Alex's POV
The sharp pain that hit my side did not come immediately after shots were heard. It came the second the door to my office swung open.
It nearly took my breath away. The adrenalin rush came to an abrupt halt as I began to struggle to breathe. As the darkness tried to consume me, Ariel began to panic. As I heard her screams I tried to calm her. I knew my eyes were closed but I couldn't seem to open them.
I had saved them and that's all that mattered. My future wife and children were going to be alright.
Those were my last thoughts before I went into oblivion.

*Ariel's POV
Three days later*
I sat in the hospital cafeteria with Beth and Anna. My nerves were in shambles because it had been three days.
Three whole days since I'd seen Alexander's beautiful blue-green eyes.
For starters, when we arrived at the hospital, the nurses told me that I couldn't be permitted through the double doors with Alex because I wasn't his wife.
Right then my first life changing decision was made. If Alex survived this, I wouldn't hesitate to marry him. The thought of losing him hurt way too much to just be in a monogamous relationship, I definitely wanted more.
Then, as I sat in the waiting room, a blubbering mess, the news that Nick and Beth were in an accident on the way to the hospital sent me nearly over the edge.
If Mr. and Mrs. Wright hadn't shown up when they did, I would have officially went into panic attack mode. I was already breathing into a paper bag as it was.
I was at the hyperventilation stage and it was not pretty.
Thirty minutes later when Anna came through the doors, I was already calming down a little thanks to Mrs. Sarah's panic. She was panicking so bad that the nurses asked Mr. James if he think she needed a sedative.
The process of calming her down essentially relaxed me as well. After that, the excruciatingly long hours passed with me silently going insane instead of me crying my heart out.
As I sat and waited beside him just for a slight movement or flinch of a nerve, I could think of nothing else besides him. Everyone would try to get me to leave the hospital and go home for a little while.
When I told them that wherever Alex was at was my home, I felt the dramatic chic-flic girl in me come out.
So for more than 48 houts I sat and laid beside him which I could because his room and bed were just Huge with a capital H. I read somewhere that even if someone is in a coma, there's a chance that they could here you. So I just talked to him keeping him company and also my sanity.
I spoke about the babies and potential names. I spoke about his family, and the kinda relationships I helped start between Hayden and Beth and Nick and Anna. I talked about anything and everything that came to mind.
By the third day, just about everyone else thought it would be best if I went out to get some air and my own food for a little while. I think they were just tired of going up and down the elevator and stairs. Mrs. Sarah came in to sit with him in order to relieve some of my anxiety about being away. "You have to get out of here sweetie. Just go take a breather, I'll be here with him if he wakes." She reassured me.
It was actually bad timing because I was talking about my decision for marriage, but that conversation would have been better if he could have, actually, responded. So I took a deep breath and pushed myself up out of the bed side chair. As I walked passed her, I inhaled once more. "Beth and Anna are out there waiting for you to go get something to eat." She paused, "You know his coma was medically induced, so he can heal properly without so much pain."
I nodded, "I know. It's just so difficult not hearing his voice every day."
She rubbed my protruding tummy. "He will be fine. My baby's a trooper."
When I walked out of the hospital room for the first time since they admitted me in to see him, not being his wife and all, I took a simple deep breath. Surprisingly, I was calm. I walked out to the waiting room, receiving a surprise standing ovation from all of the immediate people that came to see him.
"You've finally come out to see the light of day." Nick said. When I glimpsed out the window he added, "Too bad it's raining."
This made me laugh. For the first time in three days I laughed. Another boulder was lifeted off of my shoulders.
After greeting everyone, Anna and Beth accompanied me down stairs to the cafeteria.
When I got a whiff of the food my mouth began to water. Hospital food made my mouth water.
'This must be some type of five star hospital or something'
