Love Grows (Love series: book 3)

Chapter 28.

Scott

Rushing through the hallways of the hospital, desperately trying to get to Ella's room. Trying to remain calm and not let my thoughts go to a place that's there's no hope, I need to have hope for my family.

Stopping in my tracks as I reach Ella's hospital closed door, locking my eyes on Gail and Riggs standing by the closed door along with Ella's doctor, my gut screams at me that something isn't right, but I can't think like that, because a lot of people need my wife, myself included.

"What happened? Is she awake? Tell me she's okay?" I rushed out questions at any them, hoping one of them will give me some damn answers.

"Take a breath Scott, she's okay....Ella is okay" Gail reassures me.

"Then why does it look like you're not telling me something? What is it?"

"Scott, when Ella woke up and we ran some test, it seems like she has some memory loss" Ella's Doctor says gently to me. Locking my eyes on her from Gail.

"What do you memory loss? Like she can't remember the last few weeks? What aren't you telling me" I bite out at them, mostly because I don't like the way they are treating me with kids gloves.

"Scott Ella can't remember the last few years. She still thinks Remi is three years old" Gail answers me sadly, stumbling back a little as I take in her words.

No that can't be right, if Ella doesn't remember the last few years, then she doesn't remember us. She doesn't remember falling back in love, she doesn't remember everything we've survived, our wedding, marriage, or how happy we've been as a family. Or how overjoyed we were to be expending our family.

"So your telling me that my wife doesn't remember me at all, only the old version of me, she doesn't even remember our twins, how is that even possible?" I asked them.

"You have to remember that Ella's brain it's took a rattle, somethings are a little jumbled up right now, but I'm confident that her memories will returned, she just needs time to heal and recover" The doctor explains and then nods her head before walking away, leaving just me and Ella's parents.

"What else doesn't she remember?" I asked them, I need to know it all even though its hurts to know that she still thinks I'm the same asshole who walked out on her years ago.

"Who you are now, being married, being pregnant with the twins, Kylie, Riggs, Max and willow too, reconnecting with your family, being friends with Amanda. Basically everything in the last two or so years "Gail answers me.

"Have you seen her?"

"Yeah when she woke up we went it, it's then once she saw Riggs and asked who he was, we started to worry and when we mentioned you, she got anger"

"I can't believe this is happening, after everything we've faced and she still thinks I'm the same man who abandoned her when pregnant with our daughter"

"Scott you heard the doctor, her memories should come back"

"Yeah but we don't know when that will be. We don't know  how she's going to react when she see's how big Remi is now, or when she learns we're married and have more children together" I argued with them.

I thought her not waking up was a unknown situation, I thought that was painful and heart-wrenching  but this it worse, because I don't know how to handle this, how do I approach my own wife who doesn't remember the me now, the man that I am now. The man that she fell back in love with, the me she said I do too.

"We take it one step at a time, we tell her about the last few years, we will show her photos, she will remember Scott" Gail reassures me, shaking my head and sighed.

"Do you want see her?" Riggs asks me, throwing my eyes to him and then to Ella's hospital door, letting my eyes linger on it for a long moment.

Knowing that in that room she is awake and she is alive, but she's lost somehow. And I want nothing more then to run in there and lay eyes on her, pull her close and never let her go, but I also know that right now it's not possible.

"I want that more then anything, but I don't want to upset her. It might be best for you to go back in first and explains things to her and then if she wants to see me, I'll come in" I say to Gail.

Gail nods her head and kisses Riggs on the cheek before going into Ella's room and shutting the door behind her.

"Have faith son..." I heard Riggs mumble but my eyes are still on the door.

"Come on lets go and see the twins" He added.

Tearing my eyes from the door to my father-in-law and nodded my head.

Walking along with him towards the twins, I can't help but thinking about it all. Ella is finally awake and seems to be recovering...but the million dollar question is.

Will she remember me and our love?
