"Nope ...." Eloy Sanchez sobbed loudly beside the bed, "you finally woke up ... You finally woke up Lucius ...."
Mike squeezed his father-in-law's shoulder with one hand and another touched Lucius's hand lying on the bed. " Jonius ...."
no more words came out of his lips. He was only able to hold tightly, conveying the strength of gratitude because the man had opened his eyes. A stream of tears on his cheeks, he sobbed slowly with Eloy Sanchez.
Lucius glances, moves the eyes, the doctor has examined and says a good development for Lucius, all vital signs and conditions are pointing towards improvement. Those black eyes wandered around his bed.
Mike finds out Lucius is looking for Regina, he steps aside and pushes Mr. Eloy's wheelchair so that the space between Reggie and Lucius' bed is not blocked.
"Look next to you, Lucius ..." he said slowly.
Slowly Lucius turned his head, his eyes pounded on Regina who was still asleep with all the medical equipment attached to her body. Lucius' eyes glint as if asking, making Mike finally make a sound.
"He hasn't woken up yet Lucius .. I hope he wakes up soon after hearing your voice." Mike's hoarse voice made Lucius turn his eyes back toward his sister's husband.
"I've woken him many times, he won't listen to me. .. wake him up Lucius, he'll listen to you ..." Mike's voice gets hoarse, the flow of tears gets heavier. Lucius stared at the crying Mike, then looked back at Regina's bed. He stared at Regina's stomach.
Mike looked at Lucius's gaze and knew Lucius wanted to know about the baby, "My daughter Lucius survived, you've become Uncle .. quickly recover, I ...." Mike rubbed the tears dripping down his cheek with an arm. "I want you to see it immediately, I want you to name it ...." Mike sobbed, his shoulders shaken slowly.
"Both will not be helped if you are not there, forgive me. I am late ...."
Lucius raised his hand into the air, Mike who saw him immediately caught it and again clasped the hand. A second later the black eyes closed again, but the regular breathing of Lucius' chest motion told Mike that the man had fully returned to them.
**********
Several days had passed since Lucius woke up, the man had been moved in the usual care room, he could even move and train his body down from the bed. But Regina's improved condition shows no signs that she will open her eyes. Lucius tried his hardest to allow him to come and see his brother again.
After arguing with the nurse who still did not give her permission to leave, Lucius finally begged, his eyes glazed and his voice hoarse , the condition instead made the nurse take a deep breath while passing away leaving him. Lucius was determined to leave alone and was about to take his foot off the bed when the nurse returned in a wheelchair.
"Come Sir. I'll take you there. Only fifteen minutes! after that you should go back!" his orders"
With a big smile Lucius nodded.
"Thank you ..." said slowly.
After getting into a wheelchair, Lucius was pushed to the floor where Regina's treatment room was located. Mike who was outside the treatment room immediately stood up when he saw him arrive.
"Lucius? Why are you here .. do you feel better?"
Lucius nodded, then pointed towards the door of the room. Mike immediately understood that his brother-in-law wanted to see his wife.
"Let me accompany her, Sister ..." Mike asked the nurse who pushed Lucius.
"Fifteen minutes, sir!" the nurse told Mike and Lucius. Both nodded.
Lucius looked at his brother who was still closed, he approached and stroked slowly the back of Regina's hand that was still motionless.
Only silence answered Lucius' question.
"Open your eyes Regina, I want to talk and you have to listen to me ...."
Mike stood behind Lucius' wheelchair while looking at Regina's face.
"I don't think your husband is eating right, nor is he sleeping well. You should see the dark circles under his eyes. She's getting ugly ...." Lucius whispered in his sister's ear, but of course Mike heard those words.
"If you don't wake up, he might lose weight .." - whispered Lucius again.
Lucius clasped Regina's hand, hoping that at least her sister would return the grip. But the hand was still limp and did not move. He brought his mouth closer to Regina's ear.
"If you wake up, I promise I'll cut Gina's hair. Well ... You want to see my hair short right, I'll cut it, but you get up first ...."
The sound of the door opening slowly made Mike and Lucius turn their heads, Amy had been standing in the doorway with a tangled face and tears melting.
"Reggie ..." Derek's wife stepped closer, and out there Derek spoke to a nurse who looked upset as he pointed towards the entrance. Mike pulls Amy and takes her to the side of the bed, standing beside Lucius' wheelchair.
Amy sat on the edge of the bed, then lay her head on Reggie's body.
"Nobody felt the need to tell me Reggie. You're here, lying down and not opening your eyes for days. I'm gonna have to find out for myself where you are, why don't you come to see my newborn Arthur. I'm sorry Reggie, I'm so useless. Dozens of years you took care of me .. but in the slightest I could not repay you .. There is nothing I can do for you, I am so useless ..." Amy huffed, held back so that the stuffing and shaking of her body did not disturb Reggie's body, Her chest hurt, she was furious at Derek who kept this news from her.
"Wake up Reggie .. Your daughter cries, you must silence her ..." cried Amy again.
"Wake up .. I beg .. what to say to Aunt Marinna, to Mamma .. You promise not to leave me!"
Amy lamented, her tears soaking in the patient's shirt Reggie was wearing. Lucius lowered his head with his hands still holding his sister's hand. Mike closed his eyes with one hand, holding back the endless melts of tears down the slope of his cheek.
Mike scrunched his nose and wiped the melted tears on his cheeks, as he stared at his wife's face, Mike was stunned. He was silent stiff, his two eyes pushy as if in disbelief. The two black spots had opened, sparkling with fatigue as if coming from inside Reggie's body. But the dim glow was like the glittering sunlight rising in Mike's eyes, shining with a hope that rose in his heart.
"Honey ... Regina ...." Mike called out in a hoarse voice, and tears welled up, "Darling ... you finally woke up ...."
Hearing Mike's words, Lucius immediately looked up, Amy straightened up. They stared at the face that had opened their eyes on the bed, then cries burst out again, it broke out with a hint of relief as the sparkle of those black eyes moved to glance one after another at the very people he loved who had stood by his bedside.
