Beautiful Love

Three

Its been a week.

Ive been laid in this hospital bed, unable to open my eyes but able to hear the conversation around me. Maggie refused to leave my side. Ryan had to drag her out of the room to get her to shower and eat. They keep saying, 'for the baby's sake' but I assume that means the triplets.

They haven't brought them to see me. Im glad though because I don't want them to see me like this.

"Jax, I hope you can hear me." I can my sweet angel. "Um, Im sorry this has happened to you. I miss you so much a-and I need you to just give me a sign, anything that you're gonna be okay." I want to but I physically cant. "The triplets started kindergarten. Sams been cancer free for a while now, hes finally growing his hair back." thats such a relief. "T-Theres another thing."

I heard her choke on a sob and her hand was placed into mine. "Im pregnant Jax. Im so scared, I don't want to go through it alone again. I thought Id have to, but youre here so please, please wake up to meet your baby."

My baby.

Shes pregnant with my baby.

Im gonna have another kid.

"I found out shortly after we thought you died. Im eight months along, its almost time and I just, I want you to be there for the birth of our baby."

I have to wake up.

I used all the strength I could muster to close my fingers around her hand. She gasped and reached to touch my face. "Jax? Baby, are you there? Ryan!"

My eyelids felt like they weighed a ton but I tried my hardest none the less to lift them up. And I did. Maggie choked on a sob and caressed my cheeks.

"Jax? Can you hear me?"

I adjusted to the light in the room and there she was. My angel. I nodded my head, my throat feeling to dry.

"Oh Jax." she threw herself onto me and started sobbing. I smiled, my arms not having the strength to wrap around her but I rested my head on her shoulder. "You're alive!" she cried.

"W-Water." my hoarse voice came out. She immediately poured me a cup of water and helped me drink it. I sighed at the relief and looked up at her.

"Hi angel." I smiled. She giggled and wiped at her eyes. My eyes trailed down her body and landed on her baby bump. Very prominent baby bump.

"Y-Youre pregnant?" I asked. She nodded her head. "Im gonna have five angels now."

"Yeah you are." she sighed.

"Come here." I nodded my head down and she hugged me again. I was careful of her baby bump and kissed the side of her head. She seemed quite speechless honestly.

"Maggie? You yelled, is something wrong?" Ryan came running in.

"Hey bro, where you been?" I smirked. Maggie giggled but didn't stop hugging me. I smiled and scooted over as best I could so she could lay beside me.

"Holy shit." he laughed in disbelief. "Good to see you man." he walked up and was most likely going to hug me but Maggie refused to let go of me. "Later." he laughed.

A doctor came in and I sucked in a breathe. I low key hate hospitals. They just freak me out.

"Mrs. Monroe, do you mind if I check his vitals and do a routine check really quick?" the doctor asked.

Mrs. Monroe. That is music to my ears.

"Do I have to?" she mumbled into my neck. I smiled and kissed my girls hair. She sat up and moved out of the doctors way. Ryan went to her side and rubbed her arms. Even while the doctor checked me, I didnt take my eyes off of her. I cant.
