Thankfully Elsie and the neighbouring Aunt Ms Fiona and the bakery couple Mr and Mrs Clark were able to take her to the hospital on time.
     A nurse came out carrying Harriet's small babygirl in a white fluffy towel and handed her to Elsie...
    Elsie was over the moon , she smothered her face with kisses.
    " Elsie come on give her to me also.." Mrs Clark said and took Harriet's baby in her arms.
     One by one they all carried her and fell in love with the tiny baby who looked like a doll... Pretty and fragile just like her mom.
    Harriet was shifted to another ward and regained her conscious after an hour.
    She looked at Mrs Clark carrying her baby and others surrounding and cooeing her babygirl...
   " El.." she called Elsie who stood up and came to her with a huge smile.
   " Harriet she looks so cute and her eyes are just like you..." Elsie squealed in happiness.
    Mrs Clark gave the sleeping babygirl in Harriet's arm carefully.
    Harriet looked at her baby and tears rolled down her eyes , the baby started wriggling her hands as if trying to hug her mum.
    Harriet pulled her babygirl more into her chest and as she opened her eyes Harriet muttered...
    " Hazel.." 
    " It's such a beautiful and perfect name for her." Elsie said and everyone agreed with her.
    After two days Harriet was discharged from the hospital and Ms Fiona helped her to her house because Elsie had to go back to her home , Mrs and Mrs Clark had to look after the bakery as Harriet was on leave.
    Harriet was playing with Hazel on their bed when she saw her scrunching her nose cutely because of cinnamon smell which was coming from outside .
     She chuckled and closed the window first and lied beside Hazel.
    " You also don't like cinnamon smell just like your dadda ,he used to scrunch his nose just like you..." Harriet said with teary eyes and a smile.
    Hazel squealed and threw her arms around after hearing about her dadda making Harriet's heart clench.
    " I am sorry baby , I know you love your dadda but we can't go back to him... You mumma is a coward , a selfish women." Harriet said holding Hazel's small fingers and kissing them .
    Her tears were rolling down thinking about Arthur when she felt Hazel's small warm hands on her cheeks... She was moving it on her cheeks as if wiping her mother's tear and making few baby noise telling her to not cry.
     Harriet was in awe just how much this tiny creature understands her...
    She hugged her baby and wiped her tears...
    " Mumma won't cry baby...! Never ever." 
    After a week Harriet joined the bakery again , she used to take Hazel with her and there Mrs Clark used to take care and play with her the whole day while Harriet was busy in her work with Mr Clark.
     Time started passing by and soon a year has passed already... 
     Elsie came to Nirvana and took Harriet and Hazel out to celebrate Hazel's 1st birthday...
    " She is already an year old..." Harriet said admiring her baby girl.
    " I swear Harriet , I wanna pause time and let her be this small..." Elsie said and picked Hazel in her arms.
    " Hey you teeny meeny Hazel , why are you growing up so fast..huh..!" Elsie asked to Hazel as if scolding her.
    Hazel made an angry noise and glared at Elsie making the two womens laugh..
    Harriet took Hazel in her arms and after sometime they left for home , Elsie went to sleep in the upper floor's empty room while Harriet and Hazel went to their bedroom.
     Harriet was caressing Hazel's baby hair on her forehead lovingly while admiring her daughter.
    " My baby is growing well...huh , you were glaring at your aunt naughty girl. " She said and Hazel giggled.
