Falling(Wilbur Soot) 2

8) i can't unpack the baggage you left

"Anna?" Will's head rose as soon as he heard the familiar nickname I gave him.

"Hi." My voice was hoarse and cracking.

"Anna." Wilbur began to cry as his arms consumed me in a hug.

"You're awake!" Wilbur's mother came in moments later to find her son and his fiancé, both awake this time.

After being given a glass of water and the doctor came in to speak with us, I decided to point out the obvious.

"How far along am I?" I asked looking down at my belly noticing how much bigger it was since the accident.

"28 weeks." Kelly spoke before Will could answer.

"Jesus. I was out for how long then..a month and a half?" I closed my eyes but immediately opened them afraid that I would be stuck in the coma again.

"If you're worried about the wedding, it's completely fine. I was thinking we could get married here and then have a small ceremony back home with our friends." He said while holding my hand gently.

"I'm sorry I was asleep for that long." I said sadly.

"It's not your fault. The driver that hit us was high on drugs apparently." Wilbur explained.

"Your parents should be flying in today."
Kelly spoke once more.

"Perfect. We can get married when they get here." I looked up at Will seeing how happy he was.

"In a hospital?" Kelly gasped.

"Yeah. It doesn't matter where I get married. As long as it's to you." I reached up and rested my hand on his cheek. He melted into it perfectly.

"We could both use showers though." Will chuckled. I nodded in agreement. Kelly excitedly left to find some last minute arrangements for the room we were in so it looked decent. Will stared into my eyes longingly before finally speaking.

"You have no idea how long I've waited to see your beautiful eyes." He presses his lips against my hand.

"A month and a half?" I tried my hardest to laugh but ended up coughing.

"Still a smart ass." He stated.

"You missed my smart ass."

The two of us got showers, although I required more help due to the fact that I haven't walked since the accident. My legs were weak but I was determined to get a damn shower. It was quite unfortunate how the events had begun to play out, but I would be marrying the love of my life today. Kelly eventually came back with a few decorations, but more importantly she was holding a white dress. It was nothing like the wedding gown I had initially bought, but it was beautiful.

"Anna. I wish I could've spent more time getting to know you, but from what I do know, my son loves you. He's mad for you and I don't think anyone could come between that. This was my dress from our wedding..well we more so eloped. I'm glad I can pass it off to such a beautiful and wonderful girl." Kelly was practically in tears at this point.

"I appreciate this so much. I'm glad I get to have a mother-in-law as kind and loving as you." We embraced each other momentarily before my parents entered the room.

"Anna." They embraced me lovingly making sure to not squeeze too hard.

Eventually Wilbur and his father joined us in the room along with an officiate. I noted that he already looked ten times better with a fresh haircut and overall smelling better.

"Could I have a moment with Anna alone real quick?" Wilbur asked nervously.

Everyone willingly left the room until it was the two of us.

"Help me get this on, love." I asked staring at the dress his mother just bestowed upon me.

"Of course."

The dress barely fit over my baby bump as wilbur helped me get into it.

"Do I look pretty?" I asked as he helped me stand up.

"You're always pretty."

"I wish I could say I missed you, but it felt as though I just took a really long nap." I smiled sadly at the man I was about to marry.

"It's okay. I'm just glad you're awake now." He pulled me in for a hug.

"I fucking love you." Wilbur said after a few silent seconds.

"I sure hope so. I love you too."

Eventually the rest of the family joined us in the slightly small room but it was perfect nonetheless. Kelly had managed to make it look a little more decent.

"Do you, Anastasia, take this man to be your husband?"

I stared at Wilbur. He looked down at me, even more than usual seeing as I couldn't quite stand up without growing weary. This man is about to be my husband. He's stuck with me forever. He's my best friend. He's my everything and more.

"I do."

Dress is from the cover of ifly btw :)
