Mason James was laying on a hospital bed, hooked up to all kinds of machines.

Alexia still hasn't gotten used to it, even though it's been two weeks.

Camille woke up about 12 days ago and she immediately asked for Mason.

Camille slowly opens her eyes but shoots up when she remembers what happened.

Alexia is sitting by her bed when Camille puts everything together.

"Oh my gosh." Camille whispers, feeling the shock, and pain, of everything that happened.

"Mason. Where's Mason." She asks Alexia, knowing her brother would be by her side if he could be.

Alexia closes her eyes for a second. "Mason is in a coma. We're not sure if he's gonna wake up but he might." She explains.

"No." Camille whispers. "No." She says louder this time as she's trying not to cry.

He's still asleep when Camille walks into the room, her hair pulled lazily into a messy low ponytail.

Camille always cared about how she looked but she's been so worried about Mason she's stopped caring.

She sets down a cup of coffee next to Alexia, drinking the last bit of her third coffee today.

She grabs another one and starts drinking it. She hasn't slept in days.

"Cali." Alexia says quietly, still holding Mason's hand.

"I'm fine, okay? I just haven't been able to sleep much so I'm just having a bit of coffee, it's not a big deal." She brushes it off easily.

Athena got discharged last weekend, finally being able to go home.

Her body went through a lot of stress and she lost a lot of blood. It took hours but she's okay.

Camden and Athena are enjoying parenthood, their son being their whole lives.

The nursery has light blue walls and has toys along with a big crib and anything else you'd need for a baby.

Right above his crib is his name written in cursive. "Bentley"

They announced his name the day after the incident happened, when they knew everything was calming down.

Despite finding joy in her son, Athena can't move past what happened after they got to the hospital.

Camden is sitting with Athena while she holds their son when he gets a call.
