Chapter 141: We Almost Lost You
I stined, the pain in my back from the movement making me moan softly. The recovery would be a bitch but I was glad at least had an opportunity to recover. I felt eyes en me so I opened one rye and then quickly the other. A beatiful little gal with dark curls and pretty eyes was staring at me. She was sitting on the bed and for a moment I thought maybe it was an angel coming to take me, the sunlight vespicimosly halnige armed her. Not that I actually think I believe in all that, I just was probably high en meephine. But it was a bit scary and ethereal all at the same time.
70h, you are awake!” The girl exclaimed in excitement.
She looked so young, maybe five or six years but she sounded so much older. I immediately knew who she was my back
grimacing at the sharp pain that shot down
“Emily?” I asked, a smile coming to my face. She was a potgemis little girl and she beamed the mature look on her face adding a girlish hint to her,

“Amway, I am Amelia.” I said, extending my hand and she took it a bit instead of shaking it, she just held it. Her eyes pooled up
“When I heard about the accident, I got scared. He is the only person I have left.” She said, her bottom lip quivering, I sat up all the way and pulled her into my

1 stroked her hair and let her cry it out, poor baby. Temember how I felt when I lost my parents, it wasn’t the same as having a family member to raise you when you know you had parents at one point in time. She eventually sighed and buried her face against my chest. I smiled, she may be intelligent older than her age but she was still a child that needed love and affection.
“We are here for you too.” I added softly, kissing the top of her head
We stayed like that for a long time before she finally pushed up, looking me in the eyes and I reached down to wipe the tears off her cheeks
“So are you going to be my mother now?” She asked almost shyly
“Emily!” I was Donald’s voice and we both looked towards the door to see him bei

Justin was on his heels and he rashed over to my bedside. He looked exhausted, dark bags under his eyes and I knew for a fact that he didn’t sleep. Ereached touched his face, he covered my hand with his and closed his eyes, releasing a long breath.
“You have been asleep for over forty–eight hours, we were getting a little worried. He said and that gave a pause.

I thought it had been maybe the next morning but two days? He looked at Emily and something in his face changed, he reached out for her and picked her up. She settled comfortable in her arms, I could tell that she had become very comfortable with Justin.
“You are too old to be held, Emily.” Donald said and he was aided into his bed.
His eyes met mine and he smiled softly and I smiled back. Aside from the handage ams and some slightly bruising on his face, he looked well.
“How are you feeling, baby girl?” He asked as the nurse pushed his bed up next to mine, pastin must have paid a lot of money for them to break all these codes because I knew for a fact this didn’t happen.
“I ain okay, my back just stings a bit.” I replied and he nodded, reaching for my hand.
I turned so I was laying on my side, facing him and took his hand. The nurse came around and started changing my bandage and I noticed Justin took Emily out of

His expression changed and concerned filled his eyes, we stared at each other slightly until the use left the room and we were alone, I knew this man loves me but

I also knew the love he had for his daughter was unmatched.
“We almost lost you” He choked out, fresh tears rolling down his cheeks,
“But you save me.” I whispered, the tears making my voice sound thick with emotions.
I saw the flash of regret in his eyes before he looked back in the direction his daughter went. I knew why, he could have died protecting me and leaving his daughter all alone in the world. That thought alone broke my heart but I knew it broke him more.
“Donald?” I called, getting his attention back to me.
“I know how important your daughter is to you, I never want you to feel guilty about putting her first, I know how much you love me and I know how much you love her. A father’s love is the most special thing in the world and I would never want to put myself in front of that love.” I said to him.
My father died when I was a little girl, around Emilys age so I knew what pain she would go through when she lost her father. We silently watched Justin and Emsily talk in the hallway as if they had known each other for years.
“You know, he wasn’t lying when he said he really wanted children.” He said and 1 smiled softly. It was something to behold, watching how happy he looked with Emily.
“I am sure she wouldn’t mind having two fathers.” I looked at him and grinned.
“I am sure she would love that.” I added, he was about to say something when Justin and Emily walked in, giggling about something.
“Father, I dont want to go away to school. I want to stay with our new family.” She said, bounding over to the side of Donald’s bed. I knew he would give her anything she wanted but Justin stepped in before Donald could say anything
“The smartest girl in the entire world wants to give up going to the best school in the world for gifted children to stay with a hunch of old folks?” He asked her, he was leaning against the wall opposite our beds and she turned to face him, putting on a pruty face. Donald’s eyebrows shot up as if he had never seen that face before. Something told me that he hasn’t.
“What if I go and when I come back, you all are gone?” She asked softly,
I could see her lip quivering even though she was young, I could tell she struggled with the abandonment of her mother. She was too smart to not know what happened. Justin walked over to her and went to his kneesand sat back so that they were eye tone.
“Sweetie, Anselia and I are not going to leave, we are here to stay. We love each other and true love never abandons no matter how tough life gets and we will love you just as much. We will be here for every holiday and event and award ceremony. You can get homesick and we will be there, just because you are going to school doesn’t mean you aren’t going to be a part of this family.” He said softly and reached up and wiped the tears that were rolling down her check.
Donald began to cry silently as well, I squeezed his hand. He didn’t have to do this alone anymore.
“And as long as your father is okay with it, if you absolutely hate it there, I personally will spare no expense making sure you have the education you want and where you wanted it.” He added, looking over at Donald who smiled through his tears. Justin smiled back, his eyes glistering and he looked back at Emily and pulled her into his arms.
“Do you promise?” She asks into his neck.
“I promise.”
