Part Thirty Four: Remember Me

January, 19, 1987.

David's POV:

I was awakened by the twins crying together in unison. I opened my eyes and rubbed them, what was going on again?

At some point I knew it again, a lot of things had happened. Heather was in the hospital with a concussion, and I still had such a nasty feeling of guilt running through my head.

I threw the covers off me and walked over to the crib where the twins were crying. "Good morning dear ones, daddy is here, calm but dear darlings." I said as I stroked their bellies. I lifted them both at the same time, and lay down on the bed with them after feeding them with milk replacer through the bottle.

After I fed my dear precious little babies, they fell asleep on my chest.

As I lay in bed with them, a memory popped up from a dream I had that night. The dream haunted my head, they always seem so realistic.

I still missed Heather next to me, I realized it could be that long before she could go home completely.

I was completely dressed, Heather's parents picked up Archie and Elin at the end of the morning. Tonight my treasures will be brought again. I was on my way to the hospital, by now it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

I was in the car for the first time after a few days ago, with a deep sigh I started the engine of the car and drove out of the garage.

When I was on my way to the hospital, I still didn't understand why I was acting so weird to her. Was I a little mean sometimes?

When I started the radio in my car, suddenly a song of mine came on. Coincidentally it was Heather's favorite song, I swallowed and listened to the song. Suddenly there was a lump in my throat, and I felt that I just had to cry so hard. I really had that feeling!

Still, I shed some tears as I drove down the road, it felt a bit like heartbreak.

I had arrived at the hospital, I missed the twins a bit. I'd better hand them over to Heather's parents, not because I can handle them, but because there are two people who could take good care of them. Two out of two.

With a sigh I stopped the engine of the car and got out, I was quite happy to see my girl again.

I walked into the hospital and was immediately escorted to Heather's room, when I walked into her hospital room, I saw two nurses working on her.

She was still sleeping very deeply, one of the nurses told me she hadn't woken up yet in the day.

I was left alone alone with Heather in the room, finally I could be alone with her. I thought about that all night.

I calmly grabbed her hand and squeezed it tight, "I'll never let you go, never!" I whispered as I looked at her with tears rising. Her hand felt so warm and soft, I was having fun with her, even though she couldn't be woken up. Did she know I was there?

I saw a tear drip from her eye as she slept. "You won't notice me." I sighed.

"I, I, I do." She said softly, still narrowing her eyes. I got up from my chair and looked at her closely, did I really hear that, or did I dream that?
