Stalker

Epilogue; Hazel

        After I had woken up after days in the hospital, I woke in a panic. I was surrounded by nurses at once and they looked at me sadly.

"He didn't make it." A nurse told me with sad blue eyes.

        I didn't believe it at first and then April, Percy, Mom, Nick's mom, and Agent Boothe showed up. Boothe explained to me that when they got there, Nick was too badly stabbed. They shot down Samuel and he was killed instantly with a bullet to the back of the head. I cried uncontrollably and wanted to scream, even die. I was sedated and for months during my healing process I wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink, and wouldn't speak. I was given Nick's things and at one point, started sleeping with his T-shirt next to me in bed.

        It was two years later and I sat in my living room, smiling at April.

"Its good to see you again, Hazel."  She had lost a lot of weight since I had been gone.

        After I had healed, I went back to Hampton and hadn't come back. I hadn't deemed myself ready, but there was  another thing that came to me that I wasn't ready for either.

        A light weight touched my leg and I looked down at my son. He was standing against my leg with a toy his mouth and he was reading for me with the other hand. I picked him up and looked at him with soft eyes. After only five months of healing I had  felt a movement inside of me. I freaked out and my mother took me to  the hospital. They immediately gave me an ultrasound and I nearly freaked out when I saw the image. There was a baby inside of me, but there was a catch.

"Momma." A tiny voice called at my feet and I looked at my daughter, my son's twin sister.

        There had been two. Double the shock. Somehow, they had survived the trauma and pain I had suffered. I had immediately stopped taking my pain medications and focused on the two growing babies inside of me. With a DNA test when they were born, which my mother demanded, they were Nick's. Nick and I never had protected sex and this was like a gift from God.

"Hello, Gabbie." I cooed at her and she was pulled into my lap also.

I looked at my son and smiled, "Mommy loves you, Nicholas."

        My two beautiful babies, Nicholas Shawn Jr. and Gabbie Hannah Davidson.
