"Let's get you girls cleaned up first before you go see your men. You look like hell you two." Amelia says tugging the two of us to her car. She drives to the mansion.
Minutes later, she pulls up at the familiar driveway. Getting in the house I run to the bathroom to take my time in the shower, shaving and scrubbing every part of my body hoping to get rid of the dirt and thoughts.
I turn off the shower, I grab one of the towels drying myself taking out my shower cape and putting on the bathing robe.
I brush my teeth and walk to the closet picking black high waist jeans with a white crop top. I slip them on along with my black flats.
I put my locks in a tight high bun. Smiling at my reflection, I walk downstairs to the kitchen to get something to eat seeing it's dark outside.
"Madam, how may I help you?" Dylan asks.
"Dylan please call me Kaylee, I am not an old lady you know. I want some veggies and fruits. I gotta keep my baby healthy you know." I say smiling.
"Alright. Give me a few minutes, I'll be done." He says nodding.
I go to Hazel's room to find her vomiting her guts out.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask her.
"Nothing." She says before going back to vomiting. I hold her hair up.
"Well let's get you something to eat before we go to the hospital and get you checked up," I tell her and she nods.
We go downstairs to find Mia, Ryan, and Alexander downstairs. They look relieved to see us.
"I am so glad you two are fine," Mia says sobbing and I join her.
"I missed you all," I say.
"We missed you too. Am sorry Colin is not here yet, he's been stressed and blames himself for not protecting both of you. When he heard you are both fine he nodded and hasn't said a word." Alexander explains and my heart aches for Colin.
"Let us have dinner first then we drop by the hospital," I say and they all nod.
Amelia joins us and the table goes silent.
"I am sorry." She says sobbing and Alexander looks at her shock written all over his face. He pulls her on his lap and kisses her. Mia mutters her eeew while me, Ryan, and Hazel clap.
Dinner is served, devouring it I decide to drive to the hospital alone. I pass by the church seeing it open I park my car and go in.
I get on a bench at the back. Kneeling I begin to pray. Knowing full well the last time I was in a church was the day my family laid to rest.
"Dear Lord, I come before you. I kneel before you, I a sinner ask for repentance of the things I did wrong, knowingly and unknowingly. I also come to pray for a miracle for the man I love with all my being. He lays in the hospital bed unconscious. I pray you to heal him Oh Lord. If you do I will dedicate my life and the life of my children for I know you are the highest God. You saved me from the shadows of death not because I am righteous but because you love me. You are God. The Alpha and Omega. May you hear my prayers. In the name of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen." I pray.
Standing up I spot a familiar couple.
"Mr. and Mrs. Richardson." I greet and Naomi turns to me hugging me. I put my hands out for Mr. Richardson to shake but he pulls me to a hug.
"We heard what happened to you. We're sorry." Mr. Richardson conveys and I nod.
"It's fine. I am heading to the hospital to check up on Theo." I say.
"Alright, don't let us keep you. Take this card, call me when you are free and you can talk. I have something for you I know you are going to like." Mr. Richardson hands me his card and I take it.
"Bye and goodnight," I say hugging the both of them before speed walking to the car and driving off to the hospital.
I park the car and go in directly heading to his room. After hugging Theo's friends who heard about the kidnapping I go into Theo's room. I see Colin seated there his head on his hands looking at his shoes.
"Colin," I call out. Startled he looks at me before standing up and pulling me into a bone-breaking hug.
"It wasn't your fault and you know it. Issbella had some loose screws in her skull thinking she could mess with our family." I say to him and he chuckles.
"I didn't think it's my fault. I thought its fate's fault. It brought you to our family only to be hurt, kidnapped, and even worse, killed. I feared for you and Theo. Thinking of how he would wake up yearning to see you only to find out you died. It would crush him. I was scared of losing you and Hazel, you know how much I love her." He confesses and I nod.
"I know." I croak out.
"I have been thinking, life is short and I don't want to ever say I wish I did this, I wish I did that... I think am ready to ask Haze to be my wife and the mother to my children." He says and I pull away from the hug.
"You know what, do it. I am giving you my blessings." I say stepping on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek.
"Thank you. I told my mum not to let her come to the hospital. Let me go home. Watch over your boyfriend." He winks before giving me a hug and leaving.
I take a seat beside Theo's bed. Looking at him I could see his features are back to normal, it's like he's just sleeping. He doesn't look pale like he was days ago.
"I'm pregnant Theo. You are going to be a father of twins." I say grabbing his warm hand into mine.
"I was thinking if they are both girls I would name them Keisha and Kayla or Meredith or Melissa and Vanessa or Charlotte and Charlene or something like Gladys..."
I laugh at the thought of me calling our daughter Gladys, Theo would have them changed the moment he would wake up.
As always, I sleep next to him that night making sure to not hurt him or rip out the tubes he has on his body.
The next morning I wake up having Mia bring me some food as I stare at Theo hoping he would wake up soon.

Stay safe😊
