I turn around. "Elliot?" I say. He smiles. "Where have you been?" I ask feeling his face. "Here." He answers. I'm not dreaming my dead boyfriend is alive. The man whose ashes I cried over for days...."I guessed that Elliot I'm talking about for the last six months! I suffered post-partum depression because of you! Do you know what it's like to not be able to hold your children without having an emotional breakdown?!" I ask. "Lexi....." He begins. "Don't you Remember what you promised when we found out I was pregnant?" I ask. He pauses and looks confused. He turns away thinking. "You don't remember do you?" I ask. He turns to me with fear in his eyes. He hesitates. "Elliot?" I say. "I didn't remember anything when I woke up from the coma. But I'd have dreams about you so much I asked Tyrell about you. He told me everything he knew." He replies. He sits down. "It's not that I didn't want to remember you or be with you. I just didn't know what's the first thing to say. That I'm sorry I missed the birth of our children. That I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. That I'm sorry I don't have what it takes to be the man you want and deserve." He says. "I felt things for you and I didn't know why. You're the center of my world and I'd do anything for you. So I'm asking, begging even for you to forgive me." He says. I sit beside him and hold his hand, "Ofcourse Ell." I reply.
