chapter forty two

She looked over at him with a smile, "I know who you are. She wouldn't stop talking about you while she was at home. Don't even think about apologizing to me and her pappa, you couldn't have planned this." her mother spoke to the section chief.

Tears started pooling in Aaron's eyes for probably the millionth time for the last ten hours, he was honestly surprised that his body still had tears in his body.

"Oh Honey... come here." the mother motioned for him to come closer before she wrapped him up in a comforting hug.

With everyone outside watching the scene it brought tears to their eyes again, before her dad entered the room with a slight clear of his throat, "You must be the guy who occupies my daughter's heart like crazy, huh?" he questioned.

Except Aaron didn't answer him, all he did was just look back at Ellie.

Two hours later everyone was acquainted and waiting for Ellie to just wake up.

Aaron had learned a lot about Ellie and her family in the time they were waiting. Like her dad's name is Antonio and her mother's name is Juliana. She has four adoptive siblings along with a multitude of foster kids staying at her house.

"Daddy!" a little boys voice echoed through the hallway before the little boy ran into Eleanor's room, "Dad why is Eleanor sleeping?" Jack asked his dad.

Aaron leaned over towards his son and picked him up, "She worked really hard today buddy so she needed to get some extra help that's all. Now we have to be quiet or else we'll wake her up." he whispered in his ear watching as Ellie's parents smiled at the boy.

"Hiya buddy! We're Ellie's momma and pappa...What's your name?" Juliana asked the little boy.

Glancing at his dad for a reassuring look, he looked back at the older couple before whispering, "My name is Jack, this is my daddy!", before giving them a little wave.

An intake of breath caught the attention of everyone including the people in the hallway.

**Ellie's pov**

Feeling my body come out of this deep heavy sleep I took a deep intake of breath. The breath went into my lungs and felt like burning coals raging through my body.

Trying to open my eyes I immediately closed them at the burning white light surrounding me.

"Ellie, you're awake!" a familiar little boy's voice flooded my ears. Jack.

Doing my best I opened my eyes and saw the little boy smiling back at me, but what I was really paying attention to was Jack's dad.

"Aa-ron, you're okay." I managed to mutter through my sore and dry throat.

When a cup was placed next to my mouth I turned my head and saw my loving parents sitting next to my bed with tears in their eyes, "Hi Honey... how you feeling?" my dad asked me, leaning forwards and grabbing my other hand.

Feeling tears come into my eyes I pouted at them, "I'm so sorry mamma and pappa..." I tried to say.

Momma shook her head and looked back between me and my pappa, "Don't even apologize baby, you are my baby I have to worry about you. It's my job." she spoke sternly.

Smiling at her before glancing down at the little boy that had been playing with my fingers I gripped his little hand, "Hey little man, how are you doin'?" questioning him while I watch his eyes light up at me talking to him.

"I missed you! Daddy said that you were going somewhere for a long time." Jack spoke while glancing back and forth between me and Aaron.

Looking at Aaron I smiled, "Yea I was buddy... but hopefully I won't have to ever again for a very very long time." speaking directly towards the man that I loved even though I was looking at Jack.

I never wanted to leave these two or the team again.

Ever.
