Ch.21

"I hope I can go home soon."

"Me too Teresa."

Fox was wheeling Teresa outside in the courtyard of the hospital. Ever since she had woken up, she wanted to spend as much time outside as possible. She had missed feeling the sun on her face.

When they got to their usual spot, Fox put the brakes on Teresa's wheelchair and sat down on the grass.

"Its such a great day," she said.

"Its always a great day when I'm with you Resa."

She smiled.

"You know Fox, I was thinking…now that I'm awake and doing better, maybe we can start planning our wedding again."

He looked at her.

"Teresa you know I want nothing more in the world than to be married to you…but maybe we should wait a little longer. I wouldn't want to jeopardize your health. And you still have chemo treatments you have to get through."

"I don't care about any of that stuff Fox. I feel really good, I honestly do…and I think a wedding would make me feel 200% better!"

"I don't know Teresa…I just worry tha-"

"Nicolas stop worrying!" she interrupted him. "I'm not saying we have to get married today or anything…I just want to start talking about it again ya know? Start making some plans."

"Well I guess there is no harm in that." He smiled.

"Good!" she said cheerfully. "Now lets see where do we even begin…there is so much to do…we don't even have a song yet!"

Suddenly her face paled.

"Teresa, what's wrong? Are you ok?" Fox stood up and rushed over to her.

"Yea I'm fine…I just remembered something…"

"What is it?"

A smile slowly crept across her tired face.

"You sang to me …didn't you?"

Fox was speechless.

"What?"

"When I was in my coma…you sang to me…I remember" her voice was a hushed whisper.

"How can you remember that?" fox was astounded.

"I don't know how I remember…but I do…you sang to me…oh it was such a beautiful song."

She closed her eyes, and then started humming.

"I am amazed…" she started singing.

Fox let out a small whimper.

"When I look at you…" she continued singing. "Is this the song you sang?" she asked him.

"Yes, it's the song." His heart was racing a mile a minute…he couldn't believe that she had heard him.

Her face became troubled.

"That's all I remember…" she said disappointed.

Fox grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"You are the love of my life…" he sung. " and I'm so glad you found me"

She gasped.

"You are the love of my life…baby put your arms around Me." she sung excitedly.

"I remember Fox! I remember all of it!" she clapped her hands together. Her eyes welled up.

"Oh baby I'm so glad," Fox said leaning down and picking her up.

She laughed as he twirled her around.

"I remember, I remember," she kept repeating in a muffled voice.

He stopped twirling and put her down, before leaning in and kissing her forehead.

"May I have this dance Miss Lopez Fitzgerald?"

He reached out his hand.

"You may have every dance from here to eternity." She reached out and grabbed him.

"I was hoping you would say that. He said, "because there is no one I would rather dance with for the rest of my life than you."

She kissed his cheek as they danced, moving slowly to the song Fox hummed.

It was days like these when nothing could go wrong.

Or so they thought.
