"Stone is the main provider of this family. He always contributes if we are struggling." She revealed, "He does not let the world see it, but he is a good man."

"He is." I stated without a doubt "I know that. I have always known that."

"I know why you are trying to let go." Mrs Lewis mentioned

I stayed quiet so she spoke again.

"I met Baron in high school. It was love at first sight. It was perfect and wonderful but when it came to graduation, I called it off. Baron was off to Harvard to get a degree in law, and I was not really going anywhere in my life. So, I let him go because I thought that was what was best for him." She told me before continuing "He hated that I did it. He fought for me and look how it turned out. I married him and had Brennan and then we adopted Stone. Everything worked out beautifully. I would not change anything."

Stone was who I looked at when I replied "I can’t do this to him. I am holding him back. I can’t drag him down with me."

The twitch on my chest happened again. However, it was less of a twitch and more of a mini earthquake.

"You do know that he is not going to let you go." She said while sounding sure of herself and fully confident "He is not going anywhere."

I did not answer because I could not. I did not have a response.

Stone decided at that moment to wake up. He got up with ease. Almost like he had been up for a while.

He gently moved his head away from me. I no longer felt buried alive, but I missed him already.

"You can go home now but you should be on strict bed rest for at least a few days." Mrs Lewis spoke up when Stone did not, and she addressed me "Your body might be in pain at times, so I put some pills in your bag. They are high dosage so only one at a time. If you experience any headaches or dizzy spells or anything else that seems abnormal, then get yourself back to the hospital."

I nodded my head at the information before I swung my legs to one side of the bed and pulled myself up. Stone was there instantly and supporting my balance by making me lean on him. He took all my weight onto his.

"I will go and fill out the paperwork. You are officially free from this horrid room." Mrs Lewis expressed before she made her way out of the room.

I waved but my goodbye was short-lived as the woman popped her head back into the room.

"The only time I want to see you in here again is when you are giving me my grandchildren." Mrs Lewis quickly added before she disappeared.
