Falling For My Exchange Brother | B... - Chapter 59: Chapter 59

"Are you going to the hospital?" Bella asks me as I went to the car. I end up nodding, leaning against Arthur's car.
"Yes...I didn't go yesterday like I said I would. I was too exhausted - not to mention I was exhausted. It's kicked in to me now what I've done to my hair... I regret it dearly." I snort, shaking my head.
"It seemed like it." She teases me only for me to grin awkwardly. "Also, sorry about Talia. She's being ridiculous considering she's dating me... I knew she liked Arthur, but not this much."
I try to keep myself from rolling my eyes, resting my hand on my stomach. I was happy we didn't have to do the surrogacy. Because if we did it was a way for her to stay in our lives forever...as well as our child's.
"Yeah, I've been known. She hates me even more because I'm holding his child. I think she wanted that honor." I snort as I start the car with the remote.
"She's...I'll talk to her. She's being ridiculous. Arthur never had her in his mind. He fell in love with you as soon as he saw you...I think the same goes for you as well." Bella smirks at me, and I shrug shyly. "Well, I'll let you go. I'll keep watching the twins with Nathan. Tell me how things go."
I nod, getting in the car as she heads back inside. That's when I drive out the garage and begin to head to the hospital he's in.
They requested I come yesterday...but I couldn't. My body practically collapsed yesterday. It was feeling the weight of everything at once and it wouldn't allow me to move.
So I abided and didn't really do much. I ate a lot, but I still am feeling the weight I lost. Arthur would be furious with me if he saw me like this...
I try to not dwell on that. Because I know he won't be happy...if he ever wakes up. It's up to Arthur to press charges against the person who crashed into him, but since he's not dead...the person can't be charged for anything big. Just for drunk driving, but it's worse than that!
If he...doesn't wake up I will make sure the dude never walks free. If he does I will make his life hell- I promise.
That's when I found myself motivated further. I drove faster because I wanted to see him. I'd be fine with him...just lying there. At least I could see him.
What I needed was him. As long as I see him...I've somewhat come to the terms that that'll have to do for now. It's better than him being dead.
Also risking my death too.
I have to be there for the twins though. I've thought extensively and if Arthur dies...they will need me. Not to mention the baby I'm having with him.
Thinking about such things scares me, but I hope it won't come to that. It...it can't come to that. I love him too much.
He truly helps me stay sane...honestly. I'm nothing without him.
Just a shell of my older self, and I refuse to go back to that. Though I know I possibly will...if things turn out to be worse and not...better.
Before I know it I was already parked at the hospital. Walking into the hospital, right into an elevator. My eyes were lowered to the ground, my hands going into my jacket pockets.
I wore a baggy jacket because I didn't want anyone seeing me...noticing how much weight I lost. Not to mention the hair is a huge change.
Once I was off the elevator I started to walk to Arthur's room. Though it was apparent there was something going on.
Too many people were going in and out. I saw a doctor I haven't seen for some time even walking out of there. It had me wonder what was wrong.
He continued to just stand there for some time as if he was waiting for someone. There was this look of bewilderment present...making me become nervous.
I start to walk a little closer, and that's when he finally notices me. He looked a little hesitant at first, but when I nod he grins.
"Mr. Moretti?"
I walk closer to him, and once I was near the door I tried looking inside. Only for him to try and block me. A little annoyance came over me from him doing so.
"Why can't I see him?" I question him, and I know you could hear the annoyance in my voice.
"I just want to warn you of what you're about to walk into." He warns, having me become irritated and afraid as I shoved my way through.
That's when I walk into the room. All the five doctors eyes on Arthur, and I soon saw why as I saw him...sitting up. His eyes open and looking at me.
I felt this excitement fill my chest and I couldn't help myself as I rushed to him. My body pulling itself onto his bed and I hugged him tightly. I knew I was crying because I missed him...just for him to be sitting up - eyes open.
"Arthur I...I missed you." I found myself hiccuping - waiting for his arms to wrap around me and hug me back.
Only to be pulled back and looking at the doctor who dare touch me at this moment. Though when I looked back at Arthur he looked...the same. He didn't even look at...me like he had a conscience.
He stared at...nothing. The way he was looking and staring startled me because the last time I saw him he was still his coma. He was silent and I never knew he'd wake up like this... The one day I decide to sleep at home, I come back to this.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask worriedly, the doctor - I saw outside the door - looking nervous.
"It appears that he was in a induced coma for about two weeks and a little bit more; but we are now trying to see if he suffered any brain damage. So far..." He states, that's when he nods at a nurse.
The nurse stood in front of Arthur, holding a clipboard.
"Blink 4 times for me Arthur." I hear a nurse say; but he continues to stare off. His body almost swaying and he didn't react at all. "I'll make it easier, two times?"
He continued to be still, and I look away.
"He's so far not responding to anyone and I am afraid he may have some brain damage, it's highly probable to the lack of...everything."
