I go to speak, and finally, fucking finally, my voice works.
About damn time too,
"Alexander." His head shoots up, his eyes wide before tears fill them, and I cup his cheek. "His name is Alexander Luca Cooper after his daddy, who I'm going to hit if he doesn't get his head out of his ass and go see his son." He lets out a sob before climbingon the bed, and my arms automatically wrap around him as his head goes into the crook of my neck. I feel the wetness drip onto my skin, making me hold him tighter as I rasp in his ear, "I'm okay, but you won't be if you don't go hold our baby."
He nods, “I-I couldn't and can't face him without you."
I hold him tighter. "Yes, you can, and if I hadn't made it, you would have cherished him even more. Go see our son, Lucas, please; he needs you."
He looks up and cups my cheeks. "If you hadn't made it, baby, I would have joined you."
I look him in the eye before I say softly, "Then you're not the man I thought you were because the man I love, the man who owns my heart, would have stayed and fought for our child."
His tears fall before he rests his forehead against mine. "But there's no world without you in it."
I nod. "But there is a world with our son in it who needs his daddy."
He nods next, his hands gripping my cheeks before he kisses me hard and passionately before he rasps against my lips, "You are not allowed to leave me; do you hear me? You understand, never."
I nod again. "I love you," I whisper, making a sob claw from his throat before he rasps, "I love you too, Angel, so fucking much," and kisses me passionately again when the door opens.
"For fucks sake, Gunner, you can't make out with her to get her to wake; trust me, I fucking tried it with Mel."
Gunner pulls back and furrows his brows because, yeah, that's not weird at all. He turns his head to look at Dagger, and I lean around him to look at him too with a raised brow.
"Seriously Dagger?" I ask in complete confusion, because, really?
His eyes widen, and he smiles wide, seeing me awake before it hits him what he said, and his smile disappears, and he clears his throat, "Well, you see, I just thought, you know, Snow White and everything."
Chapter 27
Gunner – one week later
A whole week without my girl's beautiful green eyes on me, and finally, fucking finally, she's awake.
Alexander Luca.
She's used my middle name for his first, which happens to be my dad's given name.
My girl, I swear.
I turn on her bed with my back against her wooden hospital headboard, lifting my arm, and she instantly leans against me while we both look at Dagger with raised brows, and I point at him with my right hand while my left plays with my girl's hair.
"You tried some Disney princess shit hoping to wake your girl up?"
You can hear the amusement in my voice; I can't help it because that shit is just funny as fuck.
Leah tries to suppress her laughter, but it doesn't work; it claws from her throat, and mine follows because, really?
Dagger narrows his eyes at us before pointing at me.
"Admit it, you would have thought of it too."
I laugh again when Mel comes into the doorway. "What's with all the laughter? I mean, it's good to hear my brother laugh, but Leah needs peace."
Leah answers, because Mel hasn't noticed her awake yet, "Your soon-to-be husband tried the snow white move with you when you were in a coma."
Mel looks at Dagger with a raised brow, and he blushes. He fucking blushes, making me laugh some more before Mel's head snaps towards Leah, realizing it was her who spoke. She lets out a cry before rushing over to her on the other side of the bed, hugging her tightly before cupping her cheeks.
