Achievement
Few days later Gabriela's father started talking.
"Hello Gabriela."
"Hey dad you can talk now."
"Where's your mom?"
"Dad you don't have too worry your self right now, your just recovering from coma."
She quickly rushed to get the doctor and to inform them that her father had started talking.
Benson had visited Gabriela but she wasn't at home so he had to go check her at the hospital.
"Hello Gabriela."
"Benson your here."
"Yeah I just thought I should visit you and your family, how's your dad?"
"Well I was just coming from the doctor's office to inform him that my dad had started talking."
"Oh that's a good news, I'm glad to hear he's responding to treatment."
"Let's go see my dad, I need to introduce you to him."
When they got into the room where her father was, she had introduced him to her dad as a friend from the medical school. But at that time her father wasn't able to talk much. Gabriela and Benson had taking a walk to the lakeside so they got talking and Benson had to pour out his heart.
"Gabriela if you don't mind, I think at this point it would only be nice if I let you know how I feel about you. I know you have so much on your shoulders but I want to be a partner who would be of help to you, I want you to lean on my shoulders whenever you feel tired. Please give me a chance to show you how much I love and care about you."
"Benson I don't need anyone to tell me how much you care for me, despite the fact that I had pushed you away severely you never left my side. I think I'm going to give my heart the chance to be happy with you."
"I'm so happy to hear that Gabriela and I promise to make you happy always my love."
They both hugged each other and had their first kiss, and promised to love each other forever.
Few day later Gabriela's father was discharged from the hospital. When they got home her father had asked of his wife.
"Father we had lost mom due to the accident and while you where in coma we had a funeral service for her."
Her father busted into tears while Gabriela and her siblings were comforting him.
"Dad you have to pull yourself together and be strong for us." Gabriela said.
"Please take me to were your mother was buried."
"Will do dad, but for now you have to rest as the doctor instructed." Gabriela said.
Gabriela had decided to resume back to the medical school, she had called Benson ahead to inform him that she will be arriving so Benson had gone to pick her up from the bus station.
"Hello love, it good to have you back."
"Thanks babe."
"How's dad doing?"
"Well I would say he's fine. Just that he's still trying to cope with the fact that he's wife is no more."
"Yeah I understand." Everything will be fine okay.
"Benson I would love for you to come visit my dad so I could introduce you to him much better."
"That's not a problem at all, so when do we go?"
"I would be going to visit him and my siblings in two days time, if it's okay by you then we can leave together."
"That's fine by me."
"Have you had lunch?" Benson asked.
"Not yet."
"So let go get something to eat."
Gabriela and Benson had promise to be with each other forever and kept the saying always and forever!!! always and forever was their way of saying I love you so much. Benson loved Gabriela so much that he couldn't bring himself to telling her the story of his family, he feared it could keep her away from him.
It's was time for Gabriela to go visit her father so Benson had gone with her as promised. When they got home Gabriela had introduce Benson to her father.
"Nice to meet you Benson I was told how you've been of help to my family and I really appreciate all you did."
"Mr Walter I was glad I was able to help out in my own little way."
"So what do you want from my daughter."
"With all due respect Mr Walter, I want to have Gabriela as my wife with your permission."
"I don't have a problem with that, as long as my daughter is happy with you it's fine by me. So tell me where are you from?"
"I'm from Oklahoma sir and my parents lives in Oklahoma with my brother.
"That's good. But I want you to know that her education is more important at the moment."
"Yes sir I was going to get on with my plans of having her as my wife after we graduated from the medical school."
So Mr Walter and Benson had a long chat and he was really comfortable around Benson.
"I have to take my leave now sir it getting late."
"Oh that's true, we got chatting and forgot the time how time flys. But it's really late if you don't mind why not spend the night here?"
"If that's fine by you side, I wouldn't dear disobey you sir."
"I would ask Gabriela to get the guest room ready for you, we haven't had a visitor in a long time."
