**LELAND'S POV**
[/center]I was so nervous I was pacing. Worry plagued me about what she was going to think about me raising & naming her daughter. My heart was starting to race and I could feel my hands getting sweaty. Beth had went home and picked up Kiana. I wanted Kiana here when Lilia woke up. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard the same incoherent mumbling as I had earlier today. Immediately racing back to her side, I picked up her tiny hand in mine and sat down.
"Mmmm" She said, still waking up
"Hello, Lilia. I'm Leland." I quietly said as Kiana started making noises
"Wh.....where am .............I?" She said, having a hard time getting her words together
"Sweetie, you're in the hospital. You were stabbed in the side and your body went into shock. You've been in a coma for the last 3 months." I gently said as she struggled to semi-sit up and look around
"Stabbed? Coma? What....... what about my baby?" She asked, eyes seeming to have a hard time focusing on me
"The doctor did a Caesarean Section. Your daughter is 3 months old. The nurses made me give her a name." I quietly said
"You named my baby? What... what did you name her?" She asked
"I named her Kiana Mackenzie, I hope you're not mad. I also gave her my last name so that I could put her on my insurance." I said shakily
"You've been taking good care of my baby?" She asked
"Yes Ma'am. I have 2 boys of my own so being a parent isn't new. I've given her the best care I possibly could." I told her
"Leland, we're going to go get the doctor." My Dad said as he ushered everyone out of the room
"OK Dad. Thank you." I replied, giving him a small smile
"Who are they?" She asked, semi-watching as my family left her room
"They're my family. They've all been in everyday to see you since you were brought in.
"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." She quietly said, looking away from me
"You have nothing to be sorry about. We're all glad that you're recovering from your injuries. You have a beautiful daughter." I said, giving her hand a light squeeze
She wanted to know all about me, so for the next hour that's what we talked about. I didn't want to upset her with asking questions about her. I told her about moving her things into my house and paying off her hotel bill. She turned away from me, obviously embarrassed. The doctor came in a few minutes later, followed by Dad and Bethy. He gave her a quick exam, checked over her charts, told her what had happened to her, and discussed her medications.
The doctor then turned to me and said that she would probably be released to my care in the next day or so. I thanked him as he left the room. She turned to look at me questioningly. I told her that I wanted her to move in with me until she got back up on her feet. She shook her head no, but Beth gave her leg a squeeze of reassurance. Dad and Beth talked to her for a little bit before the nurse came in and said that 'Visiting hours were over'. I asked Lilia if she wanted me to stay with her. She slowly shook her head yes. I smiled at her before settling in for the night. Tim left me the laptop and some of the information that he'd found on her.
