loving again

~45~

Cameron's POV

I wake up, startled. Where am I? Oh yeah. Beth is in the hospital. Beth is in the hospital.

"Hey Babe. Your awake!" She chirps.

I can't help but smile.

"I don't care if you don't remember. We're still getting married." I tell her, walking next to her.

"Perfect." She smiles.

I grab her face and start kissing her. She's mine. Only mine.

After a few minutes, I pull away.

"I love you Baby." I tell her.

"I love you Babe." She says.

Then her face starts to get pale. Her eyes lose their color. The machines start going off.

"Beth? No! DON'T LEAVE ME! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" I yell, as the nurses drag me out.

I cry into Nash's shoulder. No. I sob.

After probably 10 minutes, the doctor comes out.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Dallas. There wasn't anything we could do." He tells me.

I lose it. I start sobbing, uncontrollably.

"NO! NO!" I start punching the wall.

"NO! NO!"

"CAMERON!"

I sit up, sweating. I'm laying in bed next to Beth. She's crying.

"Baby?"

"What's wrong Babe? You've been screaming. I-I couldn't wake you up. I didn't know what to do!" She cries.

I pull her in and hug her. I notice all the guys are here, and looked relieved.

"What's going on?" I ask, confused of what's real, and what isn't.

"Well, tomorrow is one week till you two get married. The wedding party is planning on going out and celebrating." Matt explains.

"What about.." I can't say her name.

"Delia? She's with your parents, Cam. Is everything okay?" Nash asks.

"She's alive? She's okay?" I ask, sighing with relieve.

"Of course she's alive. What was in your dream, babe?" Beth asks.

"It was a nightmare. There was an accident. Delia died and we both lost our memory. Then we found out, and- and." I stutter. "You died, Beth. I lost both my girls. That can't happen. It can't." I say, pulling her into my chest.

"It's okay. I'm right here." she reassures me.

"Can we please go see Delia? I won't be able to go asleep without seeing her." I tell Beth.

"Yeah. Let's go."

"Thanks guys." I tell them.

"It's no problem." Carter speaks up.

"No. For everything. I don't know what I would do without you guys. And thank you for helping Beth, I really appreciate it." I tell them.

"Bro hug!" Matt yells, pulling us all in together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thanks Mom." I say, when we enter her house. I had Nash call and tell her what happened while Beth and I drove to come see Dee Dee.

"It's okay Cam. Are you okay?" She asks.

"Yeah. Come on, Beth. Come see her with me." I tell her. She nods and we walk in he guest room.

I walk over to the bed and see her sleeping body.

I kneel next to the bed, and stroke my fingers through her hair.

After 5 minutes, she stirs awake. She turns around and looks at me. Her eyes go wide.

"Daddy? Mommy? Why are you here?" She asks, in her sleepy voice.

"Daddy was worried about you Baby. Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah. I'm fine, Daddy. You don't have to worry!" She assures me.

"How come you were worried, Daddy?" She asks, another question.

"I had a bad dream. You were in it. It felt so real... I had to check on you." I tell me 5 year old daughter.

"It's okay Daddy. It was hair a dream." She says and hugs me.

"I love you Dee Dee." I tell her.

"I love you too, Daddy," she replies. Then she pulls away.

"Come on, Mommy. You have to join the hug!" She cheers.

"Okay baby!" Beth says, and we all hug.

"I love my girls."
