His head bolts upright and his eyes locked on hers. "Get her doctor now." He said to the nurse and she ran from the room. "Hi kitten, oh thank you Lord for bringing her back to us. Shh don't try to talk, it's alright, you're going to be fine kitten." He said softly.
"It was him, her Indian prince, it wasn't a dream, it was real, it was all real but what was wrong with her? Why couldn't she move?
"It's so wonderful to see your beautiful brown eyes again, I love you so much." He keeps whispering to her. "Oh thank God." The doctor breathes with relief. "Let me examine you." She said standing next to the Indian prince who couldn't stop touching her. He then whispers to her that he would be right back, then runs from the room.
A few minutes later he runs back in. "How's she?" He asks eagerly. "She's a little disoriented but she'll be fine in a few days. She'll still be monitored round the clock so don't worry. I'll check back in a little while." The doctor said making a note on her pad before turning to leave. "Welcome back Janice." She said warmly before leaving.
Ty sat beside her and played with her plaits. Her smile was weak as she slowly reached over and touch his arms as the purest expression of love she had ever seen showed in his brown eyes.
She swallowed hard, trying to reduce the sandy roughness that was still in her throat. "Wa…pl." She whispers. "Oh shit water, right, sorry, of course, you need water." He said grabbing a bottle from the table and putting it in her mouth and telling her to take small sips.
After a few sips, she cleared her throat and tried again but her voice was barely a hoarse whisper. "Wha...hap…to …me?" She stuttered out. "There was a complication after you had our son." He said still massaging her fingers. "Ou….son?" she asks confused. "Le….chil?" she asks.
"No, our son Tyrique." He said.
"I…had…a….chil…Le….ons….child." She said. "Yes you had a child for Leon, Faith, my mom is on the way with her right now." He said. "Wher…e's Leon?" She asks in panic, tears running down her cheeks.
"Hey shh it's okay, you're a bit confused right now but you'll be fine, look at me, you're safe. Just take a deep breath and relax." She did and he smiles. "Alright, now do you know who I am?" "My…hus…band." "Yes I am, do you know my name?" "Ty….Ty…."
"Shh, Tyler and I love you very much, now relax breathe, and let me fill you in on a few things." He said softly. "Leon is dead, I'll fill you in on how later, he'll never hurt you again. You're now my wife, Faith is now our daughter and you gave birth to our son Tyrique four weeks and four days ago." He pause and gave her a little more water then continues.
"There was a complication after you gave birth and you've been unconscious ever since. It's now three-thirty in the morning of the fifth day and I'm so happy and grateful that you're awake." "Where's…my…son?" she ask her voice so low he could hardly hear her.
"He was born prematurely like his dad so he's now in the NICU but he's a lot stronger than he was a few weeks ago and you'll be able to see him soon." He said kissing her cheek.
"So none of it was a dream, it was all real, this handsome man was really her husband, she had a son and a daughter and the horrible monster was dead, thank God for that.
The following day he was showing her a video of her son in the NICU when she looks him straight in the eyes. "What?" He asks taken aback by her intense look. "What are you not telling me?" she asks. "What do you mean?" "You're keeping something from me." She states. "Kitten…I …" "Tell me please, I need to know, please don't keep secrets from me." She pleads.
"I just didn't want to alarm you or anything, I was waiting until you were stronger." He said looking away from her. "Baby, look at me, what is it?" She asks. "Kitten…." "It can't be that bad, can it baby?" She asks. "It is kitten." He said sadly.
"Tell me." She said squeezing his hand. "After they performed the C Section you…um…you flatlined for about five minutes, you had no pulse…and I thought I had lost….you." He said taking a deep shaky breath.
"I died?" She asks her eyes wide. "For a few minutes yes." He said nodding his head. "But then God brought you back to us and I'm so grateful for his mercy towards us." He said and she could see tears in his eyes. "I'm grateful to be back." She smiles up at him. "I love you, Ty." "I love you too my sweet kitten."
