Between Two Hearts

milf

*Caleb's Pov*

my gut is telling me to go to the hospital, even if shes not there, even if shes perfectly fine i just need to make sure nothing happened. i ant lose her again.

as I'm walking inside the hospital, my hands are shaking. my hearts beating fast and i feel like I'm about to barf. i walk up to the receptionist, she turns to look at me with a smile on her face.

"is," i gulp. "is Rory Robinson here?" she turns to her computer and starts typing rapidly.

"let me check, darlin." she smiles. and i fidget with my fingers, eyebrows scrunched.

"yes we have her, room 306. just go left and then-"

"got it! thank you so much!" i run towards the elevator, heart thumping.

~~~~

i walk into the icu, doctors and nurses everywhere. i walk to the desk and get a visitors pass, telling them I'm family. i go to 306, feeling more nervous than i EVER have been before. please be okay Rory. please be okay.

i knock on the door, its unlocked so i open it. i see Rory lying on the hospital bed, blankets covering her. her red hair is tied into a ponytail, her face has bruises everywhere and she looks wildly tired. i open the door more to see two women sitting on chairs holding hands, they look worried. i look next to them and see a baby laying in one of those incubator things. my breath stops, the baby shouldn't have been born yet. she was only 5 months last time i saw her.

the two women stand up, walking over to me.

"I'm- I'm Caleb, i know this is fucking insane but i was dead and now I'm here and its a long story-" the shorter women with black hair pulls me towards her and hugs me.

"i don't care how you got here, Rory needs you." she says muffled into my shirt. we hear Rory move, the blankets ruffling together. the two women run over to her side, Rory flutters her eyes open. i freeze in my place, in front of the door.

"hey baby, were here. you're okay." the blond woman says while the brunette cups Rory's cheek and brushes her hair behind her ear. Rory suddenly rubs her eyes, flipping over to lay on her other side. she faces me, and opens her eyes. she yawns, stretching. her eyes meet mine and her face drops. she looks at the women, who are looking at me. her eyebrows scrunch together, and her mouth opens slightly.

"y-you can, see-" i cut her off, walking close to her and sitting in a chair next to her bed.

"I'm here Rory, I'm really here. i'll explain later, but I'm here." i smile, tearing up. she studies my face, look at my hair, then my nose, my lips, my eyes. she reaches up to me and cups my cheek. i put my hand over hers, a tear running down my face. her lips twitch into a sheepish smile.

she laughs, "Caleb?!" i laugh, tears running down my face at this point. i hug her and she inhales sharply, i back off.

"what-" i look at the women, they purse their lips together and i know. fucking Bowie hurt her.

she squishes her face together and groins, i push her hair behind her ear. she looks back at my gaze, her eyebrows lifted. i  reach and kiss her forehead, then her cheek, finishing off by meeting my lips with hers. she smiles into the kiss, and my tears pour down my face. she reaches for my neck, trying to kiss but also trying not to hut herself. i break the kiss, looking at her gorgeous face. her blue eyes staring at me, only love filling them.

she kisses me, connecting our lips again. my heart is soaring right now. i let go of her, and hug her (carefully.) she cries into my shoulder, i know she has so much damage that she needs to deal with. it breaks my heart.

"Caleb, h-he stabbe-" she stutters trying to speak through her sobs.

"its okay Rory, you're okay now. I'm here." i look at her eyes, tears running down both of our cheeks. i smile at her, standing up to go look at the baby.

"i always knew you were gonna be a milf ro." i smirk, looking at the precious baby. she laughs.

"whats her name?" i look at Rory, and she thinks for a moment. she smiles, a tear dripping down her cheek.

"jade."

"after your-"

"mom." we say at the same time. we both smile, and i look at jade again. the feeling in my gut now replaced with the glowing of my heart, things are finally.. perfect.
