My vision is filled with darkness but the sounds of beeping keeps me from freaking out. I fist the blanket that is covering me. I fight hard aganist the darkness that tries to hold me captive again.

"Lissa." I hear a soft broken whisper. I immediately recognize the voice and try even harder to open my eyes but it's all in vain because the darkness is stronger and fall alseep once again.

******

"Lissa, what you saw is not what it looked like. I know this may sound like the oldest lie in the book but I swear." A voice breaks though to me. Which sounds like Aiden's.

This time I don't decide to fight to open my eyes but rather sit still and listen to his explanation.

"I know you're not awake but when you do wake up because you will, I will explain to you this all over again. You may be upset but I will not let you walk away without listening to me first. Be upset, angry but do not walk away from us." Aiden takes a deep breath before going on, " Days after our honeymoon I began to receive letters. I , at first, didn't take then seriously. I had assume it was related to me and my line of work. I didn't open them nor bother to glance at them. I didn't take them seriously until they became constant. I would read them but they never made sense.

It wasn't until I didn't receive any more and came to learn that they were all connected and they all where about you. I finally told my dad and we were working to stop this. That is why I have been distant from you not because I was having an affair but because I was so worried with trying to protect you that I didn't stop to think about you. I would never, ever cheat on you. I love you. I love you. I think I started living you from the beginning. You singing in my living room. Looking like that is where you belong, where you have always belonged. Stupid, plastic bitch came on to me." Aiden cleared his throat, choking in his own tears. "She was making threats I wasn't going sleep with her. I was going to make her think that but I wasn't I swear, but you came in that moment and everything went to hell."

I tried hard to open my eyes or move my arms to let him know that I believe him and he didn't have to explain but I couldn't.

I heard the door open. " Sir, it's time for you to leave." A kind voice spoke to Aiden.

"Yes. I'll be right out. " I heard the door close.

It was silent for a few seconds before I heard the rustle of the chair indicating that Aiden stood up. His presences looked over me.

"Please wake up. I need to see your beautiful browns eyes. I love you. I need you to wake up so does our daughter and our little bean. Had I know you are pregnant I would have never left you alone or put the house. He's okay, or she. Whatever the sex may be I will love them completely. We are lucky the shot didn't cause any danger to the baby." I smile internally.

Yes. My little bean. I'm trying, baby. I'm trying.

I felt a tender kids in my lips before In was left to the darkness once again.

******

I could have been the middle of the night or early morning I have no idea but I knew that I was finally awake. I blinked a few times to adjust to the light. Much similar to the hospital room I was in a few months away. It was all white.

I layed still in bed, trying to understand what had happen to me the last few days.

I need to have a long talk with my mom. And Gabriel.

I looked for the button to alert the nurse I was awake.

A few minutes later. The door is opended by a older lady.

"Thank the havens you are awake, sweetheart. Your whole family has been sorry sick. Specially that handsome husband of yours and that very pretty baby." She says.

"I'm sorry." I apologize for worrying everyone.

"Oh, baby I don't think you should be apologising at all. Just be happy you are awake." I nod as she continued to check up on me.

Minutes later she is done.

"Well, you are prefect. Your doing just fine and that baby of yours is great too. Congrats. We'll inform your family and they will probably be here on no time.

I nod as she steps out the room and leaves me alone.

I may not a even an hour later when a very disheveled Aiden steps in the room carrying a very excited baby in his arms.

I smile at both my darlings.

Aiden quickly rushed to my side. Showering with kisses all over my face. With whispers of I love you. A very excited Amelia tries to sit on me.

"No princess mommy is very fragile right now." Amelia looks really hurt at not being able to sit on me but lights up when Aiden sits beside me on the bed right between us.

I look deeply into Aiden's eyes. "I love you."

A childlike grins lights up his face before going dim. "Lissa, I have to explain-" I cut him off with a head shake. He looks heartbroken. I giggle before speaking.

