3 Months Later

"Alex, if you can hear me please give me a sign any sign. I mean it has been three months now since I've heard the sound of your voice. I would do anything to hear it again. Your dad is devastated I guess we both need our princess back. You need to come back to us baby please." I say gently squeezing her small pale hand. She starts violently shaking. I start calling Xavior and he comes in running.

Alex has been having a lot of seizures ever since she has been comatose. She has about 2 seizures approximately every 3 hours. Xavior, Greyson and some other doctors think that the reason she is not showing any signs of improvement is because of the seizures are too frequent and they are not allowing her brain to recover. Greyson and Xavior are the doctors that are taking care of Alex around the clock. Xavior manages to stop her fit and leaves the hospital room.

"You scared me there princess" I say taking her hand.

"So tell me when you wake up how many tubs of ice cream do you want me to get you? If you squeeze my hand it means two and if you smile it means you get a life time supply. So are you going to answer me?" I ask playfully. I really miss Alex's smile and her beautiful green eyes. I miss her sweet smell and her touch. I miss everything about her. I suddenly feel her hand softly squeeze mine. I start chuckling and calling Xavior once again without letting her hand go. Alex's love for ice cream is ridiculous.

"She moved" I say smiling like an idiot.

"What, are you serious?" He asks skeptical. I show him Alex's hand that is still on my hand. Xavior peforms some test on her and he looks at me with a disappointed face.

"It was a reflex" he says shattering my high spirit and sitting down on the couch on the other side of the bed. Greyson comes in and greets Xavior and ignores me. He has been like this ever since he found out what really happened to Alex. Everybody else believes that it was a robbery gone wrong and we still haven't found the thieves. I don't blame him though I am angry with myself. Xavior leaves the both of us alone to go home. It must be hard on him. I mean his sister is in a coma and still has a possibility of dying while he has a newborn baby to look after. I go out to go get something to eat since I skipped breakfast.

I get back to find Amber and Kyle in the room. Alex is never alone she almost always has someone coming to visit her. Her room feels like a botanical garden during spring, it has a lot of flowers. Alex has this special thing with people and I guess that is why I fell in love with her. After eons they say their good byes and leave. I am once again left with Alex alone. After a couple of hours since everyone left I feel her hand moving once again and it is proceeded by a sound I have been yearning to hear for the past three months.

"I thought you said you were going to get me two tubs of ice cream, I did squeeze your hand right or did I not?" She asks frowning. I stare at her in amazement, I really didn't think she was going to wake up today.

"Ashton are you going to answer me?" She asks shaking my hand.

"Uh...your brother said it was a reflex...but I guess you did squeeze my hand so I guess I should go get you your ice cream then" I say standing up.

"No don't leave" she says tightly holding my hand.

"Ok I won't leave you Princess" I say kissing her forehead and sitting back down.

"How long have I been here?" She asks looking around.

"Three months" I say sitting back.

"So what can you tell me that I have missed out on" she says giving me the smile I have been praying for these past three months.

"Well are you going to say something?" She asks impatiently.

"Well, you have a new nephew and his name is Aiden. That's basically all I can tell you" I says admiring her. No words can describe how happy I feel that she is awake again.

"You haven't been sleeping" she says examining me.

"I'm fine don't worry about me, how are you feeling?" I ask.

"I'm fine, I think you should go and rest" she says concerned.

"I'm fine Alex" I say smiling.

"Just do this for me please" she begs.

"Fine" I say kissing her and leaving. I meet Greyson along the way and tell him that Alex is awake. I see a look of relief wash on his face. He runs past me to Alex's room. I get home and shower and eat dinner and go to sleep.

I am awakened by the alarm and a wave of happiness washes over me. I mean my Princess is awake. I quickly get put of bed and hop into the shower, get dressed and go to my car. I pass by a shop and get some ice cream for Alex and go to the hospital. I fast walk to her room and I find Xavior examining her.

"How is she?" I ask looking at a sleeping Alex.

"Greyson told me she was awake. She had a seizure around 2 am in the morning and she became comatose" he says woefully. With that my heart shatters. I shouldn't have left her. I should have stayed with her.
