Chapter 112:

Stephen POV:


I paced around the halls waiting for at least one of them to walk out, the more time that ticked by the more I grew impatient with waiting. I kept checking the time, two hours had gone by and not a single word. She is still alive that much I can feel, she is barely hanging on. One minute I feel okay then the next minute I feel like I can't breathe. "Stephen, you need to eat something man." Alex said, walking up to me. "Not until I know she is going to be okay." I replied not bothering to stop pacing. "She wouldn't want you to be here like this." Tye said. "Just leave me be." I replied. "Danny is asking for you.." Emma whispered from behind me. Danny can't see her like this. He can't see me like this. Or has he already seen? Oh goddess please tell me he didn't already see what would happen to her. "Where is he now?" I asked. "He is with Ember back at the house but he wants to come here." Emma replied. "Does he know?" I asked, dreading the answer. "He knows that she is hurt but doesn't know anything else. Just let him come." Emma stated before she walked off to the others. "We need to go to Danny, I don't want to get my ass kicked if Alley and Rose found out we sulked here for hours." Denver said. "Oh how nice of you to finally talk to me dick. I've been going crazy! Where the hell have you been?" I snapped. He hasn't responded to me at all, it was like he closed himself off.
I heard him huff like he was annoyed. "I've been talking to Rose, you idiot. You seem to forget we can do that." Denver snapped. "What did she say? Are they okay? How is Alley? Is ther-" "You ask to many questions, shut up and listen." Denver huffed cutting me off mid sentence. We really need to work on his communication skills. "Rose is doing her very best to heal but it's hard considering the damage, Davina has been called to help the healing process. They are about an hour away before they come out, we have time to see Danny, and don't worry Alley is currently with Athea so she doesn't feel any pain." Denver said and I felt all the stress and worry lift off of me. She is safe. My princess is safe. I felt Denver tuck himself in the farthest corner of my mind, I figured he was going back to talk to Rose again. "I'm going to see Danny I will be back before the hour is up." I stated as I walked out of the hospital and dashed towards the house. I held tight to the thought of Alley being with Athea, I wonder what they are talking about. As I walked in the door I heard little footsteps running towards me "DADDY! Are you okay? Any booboos? Mommy?" I picked Danny up and he looked all over my face. "I'm okay Danny, mommy is still with the doctors, but here soon we can go back okay?" I said trying to stay positive without giving too much away.
"Aunt Emma said mommy got hurt. That bad man hurt her. She won't leave us right?" Danny asked with sadness in his voice. "No buddy she won't leave us but she is hurt and will need time to heal." I replied. "I will take care of mommy and cook foods that she really likes." Danny said, scrunching his face up. "Alley will be fine but she will need a few days to heal." Ember said, walking up to us. "Did Danny know how or see what all happened?" I was a little scared of the answer. "No, Alley prayed to Athea and she granted her prayer. Danny did not see anything else from that battle." Ember replied. Alley prayed to Athea? Honestly could she be more perfect? "Let me shower and change and we will go see her okay buddy?" I said putting Danny back down on the ground. "Okay daddy I will be here with Ember." Danny said, skipping over to Ember. I turned and walked up the stairs and rushed through the shower before stepping out and grabbing the first set of shorts and shirt my eyes laid on. I didn't want to be away for long, I wanted to be there when she woke up. I rushed down the stairs and saw Danny was already on Embers back waiting for me. As we walked out of the door I saw a lot of people walking towards the hospital, they had flowers and candles that they were laying out. As we walked by they bowed their heads in respect, the more I looked around the more I realized that among the crowd were dark witches and vampires.
It was odd to see them here peacefully among us, "Stephen, how is Alley?" Ambrosia asked as I approached her and Pythia. "She will live thank goddess, they are waiting for Davina to arrive." I replied. "Davina arrived a few moments ago, she didn't say anything to anyone. We have been worried." Pythia said. "I appreciate you all coming here to show support, it means a lot to us." I said looking between the two women who looked like utter shit, a lot of us did. "How is everyone else? Jack?" Pythia asked. "Jack woke up not too long ago, he feels groggy but otherwise fine thanks to you. Everyone else is up and moving, bruised up but we didn't lose anyone thankfully." I replied. Jack has not moved from his seat, he looked rough but at least he is alive. "Alpha, Davina is nearly done and we will be moving her soon, please follow me." Julie said, it looked like Julie had aged decades from the stress of everything. She has been the recent doctor to tend to Alley when she was hurt and knowing the luna is injured and her life is within their hands I can understand why the stress levels are extremely high. As we walked through the hallway I took in everyone's appearances, the women looked exhausted with red eyes from tears. The men had a look of stone on their faces. These people were our family, I kept my head high walking through while on the inside I wanted to scream and run to my princess.
I had to stay strong for all of us, the closer we got to the door the faster my heart raced. "Please wait here, we will move her when Davina is done." Julie said, "How is she?" I croaked out. "It was touch and go for a bit but we got her stable and were able to close her wounds. She had internal bleeding that we managed to stop. I will look over her as she heals." Julie replied as her shoulder shrunk down. "Thank you Julie. For everything." I replied. Before Julie could say anything else the doors opened and Davina walked out. I rushed towards her, "How is she?" I asked, feeling like my heart was about to explode. "She will be fine Stephen, she will wake up shortly but if you'll excuse me I have to go to Athea." Davina said, offering up a small smile. "Mommy is okay?" Danny squeaked out. "Your mommy will be just fine but you'll need to take good care of her okay?" Davina said, smiling at Danny. "I promise I will take super good care of mommy!" Dannye replied. His ember colored eyes swirled brightly and a smile appeared on his face. The doors opened and they stepped out wheeling my princess on the bed, she looked very peaceful as if she was just sleeping. My heart clenched and my eyes burned, seeing her like this nearly broke me. We followed in silence as they moved her to her new room. We all piled in and sat around her bed patiently waiting for her to open her beautiful eyes.
