A/N: This picks up right where the first half of "Pieces of You" left off

I woke up to Eli's cries. I picked him up and the minute I did Danni started. So I sat her in my bed wrapped up in blankets.

I changed, made two bottles, and fed both babies in my bed praying that Andie didn't wake up and luckily she stayed quiet long enough to feed Danni and Eli, but woke up once I laid them down.

"Good morning Clare how are you feeling?" a young nurse said as she walked into my room. She looked like she was my age.

"I'm doing good."

"That's good. I'm sure your ready to take these precious gifts home with you."

I smiled faintly when I remembered home and everything there. I got a text from Eli's publisher saying one of the books he sent her three weeks before he died just got published and his autobiography as well as the children's books are still on hold to get published.

"Are you ok?" the nurse asked

I nodded slowly and started to cry.

"Is there something I can get you, anything you want just name it."

I smiled faintly and giggled. "Thank you, but that's impossible."

"Surely nothing's impossible."

"You can't bring him back."

She moved and sat on my bed.

"Who dear?"

"My husband I'm sure you've heard of him Elijah Goldsworthy." I announced

"He died?" She said as if she didn't know

I nodded.

"Two months ago."

"He just came out with a new book-"

"Written months ago, that's the thing he'll write, then hand the copy to the publisher, and it won't get published till months later. They're waiting on my ok to publish his children books and his autobiography is to be published in two months, they want me to add to it."

"He was such a great writer I've met him a few times and he seemed so full of life."

"That's my Eli, though he always dressed emo he was always so happy much like in his stories."

"I always wondered why he dressed like that."

"It was his style, he even drove a hearse named Morty."

"I thought those were just rumors."

I giggled.

"Those weren't fiction Morty's parked in my garage. He was Eli's baby, until he found out I was pregnant, then it was these three. Did you meet Eli at book signings?"

"Yea he took a picture with me he was sitting down you were asleep in his lap." She giggled

"He forced me to go." I admitted

"I was so jealous. I thought that him being married was a rumor too. You could tell he loved you very much."

"I know, we've been in love for eight years."

"That's long time."

I nodded and smiled. "Eli first told me he loved me on Valentine's Day when I was fifteen. We got married when I was nineteen and were married for eight years."

"That's a long time." She repeated herself

I started to cry. "I thought we'd be together forever."

All three babies started to cry.

"Wanna help?" I asked seeing that Alli and Adam were still sleeping. They mainly took the night shift.

"Sure."

I picked up Danni and handed her to the nurse.

"Oh I'm Louise." The nurse stated as I put Danni in her arms

"Clare, which you probably know from Eli."

"He talked about you when you weren't at his signings. He loved you dearly."

"This is Danni and I love Eli just the same, I always will."

I changed Eli's diaper and he fell back asleep right after, then I took Andie. I changed her and made her a bottle.

I saw someone lean against the door.

"I missed a lot didn't I?" Eli stated only it couldn't be him, my Eli was dead.

I moved Eli's crib closer to me in fear as I put Andie down and continued to feed her. The nurse held Danni in shock.

"Don't pretend you're afraid of me Clare-bear." Eli said sadly

"E-Eli you, you, y-you're dead you died a month ago."

"They got the bodies mixed up I had amnesia and when I went to the bathroom one day I got lost in the hospital I just recovered yesterday."

I looked at him, he looked the same that mortifying day before he left.

"See I still have my wedding ring on."

I looked up as Eli pointed to his wedding ring and looked at all the other rings on his fingers. Then I turned to the nurse.

"Don't they take the rings off when you die?"

She turned to me "Yes only to do the autopsy, but then they're placed on or given to the person's family which would be you or his parents, if he didn't have on any jewelry they would just leave his body as is."

I thought back to the funeral, the Eli in the casket didn't have on any jewelry at all, no black nails, no eyeliner, no nothing. Then I looked at Eli in the middle of my floor standing tall, worry clearly visible in his eyes, joy as well, he was in the same outfit the day he left too. Either this was my Eli and there was a mistake in the hospital, or this was a disturbing, sick, twisted joke someone was playing.

"Ask him a question that only the real Eli would know." the nurse stated once she saw the confusion on my face.

I thought about it.

"Where's my birth mark?" I asked

"Easy on the bottom of your right breast."

"Where did you first tell me you loved me?"

"A little Italian restaurant the song was Hanging By A Moment by Life House we were waiting for our food to come and you looked really cute, I took your hands and whispered I love you Clare, you stared blankly at me so I repeated it, then tears fell from your eyes as you told me you loved me and threw yourself in my arms. When we found out we were having triplets you we were so scared, but the moment I first felt them kick you were walking to me in the kitchen and when you told me I knelt down, and put my hands on both sides of you belly, then smiled up at you."

