BLAKE's POV

Tears kept on falling from my eyes while we're on our way to the hospital. We used my car and Kelly was the one driving because I knew I couldn't drive properly because of my current state. Oh God! Please, save Enrique because I wouldn't be able to survive life without him...

I kept on praying hard. My hands were entwined together tightly. My body was trembling because of fear and worry for Enrique.

"Stop it, Blake. He's going to be fine" I heard Kelly said without looking at me while trying her best to concentrate on driving. I bit my lower lip when a whimper escaped my lips.

"T-This is my fault"

"What are you talking about? Whatever happened to Enrique was nobody's fault! Don't blame yourself" Kelly's voice has a hint of anger but could tell that she's worried too.

"You don't understand..." She threw me a glance before she maneuvered to the right shoulder of the road and stopped the car. She then faced me with a scowl.

"Can you explain to me why are you blaming yourself right now?" I looked down as my tears fell like a waterfall.

"H-He came by this morning a-and asked me for a date but I-I declined. Maybe, if I said y-yes, this wouldn't've happened to him" I said while sobbing. I heard Kelly tsked before she held my shoulders and made me look at her.

"Listen to me, Blake. Whatever happened to Enrique, it's not your fault! If there's someone to blame, it's me. I asked for your time and you chose to be with me rather than being with Enrique. I'm sorry" I shook my head vigorously.

"No, Kelly! It's not your fault. It's just that I said yes to you first. I-I knew you h-had a problem and I wanted to be with you. I've thought of going to Enrique after I get to talk to you but this thing happened to him. If something bad happened to him...I would never forgive myself, Kelly" She heaved a sigh and pulled me for an embrace.

I cried on her on chest for I didn't know how long before I finally pulled myself together.

"Are you sure you're okay now?" Kelly asked as she stared at my belly.

"Don't get emotional too much, Blake. Think about your baby. You know this is not good for you. You need to be strong" My hands automatically went to my belly and caressed it.

"I'm sorry, baby that mommy's like this" I cried. But then I quickly wiped the tears off.

"Let's go, Kelly. I want to see Enrique as soon as possible" Kelly nodded and started the engine. Shortly after that, we continued on driving towards the hospital.

______♥♥♥_____

When we arrived at the hospital, Enrique was still at the operating room. I didn't know how long we waited for the door to open before a man in a white uniform came out of the OR.

"How are you related to the patient?" The doctor asked me when he approached us.

"I'm his wife, doctor" My voice was trembling including my whole body but I tried not to breakdown. I needed to be strong for my husband.

"I'm sorry but he's in a coma right now. We did everything we could but this is inevitable. He's lucky that he survived" I shook my head as tears fell from my eyes.

"N-No...No..." Was all I could utter. My brain felt like it stopped functioning and my body went numb. My legs were trembling. My world was suddenly spinning. I heard a woman's voice, shouting of pain. Then I realized that that was my voice. I kept on calling Enrique's name. I felt Kelly hugging me and was trying to make me calm down but I kept of thrashing and screaming until my body and mind finally gave in and lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I found myself on the hospital bed. I quickly sat up and was about to get off the bed when Kelly stopped me.

"Blake, you need to calm down! Acting like this won't help Quen now! You must become strong!" She rebuked, almost shouting at me. I burst out crying again. Even though I tried my best not to cry anymore, I couldn't. Just thinking that Enrique might won't wake up again almost made me stop breathing.

"I know this is hard for you but you need to stop crying! You fell unconscious a while ago because of so much emotion and that affected your baby. The doctor said that you must avoid getting depressed at all cost because if this continues, you might lose another baby again" Fear suddenly crept up throughout my entire body. I unconsciously hugged my tummy, as if hugging my baby. I'm so sorry, baby. Promise, I won't let something bad happen to you! Losing your twin was hard enough. I'll fight for you, baby. Please, stay strong for mommy and daddy...

I wiped my tears and gathered all my strength to calm myself down and stopped myself from crying.

"I-I want to see Enrique" I managed to say while hiccupping because of so much crying while ago. Kelly nodded her head and helped me stand up from the bed.

"I can manage, Kelly. Thank you" I stood up straight and then strode my way towards the door with Kelly walked alongside me. She still looked worried about me but she didn't say a thing.

"Where is his room?"

"He's in the ICU" Kelly answered quietly. I bit my lower lip and took a deep breath, to lessen the heavy feeling I have in my chest.

When we reached the ICU, I unconsciously held Kelly's hand. My heart was thumping like a drum and my steps slowed down.

"We're here" I heard Kelly informed me. I looked at the room. The beating of my heart became even faster than before and it was harder to breath.

"Unfortunately, they only allow one visitor and It must be the closest relative only" I nodded my head.

Kelly informed the nurse who was on duty there that I would like to visit my husband and the nurse guided me inside. She made me wore lab gown, lab cap and a mask before she led me to where Enrique was lying. When we were inside, I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I was looking down while biting my lip in a painful manner.

"You only have 30 minutes to talk to him" She informed me before she left me alone with Enrique. I didn't know how long I was standing there until I finally had the courage to tilt my head up and looked at him.

