*a day later*Josh's POV:
"You hear that Maya, baby? You're gonna be okay. So you can wake up now." I say to her lifeless body, following a discussion with her doctor. I kiss her left hand, that I'm holding, when I notice something. Her ring. It's gone.
I rush out to Riley who is talking to the cops about the incident.
"I think I know who did this." I tell one of the officers questioning Riley, who excuses herself to see Maya.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Joshua Matthews, Maya's fiancé."
"I see. Who do you think is responsible then?"
"Kelly. Kelly Clark. She has been threatening Maya for months, stalking us practically too, because I won't get with her. She took Maya's engagement ring."
"Well I'd like to take a full statement in the near future, but in the meantime I'll investigate Miss Clark. Thank you Mr Matthews."
"Officer." I nod my head and begin to walk back to Maya's room. Riley comes running out to find me.
"Uncle Josh, come quick!"
"What? Why? What's happened?"
"She's awake." I sprint into her room.
"Maya!" I quickly go up to her and kiss her passionately.
"Josh. I love you." She says, holding my head close to hers, as we let go of the kiss.
"I love you too."
"I'll get a doctor." Riley exclaims, making herself scares.
"It was her wasn't it? Kelly?"
"I don't know, I think so, I remember a platinum blonde."
"How do you feel?"
"Okay I guess. Pretty bad was it?"
"Yeah, you gave us a real scare, baby."
"I'm sorry." She starts to cry. I hug her tightly.
"You're fine now though so it's okay."
"No, my engagement ring, she took it. I'm sorry Josh, I don't have it anymore."
"Maya, it's okay, don't worry, we'll get if back, or I'll get you a new one."
"I don't deserve you."
"It's the other way round actually."
"How are your parents and Feeny?"
"Good. They'll be moved down here properly by the time of the wedding."
"Great. It'll be nice for the family to be all together."
"Yeah it will. Our family."
Then the doctor comes in a checks Maya over. I go for a walk outside when I stop her. I storm over to her."You did this! You evil phsyco bitch!" I yell to her.
"Thanks for the ring Joshy." She laughs.
"You'll pay for this."
"No I won't. My daddy will do anything for me. One phone call and nothing will ever come of it again."
"That's it! You leave me and my family alone for good! That includes Maya! Do not do anything to hurt us ever again, it I'll come for you personally!" I tell her aggressively.
"Sure thing baby." She winks and places the ring in my hand.
I run off to give it back to Maya.
"Maya I have a surprise. Shut your eyes." She followed my instruction and I get on one knee with the ring between my finger and thumb.
"Open." I tell her.
"Josh! You found my ring!"
"Of course I did." I slide or on her bruised finger.
"You're one in a million Joshua Matthews." She says between kisses.
"I love you." I say between more kisses.
She's mine, and she's okay. Thank God.
