Chapter 13
"Clear…."yelled Lexie as she put the paddles to John's chest. "Okay he's back, we need to get him into surgery."
Looking out the window of Kate's room, Roman noticed Marlena and Belle standing outside John's room crying. "Kate, I gotta for a second, but I'll be right back", he said kissing her hand and headed out the door. Running towards Marlena, Roman placed his hand on her shoulder, "Doc what's wrong?", he asked. Marlena turned to Roman, "John..John..his pressure dropped and they took him back into surgery", cried Marlena. Roman pulled both Marlena and Belle into his arms for comfort. "It's going to be okay, John's a fighter, he'll be fine."
"Ms. Roberts, I'm sorry if I scared you before, I didn't mean to upset you like that. The fact about your baby is that it's going to be just fine. The surgery went well, and didn't even harm the little one." A smile came across Kate's face as she watched the doctor leave the room. Wiping her tears away from her eyes, Kate placed her hands on her stomach. 'Now that I know your going to be okay, I wish I could say the same about your father. But you my little child, have given me a new look on things, I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you.' Kate said to herself.
Philip came running towards Belle when he saw her crying in her mothers arms. Spotting Philip, Belle left the comfort of her mother and Roman and ran to Philip. "Belle what's wrong?" he asked. "My dad's back in surgery…oh Philip, I can't loose him." cried Belle as she fell into Philip's arms. "Come on Belle, let's go sit down." he said as he led her over to the chairs.
Looking over at her daughter, Marlena looked up at Roman. "Roman, what is she going to do if she looses her father. I pray to god that John's okay." Roman pulled Marlena into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "He's going to be fine Doc..".
Just than Sami and Lucus came running towards them, Sami was shocked to see both her parents standing there. "Mom….Dad……" she cried as she ran towards them. "Your alive….your alive…..and together..oh my god". Marlena and Roman looked at each other and smiled. "Roman…have you been in to see my mom? I mean I got a call saying that she was brought in…". asked Lucus stilled shocked. "Smiling Roman nodded, "Yeah , Lucus she's in room 217. She's doing good." Nodding his head, Lucus headed to his mom's room.
"Philip, do you see something different between my mom and Roman? I mean do they seem closer than before?" asked Belle, looking over at her mom and Roman. Looking towards them, than back at Belle, Philip grinned. "Well Belle, they've probably been through a lot, so I think it would seem natural that they would seem closer. I wouldn't worry about it", he said.
Shortly after brining John back to his room, Lexie told Marlena and Belle that he was going to be okay and that if they wanted to see him they could. "Lexie can I talk to you for a second?" asked Tek and he approached her. "Yeah", she said smiling. "I just want you to know that these past couple of months, whatever has been going on between us, I want you to know that I don't regret any of it…but Abe is back and I know that he loves you and that you still love him..so I want to be friends..if you'll let me." said Tek. Smiling Lexie nodded, "Tek I don't regret anything either, and I would love to be friends with you." she said as she placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Thank you Tek…for everything." Tek smiled and watched her as she walked away, "Your welcome".
"Mom, I'm going to go and see dad", Belle said as she walked passed her mom and sister. "Dad…dad are you okay?" asked Belle as she walked into the room. Turning his head, John smiled, "Belle….my beautiful baby girl…I love you so much." "I love you too dad" said Belle as she placed a kiss on her dad's forehead. "Belle there's something that you need to know…something that I don't want to keep from you any longer…." "What is it dad?" she asked "I need you to get your mother.." said John as he turned away. Hearing Belle leave the room, tears began to form in his eyes, 'I'm sorry Belle, but you need to know that your mother and I aren't together…that we've both moved on….' John thought to himself.
"Mom…hey how's it going?" asked Lucus as he walked into his mother's room. "I'm doing okay…still shocked about..Roman and the others being alive.." said Kate. "I know….I was shocked to see Marlena and Roman, Sami was sure happy to see both her parents though." "Lucus..I'm glad that you came by…I want to talk to you about Sami and this wedding…" Kate started but was interrupted by her son. "Mom..I don't want to fight with you anymore….Sami and I are getting married..I love her and I'm happy with her." yelled Lucus. "I know…so am I". Just as Lucus was about to start arguing he stopped…. "Huh?" he asked. "Lucus..all I've ever wanted for my children was for them to be happy… and I now realize how happy you are with Sami and that is why I am happy for you." Just than Sami walked in, "Did I just hear you right Kate? Did you say that you were actually happy for Lucus and I?" asked Sami. Smiling Kate nodded, "Sami all of my children are happy, and there's no reason why I can't be happy for myself and for them. Yes, I am truly happy for you and my son." Smiling Sami walked over to Kate and gave her a hug. "Thank you Kate". Taking Sami's hand in his Lucus and Sami headed out the door. "Mom, I'll be back later to check on you. Get some rest", he said as they walked out the door. "Lucus…have you noticed something different between my mom and dad? I mean do they seem closer or something?" asked Sami as they walked by Roman and Marlena who were holding each other. Kissing her hand, Lucus smiled, "I guess we're not the only happy couple in Salem than."
