Sophie could feel herself dying. She was cold, so cold that she couldnt move her fingers, the drug was still affecting her. It was dark outside, the moon wasn't even there. She closed her eyes and thought about her Blue, I'm sorry I couldn't protect us both, I Love You. As she closed her eyes she thought of a song she loved called lost boys. Some of the words soothed her.
And Neverland is home, to lost boys like me, and lost boys like me are free. Run Run Lost boys, they say to me, away from all of... reality.She could hear her name being called from far away there was banging and shouting, metal crashes and swearing. Just as she let herself go, she smiled, Her Blue was here.
'There it is!' Sportacus didn't need Robbies shout, he was already sprinting towards the metal bunker that was boarded up and half flooded with water. He ripped the boards off ,his dad helping to rip the metal sheets clear. All three of them were calling Sophies name, trying to hear a response over the racket they were making. It took a few minutes until there was finally enough room for Sportacus to crawl through to her. He fell next to her just as she smiled and let out a breathe. Her last breathe, He screamed in agony and started chest compressions. You can't leave me, please, I need you, both of you, please baby don't go.His dad came through next and pushed him aside. He placed his hand upon her chest and closed his eyes. Sportacus was about to shout at him to move when both bodies infront of him started to glow. His dad was using the ancient guildes life source on his girl! He thought it was just a legend! He watched in awe and saw when it stopped that Sophie was breathing normally again, though she was still as cold and wet as ice.
They had found her.
Sophie slowly woke to the The sound of beeping and a pressure on her hand. She blinked and blinked again until she could see, she was in a white sterile room, ah hospital then' her brain supplied slowly. Moving her hand she pulled at the oxygen tube in her nose until a gentle hand grasped hers and pulled it away stopping her progress. She looked at the hand and then it's owner. It was an older man with short grey hair and huge muscles ripping under his shirt. who is this man and why is he here.He smiled softly at her, put his finger to his lips, and then pointed to the other side of the bed. Sophies breath hitched, There was her Blue, asleep at the moment, hand in hers with his head resting on his arm. She smiled at the man, feeling the calmness of the room wash over her. She drifted back to sleep.
The next time she woke up the sun was low and the blinds were only open part way, afternoon? morning? She couldnt decide. She felt the same pressure on her hand and turned to her Blue, He was awake but facing away from her, speaking softly to the man from before, Robbie was there too but he was dozing on the couch on the opposite side of the room. Her eyes slid closed again, falling back to sleep instantly.
'' What's going on! ...help...she's...emergency!'Come on baby, please wake up, I need you, fight it Sophie please! Please sweetheart just open your eyes.'
'Come on princess, put that boyfriend of yours out of his misery and wake up, your safe, and you always will be.'She opened her eyes but this time she wasn't in a hospital bed in a white room. She was sat in a field of lillies. With a jump she recognised the field, and she recognised the man walking towards her. Soft wavy blonde hair, sparkling green eyes and a killer smile. This was her dad. But what was he doing here? was she dead? NO! she needed to get back to Blue!'It's okay princess, you're not dead your just asleep, I am so proud of you bumblebee, you raised your sister and have been a rock to that man of yours. He's a good one, I definetly approve. (He chuckled) look after yourself bumblebee and keep looking after your sister, remember that I'm proud of you and I will always be watching over you.He kissed her cheek and the field started to fade.
Beep... beep... beep...
Sportacus watched as Sophies eyelids fluttered, she mumbled round the tube in her mouth and turned into his kiss when he stroked her forehead. Agonisingly slow, she opened her eyes. Confusuon coloured her chocolate brown pools but Sportacus couldnt help but shout in relief. After the 2 weeks he had never been so happy to see those eyes. First her going missing, then seeing her breathless body, her not waking at all and then having a bad reaction to the sedative and having to be intubated and put on life support. He never felt so relieved.Nurses bustled in, taking out the intubator she had in her throat to help her breathe, fussing with the wires and monitors. He didn't let go of her hand but he did stand by her head so he was out of the way. His dad and Robbie slowly walked out the door deciding to give them a moment together.
Sophie tried to speak but her throat felt like sandpaper. One of the nurses put an icecube in her mouth. It tasted heavenly. She was then given a cup of water with a straw and told to sip it slowly. It hurt to suck, but after a few attempts she got the hang of it, never taking her eyes off her Blue. Finally the nurses left and Sportacus sat on the side of the bed. He cupped her head in his hands and stared into his eyes. His own filling with tears.
'finally' He whispered, and kissed her gently on the lips.They didn't need words, they could feel the love for each other through the touch. He lay next to her and she fell back to sleep with her head on his chest and his hand on her stomach.
Days had passed and everybody had visited. All the children, her Uncle and Bessie, even some of the local residents of Lazy Town. Stephanie had been staying with Robbie while their uncle kept busy with the police and catching Rick Taylor. They caught up to him 2 days after she had been found trying to flee the island on the ferry. He had been sentenced for attempted rape, attempted murder, blackmail and kidnapping. He was sentenced to 60 years plus community service. Having had a quick trial he was already behind bars by the time she woke up.
Rebecca had been given 200 hours of community service and originally been ordered to leave Lazy Town. Once Sophie heard this she objected, she had even tried getting out of bed to march to the court house until the nurses had sedated her again.
Rebecca had visited under heavy guard of Robbie, Jackson( The other man) and Sportacus , she had cried and apologised repeatedly until Sophie took her hand in hers and pulled her into a hug, she didn't know if she would ever be her best friend again, not like before, but she was still her friend and she wanted her in her life.She didn't blame her. If somebody had said they would do something to Stephanie or lied to her to blackmail her into doing something, she would hsve done the same thing. Though from the looks of the guys in the room it would be a very long time until she would be allowed to be alone with her again.
She met Sportacus's dad, who was the older man who seemed to be a constant presence right now.He was lovely and excited to have her in his life, He and his wife had decided to move to Lazy Town, not as hero's but as general residents. Sportacus was over the moon. He had missed his parents extensively.
Bessie qnd Stephanie had been insanely excited about the baby, She and Sportacus had talked about it extensively the night before. They were both excited to welcome their little miracle into the world.
Life slowed down for Sophie once she left the hospital, Sportacus moved in officially though he still tethered the airship in the garden. He still kept up his hero duties but he also made sure to spend time with Sophie and getting ready for the baby. He and his dad built a crib and a highchair for later. His mother had taken Sophie shopping in the next town over (with a protesting Robbie as a bodyguard) to buy maternity and new born baby clothes.
Stephanie worked hard in school and started staying over more and more. At Christmas time she asked if she could call them both mum and dad all the time as she already did in her mind. Of course they agreed, and in turn when referring to her they called her their daughter.
Six months later, little Jack Robbie Meanswell was brought into the world at 6:32am on the 14th May 2013. He was a spitting image of his father, curly brown hair and baby blue eyes. He was stunning, and loved by everybody.Life was good.
