I wake up to bright lights and the familiar sound of beeping. The sound of a heart monitor in a hospital. The sound which is annoying but I sign that you are still alive.

I blink a couple of times to get used to the brightness and look around the room. It is all white and sterile. Plain and boring. It smells of disinfectant. I see Isaac sitting in the chair on the right side of my bed, holding my hand, sleeping. Kaitlyn is on the chair on the other side of the bed, holding my hand, sleeping. I look down and see that I am wearing one of those horrible hospital gowns. I also notice my slight bump and breathe a sigh of relief.

Isaac stirs and opens his eyes to see me awake. He smiles before embracing me. "You're awake. I was so worried. We all were." He says loudly, which of course wakes Kaitlyn up, who also embraces me.

"I was so worried." Kaitlyn says.

"Are the babies okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, they're fine. What happened?" Isaac asks.

"Um, well you lot were talking about how you wanted to help me raise the babies because they won't have a father, and Lidewij talked about how she was going to move to Indianapolis with Bas so they can help me and the twins. And then I just kept seeing Gus and everything we did together and I just passed out. Where are Lidewij and Bas anyway?" I ask.

"Oh, they went to get something to eat for all of us. We didn't get to finish our meal so they went to get something. How are you feeling?" Kaitlyn asks.

"I'm feeling fine." I say. "Just tired, and hungry. Sorry for ruining the evening." I add.

"You didn't ruin the evening. It's okay. We understand." Isaac says.

We sit and talk for a while about random things.

Twenty minutes later Lidewij and Bas arrive with some bags of food in their hands. When they see that I'm awake Lidewij rushes over and embraces me. "Thank God you're all right. We were so worried. How are you feeling?" Lidewij says.

"I'm fine. I'm just tired and hungry." I say.

"Well, we have plenty of food to go around." She says.

"Do my parents know that I'm in the hospital?" I ask.

"No. Because we're in a different country they couldn't get hold of them, with the time difference and everything. So they decided they wouldn't call them." Isaac says.

"When am I allowed out of here?" I ask.

"They said if you wake up you can leave tomorrow." Isaac says.

"Okay." I say.

We sit around and eat food and talk and laugh about things for hours, until I am too tired to keep my eyes open for not even five minutes. Lidewij and Bas decided to go home and leave us to it. Isaac and Kaitlyn say goodnight to me, I say goodnight to them, and I drift off into a peacefull sleep.
