Future Plans

Chapter 50

"Aaron, you should go home..."
Aaron...?
Aaron...!
He is alive?
He is here?
But...
Where am I...?
"No... I can't leave her..."
His voice...
I never heard it that quiet and broken...
He was crying...
"Aaron, dear... Your babies need you."
His mom...
His-
Babies...!
The twins were fine...!
Oh thank God...
"But... what if she wakes up and I'm not here? What will she think...?"
"That you're home with your kids."
His father was here as well.
My babies...
My babies were fine...
They aren't hurt...
Oh thank God...
"How are they?"
"They're screaming all day. They miss their father. And mother, of course..."
Posie was crying as well...
I could hear it...
"What about... her?", Aaron asked quietly.
There was a long silence.
Her?
Her who?
My mother...?
What was with her...?
"When?"
"Right away. It broke her neck."
Oh God...!
I killed her...!
"Scar will blame herself. I know it.", Aaron whispered.
"If she..."
"Aaron! Don't even think like that! She will wake up, she is strong.", his mom said, but I could hear doubts...
"Mom, it's been almost a week...."
Aaron's voice broke again.
"Oh, love... She will wake up soon, I assure you. She would never leave you and the babies alone."
I heard Aaron sob and felt his hand around mine.
"We will leave you alone now. But please, come home... for your babies..."
Steps walked away.
"Oh, Scar... why did you do this? Why did you risk your life for me?"
That's why...!
You!
I would do anything for you!
Aaron...
My voice...
You can't hear me...
I can't move...
I can't squeeze your hand...
But I'm here!
He started crying again.
Aaron!
Please, I'm here!
I saw him in my mind.
Him and our twins in his arms...
My family...
The cold...
It's shrinking...
The heat...
It's winning...
I felt the light running through my closed eyes...
I was back...
I could barely move, but I was back...
I blinked and finally opened my eyes...
"Aaron...?"
