I wake up to nurses telling me to breathe. They said I didn't need surgery since the car was coming towards the passenger side. They said I only had a few scrapes and bruises. How? I know that car hit me hard. When I ask them, they smile. They say my friend who was in the car leaned over to protect me and the babies. They said I could've lost my babies. Babies? They said I was having twins a boy and a girl. They said due to the accident I should have the babies about a month earlier than usual. They kept calling it a miracle. I only have to be pregnant for eight months and it shouldn't affect my babies. I ask to see Trevor and they say I can't. I ask them why. They said he might not make it out of the surgery he is in right now. When they say that, I go crazy. I start yelling and freaking out. Then a lady put a needle in me and I started saying funny things and everyone was looking weird. I know I saw a lady with a beard and mustache to her waist. It was swirling and moving all around. Next thing I know I am asleep again. This time when I wake up I am in a different room. I see Carter standing there hugging Elliot. Where is Nick? I open my eyes all the way. Carter turn toward me. Her eyes looked puffy, so she was crying. "Finally you're awake. You had me worried. You didn't answer my calls. I had to call Trevor, but he didn't answer. How do you feel?" Carter starts blabbering away. "I'm okay." I reply. Elliot walks over and looks at me. "I could say sorry, but it wouldn't mean anything. The regret I have is so strong. I almost killed myself over you. I need you. I can't live without you. I made the biggest mistake of my life. I was so angry and upset that I wasn't thinking. I took the anger out on you. I saw you dancing with him and everything just went down from there. I don't know what happened. I could ask for your forgiveness, but I know I will have to earn it. I love you honey." Elliot explains. His face is so full of pain and grief. I can tell he has been beating himself up over this. I look at him with all my might. "I love you Elliot and I darn well know you aren't perfect, so I forgive you." I tell him. His face lits up like a small child getting a Christmas present. "By the way, I have to forgive you since you are the father of our CHILDREN." I say hoping he will catch on. "I know. Our little child. No matter what gender it is I will still love the child." Elliot says happily. "You're right. No matter what gender the BABIES are, I will still love them. " I say. Elliot smiles and nods then his face turns into confusion. "Why do you keep saying they and them?" Elliot asks. "Baby, we're having twins. A girl and a boy." I tell him happily. "No flipping way. Unbelievable. I can't contain myself. This is amazing" Elliot says getting anxious. He gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Well I need to start shopping." Elliot says. "I'm sorry to ruin the moment, but what exactly happened in the car?" Carter asks looking really concerned. "Trevor and I were visiting Harris. We thought he changed, so we went out to lunch with him. Turns out, he did change. He isn't a coward. He is just disgusting. He said things like he loved me and I was always on his mind. It was so gross that Trevor and I just left. It was silent on the way home. When the light turned green we went forward, but this huge semi-truck was speeding our way and the last thing I saw before it turned black was Trevor reaching over to protect me." I explain the incident. "You could have been killed." Carter says. "You went to visit him without me." Elliot says getting upset. "I'm sorry, but it wasn't really a happy reunion I wanted you to come to. The only reason why you couldn't come is because I knew you wouldn't be able to handle yourself." I tell him. "You're right. I would've punched him at the sight of his face, but now that I know he wants my wife, I will kill him in the sight of his face." Elliot says smiling. We all smile. The doctor comes in. "Looks like you'll be okay. A few bruises and minor injuries, but nothing serious. If your friend hadn't reached over to protect you, your children could have died. It is a miracle that you both are still alive. You should've been killed on impact with how hard the truck hit you." The doctor finishes. I look up in shock. "Is he okay. How was the surgery? Is he okay? When can I see him." I start asking away. I try to get up, but Elliot rushes closer. "You can't get up." Elliot whispers. "He is doing much better. He is recovering. He had a bruised lung. He almost needed a new kidney, broken ribs in the ribcage, and a few broken bones. He almost died. A humongous piece of glass slid into his stomach, which caused him to lose a lot of blood. Before the surgery while he was on funny gas he kept muttering 'I'm coming back for my niece or nephew. I will be there when the baby comes.' After that we couldn't understand the rest." The doctor explains. "I have to see him now." I plead. "He is resting and he really needs it. Once he wakes, we will alert you and you can see him. For now, please let him rest." The doctor says. I nod my head.
