| Part 25 (robyn) I sat beside the bed, not knowing what to say. I was upset, because I could lose him, but angry that he could abandon Dyl and Jess and me too. The kids had already been through so much, I couldn't understand him sometimes. "Bryan , why did you do this? How could you do this? Do you ever think about anyone else but yourself?!" I said, angrily. "Did you ever think that we might need you? What are us 4 going to do if your'e not here!" His eyes opened slowly. "Robyn?" "Bryan!you're awake. How are you feeling?" "Not so good, my throat really hurts." "Yeah, well, when you get a tube down it, it tends to hurt." I smiled at him. "I'm so sorry."he started to cry a little. "I just-" his sobs stopped him. "I know, but hey, you're back with us now." "I heard what you were saying. Who's 4?" "Me and the kids." "But that makes 3." He said, puzzled. "Where are they?" "Umm, well, it makes 4 actually, coz you got 3, and the first two are at Mark's. Derek's going to look after them for a few days." "He's what? Robyn, don't let him take them away from me!" "It's just until you're out of here. It was going to be impossible for me to try and look after them if I was always here with you." He nodded. "Yeah, can't have you doing too much." He smiled a little. "I'm not your average blonde." "Well, you took that well." I smiled, I had been worried about his reaction, but he seemed happy. "Tired?" I asked him, he nodded. "Get some sleep then." He nodded and closed his eyes, still smiling.I walked back out to the others. "Is he ok?" "He woke up, but he's sleeping for now. I'm just going to tell the doctor. You guys can go in if you want." "I'll come with you." Kian offered. The others walked inside, relief on all of their faces clear. Kian and I walked along. "He knows?" "Yeah. I think he's happy about it." "I know he is." Kian smiled. "He loves kids." "Yeah, I know, I just didn't know how he'd take it." "Why?" "Umm, he's just tried to kill himself, probably not the best time to get your world turned upside down. And well, we hadn't discussed anything like this, because he's always doing band stuff." "Yeah, I guess. But you know Bryan. Look at how he is with Dylan and Jess. He knew from before Dyl was born that he wasn't his, and he's still acting like his dad. It'll be scary to see what hes' like with his own kid." "Thanks KI." I said. "For what?" He smiled. "Just for being you." |
