Mitchie rushed towards the doctor with Alex not far behind. “That’s me. Is my baby okay?” questioned Mitchie.
“Sarah is now stable, but she is unable to feel anything from the waist down. We hope that it is only temporary and that with therapy she will walk again, but for now only time can tell. I’m sorry Miss Torres,” apologized the doctor.
Mitchie started crying again. “This is all my fault! Sarah can’t walk because I’m a horrible mother,” cried Mitchie.
Alex hugged her, but remained quiet. She knew that if she opened her mouth she might just make the situation worse. She couldn’t help blaming Mitchie for what had happened.
“Girls, at least Sarah is alive. Have faith, your daughter will walk again,” said Teresa as she smiled softly at her daughter and daughter in law.
A week later they were able to take Sarah home and they had a hell of a time explaining to her why she had to sit in a wheelchair. After many tears and long talks, Sarah was finally sitting in her wheelchair without too much of a fuss.
A couple of months went by and Sarah was improving through therapy, but she could not walk on her own yet. Alex would come by everyday and spend time with Sarah, but she hadn’t moved back in yet. She tried to avoid Mitchie and would only talk to her when it was extremely necessary.

Alex lay on her couch in ratty sweatpants and a tank top while she ate ice cream straight from the can. Christy watched her and shook her head. “Alex, how long are you going to punish Mitchie and yourself? Go back home. You’re miserable without your girl,” said Christy.
“I’m not moving back in Christy. As soon as Sarah gets a little better I’m going to sign the house over to Mitchie and disappear from their lives. I can’t be with Mitchie if she doesn’t see me as Sarah’s mother. I love Sarah too much,” explained Alex.
Christy shook her head. “You’re crazy Alex. You and Mitchie can work it out. I’m sure that she does see you as Sarah’s mother and you just overreacted,” said Christy leaving Alex to think about what she’d told her as she left to go see her fiancé.
Apparently, it was the best friends’ day to butt in because while Christy was lecturing Alex, Caitlyn was giving Mitchie a piece of her mind.
“How long do you and Alex plan to keep this stupid game up? Don’t you think that it’s about time that you two reach some kind of agreement? Ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away Mitchie. You two are allowing Shane to win. Even after death he is succeeding in keeping you two apart. Are you really willing to lose Alex a second time?” questioned Caitlyn softly.
Mitchie shook her head as tears ran down her face. “I love Lexy and want to form a family with her, but she’s upset about me not taking her opinion into account when I let Shane take Sarah. When I said that Shane was her father, I never meant that Lexy wasn’t the mother. She is more of a parent to Sarah than Shane ever was. She’s crazy about our daughter and I’m crazy about her,” whispered Mitchie.
Caitlyn smiled at her best friend. “Then stop being such a bonehead and talk to your girl. Alex loves you and I can bet that all you two need is to have a nice heart to heart. I can hear wedding bells in the summer,” teased Caitlyn.
Mitchie laughed and hugged Caitlyn. “I hope you’re right Katie. I can just imagine a summer wedding at sunset. The backyard covered in daisies with me and Alex in beautiful white summer dresses. You and Tawny will be my maids of honor. Harper and Christy will probably be Alex’s. Brad will be the ring bearer and we will get Sarah a perfect little white dress with a yellow ribbon around the middle, so that she can be the flower girl,” gushed Mitchie.
“You have all of this planned out don’t you?” questioned Caitlyn with a laugh as Mitchie nodded happily. “Well good luck Mitch. You two deserve to finally be happy,” said Caitlyn standing up to leave.
Mitchie knew that she and Alex needed to talk. Sarah wanted to know why her mommy wasn’t living there. Ironically enough when Sarah started to notice Alex’s absence she began to refer to her as her mommy although for some reason she still didn't call Alex that when she was there. She continued to refer to Alex as Lexy unless she was asking Mitchie about her. Apparently the little girl saw Alex as her mother even though she hadn’t been calling her that.
The next afternoon, Alex was in the garden with Sarah and Mitchie was watching them from the doorway. Caitlyn had made her realize that she and Alex needed to talk. Not talking about their problems would not make them go away. “Alex can I talk to you?” called out Mitchie.
Alex nodded and said something to Sarah before walking over to Mitchie. “Is there a problem? Are there changes with Sarah’s condition?” asked Alex.
Mitchie sighed. “Yes, there’s a problem Alex. What’s going on with us? When are you moving back in? Are we even still a couple?” questioned Mitchie softly.
Alex looked into Mitchie’s eyes and shook her head. “I’m not moving back in Mitchie. I can’t be with you,” whispered Alex.
Tears rolled down Mitchie’s face as she looked at Alex. “Why Lexy? I’m sorry about what happened with Shane. I don’t want to lose you again,” pleaded Mitchie.
“Look Mitchie, I love Sarah as if she was my daughter, but obviously you don’t see me as her mother. You made the decision to let her go with Shane without taking my point of view into consideration. You are never going to see me as her mother and I can’t live like that. I was just waiting for Sarah to get a little better before I told you that I was going to put the house under your name and disappear from your life. I love you, but it’s not just you anymore. I love Sarah and for us to work as couple, I need to be a mother to her,” said Alex softly.
“I don’t want the house Lexy. I want you. You are Sarah’s mother baby and I’m sorry if I made you feel like you weren’t. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life by your side, together with our daughter and future children,” said Mitchie.
Alex leaned in and kissed Mitchie. “I’m sorry Mitchie. I can’t do this,” whispered Alex as she started to walk towards her car leaving Mitchie with tears running down her face.
“Mommy! Don’t go mommy! Please!” yelled Sarah.
Alex turned towards the little girl with tears streaming down her own face and ran towards her. Sarah was slowly trying to walk towards Alex. She had managed to get out of her wheelchair in an attempt to stop Alex from leaving. Both Mitchie and Alex reached Sarah at the same time fearful that she might fall and hurt herself. Alex hugged the little girl. “You walked sugar plum,” she said softly.
Sarah nodded and hugged Alex close. “Don’t go. I love you,” said Sarah.
Alex looked up at Mitchie who was standing next to them and then back at Sarah. “You want me to be your mommy?” she questioned softly.
Sarah shook her head. “No. You are my mommy. You were always my mommy,” said Sarah with a teary smile.
Alex grinned at the little girl and hugged her tightly. “Yes, sugar plum. I was always your mommy and I love you,” whispered Alex kissing her forehead before looking up at Mitchie. “Can I be a part of the family?”
Mitchie knelt next to her girls. “Lexy, you were always a part of the family. You’re her mother sweetheart,” she said cupping Alex’s face and kissing her gently.
Alex smiled lovingly at Mitchie. “Let’s get married as soon as possible and I want to adopt Sarah,” said Alex as she stood up and picked Sarah up.
Mitchie wrapped her arms around her two girls and nodded happily. “Whatever you want Lexy. I’m never losing you again. You are and have always been the love of my life,” whispered Mitchie as she kissed Alex again. “Just promise me one thing. No more running. When we have a problem we will work it out,” requested Mitchie.
“You two make my life complete and I want to spend the rest of my life making you guys happy. I promise never to leave again. We will work out any problem that life throws our way, together,” said Alex happily as the three of them made their way back into their home.
