*LUKE'S POV*

I wake up to some sound. It's not baby's crying it's... my vibrating phone. "Yes?" I pick it up. "Mr. Hemmings?" the voice speaks to me. "Yes, it's me. Who's calling?" I don't have any idea who could it be. "It's doctor Parkins. I just thought you might want to know Lacey just woke up" he says. I almost stop breathing. "Okay, thank you. I'm on my way" I say and end the call. Three months. Three whole months I was waiting for this moment. I put on some clothes and take Sky with me. "We're going to see momma" I tell her and smile. She's back. She's finally back. I won't let anyone to hurt her or our little girl. She grows up so fast.

"Lacey?" I say when I open the door on the hospital room. She's sitting on the bed looking out of the window. It seems like she didn't hear me. I smile for myself. I walk towards to her. I want to sit right next to her, but when she spots me, she jumps from the bed. She looks scared. I don't know what's going on. I don't have any idea. "Lacey, it's okay. You don't have to be scared" I tell her, but now she looks even more scared. "Are you okay?" I ask her. She doesn't reply. She looks around the room and then jump over the bed and run to the wall. I'm confused. What's wrong?

*LACEY'S POV*

I don't have any idea who he is. I'm so scared. What if he's going to hurt me? Okay, he has a baby in his arms, but anyway. I press myself to the wall like it can protects me. "Who are you?" I ask him. "How do you know my name? What are you doing here?" I ask him more questions. "Okay, slow down. I'm Luke, your boyfriend. Don't you remember me?" he says. "You're liar. My boyfriend is Ryan. Who are you?" I don't know what I said but he looks kind of... hurt? "You broke up with him because he was cheating on you" he says and sigh. "Yeah, sure. If it's true I would remember that. Don't you think?"

*LUKE'S POV*

Remember. Then it hits me. "Okay, I'll be right back" I tell her. "Don't you dare" she says. I have to find the doctor. I am walking to his office. He's here. I knock on the door. "Come in" he says and I walk in. "Mr. Hemmings" he says. "She doesn't remember me" I tell him. "I'm sorry, but results..." I cut him off. "Fuck your results. She doesn't remember me. She thinks she dates an asshole who cheated on her. How am I supposed to feel about that? And if she doesn't remember me, I bet she doesn't even know she has a daughter." "Okay, let's take a look on her" he says and walks out of the office. Three whole months. I was waiting three months for her to wake up and she doesn't remember me.

*LACEY'S POV*

I hope he's not coming back. I'm scared of him. Boyfriend, really? I would never date anyone like him. I mean he has tattoos all over his arms. He's obviously a bad boy. "Lacey" I hear the voice. I turn around and see a doctor. And he's behind him. Oh no. What if he's going to help him to kill me? "Yeah?" I ask. He comes closer to me. I'm sitting on the bed and he stands right in front of me. "Okay, so will you tell me something about yourself?" he asks. Why would I do that? "Okay, fine. My name's Lacey, I'm 17. I live with my parents and my older brother Matt. I have a boyfriend and his name's Ryan. I like reading books and..." he cuts me off. "Okay, I think that's enough. Lacey, I want you to look at this boy. Look at him really carefully and tell me if you ever saw him somewhere" doctor says and I nod. I'm looking at him. Why the hell is he carrying that baby? Then my eyes stop at his eyes. NYE's celebration. And I think he's from my school. "Yeah, I saw him on NYE's celebration in the crowd, and he's probably attending the same school. I don't know."

*LUKE'S POV*

I look at the doctor. "I would say it's retrograde amnesia" he says. "Amnesia?" I ask him. "Yeah, she doesn't remember a part of her life" he says. "A part? She doesn't remember the whole year of her life. The whole year with me." Well, okay, it wasn't like the whole year with me, but I mean, since all started. "Okay, then why don't you tell her how it is now?" he says and we both look at her. She actually looks pretty confused. "Okay Lacey, listen to him now" he says and she looks at me. "Okay, so, like I said before. I'm Luke, your boyfriend. Okay, I got it that you don't remember, anyway, you're almost 19 now and you apparently live with me. And this is our daughter Skylynn" I say and look at her.

*LACEY'S POV*

Is he serious? I mean, if I'm almost 19 it means I already graduate and I don't even remember this. Wait, did he say I live with him? Why would I do that? No, wait. Daughter? I look at the baby in his arms. She's so beautiful. I carefully stand up from the bed and slowly walk to him. I look at the her and she's looking at me. She has bright blue eyes just like... me. I stroke her cheek and smile at her. She smiles back at me. "Do you want to hold her?" he asks me. "I don't know. I don't want to hurt her" I say. "You won't, don't worry" he says and I take her from him. I look at him "see, it's pretty easy" he says and smiles. I smile back. Looks like he's telling the truth. Why would he lie to me? I mean it's still dark outside and if the doctor called him and he came like in the middle of the night, he probably really cares about me. "Is there any chance I will recall anything?" I ask doctor. "Maybe. You just have to give some time to it" he says and I nod. If what he's saying is really true, I want to remember it. I look at the girl in my arms. She fell asleep. She looks like a little angel.

*LUKE'S POV*

"You should probably go Mr. Hemmings" the doctor says. "Yeah, okay" I nod. I look at them. She maybe doesn't remember me now, but I know she will. I know once she will remember everything. "Sorry, we have to go" I tell her and take Sky into my arms. "Okay" she says. "Hey, we will come back. Like we did every single day before. Maybe they'll let you go home soon" I tell her and she nods. I want to kiss her, but then I realize she doesn't remember me and she will probably push me away from her. So I just kiss her on the forehead. "See you later" I say and she nods. "Okay" she says.
