Chapter 21 Don't leave me
Enzo's POV
There were several emotions Enzo was feeling while he sat in that chair next to the woman he loved.
Fear, the thought of losing them both and he going dark once more.
Frustration, he should have just gotten the ring repaired a few weeks earlier.
Anger, he should have just called her or came home to make sure they were alright.
Guilt, the stress Bonnie had as she was waiting anxiously for his arrival. It would be all his fault.
Enzo buries his head in his hands shaking his head. What have I done? I should have never left them, I can't lose them they are my everything. The door opens quietly Enzo's head shoots up. "How are they?" He asks. Dr. Saltzman gives him a warm smile. "They are both going to be fine. But her stress level cannot be this high again or she will indeed lose the baby." Enzo smiles. "Thank you, Dr. Saltzman. When can I take her back home?" Dr. Saltzman looks at her clipboard lifting a few papers, "We still need to run some more tests just to be sure, I want to keep her here for a few more days just to be safe." Enzo nods stiffly. "Of course." Dr. Saltzman leaves.
Enzo takes Bonnie's hand in his. "Your both going to be alright, love. I promise to never put either of you through this again. I just don't want you to leave me." He leans forward placing a kiss on her hand then on her stomach. Enzo sits back in the chair resting his feet at an angle on Bonnie's bed and closes his eyes he smiles though the guilt that is still tugging on his heartstrings he falls asleep.
The next morning...
Enzo wakes up blinking a few time to adjusting to the light he looks to see Bonnie still asleep he smiles kissing her temple. He stays with her until Caroline arrives. He get's up, "Hey, any changes?" Enzo shakes his head. "None she's been asleep the whole time, unless she woke up and I didn't notice." Caroline crosses her arms, "You can't blame yourself." Enzo let's out a frustrated sigh. "But I can, I should have just come home to check on them. If I had they wouldn't be here." Caroline shrugs, "You don't know that. Now go home take a shower and eat something. I'll call you if there are any changes." Enzo nods leaving the room. He drives back home asking James to get something prepared. He went upstairs to take a shower. When he was finished he dresses and goes downstairs.
When he enters the dining room he takes a seat. James comes in with a plate of food. "Thank you, James." His Butler bows, "Of course, sir." He leaves. Enzo eats a healthy portion of his food before pulling out his phone. Looks for the person he wants to call then dials. "Matt, I need your help." He spends half an hour explaining to Matt who and what he needed. He calls Caroline just to check in on Bonnie once he knows that's she's alright he hangs up. He get's into his car and drives over to Donovan's. "Enzo what are we doing here?" Stefan asked before he was even inside the house. Enzo stops walking turning to face him. "Look the woman that I love and mother of my child is in the hospital because of me. I caused her to worry and she got stressed out because you guys wanted to keep me here to talk more." He pauses. "I could have been home Stefan and she wouldn't be in that bloody hospital if all of you had just let me go, instead of worrying about your fucking car that is not important because that shit is not human. Bonnie is so you all owe me." Enzo says enraged.
"And were going to do whatever he needs, right Stefan?" They both look behind them and see Penny. "Yeah, he still hasn't told us what it is though." Penny rolls her eyes. "Stefan how can you be so dense? You know what Matt is working on in there." Stefan shakes his head. Jeremy and Tyler come out. "Seriously Stefan how do you not see Matt getting some moves together in there?" Jeremy asks. Stefan shrugs, "Jeremy, Enzo, Tyler, and Stefan let's go inside and learn these moves for Enzo's proposal to Bonnie." She walks inside the guys follow. They learn the routine in just a few hours and it's then that Enzo get's a call from Caroline telling him that she's awake. "I'll be there shortly just bring her out front in about ten minutes." He hangs up he tells everyone it's time they drive back to the hospital in separate cars. Enzo parks he reaches into his leather jacket unzipping his secret pocket to reveal the box with the ring he wanted to give to Bonnie last night. He shakes his head and gets out he sees Caroline just wheeling Bonnie out now. He runs towards her.
"Bonnie." He says he gets on his knees and kisses her. "Love, I'm so sorry I should have never put you through that." Bonnie smiles rubbing her belly, "It's alright. Look at me." His brown eyes meet her green ones. "Were okay now." He kisses her on the cheek then gives the thumbs up behind her. The music starts.

Enzo get's down on one knee he takes her hand in his. "Can we give this another go? I love you, Bonnie Lucinda Bennett. Will you be the other half of my heart? Will you take this poor excuse of a man with all his flaws? Will you make me the happiest man on this planet become my wife?" He looks up at her and she smiles. "Yes, Lorenzo St. John I'll marry you." Enzo takes the ring out and places it on her ring finger he kisses that hand. "Now your stuck with me, because I'm never going to let you go." Bonnie smiles at him. "Well that's okay because I'm never leaving." He kisses her long and passionate. Enzo hears the roar of the people that have gathered behind them, but he's not bothered by it at all because he has all he ever wanted right in front of him.
