Hidden Hearts Ranch

six months and it's not the end

Ian

Six months since she's opened those beautiful eyes of hers,six months since she saved us,six months since we heard her voice,six months since the underground learned of her mishap and we hear the hidden one is not happy about it, atlas has come and gone visiting his baby sister her father has not left her side stays at her house to be close so when she wakes. Six months since the birth of our kids it turns out she was right, Marc and I are the fathers of the first of many, we have named him much to our feelings of not having Sang help name them, we have two beautiful babies to care for so the eighteen of us take turns but we know they are waiting for their mother to wake up, in the time she was with Bjorn he manage to get some heavy drugs into her so her body was not up to par,it was enough to protect the babies. What ever he gave her was not to harm the babies,we just don't know what it was so for rhe purpose of helping her heal the drs has put her in a coma to let her body heal on its own. So with that they did C-section to remove the babies our son,my son was born first and we named him Ethan,perfect blend of his mother and I and Marc had a beautiful baby girl,looks like her momma but with marcs miss matched eyes, he named her Victoria. Both healthy but waiting for their momma to wake up, we being them to see her everyday and lay them next to her with us on the other side for their safety.  The drs have already woken her up but it's up to her now to wake up on her own, Sean has informed us that all brain activity is normal it's now up to her. So with that we managed to come into her room when we can sometimes its some.of us,sometimes it's all of us, her father has placed restrictions on visitors to the room and only certain people can be here without permission,  I just keep asking pumpkin to wake up and tell her about her children, anything that comes to mind, I have seen the others do it as well, I'm just not sure what she is waiting for, then I think about the Blackbourne team, and wonder if we everyone has apologized to her, and with that I convey my thoughts to Owen via text and he said he's on it and with that I just sit there with sang and Ethan on her chest. And kiss her fingers one by one waiting to be able to do that in the bedroom.

Owen

I how could I be so stupid,of all things not to do, after checking in with the boys, I am the only one not to apologize, I was waiting for her to wake up to do that. And I know we are all waiting for her to wake up to do a proper apology but all have done it one way or another even those that haven't spent anytime with her since we have been reunited with her. And with that I am headed to the hospital.

I get there to see Erica finishing up her vitals and she only conveys no changes Owen, but she's strong,she's a.survivor, and with that she leaves. I just sit by her bed looking at her, not knowing what to say I decide if I'm going to do this I need to be closer so only she can hear me and nobody else, so with that being careful of the wires that are still connected I climb up next to her and being her as close as possible while holding her hand,I poor out my feelings, apologize like I've never apologized before, I tell her she will always be it for me,I want know other, I don't care about her status above and in the underground,I don't care as long as I'm with her, that's all I need, I then leave a chaste kiss upon her lips. Kiss her temple and relax into the bed to sleep next to her, something I rarely had a chance to do because I was her teacher at Ashley waters. Didn't want anyone to know, and with that I drift off with sang in my arms.

Sang
My body is sore but I'm warm, all I see is darkness oh wait there's a light, I head towards it whatever it is it's like it's guiding me, my senses start to come back, I hear beep,beep,beep,so I know I must be in a hospital, then I notice my lips are dry, then I smell a familiar Irish spring soap smell, could it be, is he really hear,was his voice I heard, it's like he was guessing my soul back to the here and now, slowly,but surely my eyes are opening ouch that's a little bright, try again, ok that's better, I open them, take in my surroundings, but when I turn my head I look at the sight next to me, Owen with bags and dark circles under his eyes like he hasn't slept in months,still as handsome as ever, but today he is dressed well not like Owen but more like the 23 year old he is, wait 23, I look down at my stomach and it's small again the babies,where are the babies, I must of been panicking because the machines are going crazy and while far away I hear Owen trying to ground me, he finally gets though to me to calm me down, the one word I croak out is babies, he tells me they are fine and the boys are bringing them down, he gives some water and continues to update me and answer any questions I have,the first one to enter my room upon hearing me awake is my daddy and we embrace like daughters and their fathers are supposed to. Gives me a lecture on not doing that again ,blah,blah you know know the speech,next comes my Italian brothers my uncle's, wow they left their countries to.be here with me, then I see my grandfather from Greece another bear hug, do all my elders of my family hug like this, cause I know I have more to meet apparently. Then comes atlas and with a smile we just know, but what surprises me most is the man next to him that looks exactly like him, I must look like a sight, with my jaw dropped,Atlas tells me that his name is Leif and that he is our missing brother apparently we were triplets, they go on to tell me that we were separated for a reason, I got Ireland, atlas got Greece and Leif apparently got the Nordic regions. Grandfather tells us their is one more older than us same father different mother,but has yet to show himself. He says do to our background and ancestry it was safer to separate us, when it was discovered that my mother was to have triplets each of us was to be raised by another member of the family,oh I was supposed to be raised and stay with our mother,only to run into complications at birth. So by the time I came around my father didn't know about the boys and only took me. After herin that story with Owen by myside, that is when the rest of my boys entered the room,each giving me their own greeting and hello, and Ian and Marc both presented me with our children, Ethan and Victoria and I couldn't be any happier than I am now with my family with me. What we didn't know was the true darkness was watching and waiting.
