"Rachel I remember" Colleen says quietly as I follow them. She walks into our room and sees our bassinet we have for Juliana. She touches it softly and spins to face me with tears coming down her face. "Joshua" she cries as I pass Juliana to Gwen. "This was Lily's" she says. I nod and start to sob as I grab her. "Lily brought us Juliana sweetheart" I say hugging her as I realize we are alone now. She starts to walk over to our bed and she feels the sheets. "I remember all of what has happened in here" she says smiling. I lean in and kiss her. I am so emotional. "You came back to me darling" I say holding her face. She nods holding into my waist as we both feel reconnected. She walks over to the bassinet and cries again. I hold her from behind kissing her neck. All the pain is coming back. "Babe she is still with us. We have Juliana now" I say tearing up. She nods. She sighs in my arms and we walk out to where Rachel and Gwen are. They are hugging each other as well. "Sorry to make you cry" Colleen says to them."We are happy Colleen" Gwen says hugging her. "Mom?" Colleen asks. Gwen holds her and watches her talk. "I need to see everyone in case I forget again" Colleen says. Gwen nods and looks at me. "We are having a party! Call everyone!" I say hugging Colleen. Rachel and Gwen start calling everyone. Colleen scoops Juliana out of Gwen's arms and we walk down the hall just the three of us. We walk into the nursery and Colleen sits in the rocking chair staring at her. "She is gorgeous" she whispers smiling holding onto Juliana's hand.I kneel down and face her. "She is. We are blessed" I say. Juliana is passed out in her arms so Colleen gets up with her and lays her in her crib. We turn around and walk out and down to our room once again. "Want to sleep?" I ask watching her. "I want to cuddle you" she says. I smile and walk towards her and lay beside her. I run my hand through her hair kissing her lips. "I am sorry Joshua for hurting you" she says grabbing my hand. "I knew you would come back" I say kissing her lips again. She nods and smiles and crawls into the nook of my neck until I hear her breathing slow down. She is asleep. She is the one thing that keeps me alive. I love her and everything she has done. She will always be The One.