Even though I promised myself not to cry anymore, it was impossible. When I saw the state of Enrique with a lot of tubes sticking out of his body, I burst out into tears. I cupped my mouth with my hand in order to trap my sobs.

Even though I felt like all my strength left me, I slowly approached him and held his hand with my trembling hands and kissed it.

"E-Enrique...I'm here. Y-Your Angel eyes is here. I'm sorry that I didn't say yes to you when you asked me for a movie date this morning. I-I'm sorry that I let my negative emotions ruled me and neglect you. I'm sorry...Please, wake up. I'm here now. I-I won't leave you ever again...Just come back to me...I can't live without you...I need you...Our baby needs you"

I cried while I kept on kissing the back of his hand. I wanted to hug him so much, to make him feel my warmth and presence but I couldn't. He looked so fragile with bandages around his head, and his right leg. He also has a neck brace.

"You said this morning that the thing I was going to do was more important than you but you're wrong. Nothing in this world is more important to me than you. I'm sorry that I was stubborn and didn't explain to you but believe me, I was going to see you after it but you got into accident. I'm sorry" I continued. I made sure to talk a little bit loud so that he could clearly hear me.

I continued talking to him until my 30 minutes of visiting time lapsed. I gently kissed his cheek and whispered how much I loved him before I went out of his room.

I quickly saw Kelly waiting for me while sitting on one of the chairs at corner of the hallway. She was talking to someone on the phone so I decided not to approach her yet. She looked mad but when she noticed me watching her, her face mellowed.

She then ended the call and stood up to approach me.

"How's Enrique?" She asked. I wanted to ask her who was she talking to a while ago and why she looked mad but when she mentioned Enrique's name, I quickly forgot about it. I smiled bitterly.

"He looked nothing like the Enrique I know. He looked so weak and totally not the intimidating Enrique" I said with an almost inaudible voice. I heard heaved a sigh.

"Knowing him, he's going to make it through this. He's already went through a lot. He's a strong person and I know he loves you too much to leave you just like that. I know he'll fight so you should too. Stay strong so that when Enrique wakes up, you could greet him with a smile" I couldn't help but to smile at her.

"Thank you, Kelly, for always being there for me. You're really my best friend" She chuckled.

"Of course. We're best friends, after all" We hugged each other. Thank God. She's here to comfort me.

______♥♥♥_____

I looked at my phone. I was having a second thought if I would call Enrique's parents or not but then I chose the first one. They deserve to know what happened to their son.

I took a deep breath before I pressed the call button. It took three rings before someone picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mrs. Dixon—" I bit my lower lip. I couldn't call her 'mom' even if I wanted to. We haven't seen each other since the kidnapping incident.

"it's Blake" I continued. There was a deafening silence. She didn't dare speak so I decided to spill the reason why I called her before I lose the courage to do so.

"E-Enrique's in the hospital right now. He had an accident"

"What?! Oh my God! Tell me he's fine, Blake! Oh God!" She said hysterically. I bit my lower lip.

"He's in a coma" I managed to say and I heard her gasped before she burst out crying.

"He's here at Saint Jude's Hospital" I informed her. She kept on crying until she ended the call without saying goodbye.

After that call, Kelly and I decided to go home and just come back tomorrow again because the vising hours was already over.

I dropped Kelly at the park to get her car then we went to our separate ways.

When I arrived home, my mother quickly noticed that something was wrong with me. I told her everything and she was shocked of the news. I could see her eyes watered with tears before she hugged me tightly.

______♥♥♥_____

That night, I was tossing and turning on my bed. I couldn't sleep at all. I could feel that I was emotionally drained and tired but they're not enough to make me sleep. My mind was full of Enrique. I knew it was bad for me to be like this but it was so difficult not to think about him and not get worried of his condition.

He's my husband and I love him. Seeing him like that was almost unbearable enough and just by thinking that something bad might happen to him was almost killing me.

But even though I was having a hard time seeking sleep, I tried my best to because I knew my baby would be affected if I didn't get a single wink of sleep.

I tried picturing my happy memories with Enrique and told to myself that he would be okay. I knew, he would. I just have to believe in him. He promised that he wouldn't leave me again and I knew he would fight.

Thinking those precious memories with him made my mind and body relaxed and the worry in me disappeared until I finally fell asleep.

When the morning came, I quickly got out of the bed and ate breakfast. After that, I went back to my room and did my morning hygiene routine.

When I finally prepped myself up, I went downstairs just to find my mother waiting for me at the living room. I thought she already left to work.

"Let's go together to the hospital" She said quietly.

"What about your work, mom?"

"I took a 3-day vacation" My eyebrows creased.

"What for, mom?" She approached me and held my hand.

"To be with you, what else? I know you need someone right now and I am here" I couldn't help but smile and hugged her.

"Thanks, mom"

______♥♥♥_____

When we arrived at the hospital, we went directly to Enrique's room. My mom got sad when he saw Enrique.

"Don't worry, Blake. I'm sure that Enrique will wake up soon. Don't lose hope. He's fighting for his life now and as his wife, you must stay strong" My mom said.

