Trapped In Her Heart

Ellie had tried to persuade him several times to let go off the past and start a fresh healthy relatipnship with his mum but the latter never llistened to her. 

Though she knew Sebastian was still hurt and didn't like talking about Rebecca, she kept looking for ways to persuade him. Ellie wanted him to share a healthy relationship with his mom irrespective to whatever had happened. 

…..

8 months later. 

Hospital. 

"She is beautiful, look at her eyes—" Looking at Ellie, Sebastian sighed, "I never get over with this." 

Two days ago, Ellie have birth to a healthy daughter who was named after Sebastian's grandmother, Samantha Stewart. 

"She is adorable, let me hold her—" 

Scrunching his brows, Sebastian moved away. "No, stay away from my daughter." 

"Hey, I am her aunt, she is mine too," Ava retorted. 

"Well, I don't remember you donating any s.p.e.r.m for her." 

"Sebastian, what are you saying—" Ellie chuckled. 

"We are very sorry, Desmond refused to leave Mel so we had to wait for him to fall asleep," Noah explained. 

"It's good that you are late, Seb is not letting anyone touch Samantha anyway," Ava complained. 

Giving Ellie a hug, Melissa sighed, "Girl, giving birth may seem like a hard part but that is just a teaser, it gets harder when you start rasing the baby so you better be prepared." 

"Samantha won't trouble us, she is a good girl," Sebastian remarked. 

"It's—" Noah stopped midway when he saw someone standing by the door. "I think I will get some coffee. Mel, Ava, why don't you both come with me?" 

"Why? I don't want any coffee," Ava retorted. 

Grsturing her to look at the door, Noah added, "I think you need one." 

Following his gaze when Ava saw her mother standing near door, she quickly agreed and left along with Noah and Melissa. 

Ignoring his mother's presence, Sebastian kept Samantha on the crib and started going through Ellie's medical file. 

"Seb, can you give me some water?" 

Looking at the empty bottle, he answered, "I'll go get some water." 

After he left, Ellie smiled at Rebecca who was still standing by the door and invited her in. "Mom, please come in." 

Hesitating for while, Rebecca gave her a weak smile and entered the room. 

Keeping the bag she was holding on the bed, Rebecca said, "I bought these for the baby." Just then, little Samantha started crying. 

"Mom, can you please bring her to me?" 

"I—I can touch her?" 

"Why not? She is your granddaughter too," Ellie stated. 

Hesitating for a while, Rebecca slowly made her way towards the crib and gently lifted the baby in her hands. Tears of joy started flooding down her cheeks when the little one cuddled in her arms. 

Over the past year and after the incident, Rebecca had changed a lot. She was no more the arrogant, proud and bossy woman anymore. The regret over whatever she had done and how she had treated her own kids and daughter-in-law had changed her. 

When Sebastian entered the room, he stood rooted near the door, silently watching his mother and daughter. 

When Ellie saw him, she slowly got down from the bed and approached him. "How long are you going to punish her and yourself? It's been a year already Seb and she has really changed. Just like the way you love Samantha, she loves you too."

Wrapping her hands around his arm, she added, "Let's give Samantha her entire family, let's welcome her with all smiles and lots of love from everyone, without any hard feelings." 

Giving her a hug, he sighed before walking towards Rebecca. 

"Ellie, she looks just like you but her nose—" Rebecca stopped midway when she saw Sebastian standing right next to her. 

"But she has my nose and don't you think her eyes are also like mine?" he inquired before wrapping his around her shoulder. "We named her Samantha, after grandmom." 

"Your dad is gonna be so happy," Rebecca sobbed before burying her face on his shoulder. "I am sorry, I have wronged you so many times and Ellie too." 

Gently rubbing the sides of her arm, Sebastian sighed, "It's okay, don't cry. Look, you are scaring my daughter." 

"Here, hold her—" After giving Samantha in his arms, Rebecca approached Ellie and apololized to her. 

"You don't have to say anything, I am just glad everything is okay now." 

Just then, Ava, Noah and Melissa entered the room. 

"Mom, don't you think she looks more like me than Ellie?" Sebastian inquired. 

"I think she looks Ellie more and I just don't want her to look like her mom, I want her to be like her mom too." Gently c.a.r.e.s.sing Ellie's head, Rebecca smiled, "Beautiful, strong and independent."
