Someone to Live For
Chapter 3
Lucky watched outside of Elizabeth's room, as they were working on her. He couldn't lose her, she meant everything to him. They just got married; they were supposed to be on their honeymoon.
Dr. Jones walked out of the room.
'How's
she?" Lucky asked, anxiously.
Dr.Jones looked at Lucky. "We were able to save her, but if it happens again, I..."
Lucky didn't want to hear the rest of the sentence, he knew that Elizabeth was going to make it. She had too much to live for to not.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Lucky asked, as he grabbed her hand, and sat down on the chair.
Dr. Jones was looking through the window when Bobbie walked up to him.
"Elizabeth's not doing good, is she?"
Tony turned around. "If she doesn't wake up soon, there isn't much we can."
"I
know, Tony. But Elizabeth is
a fighter. She's going to wake up, I know it," Bobbie said, as
she walked into the room, and put her arm on Lucky's shoulder.
"Lucky."
"Bobbie," Lucky said, with a tear falling down her cheeks, "She's going to wake up soon. I know, she wouldn't leave me."
Bobbie nodded. "Elizabeth's the bravest person that I have ever met; she has been through a lot in her life, that's why I know that she will wake up,"
Lucky smiled. "Yes she will. She has to," he said, as he kissed her forehead. He then climbed into the bed and lay down to her.
"I love her too much to lose her, Aunt Bobbie."
"I know," Bobbie said, as she smiled at Lucky.
"Are you sure you don't want to go home. You have been here since she first arrived in the hospital. You must be exhausted."
Lucky shook his head. "I'm not leaving this hospital without my wife," he said, as he touched her face.
Bobbie smiled. "I know that, but I can stay here for a while, if you want to go home for a while and get some rest."
"Thanks," Lucky said, with a smile, "But I'm fine right where I am."
"I understand," Bobbie said, as she waved goodbye to Lucky and turned off the lights. Lucky then moved closer to Elizabeth, and put his arms around her. He then laid his head on her chest.
"I love you, Elizabeth. You need to come back to me," he said, as he started to drift off to sleep.
Elizabeth was
lying on the ground. "Elizabeth." Zander called out to
her.
"Wake up." She then suddenly woke up and looked at him. "What happened?"
"You nearly die in the real world," Zander explained. "That's why the wind started here, as you are losing time."
"I don't get this," Elizabeth said. "Why won't I wake up?"
Zander and Elizabeth moved over to the bench. "You have been through a lot, Liz. The only way that you are going to be able to go back to the real world is if you see your future."
"Does this mean that is what is going to happen to me in the future?" Elizabeth asked.
Zander laughed. "No, Liz. This is just a dream; it's what you want. Lucky is keeping you alive, but he can't do it all. You have to wake up. Our son needs you."
"I know Zander, but I feel so weak," Elizabeth said.
Zander nodded, as he grabbed Elizabeth's hand.
"You have to keep going. Our son and Lucky needs you."
Elizabeth smiled at Zander. "I didn't think that you cared about Lucky that much."
"I don't, but it's my job to make sure that you get back," Zander said.
"What are you my guardian angel?" Elizabeth said, with a laugh.
"Of course not, I'm just here to help you," Zander said.
Elizabeth then looked up. "Is that something in the future?"
Zander nodded. Elizabeth listened as she watched it. It brought a smile to her face, as she watched herself holding her new baby with Lucky by her side. It was a baby girl. A baby girl with Lucky, it was everything that she dreamt of. She always wanted to have a baby with Lucky.
Elizabeth turned to Zander. "So you are saying that if I don't wake up, I'm not going to have this... I'm never going to be able to have a baby with Lucky?"
"Of course if you are dead, you can't." Zander said, with a laugh.
Elizabeth looked at Zander. "I want to be a family with Lucky, Cameron and many other babies, I don't want to die, I want to wake up."
"Now, that's the Elizabeth that always knew." Zander said, as he started to disappeared.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
He smiled. "It's time for me to go." he said.
