"mom!" i said and hugged her.

"hey baby girl." she whispered.

i cried into her shoulder, "i'm so sorry mom i'm so so sorry. i love you and only you. you're my mom not terry. i love you so much." i cried out.

she put her hands on my back and i felt so happy. she's alive. she's really alive. do you ever get that feeling when someone you were in love with leaves you or dies but then you see them again and it feels like you are the happiest and luckiest person in the world? that's how i feel.

"i love you too sammy." she said.

i smiled brightly.

the doctor walked in, "ah. awake are we?" 

i smiled and held her hand.

"yes we are." she said and kissed my hand.

"i'm guessing you had a nice nap. considering it was practically hibernation." he said and laughed.

"what do you mean?" mom asked.

he turned around and checked her stats.

"well you were in a coma for 10 months."

her eyes widened, "w-what?"

i looked at her and she was horrified.

"mom. you were in a coma since february 26th."

"well what day is it today?!" she said a little too loud.

"don't panic mom." i said.

"what day is it sam?!"

i sighed and looked down.

"it's um...december 28th..."

"WHAT?!" she yelled.

"i'll give you two some alone time...sam let me know if anything goes wrong."

"okay." i said and he left.

i looked back at mom and she was crying.

"why are you crying mom?" i asked.

"i missed all of the award shows...your birhday...christmas..."

"hey hey it's okay mom. it's not your fault okay? it's mine. i should've never picked her over you." i said.

"sam it's fine. you were in a confused state. i'm just glad i have you now, and you're safe." she said and held my hand.

"so you're 16?"

i nodded.

she smiled, "i'm so proud of you sam. how did you get through this year? where did you live?"

"at home. justin stayed with me." i said smiling.

she gave me a look, "did you guys...you know..."

i laughed nervously, "maybe a few times..."

"sam!" she scolded.

"i'm sorry! i just missed him sooo much."

she smiled and rolled her eyes.

"has ezra come by at all?" she asked.

i smiled and nodded, "he came with me everyday." i said.

she smiled.

"so does this smean i'm still grounded? you said 2 weeks but...it's kind of...10 months later..."

she laughed and shook her head, "no. no you're not."
