Awake

It didn't matter what he was doing before Rae burst through the doors. All that mattered was that Helena was finally awake.

Romeo was so desperate to get to Helena that rather than taking his car he shifted and ran to the pack hospital.

"Helena," Romeo shouted as he burst through her room's door.

"Gross, put some clothes on, Romeo," Alyssa scolded as she tossed him a pair of shorts. "It's a hospital for crying out loud."

His eyes remained on the now stirring Helena while he dressed.

There were several nurses and two doctors talking to her as he inched closer.

"Can I go to her?" he asked in a shaky voice.

"Romeo?" Helena called out.

Romeo didn't even bother to wait for the doctors' go signal.

When he heard Helena call for him, he went to her side and held her hand.

"I'm here, love," he said as he lifted her hand and pressed his lips against her now warmer fingers. "I'm so happy you're awake."
