Chapter Twenty-Five

Cameron quickly opened her eyes only to find herself in a room of all white. The white stretched out in all directions and she had lost all sense of direction. A long white flowy skirt hung low on her hips along with a white button up shirt with long sleeves. She noticed her stomach was once more flat leaving no sign that she was or had ever been pregnant. She looked around her again as panic gripped her mind.

"Hello!" She called into the whiteness. "Someone help me!" She screamed. She froze as she saw a figure approach her. It was a man of middle age who was dressed in an all white suite and tie. His features remained fuzzy until he was only a few feet in front of her. Cameron gasped when she saw who it was. His dark brown hair with streaks of gray and high cheek bones were not unfamiliar to her.

"Daddy!" She said walking to him and flinging her arms around his neck in a huge hug. "Daddy I missed you!" She continued as he gladly hugged her back.

"I missed you too, my sweet." He gave her a small kiss on the cheek as they parted.

"What are you doing here? Where am I?" She asked.

"Your in the wrong place, for sure." Cameron gave him a confused look. "Something went very wrong, Cameron."

"Am I dead?" Cameron's face fell as her father nodded.

"But your not suppose to be. This wasn't suppose to happen."

"Then why did I dream about it?"

"I'm not sure. I wouldn't be able to answer that question."

"But I.." Cameron was cut off by her father's finger on her lips.

"You must listen to me. You have to wake up, Cameron. Willy cannot raise your son on his own. He needs you much more then I do. You must wake up." Her father's voice was urgent as he held her hands in his own.

Tears fell down her cheeks as she hugged him once more. "But I don't want to loose you again. You said you would always be there for me." She cried into his shoulder.

"I have, Cameron. I've been with you the whole time." He laughed hugging her back. "But you must wake up, Cameron. You must try." He said pushing her away so he could look into her eyes. "Look how you've grown. You are just as beautiful as I imagined you would be."

Cameron closed her eyes as he gave her a light kiss on her forehead. "You have the most beautiful son. I will watch over you all. I love you." He whispered to her.

"I love you too, daddy!" Cameron whispered back as she felt herself falling. She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out.

Willy leaned over his wife tears streaming down his face as he gently moved the hair away from her closed eyes.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wonka." The doctor sat a hand on his shoulder before walking out of the room.

"Cameron!" He whispered to her. "Please come back. I couldn't make any more candy without you here with me." Willy looked at her face expecting her to wake up and wack him in the head for saying such a thing, but her body remained still as his tears dropped slowly from his cheek onto her skin. Willy squeezed her hand tighter not noticing the reassuring squeeze that he received back.

Cameron slowly opened her eyes to see the bright lights of the deliver y room around her. She could feel Willy's head on her shoulder.

"Willy!" She took in a deep breath before saying his name squeezing his hand tighter. The sound of his sobbing suddenly stopped as he lifted his head to look at her. He smiled at seeing the familiar green orbs looking back at him.

"Cameron! I thought you were..." She covered his mouth with her hand.

"It was a mistake." She said softly. Willy quickly gave her a hug which she gratefully returned as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Is he ok?" Cameron asked urgently as they parted.

"I don't know. I didn't see him, all I was worried about was you."

"But I heard his cries." She laid her head back down on the small pillow clearing drained of strength.

Willy turned to look behind him when he heard a nurse. "Would you like to hold your son? He's all cleaned up now." The nurse smiled but then gasped when she noticed Cameron was awake.

"Doctor!" She called giving Cameron a huge smile before she walked over on the other side of her to hand Cameron her son.

Cameron hesitated only for a second before holding out her arms as the nurse gently laid the small wrapped up baby in her arms. She quickly rushed out of the room to get the doctor. Cameron looked down at her baby and the first thing she noticed was his piercing lavender eyes.

"He looks just like me!" Willy said excitedly.

"He certainly has your eyes." She laughed as the doctor came running into the room.

"Cameron how are you feeling? How can this be?" He asked.

"Tired, but fine and you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Cameron said without looking up from her son.

"You gave us quiet a scare." The doctor chuckled.

"Your tellin me." Willy said looking up at the doctor.

A few days later the doctor allowed Cameron to go back to the factory and her first few days back she rarely go out of bed. She still felt weak from the delivery and eventually got frustrated with herself because she got tired so easily. Willy skipped work many times so he could stay by her side and he loved to play and cuddle with little Jack.

Cameron pulled on her white robe as she walked into Jack's room smiling when she saw Willy holding him. He looked up when he saw her come in.

"Hey!" He greeted her.

Cameron laughed walking over to him reaching for Jack. "Willy! Why aren't you at work?"

"You know how hard it is trying to stay away from this little smilin machine." Willy playfully tickled his cheek. "How are you feeling?" He looked back at his wife.

"A whole lot better then before." She smiled. "Now go to work!"

"Fine!" Willy pouted as he quickly gave Jack and Cameron a kiss on the cheek before walking from the room.

Cameron smiled after him before looking down at Jack. "You are in for the biggest adventure of your life, you know that?" She laughed sitting in the white rocking chair by the crib. "Your grandfather would have loved to be here with you." She whispered.
