I sat up looking all around for Brantley but I didn't see him. I figured he was outside with Stephen or something since I had no idea what time it was.

"Taylor?" I heard Stephen say.

"Yeah. I'm awake. Where's Brantley?" I asked.

"About that. You're gonna wanna go in the kitchen." Stephen said rubbing the back of his neck. He looked like he had been crying or something. I got up and walked into the kitchen only to see Brantley's mom there in tears. I felt the tears in my eyes almost immediately.

"Where is he?" I asked grabbing my stomach.

"H- he was drunk. We have t-to go. It-it's bad." His mom said between sobs. I didn't say anything I ran up stairs threw clothes into a bag grabbed my phone charger, ran downstairs, grabbed Sylo, and left without even waiting for his mom or saying goodbye. I sped the whole way back to Georgia going straight to the hospital. I ran inside barely parking my car correctly.

"Brantley Gilbert." I said tears staining both my cheeks.

"He's in surgery right now. You can go up the the third floor waiting room." The nurse told me. I speed walked to the elevator repeatedly hitting the button until it opened I hit the 3 and hit the close doors button. When the elevator reached the third floor I sped to the little waiting area where I was met by hi dad and brother. They didn't have to say anything I knew it was bad his dad had puffy eyes and Kolby was still crying. That made me cry even more than I already was. I walked up to Kolby and wrapped my arms around him. We sat in the waiting room just waiting and crying. The doctor came out and I was the first one up.

"Gilbert family?" He asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Brantley is out of surgery. It went well he still does however have three broken ribs on both side, severe head trama, and more than a few bumps and bruises. He is in a coma and cannot breathe on his own yet." The doctor said. I felt like this was all my fault I left him. I should have stayed I don't even care that he cheated on me anymore I just want him to be okay. I turned around and Kolby was right there so I just cried into his shoulder.

"Can she see him?" Kolby asked.

"Depends on if she's family." The doctor said.

"Fiancé and mother of his children." Kolby said.

"Follow me." The doctor said taking me back to Brantley. When we reached his room I cried even harder remembering what my dad looked like right before he died. He was all hooked up to machines and nurses and doctors surrounding him.

"It's okay. You can go in." The doctor said. I nodded and slowly walked in the room before sitting down by his bed.

"I know you can't hear me, but I forgive you. I forgive you Brantley. Please come back to me to us. We need you to be okay. Please be okay. Don't leave me. Please. I love you." I cried into his hand. I didn't know what to do. There was nothing I could do to help him. I couldn't kiss him awake this wasn't a fairy tale it was a reality that I wished I wasn't living. Hours past and nothing had changed he wasn't getting better an he wasn't getting worse. His mom had made it back and been into see him a couple times bringing me food and drinks. The nurses also checked on me a lot. Becky took Sylo back to their house because I didn't plan on leaving anytime soon. I was going to be by his side until he woke up and I was going to be there for the rest of our lives.

~Time Jump~ (3 months later)

I was sitting in the hospital with Lyle and Teagan. They were now a month old, Brantley was still in a coma but breathing on his own, Becky was here with me everyday to help with the babies, Kolby was staying at our place to help me there, and life was good other than Brantley not being awake. Teagan was sleeping in her car seat and I was feeding Lyle a bottle when I heard a low moan I almost thought it was Lyle. Until I looked up and saw Brantley move I rapidly pushed the nurses button and a nurse came in.
