Her New Mommy

You're the One

Cole's POV

Two weeks. She's been out for two weeks. The doctors said that she should've woken up within a day or two, but she hasn't and I'm a mess. It's been two weeks since I've seen her beautiful blue eyes, her gorgeous smile, and her amazing voice. 

I miss her. 

The only person who has been able to put a smile on my face is Jasmine but she hasn't been the same either. I can tell she's sad that she hasn't been able to talk with her. Every time I come home from the hospital she asks me the same question, "Has mommy woken up yet?" And every time I shake my head I can see the sadness in her eyes but she tries to keep a straight face. 

I constantly ask the doctors what's the problem but they always respond the same, "her body is healing. We don't see anything wrong, just be patient." It angered me because they kept telling me the same damn thing, and don't get me started on Andrea. She's gone completely crazy, by crazy I mean that whenever she goes into the hospital she never fails to cuss some nurse or doctor out, she was banned for a couple days for indecent behavior. 

Every day after I work I come here, to the hospital, and just wait. I hold her hand and pray to God that she's going to wake up. This is where I currently am, sitting in an uncomfortable chair my hand gripping hers, waiting. I've been here since 7 o'clock and usually, I leave around 10 which was slowly coming near. Just as I'm about to let go of her hand and leave the hospital I suddenly felt her fingers twitch. 

"Alice? Baby? Can you hear me?" I asked frantically. At first, she didn't respond but instead shut her eyes tightly as slowly shook her head side to side. Slowly but surely she began opening her eyes to adjust to the lighting. "Baby, say something."

She focused her bright blue eyes on me and smiled slightly before clearing her throat, 

"Hey Cole," she said groggily. 

I couldn't help myself, I pushed myself forward and kissed her. She weakly brought her hands up and pushed me away, "What's wrong?" 

"I'm pretty sure no one was brushing my teeth while I was unconscious so if you want to kiss me you better find a way for me to brush my teeth," she joked her voice hoarse. 

"Let me go get you some water," I said and exited the room. I found the nearest doctor and told him that she had woken up and I continued to find a nurse so that I can get water. After finding one she said she would take it to Alice's room right away. 

When I got back to the room the doctor was asking her the general questions just to make sure that her memory was still intact. 

"Alice, how are you feeling?" the doctor asked. 

"I feel okay, a little sore but I feel good."

"Alright we'll keep here for the rest of the night and run further tests in the morning and see if you can get discharged tomorrow," he said with a smile before exiting the room. 

I took the seat next to her bed and just stared at her. 

"Do I have anything on my face?" she asked. 

"No, I just missed you," I told her. 

"I missed you too. Well, I think I did because I was in a coma so I didn't really know any better but I would like to say that I missed you. I know that you're probably angry at me because I put myself in this position and am now here in the hospital but I swear I had a good reason and I don't want you to be ma-," I cut off her rambling by reaching forward and connecting our lips together. Her eyes widened and she quickly pushed me off her, 

"Cole! I said no kissing until I've brushed my teeth! I asked the doctor to ask a nurse to get me something so your just going to have to wait mister," she told me while narrowing her eyes and pointing her finger at me. 

I raised my arms in surrender and sent her a smirk, "You've been out for a while now and all I could think about was when I would be able to hear your voice, kiss your lips, hold you close, and see your beautiful blue eyes. Now you're awake and I can't control myself, I want to be able to do all those things," I told her. 

"As corny as all that was I love it. You can do three of the four things right now if you want. You can come and lay down with me and hold me while we talk and you can stare into my eyes when we run out of things to talk about," she told me with a smile. 

"I love that idea," I replied and as soon as I was going to pull back her covers a nurse walked in with a pitcher of water, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. 

"Here's what you asked for miss," said the nurse as she placed the items on Alice's nightstand and turned out of the room. "You know usually we don't allow for visitors to stay past visiting hours but I'll let it slide this time," she said with a smile. 

Alice and I shot her grateful looks before she walked out. "Looks like we can now do four out four now," I told her. 

"Shut up," she said with an eye roll, "help me get to the bathroom." 

She pulled back the covers and swung her legs to the side ready to push herself up and out of the bed, as she did so, she lost her balance and began tumbling down. Luckily I was able to catch her before she really fell and hurt herself again. 

"Easy there babe," I said with a chuckle. 

"Guess I still need to get my strength back," she laughed. 

I lifted her to the bathroom, toothpaste and toothbrush in hand, and supported her as she brushed her teeth. I brought her back to the bed when she was finished and laid down next to her careful not to hurt her. 

"Just because I can't walk very well right now doesn't mean I'm going to break if you get close to me, come here," she said while gesturing me closer. The bed wasn't very big which meant that I didn't need to go very far. 

She gripped the back of my neck and attached our lips together, kissing me hungrily. Usually, I was the one to take control but this time it was different, she was dominating and taking complete control, I liked it. I liked it a lot. I turned over to where I was on top of her but I held myself up so that I wouldn't crush her or anything. I don't know how long we were kissing but all I knew was that we were making up for lost time and I was enjoying every second of it. Once we were both satisfied I laid back down and pulled her into my side kissing the side of her head. 

"How's Jasmine?" she asked playing with my fingers. 

"Well, she's a little sad because she knows that something was wrong with you but I know she'll probably get better knowing that you're awake," I said smiling at the end. 

"I'm glad for that, I miss her so much," she said sadly. 

"Hey, you'll see her tomorrow and everything will be better."

"I know it will be. Cole, I love you very much and I don't know what I would do without you," she said cuddling further into my side. 

"I love you too Alice, 

You're the one."
