When We Were Perfect

I want your knock again on the door of my heart

The love you had for me at first, I want that love again

The attraction that was between us, I want that attraction again...….

Previously, 

Daniel decides to let Amy back in their lives just for the sake of Ozan without his feelings involved. With that decision, he walks back to Ozan's room with Silas behind.

********************

Daniel was still lost in his thoughts when the elevator door pinged open, Silas was about to step outside when he saw him still in his place.

"Daniel, we are there!" Silas said, nudging him bringing him back to reality..

"Yeah! Let's go!" He responded stepping outside, walking towards Ozan's room at the same time, another doctor came out of the second room holding a file with Amy behind her dusting her sweatshirt.

"Mr Saritas!" She greeted with a pleasant tone. Amy instantly froze in her place at the door hearing his name.

"How did the check-up go!" Daniel inquired, glancing intently at Amy.

"She doesn't have any diseases and thankfully she is healthy to breastfeed her child!" The physician declared.

"Are you sure!" Daniel asked, his glance now settling on the doctor.

"Yes! I have done a detailed check-up. You don't need to worry" The physician said, confused, why would someone ask about her wife's health in such a scrutinizing manner.

"Thank you, doctor!" 

"It's my duty Mr Saritas!" She said politely, giving a smile to Daniel and Silas before walking away, not aware of the tension lingering around.

Amy was still fixed on her spot looking away, not knowing what to do. In truth, she felt a little offended by the way Daniel inquired about her health, it wasn't like she had STD or any other, he out of all persons knew her. 

"Silas, would you go and sit beside Ozan. He might get afraid of waking up in a new place." Daniel said, looking at him. Amy's breath hitched.

Silas glanced between the two of them and nodded.

"Sure!" He responded before going inside leaving the two of them alone in the lobby.

For minutes there was only a suffocating silence surrounding them with Amy chewing her lips and gazing at the nearby window and Daniel looking at her intently as if trying to read her intentions. Finally having had enough, Amy slowly turned to him, staring at his blank face but his eyes were telling that a storm was cooking up in his mind. He started to move towards Amy, surprising her as she stilled in her place.

Before she could speak or do anything, Daniel had pinned her against the door, holding his arm in a deathly grip. His body and face dangerously close to her.

"Ow!" Amy groaned from the sudden impact, trying to release her arm but to no avail. She looked up at his face only to get her breathing stopped for a few seconds. He was staring painstakingly at her, she could feel her soul burning under his gaze, his hot breath was fanning her face making shivers to run down her spine. His lips were a millimetre apart.

This wasn't the Daniel she knew, in his eyes was so much hurt and resentment that it was enough to drown her.

"D-Daniel!" Amy whined trying to get away from his hold and proximity which was overwhelming for her.

"What are your intentions this time Amy!" He sneered. At this time, he wasn't the person who loved Amy to death, he was a father and person who has been stabbed by the ugly reality of his unrequited love.

"C-can't you see what I want th-this time!" Amy whined.

"No, because I don't know you anymore. I don't trust you now!" Daniel growled, still holding her in place.

"I am the same Amy you once knew, Daniel, call me whatever you want. Humiliate me, ridicule me but please trust me this time, give me a chance." Amy whimpered sadly.

"I am not you, to humiliate and toss people aside Amy. I can't lower my standards and where is this motherly love coming from huh. Now you want to be a mother!" Daniel mocked with raw agony.

"If you want to believe me, I can swear on Mom Daniel that this time I only want to rectify my mistakes, be a mother to Ozan I never was. I was the biggest fool back there. Please I-I b-beg yo-u to give me a chance!" Amy pleaded as tears threatened to fall her eyes and they did. Daniel stared at her misty eyes that were staring back at her and this time there was indeed regret and sincerity in them. His eyes flickered to the tears that were falling from her eyes to her cheeks and then to her dry lips, damping them.

He abruptly pulled away, letting go of her arm making her flinch. 

She started to rub her bruised area trying to soothe it.

Daniel sighed before clenching his jaws, turning to look at her again. This time Amy backed away a little, the same Amy who never gave a damn about anyone was flinching and begging, even Daniel was perplexed to see this.

"I know things won't come back Daniel but I cannot deny the fact that I am Ozan's mother." She said in a low tone.

"I-I am sorry for what I had done to him but I really do want a chance with him, to prove myself as a mother!" 

'As a wife too!' She wanted to add but let it slip for the time being. One thing at a time.

"This is your first and last chance Amy!" Daniel said, stepping closer but this time his tone was authoritative and threatening as he glared with a sharp look.

"Ruin anything, I will ruin you and trust me you wouldn't want to see that side of mine!" Daniel warned. 

'She is back again!' His inner voice said.

Amy smiled a bit, wiping her tears.

"T-thank ---"

"Don't expect anything else, Amy. I am giving you a chance for Ozan only. Because I can move the world for his happiness!" He muttered walking towards Ozan's room.

Amy's smile wavered but this is just the start, she thought. She wasn't backing down without winning everything she once lost.

"Go wash your face and then come back. I don't want Ozan to see you like this." Daniel muttered going inside without glancing at her. Although he was probably looking like a Zombie, he didn't want Ozan to see her with a red, teary face. Amy wiped her tears away before moving towards the washroom.

Daniel entered inside the room only to see Ozan now sitting on his bed with a whimpering face, his lips tugged outwards while Silas was trying to soothe him by telling him stories. As soon as his gaze fell on his father, the little boy gave him his usual wide smile showing his half-grown teeth despite his drooping self lifting his arms towards his father. Daniel rushed to his side and picked him up, hugging his fragile body, it was two since he hadn't had his son in his arms and it was killing him. He placed a deep kiss on his head, inhaling his faint baby powder.

"The nurse took out the ivy and tubes for a while but he was asking for you!" Silas informed, relieved that he stopped whimpering.

"I am sorry son. Look, I am here now!" 

"D-daddy!" Ozan mumbled, staring at his face.

"How are you feeling?" Daniel asked, smiling and kissing his nose.

"It hwurts daddy!" Ozan mumbled in a low voice pointing his fingers on his arms where the drips were attached before.

Daniel sucked in his breath not wanting to cry. At that time, he wanted to take all his pain. He was just so small to suffer from such things.

"You will be healthy soon and then you won't feel hurt. I will make sure of that!" Daniel muttered, smiling at his son. Ozan stared at his father not exactly getting the meaning of his words but still nodded with a smile on his pale face burying his face in the crook of his father's neck like he always did.

"That's my little boy!" Daniel said, hugging him close, patting his back but then he frowned remembering Amy. He still had to introduce her to Ozan, not that it was difficult. He always had a picture of her in Ozan's nursery and even once told him it was her mommy. Thankfully he never asked much about her.

Silas also smiled admiring the little moment between the father and son hoping that it always stays this way.

Just then a knock was heard against the door before it opened slowly revealing a nervous-looking Amy who quietly stepped in fiddling with her fingers and staring at Daniel.

At this Ozan also turned his head slowly to see the intruder, his light blue-grey eyes clashing against certain hazel ones making Amy lose her breathing.
