I felt wet on my hand. Brian had been crying all night or all day, I didn’t know the time exactly but it made my heart broke. I don’t want to hear him cry. Time passed as he was telling me his tour stories and then suddenly he went quiet. I want to touch him so much that I can’t bear being left alone in the dark anymore.

I heard the TV was on and chaos was on it so I forced myself to move. Come on, Addie you can do it! I pushed and pushed harder, felt like something was pinning me down and forbidding me from getting up.

I saw a blurry light and the fast movement that go along with it. I fluttered my heavy eyelids, and realized that it was the image from the TV. The first image I saw was Scarlet Johansson wearing black tights, with red flaming hair and she was jumping from point to point doing some action stuff. I forced my eyes to glance down and saw Brian was sleeping with his head rested on my belly. His fingers tangled loosely around mine as his mouth apart just a little bit.

“Br…” I tried to call but my voice was stuck. I tried again and again but failed everytime. This time I tried moving my fingers but God knows it was a fucking challenge for me. After being in the dark and numbness for so long, I didn’t have the strength to even move a muscle. But I tried and I succeeded in moving my index finger, poking his palm.

Brian immediately jolted awake.

“Addie?! Addie! You’re..you’re awake!! Oh my God! Thank God! Addie! I missed you so much baby…why do you have to sleep so long?”

He rushed to pull me into an embrace and I was left buried in his broad chest. I lost my sense of smell but I bet he smelled good, like he always does. He kissed my face repeatedly and I was just too weak to respond anything.

“Addie, baby. I thought I was going to die from missing you so much.” He cried, and I felt wet on my forehead.

“Brian..” I croaked. This time my voice managed to escape through my throat.

“Yes, darling?”

I lifted my hand and pointed to the TV with difficulty. “That…movie…you wanted…to see. It’s..on TV.”

Brian looked baffled and blinked at me. He glanced towards the TV and laughed aloud.

“It’s amazing that you still remember.” He said, kissing my forehead again. “But no, I don’t want to see anything except you and our daughter.”

I darted my eyes down to my stomach. It’s bulging, but not too much. How can another person growing inside me when I was unconscious the whole time?

“It’s a miracle.” Brian said, as though he can read my mind with his palm landed on my belly and rubbing it softly.

“I’m gonna call the doctor. Don’t you dare go back to sleep, okay?” he kissed me softly on the lips and I wanted to return his kiss but I couldn’t. I’m too weak. He parted and left me for a while only to come back with a set of running doctor and nurses behind him.

“Ms Wayne, welcome back. How are you feeling?”

I nodded weakly considering my voice was limited at the time. He did some regular checkup on me and smiled in the end.

“You’re in a great condition. But we might have to run some tests just to be sure. In the mean time, try not to move so much and you can start eating. Your baby needs a lot of nutrition.”

I nodded again, what else can I do? After a few advises from the doctor, Brian finally said thanks and led them out of the room. He turned back to me and I can clearly see his face now. He looked worn out and exhausted. I gathered my energy to reach for him and he helped by getting closer to me and grabbed my hands until my palms cupped his cheek together.

“I’m sorry..”

“Hey, what? Don’t be. I‘m the one supposed to be sorry. I wasn’t able to protect you when it happened. You’ve done nothing wrong okay?”

I gave him a small smile and felt heavy on my eyelids. “I’m sleepy..”

“That’s probably because of the drug they gave you. To avoid you from feeling any pain.”

“Brian..?”

“Hm?”

“I love you.”

I didn’t hear or see anything after that as I was drifted off to a heavy slumber and felt my hand dropped to my side.

“Brian can you put the carrot aside? I don’t want them.”

He rolled his eyes but suppressed a smile across his thin lips. “What are you talking about? Carrots are good for the eyes. I want Adrian to have perfect eyesight, so eat up.”

She pouted, but eventually gave in and opened her mouth to let Brian feed her the chicken porridge which believe it or not, cooked by him.

“Who says you can’t cook?”

“Me.”

She laughed, and Brian shoved a spoonful again. “This is really good.”

“Well, yeah. I followed a fucking recipe book. I don’t know what the hell I was doing. But it looked pretty much the same as the picture, so.”

She laughed again and tried to chomp down the carrot. She didn’t know why these past couple of weeks she became so picky when it comes to food. The worst is over and now she had moved to a regular ward and felt healthier when she started to eat real food instead of IV fluid.

Brian had been back and forth from his shows and here, but now the band had halted all tours and shows to give time for Brian to regain his composure.

“All finished?”

She nodded brightly and made him chuckled.

“I’ll be right back.”

“Where are you going?”

Brian stopped in his turn when Addie grabbed the hem of his tshirt. “To get you a dessert.”

“Oh Brian you don’t have to. Just, sit here with me.”

He smirked and squeezed her hand tightly before leaning down to kiss her lips. He inhaled all of her breath and before she could open access, he pulled away.

“I’ll be right back baby.”

He left her alone, wondering about almost everything. Lately Brian had been avoiding the topic about her sniper and when the guys came to visit, they never brought Valary over. She wondered about that too. Her dad had gone back to Florida just after she was transferred to regular ward and she was grateful that he can actually spent his precious time to visit his own daughter.

A few moments later Brian came back with a grin plastered on his face and his eyebrows cocked seductively. He held both of his arms behind his back and walked towards her in big slow teasing steps. Addie bit her lip frowned at him.

“What’s that you have in your hand..?” she asked suspiciously.

“Do you remember this?”

Brian brought out a cup of chocolate Ben & Jerry’s ice cream from his back and Addie blushed at the sight of it. It brought back so many memories, both beautiful and sad.

