ADRI

There he is, he looks worse than my parents. I don't think he has slept a wink, what in the world happened to my baby.
Behind him I see Keith and Danny looking relieved and happy. I'm happy to see them too.

DC starts walking towards me and my family makes way for him, it's like I'm holding my breath until he finally reaches me then I can breathe again. He looks into my eyes and I smile, that's when I see the tears. I know he must have tried his hardest to control the tears, but he just couldn't hide it any longer. He was crying, my baby was crying because of me. He moves closer to me, touches my hand with one hand and places his other hand on my cheek. By now, I'm also crying.

The image I saw of us and our kids flashes in my head and I smile, " I love you", I say and he nods before he captures his lips in mine.

I forget that my family is in here with us, keith and Danny too, I totally forget and I just kiss him back. This is our moment.
I fought hard for this. Before the kiss can become anymore hotter than it already is I pull away he frowns at me and just gives me a short peck.

"How do you feel?. Did the doctor come in already?. Did he check you out?",DC doesnt even wait for me to answer one as he keeps asking me so many questions at once.
As if on cue, I laugh and Mason laughs, then my mum and dad laugh too.
We obviously know something that they dont. Keith, danny and DC stare at us obvious that they are missing something.
My dad is the first to speak ,"the doctor checked her already. She is perfectly fine. No trace of the poison whatsoever. It's like it never happened", my dad said as my mate stares at me , as if he is calculating something in his head then a look of understanding dawns on him. He immediately stares at Keith and Danny and they nod. "Do it right away", my mate commands them as they leave in a hurry.

"What was that all about?",I ask as he sighs. "It's  a long story", he says I'm about to press him for more when my mum's  voice pipes up "We should get going then. Adrianna needs a change of clothes and we need to shower as well. Since you're here,we know she is in safe hands", mum says as DC smiles. Mum and dad walk over to me. "We will be right back ", dad says as he smiles at me and gives DC a nod and a warm smile.

"You need me to get anything from home sis?", Mason asks as I nod.

"Yes actually. I need a photo. Mum I need grandpa's photo. Anyone he took before he died",I say and mum looks at me like I've grown two heads. "You mean my father?", she asks and I nod with a smile.

"O...kay then. I was thinking you would ask for food since the hospital food sucks but that works too",Mason says with a grin. "Bring me food too please!", I yell as he shakes his head. "Nuh uh. Eat the photo you asked for", he says and I glare at him. "Fine, we will pack food",he says in mock surrender then they leave.

Leaving just me and my mate.

Immediately the door is clicked shut, Daniel captures my lips with his again  and it's pure bliss.

"God, baby, I missed you", he says still kissing my face and my neck.

"I missed you more my love", I say as he blushes. I've never called him that before. I guess dying and coming back has a crazy effect on you.

I still feel like I'm missing something though. How did I end up here?.

That's when I remember everything, Lumi and Kate fighting over Keith, me getting mad and leaving Lumi all alone, me calling Kate but the line going off. And then the black out.

I gently pull away from my mate and he looks at me.

"Where is my best friend?. What happened to Kate and Lumi?", I ask as DC holds my hand as if to reassure me.