There's no way anyone could know that unless they were stalking us. I laid Danni down as Eli started crying loudly.

"Shh it's ok my little Eli mommy's here." I cooed as I cradled him.

"Thought we decided on Adam?" Eli said with a raised brow

"That was before I thought you died."

Adam woke up and wiped his eyes a lot Eli chuckled.

"It's really him Adam in the flesh." I stated

"It can't be."

"But it is." I stated

Adam nudged Alli and woke her up.

"Who the hell are you and if this is your idea of some sick sadistic joke you're not funny get the fuck out." Alli yelled waking up the babies. "Sorry I woke them up Clare." her voice clearly apologetic

"It's fine and he's real he never died."

"Nope, mixed up the bodies, I had amnesia." Eli shrugged

"Clare did ask him things only Eli would know." Louise

"He told me things that only the real Eli would know."

"Well we'll just see about that."

I watched as Alli picked up my phone and left right past Eli. I stood up and changed Eli's diaper again.

"So does this mean I can hold you, you know it feels like forever since I last seen you." Eli stated

I was speechless I didn't know what to say, sure he's my husband, but still I was made to believe he was dead and for the past month I believed it.

"Adam do you think he's the real Eli?" I asked

"Dude back when you Clare had just started dating tell me once secret you've never told anyone."

Eli motioned Adam to walk towards them and whispered something in his ear. Adam backed away.

"Yup it's the one and only Eli Goldsworthy in the flesh no mistaking that." Adam announced happily then hugged Eli.

Alli walked back in the room and a nurse took him out, while another came in.

"Can I draw some blood out of one of your babies for a DNA sample?"

"What for? I don't like that idea."

"Well it's to match up samples with Mr. Goldsworthy. Plus the doctor has to draw blood from all three before you leave just to check to see if they're healthy."

"Fine." I replied dryly.

I watched as the nurse smiled and walked away. Moments later a doctor and Eli returned. Louise gave me Andie and left the room.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Goldsworthy."

I smiled faintly and nodded.

We all watched as the doctor took a needle and cleaned it.

"How much blood are you taking?" I asked

"Only a little about an ounce or so."

"And nothing bad will happen will it?" I questioned worry clearly in my voice

"No I promise."

I nodded and the doctor wiped off Danni's arm, then began to draw blood. She started screaming and I sat Eli down in his crib.

I looked to Eli who had his back turned at the sight I couldn't bare to watch the doctor draw blood from my babies. All three were now screaming loudly.

"I took some from all three." He yelled over the screaming. "I'll be back in about twenty minutes with the results."

I nodded and picked up Andie I handed her to Alli, I gave Adam Eli, and I took Andie as the three of us tried to calm them.

"They're loud." Eli announced

"Well duh." I commented back in a sarcastic tone.

CeCe and Bullfrog walked in as the babies started to get quiet. I watched as CeCe's eyes widened as she looked over Eli.

"Ok everyone put the babies down and get out." she demanded in a raised voice causing me to jump and want to leave, but I was forced to stay thanks to the god awful stitches in my side.

Cece closed the door and even Bullfrog left. The babies are now sleeping peacefully in their cribs all three of them.

"Ok my so-called-son drop your clothes." Cece demanded with her arms crossed at her chest.

"What mom!" Eli replied

"You heard me and you're not allowed to call me mom until I find out you're my actual son." CeCe sounded unamused

Eli rolled his eyes and took off his shirt, then his shoes, then soon he was only in his boxers. I blushed and turned my face.

"Clare it's nothing you haven't before."

I didn't reply I just kept my face turned. CeCe looked over Eli and gave her approval.

"Yup he's my son or someone paid a hell of a lot of money to get surgery to look like him."

"Told you mom."

Eli got dressed and then everyone was allowed back in the room. A few minutes later a doctor came in.

"Ok we have the results. It has been confirmed…." We were all watching in anticipation. "The hospital indeed got the bodies mixed up we are so very sorry."

Just like that I got my Eli back. I opened my arms widely as tears started coming down my face. Eli immediately ran over to me crying as well, we hugged, and cried.

"I-I thought you were dead, never ever do that to me again." I sobbed uncontrollably

"I won't I promise."

Eli picked up my face both of us still crying, I looked at him, he wiped tears from my eyes, and kissed me hard and rough.

"I missed that and a lot of other things." Eli said as he looked around at the sleeping babies.

"Well, meet your kids Danni, Andie, and Eli." I announced

"I thought we decided not to have a junior."

"That was before you were mistaken for dead." I replied sadly.

Eli nodded, sat on my bed, kissed my head, and looked at all three of our kids.

Please Review and let me know how I did in bringing Eli back.
