"Do I?" (Trilogy to "Do You Trust Me?")

Chapter Eighteen: Awakening

**PLEASE READ** - Before this chapter starts, I just want to say a big massive thank you. This story, along with the other two books of this trilogy wouldn't have gotten this far without all of you. Thank you for reading, voting, commenting and cheering me on when I wouldn't have the urge to update. I hope this story has and will continue to live up to your expectations and wants. This is the last chapter of the "Do You Trust Me?" series. My writing has come a long way since the first story of this trilogy, and I'm sure you can see that. I hope you've enjoyed the series just as much as I've enjoyed writing it. I'll be going through and editing all three of these books sometime in the future. I love you all and thank you for reading. Without further ado, here is the last chapter of the "Do You Trust Me?" series. Enjoy.

**NOT EDITED**

Rose's POV

~0 Days' Remaining~

I take a deep breath as I open my eyes, oxygen entering my lungs as I breathe, the sound of light breathing heard beside me. I ignore the presence for a moment and look down at my body, sitting up and moving my hands, looking at them in wonderment, so happy to be alive and well again. I close my eyes while a quiet sob escapes my mouth, the house dead silent as everyone sleeps. I wipe the tears off of my cheek with an arm while turning to look at the love of my life, Jeff.

'I'm back, baby.' I think to myself, slowly moving my legs off of the bed that I'm on so my feet touch the cold floor. I look down and see my bare feet hitting the ground as my belly moves every time I breathe. I hear crying a distance away and look up towards the door, recognizing Lilliana's cry. 'My baby girl, I'm coming.'

I stand up slowly and carefully, making sure not to awaken Jeff while walking out of the room, the door already open for me. I keep a hand on the wall while making my way to mine and Jeff's room. Once I get to the room of my loves, I open the door and see my baby girl in her crib, crying. I walk over and pick her up, smoothly and gently.

"Oh Lilliana, my sweet baby." I cry out quietly, letting the tears freely fall down my face, one tear hitting her cheek. I watch her eyes open as she looks at me, a smile coming across her face. I start crying harder while looking at her, admiring my girl's beauty. "It's me, mama." I whisper, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead after.

"Mama." the girl coos happily, clapping once. "You've gotten so big sweetheart. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Daddy has taken great care of you. I'm so proud of you both." I coo back to the girl, brushing some of her hair out of her face while walking over to the window, standing in front of it, looking out over the woods. I feel Lily's hand wrap around my finger, making me smile as the tears slowly stop.

"Do you want mama to sing you to sleep, baby?" I murmur, her eyes falling closed and opening up repeatedly. I slowly start to sing her to sleep with the song my mother would sing to me when I was little. 

"Your little hand's wrapped around my finger, and it's so quiet in the world tonight. You little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light. To you, everything's funny. You got nothing to regret. I'd give all I have honey if you could stay like that. Oh, darling don't you ever grow, don't you ever grow up; just stay this little. Oh, darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up; it could stay this simple. I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart; and no one will desert you--just try to never grow up."

I finish singing to my little beauty and lay her down in bed, happy that it got her to sleep. "Rose?" I freeze when I hear Jeff say my name. "Rose, please answer me. Let me know that's you." Jeff begs, making me turn to look at him, the moon barely lighting the room from the dark. "It's me, Jeff. I'm here." I whisper back, my tears starting back up again when he lets out a cry of his own. Jeff starts walking towards the crib where I am, standing in front of me.

"I can't believe you're finally back." Jeff cries quietly, cupping one of my cheeks with his hand, his palm getting a fresh coat of my tears, but he doesn't seem to mind. "I can't believe it either." I murmur, turning my face and placing a small kiss on his palm, missing his touch. After a few moments of silence in the same position, Jeff pulls me to his chest, giving me a big hug, the sweater he's wearing smelling of him, causing me to quietly bawl in his chest.

"How did I do? I'm worried I haven't raised her well enough." Jeff whispers, his hand on the back of my head. "You did perfect, baby. I knew you would. You're such a great father." I cry, pulling apart from the embrace, while looking up at him. "I've missed you so much Rosie, you have no idea." Jeff mumbles, pulling me closer to him again.

"I think I do." I say just as quietly, leaning up and pressing a kiss to his lips, automatically getting a kiss from Jeff back. "Can I trust you to never leave Lilliana or me again?" Jeff hushes while looking me in the eyes. "Can you trust me?" I question, already knowing the answer. "I do."
