I woke up feeling sick again. I threw my covers off me and ran to the bathroom. When I got to the toilet, nothing happened. I just sat there, un sure. A few moment later Hunter ran in asking what was wrong.

"I'm not sure.." I told him, my eyes glued to my hands. He knelt down and rubbed my back.

"Well I'm here." he said, to try and comfort me. It felt really good. I felt a tear fall down my cheek, not knowing why. Hunter saw it though. "Belle, what's wrong?" he asked. I wiped it away.

"I'm not sure what's going on. Nothing feels right." I finally told him. He wasn't sure what to say, and neither did I. He got up, and extended his hand. I took it and he helped me up.

"How about we visit Oliver." he suggested. I nodded, finally looking in his eyes. "It's ok, you're fine. I'm not going any where, I'm here." he told me. I nodded again, and then hugged him. I stayed in his embrace, until he picked me up and swung me over his shoulder an carried me out of the room. I was laughing, wondering if he ever done this before.

•Hunters P.O.V•

She changed and met me in the kitchen where I had our coffee. While we got in the car, I remembered what the doctor said... About Belly resting... But I really didn't care. We drove to the hospital, talking about nothing. When we got their she was so excited. We greeted the girl behind the counter again and she gave us a card to get in the room. When we got to the room, I opened the door to see him. Belle rushed over, picking him up out of his crib. She kissed his head, and held him with her. As she sat down on the bed, I joined her. She looked into his big blue eyes, while he looked back. It was so good to see my family together again. A nurse walked in and greeted us.

"Dr. Brown will be in with some good news shortly!" she told us, handing us each a glass of water. Belle took her and took a small sip. I nodded, waiting to hear the news. She left after that.

"I love his hair." she said, running her fingers threw it, very gently. I smiled down at him. He was so cute. The doctor came in a good 6 minutes after that. He came and sat down in front of us.

"I see you couldn't keep her home." he laughed. She laughed too, but I just grinned. Its her son too.. Of course she wants to see him. "Well I got some good news. Oliver has been doing great, and is very healthy. So we think he can come home with y'all next week." he smiled down at Car.

"Omg that's wonderful! Thank you." belle said. She kissed Oliver again, and held him closer. The doctor left shortly after that, and Belle finally handed him over to me. I held him while she took a picture. She sent a mass message to the family and friends, sharing the wonderful news. She was so happy.

A couple hours passed until we both got hungry. We said goodbye to Car, and each gave him kisses. Belle gave him a race car sticker and stuck it on his crib. She laughed at it when the nurse came in and complimented on it. She came walking back to me and I put my arm around her, walking out of the room. She hugged my waist while we walked down the halls. We got back to the car, but something triggered Belle that she wanted to drive. I let her since everything is near the hospital, so I knew nothing would happen. We drove to China Moon and ordered take out. While she ordered the food, I folded the back seats of the car for us to sit on. She came walking back with our meals, and she sat in the passengers seat.

"I have a idea, you just gotta trust me." I told her, kissing her nose. She nodded, smiling. I drove to our secret spot before the accident, and opened the trunk. I turned to her. "Close your eyes." I told her. She did so and I got out of my seat and walked over to her. I opened her door and scooped her up. She laughed, keeping her eyes shut. I walked to the back of the car and set her down on the folded down seats in the trunk. She tried to peek. "Keep them closed." I teased, she laughed. I ran back to the front of the car and got the food and drinks. When I got back to her I set them all in place and sat next to her. "Ok.. Open" I told her. She opened and her mouth dropped. What she saw was a trees and mountains and if you really squeezed your eyes you would see the lake in the far distance. Her dropped mouth slowly turned into a smile. She turned her head over to me, looking into my eyes.

"It's beautiful." she said. I smiled into her eyes, happy to see her happy. She leaned in close and kissed me. If you know what it feels like to have your heart beat out of your chest, thats what I was feeling. We eat our meals, talking about Oliver and how we can't wait to bring him home.

"I love you Hunter." she whispered, laying her head into my lap, looking into my eyes. I ran my fingers through her hair, looking back into her eyes.

"I love you too Belle." I told her. I reached behind me and grabbed a torn up/beaten up journal and handed it to her. She looked at the cover while I explained. "The past 2 months have been horrible without your love. I've never cried so much in front of my family ... Or even myself like I have these past months. I've been going crazy. Every day I written in this book, so that when you'd wake, you can see how horrible it's been. It's all torn and bent because I've thrown it, and smacked it down on things because I was so upset. I just thought you'd like to see." I told her. She leaned up and rested her head on my shoulder, dangling her legs off the edge of the car. She read each page, either wiping tears away or covering her mouth. She looked at each page, feeling the corners. When she finished, she turned to me. She looked me in the eyes, with tears full in them. I wiped some of the dripping ones.

"I can't even imagine." she told me. I smiled at her.

"I have your necklace still in my car door, want me to get it?" I asked her. She nodded. I walked to the front, cupping the necklace in my hands and whispering to myself, "Please work." as I came back to her, I pulled her hair to the side and placed it on her neck. She put her hand on the cross of the necklace. It was the one that was my great grandmothers. She took a big breath, still clinging the cross. She quietly whispered to me.. "Kiss me." I put my hand on her cheek, kissing her for as long as I could, praying it would work. When I let go, and took her hand off the cross and smiled, still having her eyes closed. She whispered,

"I remember." smiling so big. I felt my heart skip beats, feeling my knees buckle. It worked.
