- Heather's POV
I groan hearing a loud beeping sound. I blink a few times finally opening my eyes. I squint noticing the bright light. I take a few minutes allowing my eyes to get adjusted to the room. When I finally feel comfortable, I open my eyes looking around the small room. I notice the heart monitor, the hospital bed, the sterile smell. I then realize where I must be. How did I get here? I look around the room but still can't recollect anything. I begin slightly moving however stop when I feel a pressure on my hand. I look down seeing Xavier's head laying on it. I take my other hand gently brushing my fingers through his hair. He's here... he's actually here.
He stirs slightly grumbling something under his breath. I relax back against the bed for a minute before the door swings open revealing Theo carrying Luca. I quickly bring my finger to my lips telling them to be quiet before I point at Xavier.
Theo chuckles lowly but walks to the opposite side of the bed. Allowing Luca to lay in the bed beside me. I quickly wrap my free arm around him pulling him against me. I feel all my emotions finally catch up to me. I begin crying still holding him to me. My breathing begins picking up. My heart rate monitor speeding up alerting Xavier. He jumps to alert looking around the room only for his eyes to land on me. I look into his electric blue eyes and I begin heavily sobbing. He is quick to gather me in his arms while I hold the two most important people to me.
"You're here." I whisper between sobs. He pulls me tighter to him nodding his head. I can't help but let out a crying chuckle. "God, I was so worried I would never see you again."
"Your mine Sweetheart. I will always find you." He says kissing my head. I feel Luca nuzzle into my neck making me wince at the touch. Luca pulls back looking at my neck. I see him study it for a moment before his begin getting teary.
"Lil man, look at me." I say lifting his chin. His glossy eyes connecting with mine. "Momma is here." I say cupping his cheek. He gives me a sad smile.
"My Angel has been hurt." He says dropping his head. I clear my throat making him look back up.
"Hurt is not broken." I state confidently. He nods his head.
"Hey Luca, why don't we got get momma a drink?" Theo suggest. Luca looks at me questionably. I can see he's hesitant. I give him a reassurring smile with a nod. He opens his arms wanting to be picked up. I giggle along with Theo. Xavier is still being extremely quiet. I watch As Theo gathers Luca and walks out of the room. My eyes landing back on a rigid Xavier.
"How bad is it?" I whisper out. His eyes still glaring at my neck. His body so tense I can see his veins in his arms. He leans forward while his hand lifts up to touch it. He stops before making contact fisting his hand. He doesn't answer me.
"What happened?" I know he is questioning the bruising. I gulp and try to refain from shuddering.
"He got angry.." I keep it vague. I can tell he is upset and I don't want to add any more fuel to the fire.
"Did he... Did he touch you?" I shake my head negatively. I see his body relax slightly. I cup his cheek and watch as he leans into my touch. He closes his eyes and breaths deeply. "I was so worried."
I watch as a tear rolls down his cheek. I swipe it away with my thumb before pulling his face gently towards mine. I tenderly connect our lips reassuring him i'm here. He braces the back of my neck deepening the kiss. The kiss turns heated quickly. I lay back on the bed his body following suit. I feel him press himself to me making our bodies mould together. I let out a soft moan which makes him pull back. I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.
"I won't be able to stop." I nod my head letting out a deep breath relaxing my head on the pillow. His body still on mine. His eyes connecting with mine. "I can't loose you love."
"Knock knock" I turn my head at the sound of Nicholas' voice. My blood turning cold. Cami. My eyes go wide and I look from Xavier back to Nicholas.
"Cami is alright beauty. She is in the room next door." He says raising his hands to sooth me. I take a deep breathe and I feel Xavier gently pull me up. When did he get up? I look back to Nicholas who is strolling towards me. I embrace his hug feeling him sigh in relief.
"What happened to Cami?" I ask look back and forth between them. They both give each other a look before Xavier takes both of my hands. I see out of the corner of my eye Nicholas pull up a chair beside us.
"Cami was shot in her shoulder." I feel relief flood through me. "They did surgery to remove it. Once she came to, she was released immediately after threatening the doctors. After which, we watched the survelliance on your home and saw you grab Cami's phone. Cami tracked it and we rescued you."
I nod my head chuckling. I can just picture Cami threatening a poor doctor. I then gulp realizing what I need to ask.
"And Michael?" I ask timidly. Xavier's grip tightening. He takes a deep breath closing his eyes. Nicholas clears his throat and continues for him.
"He's dead. Cami..." He trails off and I nod my head in understanding. He's gone. I lay my head back closing my eyes for a minute. Xavier's vice grip still on my hands.
"It's over sweetheart." I smile while keeping my eyes closed. A happy tear rolling down my cheek. Xavier sees this and leans over hugging me tightly.
"It's over."
