"Are you going to the hospital?" Bella asks me as I went to the car. I end up nodding, leaning against Arthur's car.

"Yes...I didn't go yesterday like I said I would. I was too exhausted - not to mention I was exhausted. It's kicked in to me now what I've done to my hair... I regret it dearly." I snort, shaking my head.

"It seemed like it." She teases me only for me to grin awkwardly. "Also, sorry about Talia. She's being ridiculous considering she's dating me... I knew she liked Arthur, but not this much."

I try to keep myself from rolling my eyes, resting my hand on my stomach. I was happy we didn't have to do the surrogacy. Because if we did it was a way for her to stay in our lives forever...as well as our child's.

"Yeah, I've been known. She hates me even more because I'm holding his child. I think she wanted that honor." I snort as I start the car with the remote.

"She's...I'll talk to her. She's being ridiculous. Arthur never had her in his mind. He fell in love with you as soon as he saw you...I think the same goes for you as well." Bella smirks at me, and I shrug shyly. "Well, I'll let you go. I'll keep watching the twins with Nathan. Tell me how things go."

I nod, getting in the car as she heads back inside. That's when I drive out the garage and begin to head to the hospital he's in.

They requested I come yesterday...but I couldn't. My body practically collapsed yesterday. It was feeling the weight of everything at once and it wouldn't allow me to move.

So I abided and didn't really do much. I ate a lot, but I still am feeling the weight I lost. Arthur would be furious with me if he saw me like this...

I try to not dwell on that. Because I know he won't be happy...if he ever wakes up. It's up to Arthur to press charges against the person who crashed into him, but since he's not dead...the person can't be charged for anything big. Just for drunk driving, but it's worse than that!

If he...doesn't wake up I will make sure the dude never walks free. If he does I will make his life hell- I promise.

That's when I found myself motivated further. I drove faster because I wanted to see him. I'd be fine with him...just lying there. At least I could see him.

What I needed was him. As long as I see him...I've somewhat come to the terms that that'll have to do for now. It's better than him being dead.

Also risking my death too.

I have to be there for the twins though. I've thought extensively and if Arthur dies...they will need me. Not to mention the baby I'm having with him.

Thinking about such things scares me, but I hope it won't come to that. It...it can't come to that. I love him too much.

He truly helps me stay sane...honestly. I'm nothing without him.

Just a shell of my older self, and I refuse to go back to that. Though I know I possibly will...if things turn out to be worse and not...better.

Before I know it I was already parked at the hospital. Walking into the hospital, right into an elevator. My eyes were lowered to the ground, my hands going into my jacket pockets.

I wore a baggy jacket because I didn't want anyone seeing me...noticing how much weight I lost. Not to mention the hair is a huge change.

Once I was off the elevator I started to walk to Arthur's room. Though it was apparent there was something going on.

Too many people were going in and out. I saw a doctor I haven't seen for some time even walking out of there. It had me wonder what was wrong.

He continued to just stand there for some time as if he was waiting for someone. There was this look of bewilderment present...making me become nervous.
