Chapter 45

I called my parents and Collette early in the morning to tell them the good news. They all came rushing to the hospital and cried when they saw Bella sitting on her bed with Sophie on her lap. The doctor and nurses came soon after and checked Bella's and Sophie's vitals.

" Aaaah, Miss Montreal, finally you are awake. You had us worried back there." The doctor smiled at Bella. My heart wants to burst out of happiness to see her smile finally. She kept glancing at me and give me a sweet smile.

" Thank you, doctor, and thank you for saving me. I never thought I'd be able to see the people I love." She said in a very emotional voice. I gathered her in my arms and kissed her temple.

" Just doing our job, Miss Montreal. So, doctor Jones, you really are a Prince Charming after all. You were able to kiss your girlfriend awake." He joked, and everyone laughed.

" Yes, daddy is my mommy's, Prince Charming. She always tells me when I was little that my daddy is her Prince." Our daughter butted in, and we were surprised by her words.

" Sweetheart, you remembered that? You were only three or four when I said that." Bella asked our little girl, who is sitting on her lap.

" Of course, mommy. When you said my daddy is a Prince and leaves in a faraway castle, I asked God every night to bring him back so that you won't be sad anymore and you will stop crying. He is my daddy, right?" She asked us, and we were all choked at her question. She sure is brilliant for a five-year-old, unlike me, who was so stupid to realize and see the resemblance.

" Oh, baby, how did you know? We never told you." Bella asked our daughter tearfully.

" Because when we saw him at the airport, I saw how you look at him and him to you. And duh, mommy, I look like daddy. You are happy when you see him. You always smile." She answered her mother, and everyone laughs at our red faces. I took her from Bella's lap and hugged her to me. I kissed her repeatedly and teared up.

" Oh, my sweet girl, I am so sorry. Daddy was so dumb to realize it sooner. Mommy didn't tell me you existed, so I didn't know, but that is all in the past. I am here now, and I will take care of you and mommy, okay? I love you both so much. You are my world now." I told her in a broken voice.

I felt Bella's arms around my waist and kissed my cheek. Everyone in the room seemed to be affected by the situation; hence, everyone sniffed and wiped their eyes.

" We are so happy you are finally together, son. So very happy." My mom said, crying.

" Alright, Miss Montreal, we'll keep you here for a few days, and then if your test results come out okay, we will send you home. I'll leave you all to your happy reunion, and Miss Montreal, welcome back." The Doctor said before going out of the room.

" Bella, I swear if you didn't wake up, Todd would curse you for eternity," Collette told Bella, glaring happily at her.

" What? Why? What did I do?" Bella asked in confusion.

" Because the day you were in a coma, I declared that I would not marry him unless you wake up. So he was so agitated after. We moved the wedding day indefinitely, depending on when you are going to wake up." She announced, Bella gasped, and we all laughed and nodded at her to tell her it's true.

" You crazy girl! What if I didn't wake up?! Are you gonna let Todd wait forever?" She scolded Collette and looked at Todd apologetically.

" I would, Bella. I'd be crazy to let this equally crazy girl out of my hand." Todd answered sincerely with a smile and kissed my sister. I am so glad they found each other. Only Todd was crazy enough to tolerate my sister's weird personality.

" Awww, that is so sweet, Todd, thank you. And I am so sorry your wedding is delayed because of me." My darling girl apologized to them with a sad smile.

" What are you talking about, Bella? We can't celebrate and be happy while you are lying here in the hospital. I will not walk down that aisle without my maid of honor." Collette told her with a voice full of indignation.

" Alright, kids, let's leave Bella to rest again, but please do wake up this time, hon, okay?" My dad announced and joked at Bella, which made her and everyone laugh. Our little Angel is lying in her mother's lap, sleeping.

" Yeah, we have to get to the wedding planner as well and set a date for the wedding again. We have to call the florist, the chef for our cake, the caterer, oh and everyone else. I am so happy you are finally back with us, Bels. You really scared the heck out of me." My sister Collette said and went to hug Bella.

" I am so happy to have you back, Bels. I wouldn't know what I'd do without you." She added and hugged Bella a bit tighter.

" Thanks, Cols. I am just thankful I was given a second chance in life. I am so happy to see all of you again." Bella answered tearfully.

" We have to go too, son. I have to help your sister with the wedding. Call us if you need anything, alright? Bella, sweetheart, so good to have you back. We were so scared. We thought we're going to lose you. I've never seen my son so devastated, so lost when you were in a coma." My mom hugged Bella too and kissed her cheek. Then, my dad followed and kissed Bella too.

" We have to go, son, but we'll be back later and bring you food, okay?" My dad said and hugged me.

" Thanks, Dad," I answered him, then looked at Collette and Todd.

" Take care, guys, and thank you. Sorry I won't be of much help to your preparations." I told them.

" No worries, bro. I know you wouldn't waste time away from your family. Take care of Bella and Sophie. We'll handle the wedding." My sister smiled then they all went out the door.

" Liam, Bella, since Sophie is asleep, I'll go home for a while and get some change of clothes and bring back the dirty ones. I'll be back before lunch, okay?" Aunt Agnes said, and we both agreed.

" It's okay, mom. Take a nap for a while. Liam and I will take care of Sophie. Be careful, mom, and I love you." Bella said, smiling at her mother. Aunt Agnes approached her bed and kissed her head.

" I love you, too, Hon. I am so grateful you came back to us. I can't lose you too, Bella, I just can't." Aunt Agnes cried on Bella's shoulder, and Bella was getting emotional too.

After the scare we all went through these past few days, it made me realize how important it is to tell that someone you love how much you love them. This is where we start celebrating life.
