Chapter XXVI: Awakened

*TJ's POV*

She grasped my hand tighter than before as I stood up with hope looking at her pale face. She turned to me looking into my eyes sad and frightened. I took her into my arms and just held her. I held on to my angel never letting go afraid that I'm going to lose her again. I felt her sobbing, and I can feel her tears falling down her face. I pulled back and looked into those angelic eyes of his and I kissed her salty lips.

"I missed you so much." I whispered.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean....

"It's okay you were scared and I understand that okay. I was so worried about you Bella . I thought something had happened to you"

"TJ ?" he said

I tucked her hair behind her ears, and looked at her.

"Yes?" I answered

"Is the baby okay?" she asked

Tears of happiness formed into my eyes when she mentioned our unborn baby. I looked over and gently pressed my hand against her belly, and felt the baby kick. I was filled with joy knowing our little bundle of joy was still alive, because the both of them mean so much to me.

"The baby is fine love." I said as I reached for her hand and placed it beside mine on her belly. "don't you feel it kicking inside? don't you feel that?" I sobbed.

She looked at me as if she was unsure of how she felt about this. She didn't seem happy like she was before, and she just kept shedding tears. Why isn't she happy about our baby?

"Bella what's the matter? why aren't you happy?" I asked.

She ignored me, and just buried her face into the pillow beside her. I leaned against her and began rubbing her back to comfort him.

" Please stop crying. I love you." I said.

"I-I can't help but to think that deep inside you hate me TJ , and that you're afraid to show it because you don't want to hurt me." She sobbed.

"What? Of course not. I don't hate you, I never have. I have no reason to ever hate you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me no matter what you think and I couldn't ask for anything else. You're all of me. You're the backbone that keeps me strong. When you breakdown I breakdown. I'm not the same without you. When you were gone I was a mess I didn't know what to do to save my life. I was running around clueless of how to get you back into my arms. I'm lost without you, and I don't know where I'd be if you hadn't given me your heart. You're truly a blessing to me, and you're my gift. You're the gift that I've been waiting for all my life, and now that I have you I'll be damned if I let you go."

Bella frowned and began letting the tears fall from her eyes again holding on to me tighter than before. I held her hand close to my heart keeping our grasps locked.

"Don't let me go." She whispered.

"I won't ....I promise. I won't let you go." I replied as I planted a kiss on his forehead.

I pulled back and wiped her tears away, and I held her close to me once more keeping her calm. After a few moments Dr.Alex had came in to check on Bella .

"Hello Ms.Amici! I see you're awake now. How are you feeling?" she asked as she placed her hand on her forehead.

"I feel okay." She said. " I'm still sore though."

"It's good that you're feeling a little better, but as for the pain I'm going to prescribe you some pain pills to numb the pain so you won't have a hard time. But good news we managed to get an ultrasound of your baby a while back, and it's a girl!" she said happily as she gave me a picture of our baby girl on the ultrasound

As I looked at the picture fresh tears started forming inside my eyes again, because we're having a girl. A baby girl is what we're having, and I couldn't be any happier. This is the greatest news I've gotten in months! Bella  made room for me on the hospital bed, and we both looked at our baby girl. She finally became happy, and she began shedding tears of joy after knowing that she's going to give birth to a beautiful baby girl. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me. I gently pressed my lips against her forehead. from that point on she fell asleep resting peacefully in my arms
