Can he mend the broken?

Chapter 15: Miracles do happen

Carl's POV

Fiona came in and woke me up. It was 9:30am. I was excited to see Ana but scared at the same time. I threw on my khakis and a nice shirt. Even though she wouldn't see me. I still wanted to look nice in her presence. I quickly ate the eggs and toast like I was starving. I wanted to be done as soon as possible so we could just leave to go see her.

"Okay let's go!" Fiona yelled when she came into the kitchen fixing her jacket. Me and Fiona jumped into the cold truck. She shoved the keys in and turned them. We drove to the local hospital which took 10 minutes. Fiona turned the truck off and pulled the keys back out.

"You ready?" Fiona sighed and looked at me.

"Yeah I guess so," I turned my head to the door handle and put my hand on it. I opened the door and stepped over the puddle barricading me from the ground under me. I shut the door and walked around the truck to meet Fiona. We walked to the door which automatically slid open for us.

"Hi we're here to see Ana Spear," Fiona stated.

"Room 109," the nurse smiled and we speed walked down the hall. I was eager to see her. Who knows if she is going to wake up soon or even make it. I hated to think that but I need to wake up to reality and face the truth. Her door was open and the light was off but her lamp was on next to her shining on her face. Fiona stood at the doorway as I slowly made my way to her bed and I kneeled down. I lifted her cold hand into mine and squeezed it.

"Hey babygirl, i'm here. I did good for you and i'm out. Please wake up," I stared at her face. Her skin was pale and her lips parted slightly. I hated looking at her like this. I got up and sat down on the bed next to her. I eventually laid down and held her not as tight as usual. I fell asleep and woke up to a sudden repetitive beep.

"No, no, no ,no. Ana please stay with me please!" I shouted as nurses crowded the room.

"I'm sorry but you need to step out," a male doctor began to push me out.

I didn't even bother to fight back, I needed to stay strong for Ana and let the doctors do their thing. I sat with Fiona on the cold tile floor. I sobbed into my hands.

"Fiona, is she gonna make it?" I said between my breaths.

"I hope so, i'm praying Carl," she patted my back and kissed my head.

We sat in silence for the next 15 minutes. I almost fell asleep when I heard the door open beside me and a nurse came out and began to speak.

"She is okay. In face she is awake and would like to speak to you," she smiled. My face lit up instantly. I felt a million me's jumping around inside of my stomach.

"Thank you God, thank you," I looked up to him. "Ana!" I yelled and practically jumped on her attacking her with kisses.

"I missed you too," she giggled.

"Can she come home today?" I pleaded.

"Well since she is awake she needs to take a quick survey on how she is feeling. If all goes good she can come home with you," the nurse smiled. Me and Ana sat and talked about how juvie was and what it was like. An hour later I had to leave the room so she could take the survey. After 20 minutes the nurse came out.

"She is all set to go home. Fiona could you sign her out?" She asked.

"Of course," she stood up and followed her to the desk.

"I'm so excited for you to come home. I can finally sleep by your side again and wake you up in the middle of the night just to talk to you," I smiled.

"And we can watch movies and eat pizza rolls all day!" Ana shouted and I laughed.

"Of course we can," I kissed her forehead.

"Alrighty Ana you are all signed out and free to go. Take care," he gave her a side hug after she got out of her bed. We left the building and walked to the truck hand in hand. I decided to sit in the back of the truck with her. Which is unusual because I always fight over the front with my family.

"Can you give me a piggyback ride into the house?" Ana begged.

"Of course princess,"

I jumped out of the truck and stood in front of the doorway so she could easily get on my back. She was really short compared to me. I'm 5'7 and she is 5'1. I carried her all the way up the porch and into the parlor where the rest of my family happened to be.She screamed after I pulled her to my front a threw her on the couch.

"Why would you do that?" She yelled and pouted.

"Cause I felt like it," I smirked.

"Jerk," she playfully slapped me.

"Can we go lay down upstairs and just talk?" Ana looked up at me.

"Yeah of course. Goodnight everyone," I said and walked upstairs as everyone said goodnight and Ana followed me upstairs. She kept slapping my butt cause she knows that gets me mad.

"Stop slapping my ass, I'm not a girl I don't like that shit," I teased.

"Oh shut up and stop complaining. It's my first day home I get to bother you all I want," Ana giggled.

"Whatever you say princess. But I know I'm going to beat you to my room," I sprinted down the hallway.

"That's not fair. You started before me!" She complained and didn't even bother to run.

I sat climbed up the ladder to my bed. I sat down and waited for Ana. She came in and climbed up too.

"Let's lay down," Ana pulled me down with her onto the pillow.

We stared at eachother for awhile. I felt so happy in her presence. I am thanking god every moment I have with her.

"Goodnight Carl," she cupped my cheek in her hand.

"Goodnight princess," I smiled and kissed her lips passionately.
