I heard beeping, what the hell was that? I tried opening my eyes to see what that annoying sound was when I heard Lucas.
"Get the doctors. Baby can you hear me?"
"Lucas?"
"I'm here sweetheart."
I opened my eyes, looking at Lucas as he kissed me.
The doctors came in and started asking me questions when I finally remembered everything.
"The baby, is the baby okay?" I cried out.
"Ms. Matthews, your little one is going to be fine. You passed out three days ago, between being pregnant and the stress, that was your body's way of making you rest. I have you hooked up on some IV's to keep you hydrated."
I looked at Lucas, "My dad?"
"He's going to be fine. He had to have surgery to remove the bullet, plus he had an infection starting. He's okay though, he woke up yesterday. Your mom is with him right now, she's been bouncing back and forth between the two of you." Lucas informed me.
"I'll have the nurses let your parents know that you're awake. I'll be back shortly," He turned towards Lucas. "All of you can stay here for a short time, but she needs rest and quiet, no stress."
Lucas nodded. Chris and Erin ran to my side along with everyone else, "Oh sweetheart, I'm so glad that you're okay."
"I'm so glad it's over. I could totally use some whiskey right now."
Everyone started laughing, "She's going to be okay," Lucas said, leaning in to kiss me again.
Helen placed Kennedy in my arms, "I love you little girl."

Two days later I was released from the hospital.
I had to give my statement to the police, which Jack sat in on. I told them everything that had happened and everything Grant told me about.
I introduced my dad to Kennedy and we all decided it was time to finally celebrate Lucas and I. Lucas and I wanted to have a small wedding, with close family and friends away from the media. I had enough of everyone knowing my business.
Two weeks after everything went down, We all got onto a plane and went to Italy for a week where Lucas and I got married, it was private like we wanted and absolutely beautiful.

Our parents took Kennedy back home with them so Lucas and I could have some time alone where we spent another week enjoying our alone time.
When we got back home, I was told that my father was about to do a press conference.
"David, what's this about?"
"Honey, your parents talked and this is what they felt was best. Look, it's about to start."