I shake my head, walking to the bed as I sat beside him. Looking at him deeply, he continued to stare off. I knew I had tears streaming down my cheeks; but I didn't care who saw because the one I love the most is hurt like this...!
"Arthur...mon amour...Arthur..." I whisper, my voice cracking as he didn't respond. It just continued to be quiet in here. No one saying a word as I sat still.
Grabbing his hand, I squeezed it gently. Him continuing to stay still and I watched the way he went forward a little.
"Arthur..." I say a little louder, standing and pushing people out my way. Standing right where his line of vision seemed to be. Everyone was to the side of him and I wanted to do this my way...try to at least.
Waving my arms around helplessly, he continued to stare. Looking away, I walk to the window as I wipe my eyes. Crying silently because I don't understand how this has to be us - why it had to be him.
We were fucking happy and it's like we aren't allowed to be. It's unfair and it's wrong. Not to mention the baby...he can't miss that chance with me.
"Mr. Moretti! Look!"
I look over my shoulder, the doctor pointing at Arthur. Having me look at him, his eyes were on me. Almost having me go pale because it was like a doll was staring at me.
"Walk." The doctor ordered, and I walked to him. My eyes on Arthur's as they followed mine. Not letting go of my stare and it seemed like he was pulling through.
"Ask him to blink however many times he can 1-4."
I look away, immediately looking to Arthur again as I sit on the other side of him. On the other side away from the doctors. Seeing him look at me, I smile lovingly. Knowing that it was probably the most broken smile I've ever given, and I wondered if he could tell...
"Arthur, blink for me - please. One - for you understand me and what is going on. Two - for you're okay. Three...for you're happy to see me. Then four...for that you love me as much as I love you. You miss our baby and...looking forward to what's to come with them, blink even more." I murmur, and I watch him continue to stare.
Finding myself biting my lip, he just stared. I watched as his head began to cock slowly - like how he used to. His eyes blinking once.
A grin coming onto my face, I watched a second blink. Another blink a third time. Then he stopped, knowing that I could take that. As long as he was blinking, I was fine.
Until he blinked a fourth and a fifth. Blinking more and I smiled happily. Chuckling as I squeezed his hand, and he stopped. Knowing he understood me, I looked to the doctor who nodded.
"Looks like he can hear you, wonder if he was purposely ignoring us..." I hear him mumbling the last part, smirking at Arthur who blinked four times again. "William is it okay if you can communicate with me real quick?"
I nod, standing as I let go of his hand. Only to feel my hand be grabbed again. I look at the hand that grabbed mine. His eyes looking distraught and looking around here in fear. Watching as his lips twitched, I saw them trying to form something.
Seeing him in this stare made my eyes well up into tears again - because he didn't deserve this. It should've been me but I wouldn't want him suffering either with me being in this state.
"N-n-n-n-not...not...not..." He began to say, and I watched him shake his head slowly. "Not l-l-lea-leave."
That's when I sat down quickly, seeing him grin slowly. My heart racing as I watched his other hand move. His finger pressing to his lips, seeing him blink four times again.
Taking the pleasure in standing and pressing my lips to his. Kissing him slowly, he began to move with me. I knew that this was probably not the easiest thing for him. I also didn't care that others were around.
Because I've been wanting to kiss him for far too long. Nothing is going to hold me back now.
I pull away from him with my eyes settled on him. His eyes softening on me, and I could see the Arthur from before...
"Oh yeah, what did you want to tell me?" I say to the doctor, not wanting to remove my eyes from Arthur's.
"What is his first language?" He asks me.
"Ah...French I believe, why?"
"Because. It seems that he may have lost most of the lessons of English he has learned. He may have broken English - did he ever have broken English?" He questions me and I nod.
Found myself looking at Arthur as he looked bothered. Probably by the doctor's words, but I actually...was looking forward to this.
His broken English was so cute.
"I...I don't mind. I'll help him along the way - how do you feel about that Arthur?" I murmur to him. A smile coming to my lips when I saw him trying to think about how he'd say things.
Frustration coming to his face, he sighs.
"Not good. I in slight hurt." He groans, frowning. "My English like before - it so bad."
"No, it's so cute." I gush to him, seeing him grin at me.
"You not annoyed?"
I wrap my arms around his waist, hugging myself to his chest.
"Of course not... I have you back - the last thing I am feeling is annoyed. I missed you Arthur...I love you." I whimper because I felt myself about to cry.
"I love you too William. I think...of twins and you - you keep me going." He says to me, and I couldn't help but cry.
He is my life source. Now he can be there with me, the twins...our unborn baby. I haven't been this happy in a long time.
Now things can start to go back to normal... I hope, but if he sees what I look like under this baggy jacket he'll be upset. Not to mention he hasn't said anything about my hair yet...
My hair grows fast, but still.
I know I will have to show him at some point, but I want to be positive right now. For him...I feel too much happiness to be afraid or worried even.
"I'm just happy you're with me now...I missed you and I needed you - now I have you back..." I murmur, grinning as I pull back and make eye contact with him.
"Oui...mon amour."
