Chapter sixty three

Sophie walked into the dim lit room, with slow steady steps as she made toward the bed where Marcus was laying down sleeping. He was in a Coma. she had been told, and he wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

Sophie wiped away the tears that was slipping off her cheeks. Trying so hard to not burst into tears. He looked so weak in his sleep and she could tell he would be having nightmares after nightmares.

Who put him in this position. They hadn't even let him see his child before this happened. Would he survive this? Would he?

That wasn't sure yet. She sat by his side on the bed. Placing her hand softly on his cheek. This was the second time this was happening.

His cheek was cold and damp. Like he was sweating.

"Marcus" she whispered gently. She wanted so much to burst into tears but she won't. She needed to be strong.

"Marcus....you....you need to wake up, your child's here. You need to see her" Sophie sobbed.

"I want you to get up and smile at me, scream at me Even. Just let me look at you in the eye again. I miss you so much. So much. Our baby doesn't have a name yet. Won't you like to name her?" The pent up tears she had been trying to hold up all came crashing down and she cried hard. Still trying not to disturb his sleep with her tears.

She heard the sound of the door and she looked back to see Evelina walking in. Carrying her baby in her arms.

"She needs you" Evelina whispered handling over the baby to Sophie who spread out her arms to gently collect the baby.

"Marcus needs me," She told Evelina and looked at the baby. "Your father needs me too."

Evelina took in the scenerio with tears slipping down her cheeks.

"He'll be okay Sophie. Do not worry"

"Will he? Will he truely be Okay? Will he one day carry his baby in his arms and name her?" Sophie asked tearfully.

"Yes.....yes he will" Evelina answered, wiping the tears away from her face and that of Sophie's.

Sophie smiled at her. "Thank you Eve"

Evelina nodded slowly.

"Why don't you place the baby on his chest. So she could feel her father's warmth"Evelina suggested.

That's a good idea, Sophie thought.

With Evelina's help, They gently placed the baby in his chest. After a little whimpering, the baby adjusted to the position and body heat then relaxed thankfully.

Sophie smiled tearfully, the same expression was on Evelina's face too as they watch both father and child getting used to each other even though one was unconscious.

"He'll be okay"Evelina said rubbing Sophie's aching back slowly.

Sophie nodded, and she prayed hard in her mind that he should end up okay truly, for she don't Know what she'll do without him.

"He was shot by Brian, and he also shot Brian though, I think he's suffering a major brain injury that could possibly lead to his death."Ben explained to Sophie later during the day.

"Marcus wouldn't be too Happy about killing his brother...." Sophie said.

"Not when the brother had been trying to kill him too" Elliot answered.

Sophie scoffed at that. That was true though, she needed to know Brian wasn't saint at all.

"I pray he wakes up soon, he really....." Evelina's screamed cut Sophie off at what she's saying.

"He's awake!"

"What?!" Sophie, Ben and Elliot queried surprisingly.

"The boss is awake!" Evelina said again, coming to drag Sophie up and dragging her away from Ben and Elliot.

"Marcus's awake?" Sophie asked still in shock.

Before they could get to the room where he was, he was already at the door.

Sophie stopped dead in her tracks. Staring hard at him like he was some kind of alien.

"Marcus?" She took a step towards him, then stopped again. She stared at him, a mixture of disbelief and surprise filled her face.

He sent her a small smile. And she practically ran into his arms. Almost Knocking him off his feet, if Elliot hadn't quickly helped him regain his stance.

Sophie wouldn't let him go, she burrowed her face into his neck, inhaling his heavenly scent filled with the scent of drips and medicine.

His arm slipped around her waist and he hugged her back.

"I'm fine" He said and when she released him, he asked.

"Where's my baby?"

"Here she is..."Evelina said, she'd gone up to pick the baby when Sophie had been hugging him.

Marcus turned towards Evelina and smiled when he saw her gently handling her his small bundle of joy.

His baby, his descendant, his life.

She was so small and soft and he felt scared he would drop her.

He sent Sophie a look of concern, and she understood him perfectly well.

"You're doing great, you just need to hold her as tightly as you could. Not too tight though" She explained.

He nodded and did exactly as he was told. His baby was awake and she stared up into his eyes. Whimpering and taking a hold of his finger.

He smiled and a tear escaped his eyes, slipping down his cheek. It landed in her cheek. Smiling, he touched her cheek and wiped it away slowly, not wanting to make her cry. Sophie was crying already and Evelina was wiping tears away fro her cheeks.

"She's beautiful" He told Sophie.

"Yes...yeah, she is" Sophie answered going closer to him. Staring at the joy they'd made together.

**** ****

"How's he now and where is Stacy" Marcus asked his men.

"We still haven't gotten where Brian is at the moment but Stacy is out of the country. She disappeared after the incident thinking you've killed Brian and would come after her."

"So you don't Know where he is?"

"Yes boss, but we're still working on it, he's in a comma though. Suffering from a very critical brain damage. It's said that he'll probably spend Five months In Coma."

"Good.....those five month, well use it to make things better and easier for us. When he wakes up, he'll be sent to prison straight away. I'll make him miserable, and he'll regret hurting me or my woman"

Elliot and Ben nodded, clearly not knowing what to say.
