If Harry thought the flight between the States and England was long then flying to Australia was like flying around the word twice. He was beginning in to wonder if this plane was ever going to land. When they were finally on the ground Harry rented a car and drove the 3 of them to the hospital Rose was in. Anne was the one who went to the information desk telling them who she was and why she was there.
Minutes later they hear the yells of Steph and Andy calling their names.

"Gammy, Aunt Gemma, dad." The pair yells as they ran to them. It wasn't lost on Harry that the kids ran to his mom not him.

"You must be the Styles family." A very distinguished looking older man says. "I'm Dr. Samuels, I've been caring for Rose since she's been here. Those 2 amazing kids there have been staying with me and my family until you could get here. I knew Rose from when she lived here before, she and my wife are great friends." He says.

"Wait, Rose has lived here before?" Harry asks the doctor.

"Oh yes, this young man was about 3 at the time." Dr. Samuels says. "She was doing a year long tour here showing off her amazing abilities with animals, this kid is quite special too. My son is a vet here, he was quite taken with her." He laughs and shakes his head. "Poor kid never had a chance though, Rose shot him down right quick, telling him she was in committed relationship with Andy's dad and wouldn't dream of ever cheating on him."

At hearing that Harry pales and sways, if Rose was that faithful to him after being separated from him for 3 years she must really love him as much as she always claimed. And all he ever did was push her away and hurt her.
"Can we see her?" Harry asks.

Dr. Samuels looks at Harry then down at Andy. "So you're the one." He says. "Yeah, since you're married to her you can, follow me. I'll tell you now though, I'm not holding out much hope, the last test I did there wasn't much brain activity going on. That's never a good sign. Maybe if you talk to her you can change that."

"Did she have another anurisum?" Anne asks the kind doctor.

"No, I think she's just giving up. After Jorja was born, which my wife is bringing as we speak, I heard her say she couldn't do this anymore. We lost her then, she flatlined. We were able to bring her back but she's been like this." He says with a wave of his hand as the walk into Rose's room. "Every since, maybe you can talk to her and bring her back." He says putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.

Just as Harry is about to take a step toward Rose he hears a commotion behind him, turning he sees a beautiful older lady carrying a baby, with her is a nice looking guy who seemed to be arguing with the doctor.
"There is nothing you can do Conor, he is her husband. Stay out of it." Dr. Samuels snaps.

"He's not much of one if she's living here, by herself pregnant, caring for 2 kids alone. Where has he been dad?" This Conor yells. "Where was he when she lived here when Andy was 3? The guy obviously doesn't love Rose the way she deserves to be loved."

Harry crosses his arms over his chest and looks at the guy over. "And you do?" He asks the smaller guy.

Conor spins around and looks up at the taller, very good looking guy. He then glances at Andy and knows right away who this man is and why Rose wouldn't go out with him. "I probably love her more than you." Conor says. "I would never dream of hurting her or throwing her away like you have." He says.

"Really? How many girls have you slept with since meeting my Rose, and claiming to love her?" Harry asks this mouthy little shit.

"What the hell does that matter? Men have needs." Conor smirks.

"It fucking matters you ass. See the difference between saying you love someone just to get your hands on their money and actually having true feelings for that person is a world of difference. See the whole time Rose and I were apart I never even looked at another woman, I spent all my time working and looking for her." Harry snaps at the guy. "Her money means shit to me."

Conor chuckles, then fuck up and let's everyone there know he was after Rose for her money just like Harry said. "Sure it does, I'll bet the only reason you even started dating her to begin with was because of the money. Hell it's the only reason I would get involved with anyone with a kid already." Conor smirks.

Harry reaches out, grabs the guy and slams him against the wall. "Well let me tell you this you small minded little shit, I started dating and fell in love with Rose before she had all that money. In fact, Andy was born before she earned that money, it's her I love, her and my family. So why don't you go away and find some other rich bitch who might give you the time of day. Rose is mine." Harry snaps. Just as Harry was about to turn to go into Rose's room he hears a baby cry, spinning around again he looks at the lady holding his infant daughter. He watches as she walks toward him, when she's standing in front him, Harry looks down and almost passes out. Even though this child is tiny he can already see she's going to look just like him and Andy. Reaching out Harry takes his daughter, he then turns and walks into Rose's room and sits down in a chair beside her bed, holding Jorja in one arm he takes Rose's hand and just starts talking ignoring everyone around him.
After about 5 minutes Harry does something that shocks everyone watching, he leans forward and places Jorja in the bed with Rose, then picks her arm up and wraps it around the baby to keep her safe, Harry then lays his head on the bed beside both of them and cries.