“Do you think we could…relive those moments?”

“Brian, we are in a freaking hospital.”

“So what? I locked the door.”

Addie stared at him with her mouth agape. Her newly healed heart was beating as fast as ever that it showed on the heart monitor. Brian glanced at it and smirked cockily.

“Nervous now, are we?”

“No I’m not! I just…I’ve been out for so long and I haven’t..”

“Shh…it’s okay. Don’t get too worked up. You just healed.”

His hand landed on her face and caressed her cheek softly with his thumb. With his brown eyes traveled wildly upon her, she couldn’t slow down the beats until Brian finally pulled apart and started to unwrap the ice cream cup.

“Open your mouth.”

She obeyed, after the heart monitor showed her pulse went back to normal. Brian scooped a tiny spoonful of the chocolate ice cream and feed into her mouth. Not even a second after that, he caught her off guard by taking her lips fully with his own open mouth and conquered her, tasting the ice cream together.

The heart monitor beeped fast, as fast as his hand roamed down to her chest and slid in under her pale green hospital gown. She moaned when he squeezed her left breast and brushed his fingertips on her nipple.

“I don’t think I can handle this, Brian.” she parted, panting and trying to reach for air.

“Right. Nevermind. I can wait.” He kissed her deeply again and pulled away, straightening her exposed gown while at it.

“Do you want to finish this?” he asked, holding up the ice cream.

“Oh yes. Give me.”

He smiled and gave away the ice cream cup, while he watched her scooped one spoonful after another.

“Finished?” he asked and she nodded, wiping off her mouth. Brian took the empty ice cream cup from her hand and tossed it away in the trash.

“Do you want to take a walk in the park?”

“Looks like it’s about to rain.”

“Nahh. Come on. Let’s go.”

Brian set up a wheelchair before her and helped her hop on to it. He tied her hair into a ponytail before pushing her off to the elevator nearby.

---

He’s been sweet to me all day today. He cooked for me, buy me a dessert, kissing me lovingly but I can’t give him what he needs, yet. My heart still in a fragile condition that I can’t be anxious too much or I will explode. But that’s the thing. Being near him, receiving his kiss and his sweet words, I will always be anxious.

“Hey baby, I gotta stop by somewhere real quick, you stay here for a bit okay?”

Even before I could answer he left me in the hospital lobby, in front of a flat screen TV, showing boring advertisements of healthy lifestyles. I can’t help but forced to be here in this wheelchair because I can’t walk properly yet.

Suddenly the screen showed a music video of a song – a song I adore so much because it was a song my dad used to play to my mom using piano. It was a classic Elvis Presley song but this time it was performed by Michael Buble.

Wise men say, only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
If I can’t help falling in love with you

The song went smoothly to my ears and brought back so many memories of my childhood before mom died. Dad changed to a whole other person after that.

Out of nowhere, I felt a kiss planted on my head and I knew immediately that it was Brian. I smiled, but then suddenly a bouquet of red roses appeared in front of me. I gasped, and froze looking at them.

When I finally took the roses in my hand, Brian stepped in front of me and I looked up, curiously.

“I was going to wait until you get discharged from here but I can’t help it anymore.” He said. Oh my God. What is this? What is he up to?

He kneeled down in front of me and I can’t help but clamped my mouth shut with my hand. I heard a few gasps from around me and I realized we were being watched by patients, visitors and hospital workers that lingered around the lobby.

“Addie, will you marry me and spend the rest of your life with me? Because I can’t help but fall in love with you.”

The song in the TV played along like it was meant to be. Was it really??

“Yes. Yes I will Brian.”

The whole crowd around us clapped and yelled a few cheers, and I can’t stop my tears when Brian unhooked his chain necklace from his neck and leaned over to me. He clasped the necklace around me and kissed my forehead long.

“Thank you, baby. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

I chuckled and he went down to kiss my lips as I ran my fingers to the locket. I pulled apart to have a look at it. There was a ring attached to it, white gold with a shape of a crown studded with white diamonds in the middle of it. Oh my God I fucking love it.

“You will forever wear the crown in my heart, Addie.”

“Oh Brian, it’s beautiful. I love it. I really love it! I love you!”

“I love you too.” He chuckled and kissed me softly again. “This time, your dad is my accomplice.”

I turned in my chair, but it was pretty hard so Brian spun my wheelchair around, and I saw my dad was standing there, with a wide grin on his face. My tears went down like a waterfall. He went over and hugged me and that was when I realized everybody was there - Matt, Arin, Zacky, Johnny, Lacey, Gena, McKenna, Brian Sr, Suzy, Andy – everyone. Except for Valary. And Michelle.

“And also, the nice nurse, Kimmie.”

I saw a petite nurse, with short blonde hair and cute adorable face was waving at me. I waved back, holding my tears.

They murmured congratulations to us and I’ve never been this happy before in my life. Brian being by my side, safely, and our daughter inside me, waiting to see the world and become as awesome as her dad.

I just hope this happiness will last forever.

---

“Hey Brian, congrats. It’s about time you pop the question.”

“Thanks man.” Brian pulled Andy into a hug and patted his back a few times before he drew apart. They were both looking at the same woman right now and both having the same thoughts.

“Still haven’t told her about it?”

“She doesn’t have a clue.”

“Luckily your cheque is anonymous.”

“And useless. I can’t access that much money. Besides, it’s in her account, not mine.”

They stared at Addie who was happily talking with Lacey and Gena. Not a single worry crept on her face. And both Brian and Andy wanted it to stay that way.
