-Part 3-
Adam awoke the next morning to find Abbie sleeping peacefully beside him. He let out a sigh of relief at seeing how much better she seemed. She stirred slightly before opening her eyes and smiling at him.
"Good morning." she said, smiling at him as if nothing had ever been wrong.
"Abbie." he said, brushing some of her blonde hair away from her face, "I almost lost you." She could see the worry in his eyes, a rare thing for Adam. She touched her fingertips gently to his face.
"But, you didn't. I'm alright, Adam." she said. He sighed and kissed her lips. After they broke the kiss, he touched his forehead against hers, placing a hand gently on her cheek.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." he said, smiling.
"Alright. I'll try not to." she said, smiling back at him.
"I... know I don't tell you this enough, but... I love you, Abbie." he said.
"It's alright. I already know it. I love you, too, Adam." she said. Adam sat up and got out of bed. Abbie started to get out of bed, but Adam put his hands on her shoulders, sitting her back down.
"No, you're not going anywhere. You still need to rest." he said.
"Adam." she said.
"Don't give me that. You need to stay here and rest." Adam said.
"But, what about breakfast?" Abbie said, "Your father and brothers are probably waiting for us."
"I'm going to bring your breakfast up to you." Adam said.
"Oh, come on, Adam." she protested, "I told you, I'm fine." Adam sighed.
"Come on. Just humor me, alright." he said, touching her cheek. Abbie finally smiled.
"Alright. I'll let you wait on me. Just this once." she said.
"Thank you." he said, kissing her lips before leaving the room.
