Charlie’s eyes opened slowly. She realized little Stefan was climbing up on a chair and trying to crawl onto the bed. He glanced at her and smiled.

“Okay?”

Charlie nodded and he climbed the rest of the way up, where he snuggled in beside her and kissed her cheek.

“I love you, Lee.”

Charlie picked up the pad of paper and drew a heart for Stefan. He looked at it and smiled.

“There you are!” Heath had his hands on his hips. “I should have known, you little escape artist. I turned my back for five seconds.”

Heath came over to the bed and ruffled his son’s hair. He watched as his sister held him tight and felt a lump in his throat. She looked better; her face wasn’t as swollen and new hair was beginning to sprout.

“How’s my beautiful girlfriend this morning?” Michael walked in carrying roses, which he put on the table. He checked out Stefan. “What say we make one of those, eh?”

Charlie pulled the pad of paper out and scribbled on it, handing it to Michael.

He looked at it and frowned. “That’s not true! My swimmers should be working now.”

Heath laughed and picked up Stefan. “I have to get home. We’ll be back, Charlie.” Heath kissed her forehead. Stefan waved and smiled.

Michael sat on the bed and brushed her hair back. “I know you’re getting frustrated, but Dr. Thomas says your speech should return, and your speech therapist says you’re doing well.”

Charlie gave him a frustrated look.

“I have to say, it’s kind of nice you not being able to talk.”

Charlie hit him with a pillow.

“This way, I can ask you to marry me and you can’t say ‘no’.”

Charlie shook her head and looked at her hands.

“Hey.” Michael lifted her face to his. “Don’t you dare. I love you unconditionally. If you let me, I’ll make you happy the rest of your life.” He pulled her into a hug. “We’re meant to be, Charlie.”

Michael pulled away and noticed tears in her eyes. He kissed her softly.

“You really think being married to me would be that bad?” he wiped her tears.

“Ye —”

“Are you trying to say yes, as in yes you will marry me or yes it will be that bad?”

Charlie sighed in frustration. She pulled out the pad of paper and wrote on it, Michael took it and smiled.

“You won’t be sorry.”

“She won’t be sorry about what?” Jordan and Stefan stood in the doorway.

“Charlie has agreed to marry me,” Michael announced.

“Oh shit!” Stefan chuckled. “I’m kidding, Michael.”

“I think I talked her into a baby, too.” He winked at Charlie’s look of astonishment. “Oh come on, hon, you can still be a doctor. I’ll be the stay-at-home dad.”

She wrote on the pad of paper again and Michael smiled as he read it.

“Yeah, well, I’m loaded. I can afford to stay home and run the restaurants from there.” He winked at her.

Jordan kissed her cheek. “We’re discharging you today. You okay with that? Antonio and Marco will be staying at the house.”

Charlie nodded. She knew they were there.
