When I woke up I saw that I was in a white room. What happened? Where's Braxton? Are my babies alright?
"You're up." a nurse said.
I guess I didn't notice her at first.
"What am I doing here?" I asked.
"Sheriff Martino and assistant deputy Thorne found you passed out in a burning house." she said.
I forgot that the house was on fire.
"You weren't burned or anything but you did have a little bit of smoke ventilation but that's gone now." she said.
"Are my babies okay?" I asked afraid for their lives.
"They're perfectly healthy."
"Um...the guy that was brought in here with me. Where is he?" I asked.
"He's was in ICU but now he's in a room down the hall. He hasn't woken up yet though."
"Can I go see him?"
"After you eat. And don't try to rush and finish either."
The nurse bought me some food and I ate. I was hungry and asked for some more. After I was done I was allowed to go see Braxton. The nurse told me what room he was in and I waddled my way to it. I opened it and saw that he was still unconscious.
I pulled up a chair next to his bed and sat.
"You promised me that you'd be careful. You wouldn't be in here if it wasn't for me. Why did you fall for me? You should have just stayed away. This is all my fault. Braxton please wake up. The boys and I need you." I sobbed.
I wanted nothing more than him to wake up and tell me that everything's okay. To tell me that he loves me and the boys.
"Braxton I won't be able to do this on my own." I said.
The door opened and I looked at it. Johnny walked in.
"O you're awake." he said.
"Yeah." I said.
"You guys worried us. You've been out for a day."
"Sorry."
"It's okay you're up now and he'll be up soon too. I'm sure of that."
I hope he's right. Johnny stood a little while then left.

Braxton hadn't woken up at all yesterday. The doctor said that I would be free to go home tomorrow. I was going to go see Braxton again. I hope that he's awake. I got to his room and saw a nurse walk out.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"He woke up." she said.
"Can I go see him?"
"He's not really suppose to have visitors right now."
"O." I said defeated.
I just wanted to see him.
"Are you the girl that was found in the burning house with him?" she asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well I'll make an exception just this once. If you get caught I didn't let you in."
She left and I went in his room. Braxton was sitting up in the bed just staring into space.
"Braxton." I said.
He turned to see who had called his name.
"Phoebe you're ok." he said.
"Yea the boys and I are fine." I said.
"Come lay next to me."
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"It'll be fine."
I walked over to the other side of his bed and got in.
"I'm glad you're okay." I said holding back my tears.
"Hey don't cry everything's fine." he said.
"Why'd you do that?" I asked punching his chest crying.
"Ouch. Why'd I do what?"
"Go and get yourself shot."
"I'm sorry okay. I was just trying to protect you and the boys."
"You could've went to the police."
"I did but they we're taking too long. Look it's over now and we'll never have to go through this again. Let's just put this in the past."
"Alright."
The door opened and a doctor came in.
"Alright Mr. Martino let's see how you're..."
He stopped talking when he spotted me.
"You aren't supposed to be in here." he said.
"I sent for her." Braxton said.
"Well I need to check him out so you're going to have to get off the bed."
"Do it while she's on here."
"You're going to need your bandage changed. She's going to have to move."
"I'm just going to get off the bed." I said.
Braxton turned to tell me something.
"It's okay I'll just go sit in the chair." I said.
