Shawn POV

"Mhmm" I groan as I feel somebody grabbing my arm. "Bey?" I ask as my eyes begin to open.
I immediately shut them as the bright light is too much. I open them again and them adjust to the light. "Who are you?" I ask the old lady beside me.

"I'm Nurse Stephens. I've been your nurse since you've checked in. I'm glad too see your finally awake" the nurse says while smiling at me.

"Do you know where my fiancée is?"

"We have contacted your family and they should be here shortly. But right now the doctor is going to come in and make sure everything's fine."

I nod my head, trying to take everything in.

"Mr. Carter it's great to finally see you awake, I'm Dr. Frazier" the doctor says while shaking my hand. "Now I'm just going to check a few things to make sure you didn't lose any important senses" I nod my head understanding.

He started by checking my eyes by flashing his bright ass light in my eyes. He took a scalpel and ran it along my foot to make sure I could feel it, which I could.

"Could you try moving your left leg for me" I put all of my strength into moving my leg but it wouldn't move. "No worries, your nerves in your leg haven't been worked for a long time, that's why you can't move it. Nothing some physical therapy can't fix" Dr. Frazier says as he writes in his clipboard.

"Could you tell me how I ended up in here?" I question the doctor as he checks the bandage around my head.

"You don't remember?"

"Nope, the last thing I remember is proposing to my girlfriend" I tell him.

"Well you and your girlfriend were involved in a really bad accident. A truck rammed into your car, flipping it over a few times. Your girlfriend had minor injuries, but when you came in you had a lot of bleeding in your brain. While operating you fell into a coma."

"How long was I in a coma?" I ask shocked at what I've just been told.

"About 6 months, but I'm glad to see that your memory is still pretty much intact. That's a good sign. Nurse Stephens is going to change your bandage around your head, and your family should be here shortly so you can be around more familiar faces."

"Thank you doctor"

"Just doing my job"

As Nurse Stephens changes my head bandage I just think about all the things I have missed in the past six months. I wonder how Nahla took the news, probably thought I was leaving her like her mother.

Bey POV

I walk off the elevator onto Shawn's floor. I couldn't believe the phone call from Nurse Stephens saying that he woke up. I called his mom on my way here, and she should be coming shortly. Along with Nahla who my parents will be bringing

"Hi Ms. Knowles" Nurse Stephens says as I run into her on my way to Shawn's room. "I know your excited"

"Kind of" I say nervously. "What if he doesn't remember me?" I question with sympathetic eyes.

"Oh honey you have nothing to worry about" she says while comfortingly touching my arm. "He pretty much remembers everything and has been asking about you and Nahla since he woke up." I smile at that. "Go ahead and see him"

I nod my head and walk towards his room. I take a deep sigh before entering the room. Upon entering I see Shawn messing with the bandage on his head and I lightly giggle.

"I don't think you should be messing with that" I say making my presence known.

Shawn's head shoots up with a big smile on his face. "Bey?"

Tears immediately fill my eyes as I hear the voice I have missed so much in the last six months. I walk over to the bed and Shawn instantly pulls me in for a hug.

"I missed you so much" I cry into his chest.

"I missed you too" he says while soothingly rubbing my back to calm me down. "Where is Nahla?"

"She's on the way with my parents"

"Okay" Shawn says while just staring at me.

"What?"

"I've just missed that beautiful face of ours" I blush hard as hell. "So what have I missed these past few months?"

"Well Nahla kind of shut down for a while after your accident, it was really hard for her to deal with a while." I tell him and I automatically see the hurt Shawn feels on his face.

"But don't worry babe she is back to her normal self, and is going to be over the moon that your up." I say while grabbing his hand. "Just last week Annie apologized for the way she treated me and were cool now"

Shawn chokes on the water he is drinking. "What?" He asks shocked.

I laugh. "I know that's the same reaction I had"

"I told you she would come around" he says rubbing my hand.

Just his simple touch has me feeling all bubbly inside, I really missed my baby. I know y'all thinking I should have told him about Austin but he just woke up, I want to at least give him time to get adjusted. Plus what happened will never happen again, so it's not even that important.

"Oh and the biggest surprise of it all...."

"Is what?" Shawn asks.

I take his hand and place it on my belly. "I'm pregnant" I say as my eyes water up.

Shawn just stares at my belly in shock. "I'm going to be a father again?" He asks with tears in his eyes as well.

I nod my head. "Yes you are" I wipe the tears falling from my face.

"Oh my god" he says in disbelief while rubbing my belly. "I love you so much" Shawn says while kissing me.

My heart warms at those words that I haven't heard in so long. "I love you too."

While waiting for everybody else to arrive, I lay with Shawn in the bed while he rubs my belly, and talks about how excited he is for the baby. For the first time in the past few months I was completely happy.
