Spencer POV
I sat between the two beds. Riley on my left and Ben on my right. It was a mission to get them in the same room but my mom managed to. Ezra was still recovering. Its been 4 days and we still haven't heard anything from the doctor about Aria. "Hey," Toby whispered. I turned to see him standing by the door. "Hi," I smiled. "Your mom wants to see you," He said. I stood from my seat and kissed both the kids on their forehead after telling them that I will be back.
"Mom?" I questioned. "Ella told everyone to meet her in the conference room. Let's go," she said. Conference room? "Is everything okay?" I asked. "I'll explain when we get there." She said firmly. We got out the elevator and took the stairs to the conference room. "Now that everyone is here, we can begin," Ella said. Her eyes were red and she began sobbing. My mom held her hand and said something into her ear. She nodded and went outside. "Ella is in no state to do this. I will be taking over. We've asked you all to meet here because we have spoken to Arias doctor. They will take her off of life support if there aren't any signs of improvement within the next 72 hours." Her eyes started welling up with tears. I looked around and so did everyone elses. They waited to hear more. "The good news. Give us good news," Emily sniffled. "Em," My mom gave her a sad look. "On the other hand, Ezra is awake. The doctor kept this information from him. Peter and I will take care of Riley and Ben until Ezra is able to. The kids will be discharged today." My mom said. Toby pulled me close to him. "Hun. Let's take a walk," He said. Before I could object, he pulled me up and lead me to where Ella stood. Ella fell into my arms. We sobbed for an eternity. Toby tried to hush us but it was no use.
"Hey Aria." I held her hand. The doctor gave us all 10 minutes to spend with her before we had to leave. "I want you to know that I love you. You've been my strength for such a long time. And now, I will be yours. I will take care of Ezra for you. I will watch over the kids. I will do everything I can. Just please come back home. Please be okay. I hate seeing you this way. Please Aria." I held onto her for my life. Her body lay lifeless. Her heartbeat slow. "I wish I could give you my life. Take it. Just don't leave. Please." I begged. "Mrs. Cavanaugh," A nurse knocked on the door. I guess my time is up.
Back at the hastings household, everything was nothing less than chaotic. I stayed to help take care of Riley and Ben. Ella was still at the hospital, my mom decided to take the kids home. "Your mom is gonna be okay," I promised them, saying it more to myself. I smiled at Ben, who was on the play mat and looking up at the dangling toys. "Now eat up," I said while feeding Riley who was in her feeding chair. "Hey Spence," Melissa came in. She held her Hannas daughter in her arms. "Hey. Hi Sweetie," I smiled at Rhys. Rhys waved, "Hi Spency." "Bruce is alseep," Melissa said after placing Rhys on the ground. "How is he?" Spencer questioned about her son. "Toby spoke to him earlier. He misses you," "I'm here now, I'll see him when he wakes up. Thank you for watching them," I hugged Melissa.
The night was here before we knew it. Ben slept in my moms room, Melissa stayed over and took care of Riley. Bruce, Toby and I took my old bedroom. I turned to see that both Bruce and Toby were asleep before leaving to the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of wine and sat at the island. 12:15am and I couldn't get at least a minute of sleep. After downing my wine, I went over to the couch and dozed off.
I was awoken by noises upstairs. "Hunny," my mom came running down. "Mom?" I asked. She switched on the light. "It's Ella. Aria woke up," She smiled at me and ran to hug me. "We've got to go to the hospital." I said. I ran upstairs to Toby, "Babe. Wake up," I whispered and nudged him. "Hmmm? What's wrong?" He suddenly realised that I was fully awake. "Aria woke up. I'm going to the hospital," I told him while grabbing my coat from the closet. "What time is it?" He yawned and looked around the room. "5am," I sat on the bed and put on my shoes. "Will you be here with Bruce? My dad and Melissa might need help with the kids as well," I asked. He nodded, "Sure. Go, and be safe. I love you," I kissed him and left
"They're moving her to Welby. She's suffering from traumatic memory loss," Byron told us. "Hey. She's alive. That's better than anything else," I tried to be optimistic.
