Over Him... (Sort Of)

CHRIS POV

It's been six weeks. Six whole weeks. Jada was still in her coma. I was trying to be hopeful but at this point it was getting hard. Sitting at her bedside everyday.

Her father was with her at the moment so I came home to relax and shower. Smelling Jada all throughout this house. I miss her. Her sassy attitude. Her dimples when she was really happy.

My phone gong off interrupted my thought "hello?".

"Chris?! She's awake!" Her father said. Ending the call I raced out the door and to the hospital. Running inside and to her room. I had to see it for myself. Opening her room door I saw her sitting up. My heart melted... she glanced at me and we caught each other's stare.

Nothing was said.

Instead I ran to her taking her face in my hands, examining her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes "it's okay I'm here". Hugging her as she cried in my chest.

"Shh I'm here! Always been here" I whispered.

Her father gave us some privacy. Jada sat on the bed "how long was I?".

"Six weeks" I answered.

"Really? It felt a lot shorter than that" she said.

"I'm so happy you are awake" I smiled.

"How's Gianna?" She asked.

"She's okay" I answered.

She nodded "I saw my mom. She's been with me this whole time while I was in here".

"She took care of you... and I thank her for that" I said.

Jada smiled "it felt nice... to be with her. She even spoke about a son I lost".

Not sure if I wanted her to go through the emotion of losing a baby. But I couldn't lie to her.

I nodded "you miscarried. Due to the trauma of what happened".

She looked down "oh". Joining her on the bed "but it wasn't your fault. You didn't know".

Laying her head on my shoulder "sorry".

The doctor came in "welcome back! How do you feel?".

Jada smiled "I feel okay just a little confused".

The doctor nodded "as expected. I just need for you to rest. Don't push yourself too much".

"Don't worry doc. She will" I said.

"We will still need to keep you here for a couple of days for observation... so get comfortable" the doctor said.

Jada turned to me "I want to go home".

"I know you do but let's follow the doctors orders and before you know it you'll be home" I said.

A week later I got the okay to take Jada home. She was a little light on her feet so I made sure to be behind her when she walked. Once we reached the house my mom was there with Gianna. Opening the door Jada jumped back "what the hell?".

I smiled "the balloons are for you".

Gianna popped a balloon which caused Jada to freak out. Holding her "it's okay".

She looked at me and smiled "sorry".

"Nothing to be sorry about" I said. As I know from doing research Jada would suffer from PTSD so I was ready. She took Gianna from my mom and held her close "I missed you so much". Gianna was all smiles.

"She looks a lot better" my mom said.

"I mean she's not a hundred or fifty percent but she's getting better" I said.

"Just be patient with her" she said.

Gianna started crying so Jada walked into the kitchen but looked confused. She stood there not knowing what to do.

"What's wrong?"I asked.

"Stupid question... where are the bottles?" She asked.

Pointing to the cabinet on top. She nodded and grabbed one. Also memory loss is apart of this as well. I've been doing my research. But her memory will come back gradually.

I didn't care about any of this. As long as I had Jada home with me and she's alive. Nothing else mattered.

Later that night. Jada was in the bed just staring at the television. I joined her and sighed... she turned to me "what's wrong?".

"Nothing I'm just tired" I said.

"Oh" she said.

A commercial came on about France and I smiled "we will be there soon enough".

"France? Really?" She asked.

I nodded "yes, we are moving there".

"France?! Why?!" She asked.

"Jada I'm going to refresh your memory here. I am a prince. I'm soon to inherit the throne. You met my family there before. And we spoke about this and you agreed to move there with me" I said.

She blinked at me like she was trying to remember this conversation... "oh okay".

Staring at her she turned back to the television. Grabbing her hand "I promise you everything will be okay. I almost lost you before I refuse to ever lose you again. I will protect this family with all of me".

Jada smiled and snuggled up against me before I knew it she was sleeping. I kissed her forehead "I love you so much".