"I know, mom. Kelly told me the same and you two were right. I must stop crying because I need to be strong for him, for us" She patted my shoulder with a smile. We're outside the ICU room while gazing at Enrique through the acrylic see-through mirror because we couldn't go inside together.

"Go on inside, sweetheart. Your husband is waiting for you" I nodded my head and went inside the room alone. I gently kissed his forehead.

"I'm here again, Enrique to tell you that I am going to wait for you. I promise that I'll be here by your side when you wake up. I know you're strong that's why I believe that you can get through this. Come back to me, baby. Please don't make me wait any longer" I said and held his hand.

I continued talking to him, hoping that he could hear every word I was saying. After that, I went out of his room and searched for my mom but I was shocked when I saw that she was with someone and that someone was Enrique's mom. Then I saw Mr. Dixon too, quietly standing behind his wife.

I could sense the thick air that surrounding them. Nobody was talking and so I was. I remained standing there, didn't know what to do.

"Enrique's room is there, you can go see him. Anyway, I'm going on ahead" My mom said before she looked at my direction and then walked away. I was about to go after her when Mrs. Dixon approached me.

"H-Hello, Mr. Dixon, and Mrs. Dixon" I greeted them, trying my best to appear fine in front of them.

"You can call us mom and dad, Blake. You're our son's wife. Anyway, we're just going to see our son first" Mr. Dixon informed me and patted my shoulder before he walked towards Enrique's ICU suite.

I thought Mrs. Dixon would follow her husband right away but she remained standing in front of me. I looked down because I kinda felt awkward around her.

"Blake, can we talk after I see my son?" I raised my head and looked at her. I was surprised that she didn't look angry at me at all. Her expression was sad but there was more to it that I couldn't pinpoint.

"Please?" I was surprised again. Did she just say 'please'?

I gulped inaudibly and then nodded my head.

"Okay" She smiled before she left me and followed her husband. I sat on one of the chairs at the hallway and waited for them.

______♥♥♥_____

I stared at Mrs. Dixon in front of me. She wasn't the same woman I last saw who was so mad at my family.

It's been 10 minutes since we arrived here at the café in front of the hospital but nobody dared to open a topic. I felt so uneasy and nervous. Whatever she wanted to tell me must be very important. Mr. Dixon was still at the hospital and didn't come with us.

When our order came, she quickly sipped on her coffee before she heaved a deep sigh. I prepared myself for whatever she wanted to tell me but this time, I managed to ready myself. I will make her understand that I won't ever leave her son because I love him, I told to myself.

If she wanted to tell me to leave Enrique again, I will do everything to fight.

"Blake..." I looked at her but didn't say anything in return.

"I-I wanted to talk to you ever since you came out of the hospital months ago but Enrique didn't allow me to and told me to stay away. I knew that you two were mad at me that time, enough for Quen to push me away, so respected his decision. But now, I think this is the right time for me to have a proper talk with you" She heaved a sigh again, like she was gathering all her strength to say whatever she wanted to tell me.

"I wanted to talk to you because I want to tell you how sorry I am for all the things that I did and said to you. I was so blinded with my rage that I failed to see what's right and wrong. I became selfish that I neglected to notice that I am hurting even my own son. Please, forgive me, Blake" I was stunned because I didn't expect her to tell me all those words; that she would accept her mistakes and even asked for my forgiveness.

My mouth parted to respond but I couldn't form any words to say. I almost jumped out of my seat when she suddenly held my hand as she stared at me with teary eyes.

"I know that it's hard for you to forgive me, not just because I said mean things to you but because I planned something against you and I am so sorry for that. It's already late when I realized that you didn't do anything wrong. You are not your father and whatever he did in the past has nothing to do with you. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me; if not now, I am willing to wait for that time. I just want you to know that I regret all the things that I did and said to you. I know you're a good person and my son is lucky to have you. Please, take care of him and love him" While she was saying those words, I was just listening to her, overwhelmed with the situation.

I didn't know how to react at all until she left me there alone.

She already left for about 10 minutes already but I was still on my seat, trying to digest all the things that she just told me. I couldn't believe of what happened just now and I couldn't even answer her at all. But one thing was sure. I felt relieved.

______♥♥♥_____

Days have passed quickly and it was almost 2 weeks since the accident. Enrique's parents were staying at the penthouse right now because they refused to go back to Colorado. They wanted to be with Enrique when he wakes up.

The doctor told us that Enrique was getting better but he hasn't woken up yet. They already removed the machine which was helping Enrique to breath because he could breathe in his own now; which was a good news. He was removed at the ICU too and was now at the normal room which we can visit him anytime we wanted.

"Your wife is here, again. When are you going to wake up? You know what, you should wake up now. A lot of good things are happening and you should see them" I informed to Enrique while putting the flower in the flower vase. After I fixed it, I put it on the bedside table and sat on the chair next to the bed. I was about to hold his hand when I noticed that it moved. Then I heard him groaned a little bit.

"Oh God! Enrique?" I said as joy filled my heart but then the hope in me sank when his movements stopped and his heartrate monitor suddenly beeped warningly.

"What's happening?!...No!...Enrique!"

Happy ending? Sad ending? Hmmm...
