Kentucky's Best

Chapter 30

Harry looks up at his mom. "Why didn't she show these to me?" He asks.

Anne shakes he head. "Maybe she wanted you to believe something she told you for once, in her, without proof." Anne says.

Harry doesn't say a word, he just sits back and watches the videos over and over, and the after he's got those memorized he started on the pictures. Harry didn't even realize when Gemma showed up until Andy walks up to him.
"Dad?" Andy says quietly.

Harry heard jerks up to see his son standing beside him. "Yes, son?" He whispers.

"Why are you looking at mom's phone crying?" Andy asks.

Harry didn't even notice he was crying, but he decided not to lie to Andy. So he put the phone down and leans forward, putting his elbows on his knees. "I was looking at the pictures of you your mom took when you were younger. I even watched some of the videos that someone took when you two were working with the animals." Harry tells his son. "It made me realize that your mom wanted to make sure I missed nothing while you grew up."

"Are you still mad at mom for taking me away?" Andy asks.

Harry sighs and picks Andy up and sits him in his lap. "No son, I was never really mad at her for that. I was mad at myself, it was my fault she left. I was just stupid and took my anger out on your mom." Harry says.

Andy turns and looks Harry in the eyes. "If you love mom so much why don't you just tell her? Why keep hurting her like you have been?" He asks.

Harry chokes back a sob. "It's not that easy son. I don't think your mom will forgive me, I've hurt her to much." Harry says as more tears falls from his eyes.

Andy then hugs his dad for the first time since they met. "But it is, mom still loves you dad. She still cries every night, and I can see it when I look at her." Andy whispers.

Harry just holds his son to him and cries, he doesn't care about the others in the room watching.
Over the next 3 days all the adults took turns staying with Rose, the rest would stay at the hotel and entertain the kids. Right now Harry was quietly sitting beside Rose's bed, holding her hand, for some odd reason he had a feeling either she was about to wake up, or something bad was about to happen again. As the minutes passed the feelings kept getting stronger, scaring him, grabbing his phone he did the only thing he knew to do.
"Mom, bring the kids to the hospital please, I'm not sure what's going on but I have really bad feeling. I need Andy here now." Harry tells his mom. "God baby please be okay." Harry whispers as he lays his head on the pillow beside Rose's head. "I love you so much, I need you back." He adds just as everyone runs into the room.
Harry sits back up and motions the kids forward. When Andy steps up, Harry looks at Steph. "You to Bug." He whispers causing her to run into her dad's arms. Harry pulls both kids into his lap and tell Andy what he's been feeling while holding his mom's hand.

Andy frowns and looks at his dad. "I'll see if you're right." He says. Andy then reaches out slowly and grabs his mom's hand as everyone watches, barely breathing, he then closes his eyes and tilts his head. Seconds later his eyes pop open and he turns and looks at Harry.
"Daddy." Andy whispers. "Mommy loves you too." Andy says with a smile. "She heard you, she says not to worry she'll be awake soon." He grins.

Harry hugs both kids to him and just cries, again. But they found out that Andy's soon was in fact not soon enough, for Harry anyway, he paced, mumbled, ranted and paced some more. About the time Harry was to his breaking point, there is a very light moan in the room causing everyone to freeze.
Harry spins around and looks at the bed, staring at Rose almost willing her to open her eyes, Harry walks slowly to the bed, just as he is even with Rose's hand her eyes pop open, her hand shoots out and grabs Harry's wrist.
Harry drops into the chair still sitting there and cries. "Rose? Babe, look at me." He whispers.

Rose turns her head and looks at the only man she's ever loved. "Where are my kids?" She asks in a rough whisper.

"Right there." Harry says, pointing at the sofa where Steph and Andy fell asleep. "Babe, they're fine, it's you we are worried about. Why didn't you tell me your headaches were getting worse?" Harry asks Rose.

"I didn't want to be a burden, Harry I just got home, I don't want to be the person who comes between you and whoever you may be dating at the moment." Rose says.

Hearing what was being said, Anne motions Gemma and Louis out the door so Harry and Rose can talk, with the kids sleeping, that was as private as she could make it for them.

"Oh, Rose, I'm not dating anyone." Harry sighs. "Even 5 years ago when you left I wasn't really seeing Erin. I was treating her cat at the clinic and would talk to her when she came in to see how she was doing. That day I came home and lost it was because I had a bad day and took it out on you, stupid I know." Harry whispers. "Rose, I swear, I haven't been with anyone but you since Rhonda died. You're the person I love, hell I was barely living the whole time you were gone. If it wasn't for Steph I probably would have given up." Harry says. "Babe I know I've fucked up so much you'll never forgive me, but, God I love you so much." Harry says kissing her hand.

"Harry, I love you too." Rose tells him. "I never stopped, there were so many times I wanted to come home, but we were scheduled for shows and I didn't want to upset the people who had already paid to see what I could do. I told Nathan and Mary, the ones that were I guess you could say my managers, I was done this year. I made well over 10 million dollars doing what I was, it was time to retire and go home.

Harry is shocked to hear how much money Rose has now, but he's glad she's home. Right now that's what's matters, that and getting her healthy again.
