Vincent sits beside Gabrielle who is hopelessly hugging herself in a fetal position- unconscious of how her husband whose hand couldn't leave her shoulder is rattling with the thought that something terrible is wrong with her.

He waits anxiously as the doctor reads her temperature and frowns worriedly. The next thing he did was to put the stethoscope on Gabrielle's back and carefully listens to her breathing.

"I'll have her blood tested Mr. Walton... her fever is too high."

"Can you tell me what's happening to her?"

"Does she have any illness or history?"

"She has allergies... but nothing I know of that she got sick or something.."

"Well." the doctor sighs looking at Gabrielle.

"This might be just a common flu, but we can't be sure until I get the result of her blood test and until she wakes up so I can check up on her how exactly she feels."

"She just started screaming about her head being so painful before her nose started to bleed. This afternoon she was just fine. We played a lot

    "How do you feel?" That was the first thing she hears as she opens her eyes. She feels the bed waving a little as Vincent adjusts himself to look at her. His arms are sore from holding her in his chest but he doesn't give a care. She'd been shaking in her sleep, murmuring and pushing herself closer to him over and over like begging him to just hold her and take the pain away."Hmm?" He asks as his blue pair of orbs meet her brown pair of dilated eyes before she frovwns and groans. His arm that is under her neck pulls her a little before he embraces her again. Soothing her back as he gently caresses it."Can you sit, baby? You've to eat..." he says with his lips against her burning temples.She's still feverish and he's so damn worried that he feels the urge to carry and run her to the hospital."W-wa-er.." she lets her weight fall on his embrace as she struggles to speak."Hmm?" Vince pushes her again a little before combing her short hair to the back of her ears."W-wa..." she gulp

    "I'm very sorry Mr. Walton... but it appears that your wife has more than just a migraine..." the doctor states as he seats beside Gabrielle on her bed. She is immediately sent to the emergency room to do series of tests. The doctor joined them right away with the results in his hand. Gabrielle is now sleeping again with her hand not letting his hand go."What do you mean by that?" Vincent gulps throwing a worried look at Gabrielle."The blood tests show that Mrs. Walton has stage 4 dengue fever.""W-What?!" He stands up making her become restless on the bed when as he did, he pulled her hand that was holding his. Gabby groans obviously awaken by his reaction. She weakly opens her eyes and look at him with a frown. Vincent immediately sits back cupping her beautiful face before leaning down to kiss her forehead."Let's g-go home..." she says so weakly as her burning palm holds his wrist in front of her face."Let's just... go back to the... hotel...""Ssshhh..." was all he can say b

    "Vince..." she wakes up freezing in cold in the middle of the night and immediately reaches for Vincent's hand that used to just rest on top of hers as she sleeps.Calling on his name, Gabrielle squints her eyes open trying to adjust her vision to what small light there is in her hospital room.

Both of them are sitting opposite each other beside the window that overlooks the thick cloud in the skies.They are 3000ft above earth and one could easily say that their minds are also floating in air. Vincent looks at Gabrielle once more trying his best to approach her as she has not been herself since this morning when they were told to go back to London as soon as possible. He already had an idea that this would happen..but Gabrielle had no inkling about her father's condition that the news that woke them up this morning became a blow on her.

    "And they lived happily ever after.." reading to Veronica every night before bed has become one of Gabrielle's most favourite things to do with her daughter. Holding the hard bound and colourful book in hand as she lies her back on the pillows against the headboard, Gabrielle peeks at the pretty little angel whose eyes are still fixed on the illustrations on the book. Sometimes, Veronica would even mouth the lines she's reading. Doing this with her every night, at the age of 21 months, Nic already knows most of the letters and she's memorized most of the words written on the book.Although on this particular night, she didn't mouth any word of the fairy tale with her and thus, just kept on asking questions about the meaning of certain words and required her to explain furthermore what was happening in the story of the Sleeping Beauty."Mommy?" Nic calls on her softly as she looks up so she can see her mother's face who is right beside her on the bed. Slowly, she sits up kneeling bes

Her eyes are pinned on these two bloody troublemakers who still have traces of raspberry purée on their skin. Reaching for Nic's lips, Gab pats on the small bits of broc

    "Nic!" Gabrielle throws herself up from lying on the bed. Adjusting her vision to what little light there is in the room that is coming from outside. The curtain is closed and she had to reach for the side lamp to have lights inside the dark room where she is."Nic..." her heart begins pounding harshly against her chest realizing she is alone in the room! Veronica is nowhere to be found and for that she immediately rises and stands up to look for her."Veronica!" She runs outside the suite to an empty castle. She looks at her left and right, her hand lost in her brunette locks as she feels as if someone punched her in the stomach because of fear and anger.Where the fuck did Vincent took her daughter?!How long has she been unconscious to not even notice her daughter no longer beside her?!Running down the grand staircase as if she's being chased, Gabrielle immediately goes straight to the playroom.Empty.

Her small palm rests on Vince's shoulder before he kisses her forehead while shutting his eyes closed at the question.How can he answer that when the only answer is that he's been through hell without her mother and herself?"Dada? Do you wove (love) Nic?" She asks again making Vince touch her cheek and she lifts up her face to look at him."I love you Nic... with all of me... I'm so sorry I wasn't there.." he says touching her small nose with his before looking at Gabrielle who looks away with so much sadness in her eyes."Do you wove (love) mommy too?"

With high hopes and excited heart, he lifts his hand again towards the doorbell to ring it once again only to stop midway when he hears the low creaking sound coming from the door frame as it slowly opens.Vincent breathes hard as finally, the door reveals the very woman he has been looking for in the past two and a half years."Bella..." he whispers her name he so misses calling as their eyes meet for the first time in a long time, his with so much longingness and hers... with an obvious shock.And FEAR.The widening of her eyes and the way she gulps as her hand that is holding the doorknob shakes made Vincent's heart aches and his feature soften as he puts his hand on the huge antique wooden door, stopping it from slamming onto his face."Bella please..." he takes one step forward and he sees her shaking in so much fear.

    The bullets of sweat kept on falling from her forehead down to her flushed red face. Gabrielle counts in her mind as she pants while doing her best to even out her breathing pattern. Another electrifying shoot of pain runs down her spine down to her pelvic bones. She could feel her soul separating from her body as the excruciating pain consumes her and she throws her head screaming in pain."H-Help mneeeeeeee! Oh Gooooood please!" She pants clutching on the bedsheet so tightly her knuckles turn white and the veins on her neck looked as if they'll explode.Blowing the air through her mouth, she raises herself up as she pushes so hard she can feel her jaws clicking and the tears stinging her eyes as she closed them tightly while suppressing a scream to put more of her energy on her pelvic area.She tries to reach the count of how long she should push before she exhaustedly throws her body back to the bed.