"There is no need I know what truly happen and while I wasn't awake I heard everything." I smile up at Aiden.

We shared a few more kisses before he finally sat down. We look into each other's eyes for a period of time before Aiden finally spoke.

"Why didn't you tell me about the baby, sweetheart?" Aiden asks.

I cleared my throat before talking." I was. The day I went to the office In was going to suprise you but instead you surprised me." A wince overcome Aiden's face.

"Lissa-"

I shake my head cutting him off. " I love you and understand while I may not like it. I understand."

"Lord, I fucking love you." I smack Aiden on the arm.

"Don't use that vulgar language." I command.

"Yes, Mrs. Knight." Aiden grins.

We are silent for a moment before I have the nerve to ask.

"Aiden what happen to Zac, Annabelle and that women?" I ask while I wrap a finger in Amelia's hair.

"Zac is dead, Annabelle and that women are in jail." Aiden answered fiercely.

"Who," I clear my throat as my question comes out strangled. "Who killed him?"

Aiden takes a moment to speak almost as if debating whether to tell me.

"Gabriel."

I gasp. Gabriel shot him. Gabriel killed him.

"Oh my god." I shake my head is disbelief.

"Lisa, calm down. Gabirel isn't going to jail and he did nothing wrong." Aiden tried to reason.

"Aiden, how can you say he didn't do anything wrong? He killed someone."

I try to reason with him.

Aiden stands up fustrated. " How can you ask mercy to a man that tries to kill you not once but multiple times. It was either Zac's life or yours. His daughter. He didn't hestiant to pull the triger. " I felt a knot form in my throat.

I laid back on the bed trying to understand everything.

"How did you and Gabriel find us?"

"Would you like me to start from the beginning?" Aiden asks.

I nod. Aiden sighs before gently kissing my lips. I sigh.

"Well after you ran out. I chased you down but you were much faster. I would have gone to a taxi and chased after you but first I had to get the problem out of the building. I ran back up. I have never felt so much anger at someone. I need to get her out. I call security and made sure that she never comes back in my company. I ran to my car to get to you but once I got there you were gone and Amelia was all alone, yelling and crying." Aiden kisses Amelia's cheeks which she responds with grabbing Aiden's locks of hair. "I knew something happen to you. I tried to fucking hard not to panic but fuck I need to hold you. I finally came to understand the meaning of the notes. They were all leading to this. I call my dad, which then called Gabriel. They all came as quickly as possible. My mom and your mom were taking care of Amelia while we tried to figure out what to do." Aiden kisses my hand before going on.

"We knew it had something to do with Zac. We report you missing but 24 hours has even pasta so there wasn't much to do. It was a good thing that Gabriel had friend on the forces. We found your location a few hours later and we went after y'all." Aiden hung his head between his legs. Taking a deep breath he lifted his head. Tears clouding his eyes which cause to me to tear up as well.

"I was already feeling like air was leaving me but when your mom had said that you're pregnant. I felt like I was dying. Not only was your life in danger but our baby was at risk. An innocent that had no blame. A child that I already love. A child we made to together from our love." I lean over Amelia to kiss the top of Aiden's head.

"We sped up the process to find you faster. Once we did we went after you. We weren't suppose to go inside to get you but we couldn't just stay outside waiting. I just couldn't. We all went in different directions to find you. I came upon you tied to that fucking chair. My mistake was being locked out the door had a lock on the outside. I had nothing to break it off with. Right then I saw Gabriel he was right there. I felt a little better but that all went to hell when Zac pulled the trigger at the same time Gabriel did. You both just fell. And I stood on the outside just fucking watching." Aiden let out a jaded breath.

"It's okay. Atleast you were there. I love you." We shared a kiss before a knock on the door broke us apart.

The door opened slowly to my mom and Gabriel.

