The Coma Rages On

Previously on Two Dads with Teens
Kirstie was called to the hospital by Mitch to take him home while Scott looked after her for awhile. Mitch didn't want to leave her alone at the hospital in case she woke up.

Scott's POV cont.

After I read Kaitlyn's poem I tried to remember it so I could frame it. I loved how I worded it and how it all came from the heart. She continued to moan. Her eyes fluttered every once in awhile, but she never once opened her eyes.

I remembered her eye color, she opened her eyes a few hours after she was born, Mitch gasped when he noticed she had my eyes. Bright blue, like crystals.

I looked through twitter, everyone was leaving prayers for her and drawing pictures for her. I cried everytime I looked at her. Her chest rose and fell like a leaf blowing in the wind. Nurses came in every two hours to check the monitors, I didn't pay them much attention.

Mitch kept texting me, he must've not slept very well. "How is she?" 'Mitch, babe she's fine I promise. I asked you to get some sleep, now please go to bed.' "I can't. I'm so worried about her :(." 'Mitch, please stop worrying, she'll be fine I promise.' "Okay, I'm putting my phone down. goodnight." I didn't reply or else he would keep replying.

I never realized how tiring it can be watching someone sleep. Especially when its someone you love. I remember watching the triplets sleep after they were born. Now that was a chore, because Mark would hit Ditie and Ricky would kick Mark causing one of them to cry. Thats when Mitch and I finally bought seperate bassinettes for them.

Kaitlyn didn't move a muscle, I wondered how stiff she would be when she woke up. I sat back down in my chair and put my jacket on over my chest. I must've passed out for hours. A nurse came in and tapped me on the shoulder, "Sir can I ask who you are?"

I opened my eyes and answered grogily, 'My name is Scott Hoying, I'm Kaitlyn's-' I looked over at Kaitlyn, her bed was gone, 'WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER!' I stood up and stormed out of the room, "Mr. Hoying, she's been taken for some tests, she's perfectly fine, now please calm down."

I started to cry, 'I'm sorry, everything's that happened, I thought she died and you guys took her out of here before I saw anything.' She placed her hand on my shoulder, "Sir if anything was wrong with your child, our monitors are loud enough to alert us and probably would have woken you."

"Knock Knock!" Someone said outside, 'Come on in.' They wheeled her bed back inside, 'Oh hi baby girl!' The nurse apologized, "Sorry sir you were sleeping when I came in to get her, I saw no reason to wake you." 'It's fine, just next time if she needs to be taken for tests, please notfiy us for anything. Her visitors are either myself or my partner, her other dad.'

-three weeks later-

Kaitlyn has improved about 10% since she fell. Doctors don't know what else they can do to help her. Mitch and I have switched off staying with her for three and a half weeks now.

The bills are piling up. We're still releasing videos with PTX but we haven't done a tour in over two years. I cry everyday that Kaitlyn hasn't woken up.

Mitch and I agreed to leave the hospital together and rest at home. It was hard leaving her there alone, but she is safe and we don't know when she'll wake up.

Mitch's POV

My baby. I don't know what to do, how do parents deal with a coma-ridden child? Scott and I left the hospital one night to rest. Three weeks have passed since her accident. She has little to no improvement, doctors say she may have premanent brain damage if she wakes up.

Once we made it home, Aphroditie came up to me, "Daddy? Where's Kaitlyn?" 'She's fine. Papa and I had to get some sleep, so we let her stay there with the nurses.' She started to cry, "Is she awake? Can we go see her?" I hugged her close to chest, 'No, she's not awake honey. We can go see her tomorrow. Let's all get to bed.'

They went to their rooms, while Scott and I shut off the lights throughout the house. I picked up Wyatt, 'Come on bub, let's go to bed.'

A/N So the next chapter will be much more exciting. I have alot of ideas for it. Please vote and comment your ideas, did I mention I love feedback?
