Stephanie's POV
I walk steadily towards the living room, clinging on to the wall as I try to preserve my energy. I'm not blessed with being strong, but I have to move, I have to help Harry.
As I turn the corner I feel a sharp pain in my head causing me to wince. Harry looks up and quickly puts Amelia down on the play mat.
"Stephanie!" He snaps as he runs towards me and put his arms around my waist. I start to mumble that I'm fine but I know myself that I'm not. Why do I have to be so weak. I was in a coma for three weeks then monitored in hospital for a month. I haven't been home that long and I feel so guilty that Harry is my main carer as well as looking after Amelia.
The problem Is I suffer with mild seizures, sometimes I lose all self control and I become suddenly weak. I'm never going to get better but I shouldn't get worse either. I have to be grateful as thing could have been much worse than this. I could have easily had blood to the brain and become brain damaged, but somehow I managed to escape that and I came out with mild conditions.
My life will never be like it used too, I won't be the Stephanie I was when I first met Harry again. But I'm trying to be as close to her as I can, I'm a Mother now and I haven't even held my own baby. It's cuts me up everytime I watch Harry, who is so brilliant, with Amelia.
"I'm sorry, I thought I was ready." I say as I look at him and he helps me towards the couch. I think the worst part is the stitches from the cesearean, they are so sore and I can't lift anything strainuous.
"It's going to take time Steph, you know that." Harry says as he strokes my cheek. I nod as I look to Amelia who is led on her play mat looking over at us.
"I want to hold my daughter Harry." I sigh and he nods in sympathy. He turns to look at Amelia and suddebly picks her up.
"Sit back." He says gently and puts a cushion under my arm. I look at him in shock as he positions my arms and slowly places Amelia in my arms. I suddenly begin to cry, so much love and emotion is running through me I can't contain myself. I look to Harry and he smiles as he fights back the tears.
"I can't believe I'm holding her." I say as I look down at Amelia. Harry named her all by himself and I think it's beautiful that he took my middle name and last name for her. It's just a lovely thing for him to do.
"Our little family." Harry smiles and I begin to lose strength and panic.
"Hurry, take her Harry!" I cry as my arms begin to go and Harry quickly takes her from me. I cry as I sit helplessly. Harry puts Amelia back down on the mat and sits next to me. He takes my hand and helps me with the controlled meditation that he's been taught. It basically helps me from getting worked up and causing the seizure to get worse. He's brilliant and keeping me stable and sane.
"Everything is fine Steph. You've done well, keeps calm and breathe slow. You're in a safe place and you've just held your daughter." I smile at his last words. "Things are going to get better as we will learn how to control this. You're stronger than you think, I'll never let you down." Harry says and I lean my head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry this has happened. " I sob and he quickly makes me look at him and frowns.
"Will you stop? You're still the same Stephanie I fell in love with, so don't be silly. I don't care if I have to do everything for you, which I don't. I'd rather have things like this than not to have you at all Steph, that could have happened so easily. I love you." He says as he kisses me. I kiss him back and my heart just goes crazy for him. How did I end up with such an amazing guy?
"I can't thank you enough Harry." I say and he smiles. "Without you, I don't think I could cope." I add and he kisses my forehead.
"You will never be without me Steph. This is just the beginning of our lives, our family has just began to grow. Nothing changes except we have to take in consideration of your condition. But the medication will help, so let's be who we are and live how we live. " Harry says and I thank him.
Everyone has been a massive support towards us, my family, his family and even our friends. Chloe was heartbroken when she found out about my seizures. I think she instantly thought I'd have fits as she didn't really understand there are different type of seizures. Luckily Harry explained everything as he was the one doctors informed with all the information, he seems to know everything that is happening with me.
He bought us a house in one of the weeks where I was still in hospital, my Dad and his Dad both came together to help him out a deposit down. I had no idea I was coming home to my home, I assumed it would have been at the flat where we were temporarily staying with Louis and Liam. So everything has changed very dramatic for us, but it's good, no matter how much I get down and upset, I have a lot to I be thankful and happy about. We've achieved so much together in such a short space of time, living together, having a baby and now Harry wants to plan a wedding. I've refused to take any part as I haven't had an official proposal yet, I'm still waiting.
I look over as he bends down and picks up Amelia who is now starting to whine, she loves Harry to pieces. As soon as he cuddles her she stops and closes her eyes. I understand he's her biggest comfort, I'm pleased they have such a beautiful bond. I hope one day, I can get that with her too.
I know I'm struggling to be myself as my confidence has naturally gone. But he's right, I need to focus on the things I have. I love Harry and Amelia with all my heart, that's why I fought to stay with them, no matter how weak it has made me. I know I'll get through this. But I can only appreciate that he says I'm still the Stephanie he loves and I know for a fact, he's still the Harry I knew.

Notes
It's very short, but I've done this as a very wise friend of mine mentioned some may want to know what happened to Stephanie. I didn't want too write too much, but I hope you like it! :)
