Arthur was still holding her hand when she fell asleep. The doctor assured him she was just sleeping and told him what to do when she woke up.
Arthur laid beside her again waiting for her eyes to open again. He had thought it was a dream but it seemed too real for him to believe it.
He could not fall asleep again as he watched her sleep.
Her hands were clasped in his, as he waited so desperately for her.
The nurse came in with Dorothy in the morning after telling her what had happened. She came in with tears in her.
Arthur was still awake seated next to her, Little Arthur had woken up and was playing in his crib.
Dorothy came closer and asked how she was.
The nurse told her Rose's condition which had become stable.
Her oxygen mask had been taken away since she could breathe on her own.
Arthur didn't even blink as he watched her face looking peaceful as she slept.
Sean and Irene who had drunk too much last night had just woken up. Irene walked into the kitchen but didn't find Dorothy anywhere.
She tried calling her but no one came.
She made coffee and poured into two cups, then walked back upstairs. Telling Sean about how the house felt weird.
She heard Dorothy walk into the kitchen, she left Sean taking coffee and went back downstairs.
"Dorothy, where have you been?" she asked the old lady.
Dorothy was drying her tears as she turned to look at her.
"Can I hug you?" she asked.
"Why what happened, " Irene questioned.
"Am just so happy I can't stop crying " she laughed as she cried.
Confused Irene came closer and hugged her.
Dorothy calmed down and left her arms.
"I think you should go see your friend " Dorothy whispered.
"Why, did something happen?"
Dorothy nodded and said, " She woke up last night, and " Irene had pulled away after she heard that Rose had woke up. She runs to her room as her tears blinded her.
She opened the door with force and rushed in.
Arthur was there beside her, holding her hand as he watched her.
"What happened?" she cried.
Arthur smiled, " she finally woke up from the coma but was still weak that she fell asleep," he said.
Irene looked at her best friend's sleep, without the mask on her face she looked so weak but still beautiful.
Sean came in later after being told about what happened by Irene. Even when he didn't want to he found himself cry when he had about it.
They called everybody and told them about what happened. Ralph and Alex who were still celebrating their pregnancy jumped with joy when they heard the news. Arthur's parents didn't waste a minute when they were informed and arrived at his mansion. They all waited in the living room to hear if she had woken up again.
Arthur who had spent the whole night awake had finally dozed off when he had a squeeze in his hand.
He opened his eyes and saw Rose awake again. She was staring at him sleeping, her beautiful blue eyes were filled with tears.
Arthur moved closer to her and kissed her face.
His arms engulfed her body in his chest as he felt her soft slim body next to his.
His heart pounded so loudly that it could be heard, it was then he knew it wasn't a dream she had really came back to him.
All his emotions he had tried to lock away and hide came rushing back. His tears could not stop flowing as he cried he said between his sobs "I missed you so much butterfly "
The family that had been waiting heard him cry making them know she heard finally woke up.
Rose let him cry feeling his pain and love for in his sobs. She didn't know how long she had been sleeping but she knew she had missed him.
Arthur after calming down let in the rest of the family. Rose cried and smiled as she watched them hug and cry seeing her awake.
Ralph used the chance to tell her more good news about there pregnancy.
She cried as she hugged Alex again.
The doctor had advised not to make her tired when she woke up, so after there happy and sad reunion they left one by one.
Irene and Sean who wanted to stay had been pushed out by Arthur since they already overstayed there welcome.
Arthur came back with their son, who cried so much after he saw his mother hold him.
Everybody was surprised by his behavior, he had been in his world that they thought he didn't miss his mother, but when he saw her give out her arms to hold him he cried.
Rose had placed him in her chest and soothed him.
"He must have missed you too," Arthur said as he watched his son stick to his mother without letting go.
The doctor came in later and examined her again.
He told the nurse it was now safe to leave her in their care and left a batch of instructions to Dorothy and Arthur to follow.
The wounds she had got from the accident had healed which made it better for them to take care of her.
Arthur took away little Arthur after he fell asleep in his mother's hands. Dorothy brought in her meal and left it to Arthur.
He fed her slowly and gently that it made Rose laugh. He was treating her like a baby that it looked so funny.
Arthur on the other hand didn't mind and continued to feed her until she had finished all the food.
"Are you going to miss work today?" She asked him.
Arthur didn't answer as he took away the tray from the bed but nodded.
He came back to the bed and sat down.
"Why would you ask me such a question, I have been going crazy without you and yet you want me to leave for work after you wake up?"
Rose smiled and opened her arms to him. Arthur without being told what to do rushed into them. She held him closer to her chest letting him place his head in her chest.
Her hands caressed his hair, she whispered in his ear, " I know your tired, rest for a while "
They both closed their eyes and went to sleep.
