Chapter 457: Back to you
Alanis
Bright light is all I see as I try to adjust my eyes to the scenery. when I open my eyes, I see that I am in a hospital room. I am lying in a bed and there is an IV in my arm. My head starts to throb from the blinding light. I think about what happened and I try to rember how I got here. I try to push myself up but I am too weak.
Suddenly, it all cos rushing back to . The pregnancy, my babies. I am awake, I am alive and breathing.
Holy shit.
A part of
thought I wasn’t going to make it. I didn’t think I was going to survive it all, but here I am.
I look around the room for Beau but he is not here. I told him he didn’t have to wait around for . I wanted him to get a breather and I am glad that he did but now I need him here with .
The room is empty, I am all alone.
I try to get up again and I am able to this ti. I stand in front of the mirror and I look at myself. I am a ss. All the color is gone from my body, it is almost like nothing that happened ever happened to . I feel like I was before the pregnancy. Strong and fit. It is hard to believe that I was ever pregnant.
I think about my babies and I get emotional. I have to see them. Not just to see them, but I have to hold them. I have to feel their warmth and know that they are safe. I need to know that they are okay.
I walk out of the room with only one thing on my mind. I can already feel Beau, I am sure he can feel
too. I just know where he is and what he is doing. My heart thuds heavily against my chest because I am going to be in his arms soon. I am going to hold him, and kiss him, and thank him for the life that he has given .
I walk down the corridor and even though I have never been to this part of the infirmary, I just know where to go.
I know where he will be.
I walk up to the room and I see him through the glass door, but it is almost like he is engrossed in what he is doing. I watch him as he holds our baby in his arms. His back is facing
but I can still see him clearly. He is talking to our baby and I can feel his love emanate out of him. It is radiating so brightly that I almost want to barge in and claim so of that beautiful love that he is pouring out right now.
My heart is screaming with joy. I have never felt this happy in my entire life. I was just walking and now I don’t want to stop. I want to run straight into the room and wrap my arms around him. I want to kiss him and let him know how much I love him.
I am still standing outside the room, staring at him. I can hear my heart beating; it’s beating so fast. I feel like it is going to explode any second. I see him reach for the other one in the crib. The love he has for them is equal. He wants them both to feel his presence since I am not there.
I am still outside. I am still watching.
I am so engrossed in him that I almost forget that I want to go inside. I want to see him. I want to be in his arms.
I open the door and I walk inside and he is still holding one of our babies. He doesn’t notice
until I walk over to his front. He opens his eyes wide and there is confusion mixed with shock. There is a smile on my face as I stand in front of him. My eyes shifting from him to the baby in his arms.
"Am I dreaming right now?’’ he asks in a very soft voice with the baby still in his arms.
"No, you’re not. I’m real" I tell him, with a smile plastered on my face. His eyes roam around , from my face to my body. I don’t know what he is looking for but I keep the smile on my face.
"Are you okay?" he takes a step towards
but he doesn’t touch . Almost like he doesn’t believe that I am here right now.
"I am all healed up,’’ I raise my hands up and he watches
in confusion. He is still not convinced that I am real.
I watch him as he walks over to the crib and puts the baby down and then he walks back to . I don’t know what headspace he is in right now and I don’t want to overwhelm him. I want him to handle this in the way that he can.
Right now, he is confused.
He stops in front of
and stretches his hand out but he doesn’t touch . He just lets it hover over my body. It is almost like he is feeling my warmth. He is feeling .
I reach my hands out and wrap my arms around him. I press my body against his and I feel so safe in his arms. I feel like I am ho. I feel like I am in the right place. I feel like I am exactly where I belong.
"I thought I lost you," he says in a soft voice.
"I’m here," I whisper in his ear.
"I don’t know what I would’ve done if I lost you," he says, pulling back and looking straight into my eyes.
"I am here," I say, cupping his face with both hands. I run my thumbs over his cheeks and I press my forehead against his, closing my eyes.
"I am here," I tell him, opening my eyes and looking into his.
We are in this mont right now. This mont where we just look at each other. This mont where I don’t want to say anything, I don’t want to do anything, I just want to look at him.
This mont is perfect.
I reach for his hand and I intertwine our fingers, holding it against my chest. I feel so safe right now.
"I love you," he whispers in my ear, pulling
into him and kissing my forehead.
"I love you too," I tell him, glad that we made it.
Glad that my family is complete.
