DRAKE POV
"Girls, Nicki wants you." I said walking to their room where Olivia was braiding Skylar's hair.
"Is mommy going to get better?" Skylar asked.
"Yes. Of course." I nodded.
NICKI POV
"Hey." I smiled at them.
"Mommy are you better now?" The little one asked.
I sighed and shook my head.
Her eyes teared, "When are you to get better?"
"Soon." I replied, she crawled over to me. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"Did you know fish is proven to help with brain development and stuff?" The older one stated.
"No, but then again I don't know much of anything." I shrugged.
"What if you eat a lot of fish? Maybe it'll bring your memory back faster." She suggested.
"Sounds like a good plan." I hugged her.
It actually ended up taking a few months before things were normal again. Several hospital visits, counselors, medications and home remedies later I think it was safe to say that I was back. I had my old memory back, but the memory of the past few months was the only thing that was a little fuzzy.
I woke up in the hospital bed with several machines hooked up to me.
"Onika how are you feeling?" A doctor asked.
"A little dizzy." I replied.
"What's your husband's name?"
"Aubrey.. Why?" I answered, confused.
"I'll be back with the rest of the test results." he nodded and left.
After he left, Drake entered.
"Hey babe." he pecked my lips.
"Why am I here?"
"You had to get surgery." he replied.
"Why, I thought they let me go home?" I started to sit up.
"Nic" he laid me back down, "you had brain surgery. It was a procedure no doctor has ever done before."
"Wh-what why?" my eyes watered.
"You lost your memory for months, nothing else would work." he explained.
"Months??" I blinked several times, "you're kidding?"
"Nic.."
"What?"
"Your birthday is tomorrow." he whispered.
"When can I leave?"
"They want to go over information to make sure the surgery actually worked. Just asking you questions that you should be able to answer." he informed.
"I didn't do anything stupid these past months right?" I sighed.
"No, I wouldn't let you." he kissed me.
"What did I do? Or.. Try to do?"
"Well.. You tried to get pregnant." he admitted.
I smiled softly, "and you didn't seize the moment?"
"No I could never do that to you." he defended, "I really want a child from us, but its not worth putting you through that."
"You're wonderful." I patted his cheek.
The doctor came in, "so Ms. Maraj, we had to stimulate your brain fibers in order to encourage the reconnection of your brain cells in the order according to everything your mind once knew."
"I'm a spanish teacher, science isnt really my niche." I blinked.
He ignored me and brought in some woman to ask me questions.
The questions were random, everything from my mom's first name, to how to say kitchen in spanish.
I passed with flying colors.
They let me go home but I had to take it easy.
The kids hugged me when I came in the door.
"Mommy are you all better now?" Skylar asked.
"Yes baby." I kissed her forehead.
"Look my tooth is wiggily!" She exclaimed and showed me her loose tooth.
"Wow cool! High five." I put my hand up.
She hit it.
"Alright, mommy has to go upstairs and rest." Drake intervened.
"I'll walk with you." Olivia offered.
"I'll stay down here with them." Logan added.
We started walking upstairs.
"When can you start working again?" Olivia groaned, "our sub sucksss"
"I actually don't know.." I replied getting into bed.
"We neeeeddddd you! She's so boring and strict, I can't learn anything from her. My grade is going down again even with Logan's help." She continued, "even Logan has a B, almost a C."
"That's insane, how long before grades go in?" I asked.
"Two weeks." She replied.
"I think I can figure something out before then don't worry. I'll send you or Logan in with a note tomorrow to give to her." I assured.
"Do you already have a plan?" Her eyes lit up.
"Yep but Im not telling you." I stuck my tongue out.
She kissed my cheek and left.
About 45minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I called out as Drake and I pulled away from our kiss.
The kids walked in, Olivia had a tray of food, Logan had a fold out table, Skylar carried a cup of juice and Matthew carried a cup of water.
Logan set up the table beside the bed, the others placed their items on it.
"We made you dinner!" Matthew smiled big.
"Awww it looks amazing!" I blushed. Drake helped me sit up as I began eating.
Matthew and Skylar went to grab a book for Drake to read to everyone as I ate. They ended up falling asleep on the bed. Olivia carried Skylar to her room, Logan took the table, plates and cups, while Drake carried Matthew to his room.
The said goodnight as they left and Drake returned, turning off the light.
"Welcome home." He smiled and pecked my lips.
"Good night babe, I love you."
"I love you too." He replied, "I'm so glad you're back."
"Yeah me too."
