Tutuola"Daddy!" Megan squealed crawling over to Fin. She grabbed the arm of his wheelchair and climbed on his lap.
He hugged her hand kissed her head. "How is daddy's princess?"
"Good!" She said excitedly.
Casey walked into the kitchen and kissed Fin. "Hey babe."
"Hi," he smiled up at her. "How are you?"
"Fine. I have to be in court all day today so Olivia will be here in about an hour to pick up Megan and Jesse," she said taking her purse off of the counter and kissing Jesse sitting in his highchair and Megan on Fin's lap. "Bye. Love you."
MarsdenAlex gets up out of bed and goes into the bathroom. She looks in the mirror and sighs to herself. It was her and Simon's one year anniversary and Simon wasn't with her to celebrate. After the operation to remove the bullet from his shoulder he slipped into a coma and she had been visiting him every day since just in case there was any change. She took a shower, got dressed, drank some coffee, and went out to her car. She got in and her automatic drive mode went right out and she drove straight to the hospital. She went up in the elevator to the Coma Wing at Mercy General Hospital and went right into Simon's room.
"Happy anniversary babe," she said sitting down next to him and smiling. "I came early today because I wanted to tell you that Olivia found out that she is having another baby yesterday. Isn't that exciting? We are going to be aunt and uncle again." She took his hand in hers and raised it to her lips. "I love you Simon. There are so many people who love you and miss you. We all need you to come back to us Simon. I need you most of all." She began to cry and she put his hand back down on the bed. She rested her hand on top of his and put her face in her other hand.
A nurse walked in and went over to the monitor that was showing Simon's vitals. "Hello Mrs. Marsden," she said cheerfully.
Alex wiped her eyes and looked up. "Oh. Hello," she smiled weakly.
"How are you today?" The nurse said trying to put the mood up.
"As good as to be expected. His sister just found out that her and her husband are expecting another baby," she said finally smiling more.
"That's great," the nurse replied happily.
Simon's finger moved under Alex's hand.
"Simon?" Alex said surprised.
His eyes fluttered and then opened slowly. He smiled up at Alex as she began to cry again.
"Welcome back Mr. Marsden," the nurse said nodding towards him.
"Wha…" Simon began.
"What was the last thing you remember honey?" Alex said soothingly.
"The ambulance after I was shot," he said dryly.
"Ok sweetie," she said running her hand through his hair.
"Happy anniversary," he smiled. "I heard you," he laughed.
She laughed with him and then leaned down to kiss him. "I love you Simon."
"I love you Alex," he said as he leaned forward to kiss her back.
