Chapter Check

"Mommy!" I could hear Evan's voice followed by Emma's. Tears formed at the corners of my eyes and a smile spread across my face. I missed my kids.

“Hey baby." I say as Evan climbs up the bed with the help of the stool. He wrapped his arms around me, placing his head in the crook of my neck.

“Gentle with your mom." Damon warned and helped Emma up onto the bed.

"I missed you, guys." I said as I pulled away and placed a kiss on their cheeks.

"We missed you, too, mommy." They both replied. I smiled at them, kissed their foreheads and hugged them once more.

"Why weren't you waking up, mommy?" Evan asks, and his voice cracks. I pulled him into my arms once again and kissed his hair.

"I wanted to. But I was tired.” I pouted and he nodded.

The next hour passed quickly and the kids went with it. Although the kids were upset to leave me here, I wanted them to go home. A Hospital isn't a good atmosphere for them at this age.

At the moment, everything seemed normal and good. Damon was talking on the phone outside the room and I was sitting on the bed, bored. The nurse from earlier walked into my room and smiled down at me.

"I'm going to do a quick check up." She told me and I nodded in affirmation, laying my head on the pillow. She does something on the monitor next to my bed, checks my pulse, and eyes and nods to herself.

"Is everything okay?" Damon enters the room and puts his phone into his pants pocket. Why is he always on the phone? I pushed the thought away as the nurse turned to him.

"Everything's good, nothing to worry about." She smiled and nodded at me. "Take a rest, I'll see you in a few hours, with your dinner." She said and left the room. I offered her a smile, followed by a 'thank you'. Damon pulls the stool next to the bed and sits on it.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?” He asked me. I shook my head sideways meaning a 'no' and he gave me a nod. Silence settled down around us. It was awkward and I don't know why. When we were dating and were married, we never had this kind of silence.

It was always comfortable or it was never silent. Our talks used to be endless, even though I was the one continuously talking. There is a knock on the door and I see Liam enter the room, along with Sophie.

"Thank goodness, you're okay." Liam walks up to me. "I missed you, Lucy!" He pats my head gently, and I smile at him.

"I missed you too, Li." I open my arms requesting for a hug and he wraps his arms around me and sighs heavily.

"I was so worried." He murmured and tightened his grip on me.

"I'm okay Liam." I assure him and rub his back gently. I give a glance towards Damon and I can clearly see jealousy radiant on his face. I roll my eyes inwardly. Liam pulls away from me and places a kiss on my head.

“Hey, Lucia." Sophia called out to me and gave me a shoulder hug. "How are you feeling?" She asks and places a basket of fruits on the table.

"I'm okay." I smiled at her and thanked her for the fruits.

"Um... I have to make some calls, You guys carry on." Damon interrupts us. Liam and I stayed quiet, thanking the heavens silently but Sophia answered on our behalf.

“Okay. We'll call if we need anything.” She smiled at him and he nodded at her before leaving the room giving me and Liam a look of jealousy. "He's so hot!" Sophia exclaimed.

"Excuse me?” Liam growls, jealousy evident on his face. I try to control my laughter. "Your boyfriend is right here." He reminded her.

"Oh baby, he's hot but not as hot as you are." She grinned at him and kissed his cheek. Liam's cheeks heated up and turned a slight shade of pink.

"Oh my god! He's blushing." I laughed and Liam rubs his cheeks with his palms as Sophia and I laugh.

"Okay...that's enough." He groaned and we laughed even harder.

"Okay, you both talk, I'll go get myself a cup of coffee. Would you guys like anything?" She queried and we both said no. She nods and leaves the room, leaving me and Liam alone.

"I'm glad you're okay." Liam said and placed his hand on mine. I gave him a smile and we continued to talk.

"How did it happen?” I asked him out of the blue.

"We don't know that yet. All we know is that the driver was drunk and was a guy. The police are trying to find him." He explained

"That asshole Damon. Walter suspects someone though. He's running tabs on someone and he told me that he thinks it is that person. He wouldn't tell me who though." He sighs.

Damon suspects someone? Why would someone want to harm me with an intention and a plan? That's kind of stupid. I guess I have to talk to him about this.

"Oh shit! I almost forgot!" Liam exclaims suddenly, making me jump.

"What happened?" I say.

"I told Harry about what happened and he said he wants to visit you if it's okay with you.” He says. Harry. It's been long since I last saw him.

"Of course. It's been long since we saw each other." Liam raises teasing brows at me, and smirking lightly he winked at me. What's wrong with this dude? Ignoring him, I simply rolled my eyes at his silliness.

"I'll text him." He says and pulls out his phone. After a few seconds he gets a reply and he reads it aloud.

"I'm in the neighborhood. Can I come now?" He reads and looks up at me for approval and I nod. He smirked before replying to Harry, then he placed his phone back in his pocket.

Sophia comes back with her coffee and sits on the couch, sipping on it. Liam continued to talk until there was a knock on the door.

All our heads turned towards the door and there  Harry, with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He was wearing a rolling stone tee shirt, paired with his regular black jeans and he looked incredibly handsome. He entered the room with a killer boy smile and walked directly towards me.

Liam gave him space and joined Sophia on the couch, looking at the both of us, with interest. Harry leaned down and softly kissed my cheek making them warm and pink. He placed the flowers next to the basket of fruits and sat on the bed, smiling at me.

"Welcome back." He said, and I blushed. Why was I blushing like a teenager?

"Thanks for stopping by to check on me, and also for the flowers, they are beautiful." I said as I examined the bouquet of yellow roses.

"Anything-" he's cut off by an angry voice.

“What the fuck is he doing here?" Damon asks with anger that can't be ignored. Oh shit!
