Ich Liebe Dich, Lena ~ pt 3

☆ Thirty-Four ☆

(This chapter is in Lando's POV)

I woke up to the sound of ambulance sirens outside our apartment and the second I didn't see Lena in bed with me I knew she had done something bad. The kids were fast asleep so I was able to leave them for a bit as I ran down to her. I had never put a shirt on so fast in my life. It was a literal nightmare. There she was... my own wife completely unconscious on the road. She had a big cut on her head that had bled on her hair and her leg and arm was definitely broken. I sat down next to her and put her head on my lap while stroking her blood covered hair. I couldn't hold my tears in. My soulmate laying there unresponsive. I begged that she would open her eyes and tell me everything would be alright and as if by magic she did so.

"everything's gonna be okay, Lan... just take care of Mira, Celeste and Stellar... ich liebe dich..." she said. Her body went limp after that. I checked for a pulse and there was nothing. I was crying my eyes out. She was dead. The paramedics were already trying to get all the equipment to get her heart pumping again but I didn't find out until after I got the kids and took them to the hospital with me. Thank god they were asleep in the triple stroller. I walked into her room and she was in such a horrible state. She was on life support. My heart was breaking so much. I pulled up the chair and held her hand. I reached over to her left hand and took her wedding and engagement rings off. I put them on my necklace for save keeping. I grabbed her right hand and squeezed it while kissing it.

"Lena...I can't believe this... I'm so sorry...I wish I could've been there sooner. I love you so much, Lena. Ich liebe dich so sehr, meine liebe" I said. I had tears pouring down my face. I took a deep breath and spoke again. "Lena...please, sweetheart. You have to hold on. The kids need you. I need you. Please, just fight for us" I said. I then heard Mirabella say "daddy...?". She scared me so much I turned around and she was so confused. I took her out of the stroller and cuddled her. It was the closest thing I would get to cuddling Lena.

"Why's mummy in the hospital bed...? why are there machines around her...?" She said. I couldn't tell her what actually happened. She was too little for that.

"Sweetheart, mummy is very sick right now. The doctors are trying to make her better but it's taking a long time. We have to be strong and patient for her" I said.

"Is mummy dying...?" She said. My heart broke. Mirabella wasn't a dumb kid. She was way too mature for her age. She learnt to speak way too quick. She wasn't stupid.

"No, no, my love. Mummy isn't dying. She's very sick but the doctors are doing everything they can to help her get better. We just have to be patient and strong for her" I said. I could see the tears in her eyes. She broke down in my arms. I never knew the pain of your own child crying in your arms until now. Mirabella was such a happy kid. She never cried unless she hurt herself and even then it had to be like broken bones level to make her cry so seeing her like this was horrendous. I had to stay strong for her. Lena would have wanted that, right?