My mom rushed to my side, wrapping her arms around me. She squeezed me tight. Her broke voice spoke in my ear. "I love you. I would have died if anything happen to you. I'm so sorry I had that man in our lives. For putting you in danger. For being a coward and not leaving him. I'm so sorry." My mom's cries out in apologies.

I squeeze her right back. Shaking my head I respond. "It's not your fault. I don't blame you or hate you. You have been my only family for so long. You have kept me sane in moments when I didn't think I'd survive. I don't blame you because you lived the same hell I did but worst. I know you may think of the what ifs but we can't. I know there wasn't a way to get out without either of us getting hurt or dead. I love you." The pain I've felt all this time comes out. The knot that always persist in my throat finally released we have spoken words of love and forgiveness but never this way. When I have not have spoken to many words but with so much emotion. The place in my heart that was like a dam finally broke and like all the water follow and rushed as if there was no tomorrow.

Aiden's arms came between us taking Amelia. She gave a for at having to leave me. "Come let's leave mommy for a moment we'll be back soon. Daddy hasn't eaten anything and is quite hunger so come on." Aiden picks her up kissing her hair before walking out. Leaving Gabriel, my mom and I alone.

We stay in silence for a moment, staring at each other.

I finally find my voice," I know the truth."

My mom so sad, sickened.

"He told you?" She asks in a shaken voice.

I nod "Everything."

I look over at Gabriel who looks the same as my mom if not worse

"I hate him. I hate him because he chose his hatred over us. I hate him because instead of learning to love me he decided to hate me. I hate him because I yearned for his love when I need it the most. I also pity him. I pity him because he could have had a wonderful life with us had he chosen the right path." My mom's tears streamed down her face. "He loved you like crazy." I whisper.

She nods, "Yes, he did. I loved him too because he was my rock when I need someone too. I loved him but was never in love. I'd hope that he would accept that and we would love happy but he didn't and we are all paying the price."

I hold my mom's hand as she finished wiping her tears. I lean as close as possible to her. I wipe a tear that escapes her.

I finally look at Gabriel. He leans on the wall his body tired. He rubs his eyes with his index finger and thumb but the redness is still there from tears. He steps forward as my mom moves to the side to let him come closer. Now that I know who he is I'm not exactly sure what I'm suppose to act.

"I was a coward." Gabriel started causing me to be startled. "I have been in love with your mother for many years. I met her at medical school where I was giving a presentation. She was- is the most beautiful thing I had seen. From that moment we began talking then dating." He looked up with so much love at my mom.

"I had just gotten out of a relationship. One that didn't mean anything to me but the women I dated didn't want to get out of my life like I wanted her too. She knew what was coming so she got pregnant on purpose. She befriend my mother and father. Making me seem like an uncaring father. We filled their heads with vemon against me. I told your mom about Daniel's mom. She want to break up immediately, to let me be responsible for my son. I was, I would pay child support and be there for him if he were mine. He was. Your mother and I broke up. I feeling the presure of everyone around and the void I felt in my heart because your mother and I broke up was to big. I married her. We remained married for a few years until I couldn't take it anymore. I knew she would never grant me a divorce. I finally caught her cheating, her adultery got me my freedom. She finally got what she wanted, money. She got rid of Daniel and left us." Gabriel stands up and comes closer to me. He grabs my hand, curling his with mine.

"You are one of the greatest things that has ever happen to me. I regret not being there for you but I will now. I will always be there. I will never stop redeeming myself until I have your love and forgivness. You are my daughter and I love you so much." Gabriel wraps his arms around giving me a bear hug. I don't tell him I love him because I can't. While I may feel affection for him, I don't know him that well.

I wrap my arms arund him because now I hope I have the loved of a father I've always wanted.

The door open and comes in the Knight family. Mr. And Mrs. Knight both come and hug me, while Aiden and Amelia retake there place along side me. My mom and Gabriel move to the other side. We all gathered here asking how I am and sharing their love. Here is the family I've always wanted and finally got.
