Ralph and Alex helped Arthur set up everything he required to bring Rose back home. The machines all were put in place and soon Rose arrived.
He watched them take her inside the prepared room and connect her to the supporting machines that had been helping her since she got into the coma.
After putting everything in place, all the doctors left only leaving a nurse who was going to work with Dorothy to take care of Rose.
Arthur came inside the room and laid beside her like he had been doing since she was in comatose.
He held her hand and closed his turned eyes to sleep. All his dreams recently involved her, She was happy playing in the grass with her son. Arthur was sitting watching them have fun.
"Ralph I know what you mean but we can give her more time, my wedding can wait " Alex argued.
"Don't think too much about it, I want the wedding to be held soon.....my sister is showing signs of not ever waking up. Her seizures have been getting worse and if she gets another, it might be her last " Ralph said between chokes.
Alex knew how he felt, he was scared not to have her at his wedding. Her presence was so important to him, that it hurt him to see her go away.
"It's alright with me love, I just want you to enjoy that day no matter what," said Alex.
They both knew if Rose survived, she and Arthur were really meant to be.
Everybody had been gloomy or depressed since she had the accident, Nathan had been taken away by Arthur just like the rest who hurt her so far.
The media had not made a big deal out of it, they all made sure to stay in line with his they reported the news of her accident and how she was doing.
Arthur had returned to his grumpy cold self, the company employees missed her more than anyone since she was the only person who had tamed him. Arthur made them overwork and never took excuses anymore. He had fired half the staff in the previous month since Rose's accident.
They didn't blame him, since they all knew he was in pain so they made sure not to anger him in any way.
The company had made thrice the profits they made in a year in just that one month. But he didn't care at all. All he wanted was a distraction from the pain and worry of losing his only love.
The doctors had told him the worse that could happen, he knew even though he denied it that she would soon have to go.
Arthur woke up from his sleep, he was still laying beside her. He kissed her like and got out of bed.
He went to his son's room who was still sleeping soundly.
Arthur went to the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. But then a memory flashed in his mind of Rose when she was still pregnant. She had taken out yogurt to eat and Arthur kissed her. He remembered the taste of her mouth when he did.
Arthur opened his eyes and walked away. If Rose didn't wake up her memories would haunt him forever. The home that once had been just a house to him, she had turned it into an album of wonderful memories he would cherish forever.
But he still had hope that she would wake up.
As time went by, Irene, Sean came by and saw her. Irene helped the nurse to bathe and change her attire even when Arthur wanted to do it. Alex and Ralph constantly came by and checked her condition. She had not had any more seizures which were a good sign.
Arthur learned how to bathe her without hurting her or affecting her sleep and dress her. He was determined to male her comfortable. Irene showed him how to paint her nails, which he did but then his son destroyed them.
Little Arthur was growing so fast as time went by. Arthur had been teaching him how to walk since he had started using the support of walls and chairs to get up to walk.
He taught him how to walk inside her room and sometimes made videos of him walking on his own.
He sometimes called him, " Dadada and called her Momom " which made him smile even when he didn't want to.
His son was the only source of happiness now and he enjoyed every bit he got from him. He just wished Rose was there to see and hear it.
Ralph and Alex had decided to hold the wedding at Arthur and Rose's home. He wanted his sister to be comfortable and still be at his wedding.
The preparations had been done by the same organizer of Arthur's wedding with his sister.
Arthur hadn't opposed to it, he supported them. And every day before he went to work, he saw them turn his home into a wedding venue.
Sean came into his office, they had to leave for a trip to meet a new business partner. Arthur Nathan making a mess if his project Arthur had to make new plans to get it back on track.
"But I can't leave," he said.
"I know buddy, I will go instead. Most of our partners know about Rose, so they would understand if you don't appear or go to business trips " Sean said.
Arthur sat in his seat and zoned out, Sean had to shout to get his attention back again.
"Am sorry, what were you saying?" Arthur apologized.
"I was saying that you should take a break and just stay at home with your family. They need you more than the company which I can take care of by myself ".
Arthur knew his friend was just worried he might not be able to hold on. He nodded in approval and got up.
Sean watched him get his coat and phone and left for home.
Sean wondered if Arthur would survive if Rose never woke up. He looked so sad to even from behind. His only friend was losing his mind slowly by slowly in front of him and all he could do was just pray and hope Rose would wake up.
