke her up. She had no idea how much time had passed. Could have been hours. Or maybe only half an hour. But regardless, she only took a moment to be groggy and confused before everything hit her at once and she suddenly jerked awake. In a soft raspy voice that made it very clear she had a slight sore throat, she croaked out,
“Tae? Taekwoonie? Where is he? Did he cry? Is he okay? Is he here? Where’s my baby?”
She was a nervous wreck and they weren’t even home yet. They were still in the hospital. Motherhood was going to be one long and bumpy ride.
