~Noel's POV~

"I'm fine Noel" Aria tells me in her stern but loving voice. A voice I want to hear for the rest of my life but since the doctor left I can't help but imagining the worst. This girl... she's amazing. She has done nothing else but try to calm me down since the doctor told us about her condition. And she's comforting me while I should be comforting her. Just thinking about it... Oh God.... I close my eyes as I can feel myself becoming dizzy. I try to relax myself because right now I feel like my heart is going to literally explode out of my chest right now. I might be having a mild heart attack for all I know.

"Aria, this is serious." I can't help but run my hands through my hair in frustration and desperately look at the ceiling, not being able to look her in the eyes... "Ali called 911 and you're in the hospital!" I tell my wife with concern and maybe a little louder than necessary. "I can't..." I say after I looked in her eyes, they always made me weak. My eyes start to tear up and I turn so she can't see me. Be a man Noel, be there for your family I encourage myself while looking out of the window, trying to control my breathing and myself. Breathe in... breathe out....

"Baby... its okay. We're going to be okay. Come here." Aria interrupts my thoughts, calling me over to her. She's laying on the hospital bed extremely pale, with an IV hooked up to her arm. I hate seeing her like this. She looks so weak and tired.

"How do you know it's going to be okay? I could have lost you! Both of you today." I tell her as I walk over to her, this time with no bite in my tone. You can hear the uncertainness in my voice.

She immediately pulls me down to her and brings my head to her chest. Rubbing the back of my neck as I can't help but to surrender to her and silently cry into her chest as she kisses the top of my head. She's always been nothing but loving towards me, even when I should be the one comforting her. God get yourself together man.

"I'll be more careful. I should have told Ali as soon as I started to feel off. I thought if I just took a nap and rest everything would have been okay." Aria tries to calm me, using her soothing voice.

"You've got to let one of us know if something isn't right Aria." I tell her in a scolding manner. "This is serious. Your blood sugar dropped so low and your red blood cells count is not where it should be."
