Chapter 47
Belle: What are you talking about? I'm ok right?
Craig: You just came out of a coma, Belle.
Belle: I feel fine. I'm just a little groggy and my throat hurts.
Shawn: Belle, I'm so glad you are awake.
Marlena: Belle, how come you've never told us about your eating disorder?
Belle: What eating disorder?
John: Don't play with us young lady. Craig told us that you haven't been eating.
Shawn: Don't you dare yell at her! She just came out of a coma and she almost died!
John: Well she could have died from not eating too.
Craig: Ok, lets stop this fight before it gets out of hand. Belle, I'm going to help you with your eating disorder and help you to gain weight back.
Belle: I guess I do need help. Oh no! Mimi's wedding! How is she? Is she ok?
Shawn: She's fine and so is Jason. Everyone is fine now that you are awake.
Marlena: Well only one person was fatally injured.
Belle: Who? Who died mom?
Marlena: Kate. She was shot and she didn't make it.
Shawn: But we are so glad that you did make it Belle. And in a few days you are going to be better than ever.
Belle: The kids! Where are the children?
Marlena: Bo and Hope have them. They are all ok.
Belle: I want to see them. I want to see my babies.
Shawn: I promise I will bring them to see you.
Belle: Mom, dad, Craig, can I please have some alone time with Shawn? I need to talk to him.
Craig: I'm going to check on a few other patients but if you need me, just push that button on your bed and I'll be here.
Marlena: I'll go call Hope and let her know that you are awake.
John: I'll go with your mother.
Shawn: So what do you want to talk to me about?
Belle: Us, our future, and our kids.
Shawn: Sure baby anything you want to talk about. You can have anything you want.
Belle: I want to get married in 3 months.
Shawn: A month Belle there is no way that you can pull off getting better and planning a wedding in 3 months.
Belle: Shawn you said anything.
Shawn: Fine. Only if you promise to let Craig help you with your eating disorder.
Belle: Okay I promise. Now go get me some bridal books and bring me my kids.
Shawn: Okay I'll be back in an hour. I love you so much baby.
Belle: I love you too. And I'm sorry.
Shawn: Sorry for what. You didn't do anything wrong.
Belle: For not telling you about my eating disorder.
Shawn: As long as you get better it doesn't matter. Let me go get our kids and then you will truly feel better. Love you.
Shawn ran to the nearest store and bought Belle some roses and all the bridal magazines he could find. Then he called his parents and asked them to meet him at the hospital with the kids.
Meanwhile Philip and Kimberley managed to box up all the kids toys except for a few balls for them to play with. Roman arrived home surprised to see that all the boys stuff was packed and Kate's. He went upstairs in search of Kimberly and Philip. He found them folding her clothes into boxes. Kimberly: Hi daddy. I am almost done packing my stuff. Then can I go help Philip.
Roman: First sweetie let's go get some dinner.
Kimberly: Dad there is pizza and salad downstairs we are just waiting on you.
Roman: Well let's eat I am starving.
The family sat down to dinner and had a very nice dinner. Philip and Kimberly headed to pack Philip's stuff while Roman went to work on packing all of his stuff. 3 hours later Kimberly arrived with all of his stuff in the back of Roman's truck and they had the boys. Philip took the twins upstairs and put them to bed. Then he told Kimberly to take a bath while he talked to Roman.
Roman: Hey let me go get the boys.
Philip: It's okay I picked them up on my way here. They already had baths and are in bed.
Roman: Thanks for all your help, you two got an amazing amount done.
Philip: Not a problem. So any luck in the house hunt.
Roman: As a matter of fact. Five minutes ago I received a phone call saying that they accepted my offer and they will be out of the house on Monday.
Philip: Monday that is in 3 days. How are they going to be out that quick.
Roman: I offered them $5,000 to be out in a week and they said they would be out by Monday.
Philip: That means we have this weekend to finish packing and clean the house.
Roman: I might just spend all night packing so we can just rent a moving truck and start loading stuff into it tomorrow. Oh yeah we are going to see the house tomorrow. I have to check in at the station up there so the owners said I could show you guys the house.
Philip: Well I tell you what you work on the living room and I will work on the kitchen. We should get this house done in no time.
After 4 hours of packing they managed to package everything in bubble wrap and box it up. They crawled into bed around 2:00 and fell right asleep exhausted. Around 3:00 Philip felt someone tapping him on the shoulder.
Kimberly: Can I sleep with you I had a bad dream?
Philip: Sure sweetie crawl on in.
Around 9:00 the twins barged into Roman's room and woke him up. After getting them dressed he went to wake up Kimberly but couldn't find her so he headed to the guest bedroom and found her asleep with Philip. He gently woke them up and they headed to St. Louis.
Monday Morning
Philip woke up at 8:00 and got the kids dressed and ready to go. Then he woke Roman up. Philip and the kids waited in the car as Roman took one finally walk through the house and the life he shared with Kate. It was a silent 3 hour drive as the kids slept and Roman drove.
They arrived in St. Louis and Roman headed to the station promising to be back in one hour. The twins ran around in the living room with Kimberly while Philip helped the movers move the furniture into the rooms. After all the boxes were unloaded Philip started putting together the boys beds and Kimberly put all of their clothes in their dresser. Within an hour the boys room was put together so Philip gently picked them up off the floor and moved them into their beds.
3 hours had passed and still no Roman so Philip kept Kimberly busy until he got home. They managed to get all the boxes into Roman's room and finished unpacking all the rooms. Philip started to get chocked up as he moved Kate's boxes to the attic. Roman strolled into the house around midnight.
Philip: Where in the hell have you been?
Roman: At work. What's the problem.
Philip: You said one hour. And you are drunk. What is going on with you Roman?
Roman: Just worry about yourself Philip. I am going to bed.
Philip was furious he headed down to his room in the basement and slammed the door. The nerve of him to leave his family to unpack while he went and got drunk. Philip fell into a fitful sleep. Upstairs Roman unpacked all of his belongs and took the last of the boxes to the garage. Mentally beating himself up as he walked through the house that was no a replica of the house back home. The only thing missing was his wife.
Belle: What are you talking about? I'm ok right?
Craig: You just came out of a coma, Belle.
Belle: I feel fine. I'm just a little groggy and my throat hurts.
Shawn: Belle, I'm so glad you are awake.
