Hope??

“Baby try and get some rest please you are exhausted, you need to keep your strength up for when Gracie wakes up and I can’t lose you either El I need you to keep me sane I need to see some hope in your eyes baby because I promise you it is just a matter of time before grace wakes up, I know this whole thing sucks honey but she will be back to us soon I know she will” I say trying to get through to her make her see, see the hope that I have been holding on to hope that our family, our heart will become full again.

“Lay down with me boo bear” she whispers her voice cracking slightly from not using it. I smile a little she moves over to the back of the couch I pick up a spare pillow and blanket taking it to the couch and placing it down lifting Els head onto before throwing the blanket over her and sliding next to her, I roll on my side and look into Els eyes there is a little flicker of hope back in there.

“Thnkyou boo bear, thnkyou for telling me what I needed to hear, reminding me, I love you baby” she tells me looking me dead in the eye the love I feel from her eyes are overwhelming. She moves and places her head onto my chest

“its ok beautiful I love you so much, now I think it is time that we both get some sleep, I will be right here when you wake up, I’ll always be here. I love you gorgeous girl and don’t stress I swear Grace will be ok” I say to her I kiss her head and hold her tight to me I run my fingers through her hair and softly sing little things to her. Her breathing becomes shallow and she has fallen asleep.

El POV.

I fall asleep on Louis Chest with hope in my heart again, he has been so amazing through all this he has stayed strong why each day I break more and more he begs me to eat but I can’t, he begs me to sleep but I have bad dreams that she doesn’t pull through, it is to hard everything seems to be pulling me down it hurts. But as Louis talks to me on the couch with my head on his lap I found that little light again. I get him to lie with me he holds me tight in his arms, I look him in the eye and thank him, he kisses me head that I placed on his chest and started singing little things running his fingers through my hair. I fall asleep fast, I don’t even get to the chorus. I then had a dream that fills me to the brim with hope

 I see Grace she looks about 11 or 12 she is running in a meadow in a pretty white flowing dress and no shoes, she has a crown of flowers around her head, she looks like an angel, and she looks free like a young kid should. I then heard a little voice it was a little boy Calling out for Gracie to wait, I look in the direction of the little voice I see a little boy he kind of looks like a little Louis he has the same cheeky smile, nose and hair, he has chocolate brown eyes just like mine he looks about 5 years old. I feel like he is my son, our son. He runs to Grace and she scoop him up spinning them in a circle both of them laugh.

“where’s mummy and Daddy Gracie?” the little boy ask Gracie points into the distance I can see two people walking towards them,  a man and an women the women is pushing the pram, they get closer I realize it is me and Louis I watch Grace put the little boy down and hold his hand before running to us them both laughing it is a beautiful sound I follow behind them, the little boy leaps into Louis arms as Grace comes and hugs me ( the other me)  before looking into the pram, I look back at Louis and the little boy who I can now tell is my son he is  throwing him in the air and then tickling him causing my son to laugh hard Grace and I watch on the Louis dangle him upside down by his feet and Il start to tickle him all three of them laughing Gracie Looks down at her feet for a second she looks a little sad but quickly puts a smile on her face looking back up but it doesn’t look real, the three who are laughing don’t seem to notice it makes me a little sad that they don’t see the hurt in her eye, she holds onto the pram I hear a little cry I move and stand behind Grace and see 2 babies in their twins a little boy and a little girl the little girl is crying Gracie takes her out and rocks the baby in her arms soothing her the baby falls asleep.  Louis and me walk over to Grace smiling proudly at her Louis takes the baby and places her in the pram kissing her head
