Fin

Chapter 23: Memories

Fin's POV

The next few days went by in such a blur. Between the twins and Laura I had my hands full. Doctors were constantly coming and going checking on all three of them giving me updates. Once the twins were cleared from the NICU I had them moved into Laura's room. The doctors suggested having me hold them next to her in hopes of helping her wake up. It had been four days and there were still no signs of her waking up.

Everyone took turns visiting Laura and helping me with the twins. It was quiet a relief to have some help otherwise I would've probably forgotten to eat, sleep and shower. I very rarely left Laura's side in fear of her waking up and me not being there. On the fifth day the doctors suggested we try and remove her breathing tube to see if she could breath on her own. I was absolutely terrified but they kept assuring me she would be safe.

They had me wait in the lobby while the twins went to the nursery. Thankfully Monkey, Anna and Nico were waiting there for support. We had been waiting for about an hour before Steven came to get us.

"You guys can come back now. We successfully removed the tube and she is breathing on her own. She still hasn't woken up but it could still be hours or days before she shows any signs of waking up." He told us as we followed him back to her room.

They stayed for a while until Anna had to go to her appointment and Nico had to go on patrol. It was much better seeing her without the tube in her throat and it put me slightly at ease. "Come on Mia Bella I need you to wake up now. The twins need you to wake up. We are all waiting for you and I miss those ocean blue eyes of yours." I spoke softly while stroking her hair.

Two days later I was in the nursery giving the twins a sponge bath when all of a sudden the doctors started rushing down the hallway toward Laura's room. I quickly called a nurse in to watch the twins as I ran out and down the hall after them. They were blocking her door and shouting orders around. Her heart rate monitor was beeping like crazy and they wouldn't let me in.

"What is going on? Laura!! Let me in!" I shouted as four guys grabbed me and were dragging me away from her room.

"Fin I need you to calm down! Everything will be alright we just need to work so please calm down." Steven said as he rushed back into her room.

The four guys escorted me outside as I began losing my shit. Was I going to lose her for good? Was my last memory of her going to be of her laying in a hospital bed? Were our children never going to be able to meet their mother?

I took off running toward the harbor and dove into the water. I needed to clear my head and shifting and swimming was the only way I knew how to without becoming destructive.

Laura's POV

Everything was dark but I could hear the machines beeping. I felt like I was watching everything from the outside. I heard a soothing male voice talking to the doctors and I could feel his heart breaking at the sight of me laying in the hospital bed. I tried so hard to scream or move but I couldn't. It was like someone was holding me down and refused to let up.

My heart fluttered at the sound of the babies crying when a man and the doctors brought them in. My heart swelled even more as I listened to how the man described them to me. I felt the need to wake up and be with them, I just had too.

The days came and went as did everyone. I heard a couple called Monkey and Anna telling me how they were having a boy and they were super excited. I heard a man named Steven talking about a girl named Bella and how happy they were and how well his sister Claire was doing with school.

I heard every word everyone said but the most heartbreaking thing was listening to that familiar voice. He would sit there and tell me all about our babies and all of our memories together. Memories that I couldn't remember for some reason. He would cry at night until he fell asleep holding my hand. I kept trying to wake up I would scream, kick and punch but nothing would happen. I wanted to give up but I knew I couldn't I had a feeling that I needed to get back to him and those babies.