"Take care of Cameron," Zander said, as he disappeared. Elizabeth sighed.
"What I am supposed to do now?"
"Liz, come with me," said a voice. Elizabeth looked up and saw Lucky in the distance.
"I'm coming, Lucky."
The next morning, Laura
walked into Elizabeth's room, and saw Lucky lying on the bed next
to
Elizabeth.
"Good morning," she said.
Lucky looked up. "Mom," he said.
Laura sat down on the chair. "How's she doing?"
Lucky shook his head. "I almost lost her last night."
Laura hugged Lucky. "I'm so sorry. You should have called me; I would have come by to be here for you."
"I know you would, but it was fine." Lucky said.
"So how are you doing, mom?"
Laura smiled. "I'm doing pretty well. I'm on my way to see my therapist called Dr. Winters. This is my first time seeing her, but my therapist recommends her."
Lucky nodded. "She was at the site of the train wreak. She seems to be a nice person. She was the first one that checked on Elizabeth when we got out of the cave."
Lucky looked at Laura. "So where are you staying? With dad?" Lucky asked. He could tell by the look on her face, that he shouldn't have asked that question.
"I shouldn't have asked you, I'm sorry." Lucky said.
Laura looked at Lucky. "Don't be afraid to ask me questions, because you are worried about how I will react. I stayed with my mom, and Lulu."
Lucky smiled. "Lulu must be so happy to see you."
"Well she is having a hard time dealing with everything. It's going to take her some time, but I can wait, I'm not going anywhere. " Laura said, as she turned to Lucky.
"I know that your father married Tracy. I never expected him to wait for me. I never thought that would marry a Quartermine though."
"He doesn't love her. Mom, he loves you." Lucky said.
Laura smiled at Lucky. "I'm sure your father does love me, but right now it is the best time to get into a relationship with your father. All I care about is being here for my kids, and then I will decide what I want to do about your father."
Lucky hugged Laura. "I'm just glad that you are home. You are going to have come by and see me and Elizabeth's apartment, it's not that big, but it's our home."
Laura smiled. "I love to as soon as Elizabeth gets out of the hospital."
Lucky smiled. "She is going to wake up, isn't she?"
"Of course she will. I heard from my mom, that you were in the hospital a few months ago, and they didn't think that you were going to wake up, but you did," Laura said.
"Yeah after dad pulled the plug on me, hoping that I would wake up."
"Your father did what?" Laura said, confused.
"I was mad at him first too, but I understand why he did it now. I'll explain it all to you later. It's doesn't really matter now," Lucky said.
Laura smiled. "I see there is a lot, that I see don't know that has been happening while I've been gone."
"Don't worry we'll all fill in it for you." Lucky said, as he hugged his mom.
"All you need to know is that we all missed you and are so glad that you are better."
Laura looked at the time. "I need to go to my appointment. I'll come by and see you later," she said, as she hugged him, and then left the room.
Lucky walked back to Elizabeth's bedside, and sat down next to her, and grabbed her hand.
"I love you so much." Then suddenly Lucky saw that Elizabeth had opened her eyes.
"Elizabeth.." Lucky said, with a smile. "You're awake!"
He ran as fast as he could out of the room, and called for a doctor.
"My wife is awake!" he yelled, with this big smile on his face. He couldn't believe it, that Elizabeth was awake. He knew that she wouldn't leave him.
Dr. Jones came running towards Lucky. "Did I just hear that Elizabeth is awake?"
Lucky nodded, as he walked into the room, Dr. Jones turned to Lucky. "Wait outside while I checked her out."
Lucky nodded, as he watched Dr. Jones checking Elizabeth out.
A few minutes later, Dr. Jones came out of the room, Lucky could tell by the look on his face that it wasn't good news.
"What's wrong?" Lucky asked, anxiously. "Is something wrong with Elizabeth?"
Tony looked at Lucky. "We don't know exactly yet how this happened. We are going to do some tests to find."
"Find out what?" Lucky asked.
"Why Elizabeth lost her voice. She can't speak."
