Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Lucy's hands trembled. Although she had bought a gun and had fully intended on using it to kill April once she had fired the gun she was left shaken. She thought she had prepared mentally for all possible outcomes but she hadn't prepared for this. She was devastated as she witnessed Dean getting shot and crumpling to the floor.

Her heart sunk, "No, no, no. It was supposed to be April, not you. Not you. This isn't the way things were supposed to go." It was like everything had happened in slow motion right before her eyes.

Dean had saved April and used his body to shield her.

"She is not worthy of your love nor your protection. it should all be mine!" Lucy muttered to herself. She stared at his body on the floor and got lost in her delusions. Once realisation hit her she let go of the gun and with a thud, it fell to the floor. "No no no… Not you… You aren't supposed to be here, you're not supposed to die!" She muttered as she pulled at her blonde hair.

She fell to the ground while crying and muttering to herself, she started to crawl towards Dean's body but was brutally shoved away by Aarna.

"Eric hold her," Aarna sternly ordered.

Hearing the order Eric then snapped to life and he grabbed Lucy from the floor by her arm and firmly held her in a tight grip.

"Where is the ambulance?" April asked, her small voice coming out in a whisper.

Aarna turned to her best friend and held her shoulders, "Zane's coming everything will be okay April." She tried to reassure her friend. 

A few hours had passed and April now sat in a white hospital room, holding Deans hand. Her tears still streaked down her face.

Aarna who just entered the room stood beside her friend, placing her hand on her shoulder, "I can take you home if you would like?" She asked though she knew the answer already.

"No, I will stay with Dean." April managed to speak a few words although she felt a lump in her throat so big she could barely gulp. She held back her tears as not to worry her friend, but she knew as soon as Aarna would leave she would fall to pieces.

"Okay, I will be upstairs in Zane's office then so you know where to find me." Aarna then hugged her friend before walking out and leaving her with Dean.

"Do you think she will be okay?" Zane asked, he was waiting just outside of the room to give the girls privacy.

Aarna then burst into tears, the day had been very emotional and terrifying for her and only now did she let it all out.

Zane held her close to his chest as she sobbed into his chest, he rubbed her back to soothe her.

Back inside the hospital room April glanced up from Dean's hand to his face, he was pale. His usual glowing tan was gone.

She bit her lip but the tears streamed down her face again as she held his hand she then collapsed onto the bed laying on his chest, she couldn't hold it in any longer and released all her worry sadness.

"Dean I can't do this alone, we haven't met our little bump yet…. We haven't got married and lived a full life yet. I… I am not supposed to do this all alone… Don't leave me please." She sobbed into his chest as she clasped onto his hand.

"Three."

April heard the deep cello like voice and she sprung up from his chest and wiped her eyes.

Dean was smiling down at her, she sniffled and jumped onto him embracing him.

"Aghh," Dean moaned in pain.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry." April hurried to apologise to Dean, she had forgotten about his gunshot wound as she was so delighted to see him awake.

Dean stroked her head and held her, "Don't apologise my love." He was just as joyous to be awake.

They held one another for a long time, once you lost someone once to re-live that feeling again was agony for them both.

April wiped her tears away from her cheeks again and she smiled up at him, "What's three?" She asked. She wondered why three was the first thing he would say as he woke up.

Dean gleamed and held her cheeks stroking them, her eyes were red and puffy from crying. "That is the third proposal I have heard from your lips." He beamed at her.

His chest was tightly wrapped in bandages from the gunshot wound and it prevented him from moving. He was in pain but ignored it so as not to worry April further.

"Will you marry me?" She asked, her eyes sparkled with tears as she stared into Dean's eyes waiting for his answer. She thought that she would never see those beautiful honey eyes not see the dimples on his face as he smiled at her.

"Four." He replied and chuckled as she hit him lightly on his other shoulder.

"Hey, watch I was shot you know," Dean explained as he chuckled, he then looked at her seriously and responded. "April I want to be with you forever, You are my now, you are my tomorrow and you are my always."

He had planned the perfect proposal but this was all he needed, he would give April her ideal wedding day and if she wanted to propose to him he would gladly let her. He just wanted his angel.

"That's good because you are stuck with me and little bump forever now." She glimmered and lay down beside him on the bed.

Dean moved to the side to make her more comfortable beside him. He placed his hand on her stomach, "How is my little bump?" He asked.

April grinned and retorted, "While Zane was treating you myself and Aarna went for a check-up. Little bumps are swimming about happily." She then took out a scan picture from her pocket and showed it to Dean.

He beamed at her and took the scan in his hand, his eyes shone as tears filled his eyes. He was overjoyed that he had been there, he was on time to save them all.

"Wait... Little bumps?? We are having twins?? I am so glad I made it on time it's unthinkable otherwise," Dean confessed again.

April glanced up at him and replied, "Yes twins, we are going to have an even bigger family than we thought." She smiled up at Dean, she could not imagine what would have happened had Dean not survived today. So she asked, "Why were you at the shopping mall today?"

Dean's face then turned serious, "I wanted to meet you both for lunch. But when I arrived and saw people rushing out of the shopping centre my heart stopped, I panicked and rushed inside, I just had to find you." He paused trying not to think about what would have happened had he not been there on time. "What happened with Lucy?" He then asked.

April sighed, "Eric took her to the police station. He arrived not too long ago and told us that she was admitted into an insane asylum. She is psychotic and deserves to be there. Both she and her mother needed to be locked up for their crimes in this life and my last life."

"Agreed." Dean felt at ease then, he wouldn't take any more chances with the lives of his loved ones. "Let's go home my love." Dean then sat up from the bed and stood up.

"You have to stay for observation and dressing changes." April panicked, she sat up too amd glared at him, he was being reckless.

"Zane can do house calls," Dean retorted he smiled at her hoping she would stop worrying.
