Chapter 289 HOSPITAL 1
It's been four (4) months since Alex got into a coma and for some reason has refused to wake up even if Phillip said he was fine and what's left was the little scratch on his skin. With the bullet and fatal accident he had broken his ribs and according to phill, he might never walk ever again. I wore Leah her pink shirt and jean getting her ready to go see her father since it was weekend.
The triplets, they've all started school and get eager to see their father during weekends. It's been two weeks since they started schooling, though it's been hard taking them to school especially Leah and Kyle who cry and holds my legs when I try to leave.
It takes three to four teachers to get them to leave me, just so I can leave, but I'm happy they're learning. "Mummy, help me with my shoelace." Kyle sauntered into Leah's room with his shoelace wiping the floor. "Michonne will get that done kyle, where's she?" "NO! I don't want her close to me, I want you to touch it and kiss it as always."
At the same time Alex stepped in holding Michonne's hands, he was fully dressed and ready to leave. Lately, he's been one of my favorite kid, he's less troublesome, unlike his siblings. The past few weeks have been quite exhausting for me and our families, this proves I was right. Alex got into trouble with another gang and almost lost his life, I wasn't wrong after all he's a mafia lord and has been hiding his identity for years now.
I know he's told me briefly about himself, but that didn't correspond with what Kendrick said...
After tying Kyle's shoelace, we all stepped out of the mansion and into the car headed for the hospital.

It's almost the end of the year, a time families get together to celebrate their achievements, they have dinner, dance, and merry together in unison. Falcon felt like it was the perfect time to finally introduce his woman to his family and so did she. After his introduction would be hers, and she's ready for it.
A white Maybach arrived at the entrance at the center of the massive yard, close to a water fountain. Both people stepped out of the car, one nervous and the other happy, she could only imagine how his parents would react to the news at hand. They might not accept her now, but she knew with time they would learn to accept her.
Falcon stretched his hands for her to hold, out of all the men she's found, she picked him cause he was modest, he understood her for who she is. He didn't expect her to act like a princess like everyone else, he made her feel so comfortable and let her be who she is. She took his hands letting out a deep silent sigh, "Don't get nervous, I'm sure they'll love you." He smiled for her to return it.
"Welcome back sir and madam." A guard at the door bowed as he pushed the front door open. Mr. and Mrs. Dior, we're already sitted on the couch in the lounge excitedly to meet the girl Falcon has called earlier to tell. They were more than excited to see that their son has finally found happiness and is finally going to forget about that married woman.
They could hear footsteps and awaited their presence in desperation, Falcon stepped into the lounge followed by a familiar figure, she could see the smile falling from their faces at her arrival. "What is this Falcon?" Mrs. Dior howled furiously staring at the girl in disgust as she rose to her feet.
She was trying to keep him away from that family, but he keeps going back there, she knew if she told him the reason she despised them, then he might start up a war with Mr. Wilson, a war he cannot win but will end up losing his life as well as theirs. "What are you talking about? This is my fiancee..." "I know very well who she is, what are you doing with her?"
"Calm down mother, she's the woman I told you about." "I made a mistake accepting who I knew nothing about, I'm not part of your marriage if this girl is your wife." "What are you saying?" Falcon asked in confusion, "There are so many girls in the world Falcon pick one as your wife." Both Mr. and Mrs. Dior walked away.
Falcon was bewildered, but the same was not said when it came to Avery, she knew this would happen and was mentally prepared for it. Her family has hurt them without knowing what the future holds, since her grandma and everyone around her wanted her to be with a man so badly, not minding her choice of love she had no choice but to pick Falcon.
Lucy her ex didn't even want to hear her out after the humiliation she got from them, she's married now to another girl. "You don't have to worry sweetheart I'll talk to them." He pegged her lips trying to calm her down. He still wondered about his mother's issues with the Blacks and why she loathes them so much.
Avery gave a reassuring smile nodding lightly to his words, if his parents told him nothing about what happened, then they did it for a reason she can't tell either.

We all stepped into the private ward which held Alex, hoping for a better result this time. Kendrick and Chan, we're already in there watching him. The triplets rushed in to greet their daddy, struggling to climb his bed quietly and making sure not to touch him as I've instructed, "Hazel, I didn't know you still visited, thought you were divorced now." Kendrick smiled.
"He's my children's father, that's something that cannot change." "You should take care of him, we were leaving anyway." Chan chimed in holding her father by the hands as they both evacuated the ward. We were left alone with Alex finally, I sat next to him just like every other day and every other week since he got here, placing his hands on mine. "It's time to wake up Alex, you don't want to spend the rest of your life in here do you?" He still said nothing to me. I let out a sigh staring at him, and so did the kids before jumping off the bed for their usual plays in the room.
"Make sure not to touch anything Leah." "Yes, momeee." She stretched her lips out raising her head and staring at the ceiling. I know she wasn't listening to me. "Alex electrical stuffs are not for kids don't touch." He retracted his hands after meeting my gaze. Kyle sat on my legs as we both stared at his daddy
"You shouldn't bring the kids here often Hazel, It's a hospital." Mother and grandma walked in, "mama, mama." Leah and the rest greeted, hugging their feet, as they made little sounds. I got up to hug them both, "Not when they cry every day, you know how attached they are to him?" They both nodded. "We brought food, didn't know you were coming today."
"It's alright, maybe you'd take the kids with you on your way out, it's weekend I need to be with him." No matter how much we get to quarrel and fight, no matter how long we get separated, even if I've found out everything about Alex to his dark secrets, I still don't love him less. I still fall more in love with him by the second, I still can't understand why he was so quick to issue the divorce. Yes I guess I was wrong for going against his words, but I was tired of leaving in lies for years, when was he ever going to tell me the truth?
In the last call he had with the kids, it was obvious he was still very much mad at me. Mother and grandma sat on the next chair close to mine as we all stared at Alex hoping he would wake up anytime soon.
The evening soon drew near, and mother and grandma both left with the kids, they've all seen and had fun with their stubborn daddy who refused to wake up and it was time to rest. I got into the bathroom afterward and picked up a bowl filled with water and a towel for his night bath, I should assign a maid to do this, but thinking of it made me insecure and jealous. Alex is mine and should not be touched by another.
After his bath, the doctors and a few nurses stepped in for his food, they injected it through another pipe connected to his stomach. "How's he doctor." I asked, "Mr. Wilson is fine, like we said, it might take him time for him to walk, due to his broken ribs and broken spinal cord, but he's perfectly fine." He smiled and left the room. It's my time to help him out, cause he'd do the same and even more if I was in a similar condition.
"Alex please wake up." My thumb brushed his cheek tenderly and slowly found its way to his soft hair, as I played with it. The real Alex will never let me mess with his hair unless we're having sex, that's my favorite thing, to hold while in the act. I smiled at my thoughts.
"What naughty things are you thinking about?" I grasped, quickly retracting my hands back to my side. "Y... You're awake." I stuttered biting my tongue inwardly, "Alex picked my hands back in his as his thumb drew circles in them, from his reaction I could already guess he didn't lose his memory.
Somehow I wished he did so we could start over again, but I guess there's no running from the truth. The room suddenly turned dead silent as Alex didn't take his eyes off me, I stared at every other thing except those black eyes staring intently at me. I could feel my heart beating fast again. My skin felt hot from his stare, I shouldn't be feeling this way, not for a man that just recovered.
"I should call the doctor to come check you and take these things off." I pointed at the numerous pipes connected to his body. Finally escaping his deadly stare, I stepped out of the room purposely not pressing the emergency button.