"Thanks Mr Walter for accepting me into your family and I promise to never let you down."
"That's alright. I have to go to bed now, i would leave the both of you to chat."
"Good night dad."
"Good night Mr Walter."
"Yeah, good night to the both of you."
"My dad really likes you. You know ever since he lost my mom, he has been so calm."
"Not to worry my love everything will fall in it's place." I have to leave as early as possible I have a class to attend.
"That fine I will be going with you as well, I also have a class to attend."
While they were in school Benson had gotten a call from his mom for the second time asking him to come home that his father's condition is getting critical.
"My love I got a call from my mom telling me my papa is very sick and needs to see me urgently and I have to travel to Oklahoma to see my family, I promise to be back in know distance time." Benson promised.
Gabriela replied, "I would have love to come with you Benson so I could meet your family just the way you met mine but I don't think this is the right time for that please send my regards to your papa, I will wait for you okay." she said with so much love.
Benson journeyed home to see his sick father in Oklahoma, the journey lasted for 16, hours.
"I'm home mom!" he shouted in a loud voice they all ran out to see him and embrace him with so much love and happiness.
"Good to see you son."
"Good to see you too mom."
And his brothers came and gave him a warm hug, It's been a long time they all came together.
"Good to see you Benson." Said Michael.
Where is papa he asked and the mom responded," laying in his room
He then rushes to his father's room.
"Hello papa, what's going on, why are you so sick?"
"Good to see you Benson my dear son, I had thought you weren't going to come."
The Elijah's are of the bloodlines of a powerful pack of werewolf.
"Papa I have so much to tell you about, I have found a girl I would love to be with for the rest of my life and her is Gabriela Walter. We both meet at the medical school."
"Son I had asked to see you all because there's something of grave important I have to share with you my son's and my only daughter. You all know we are not just humans but werewolf and there was a prophecy that the next alpha of the werewolf whose going to wild so much power is going to come from the family of ELIJAH the 3rd which is my bloodline and it was going to be in a from of a new born baby with so much power know one has seen before."
Elijah the 3rd had five sons and a daughter, their name where, Michael, David, Victor, Benson, Vincent and Alexandra the only daughter of the family. At the time the prophecy was foretold the only children ELIJAH the 3rd had was just Michael, David and Victor. The prophecy never said who amongst them was going to have that child so Michael took it upon himself been the first child of the family that he would be the one to bear the child.
Michael was married to Lillian and they already have two kids so he was bent on getting is wife pregnant so has to fulfill the prophecy. David was married to Vivian and they only have a son looking forward to having a second child, Victor was newly married to Judith and she was pregnant with her first child. Benson just met with Gabriela and they only had plans of getting married after they had graduated from medical school. Vincent and Alexandra where still in college.
"Papa, we've had all you said." Michael responded.
"Benson you were saying something about you meeting a beautiful girl?"
"Yes father and her name is Gabriela Walter."
"Why don't you bring her home to visit I and your mother."
"Will do papa, I had to rush home due to your request of wanting to see us all."
"The table is set, let all have dinner." Said Benson mom.
"I will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning, I have to be in lab as early as possible."
That's alright son, do come with what did you say her name was again?"
"Gabriela Walter dad."
"Yeah make sure to bring along when next your visiting."
"Sure dad."
"Hello love."
"Hey babe." Sorry I haven't called, we've been having a family meeting.
"It's alright I just thought to check up on you."
"Thanks love, hope your good?"
"I'm dearie. Just here missing you, when are you coming back?"
"I would be leaving first thing in the morning and my flight is sixteen hours, I should be at the airport at 10pm."
"I would be there waiting to pick you up."
"Thank love."
When Benson had arrived Gabriela picked him up and they went to spend the night at Benson place.
"How did the meeting go, hope everything is fine now?"
"Yes, everything is fine." My dad was telling me to bring you along when next I would be visit.
"That's good to hear, I can't wait to meet your family."
