Awake :34

Luke's POV

I was in history class learning about who-knows-what when over the loud speak my name was called to the front office. (I wasn't paying attention)

I got up and grabbed my bag heading out. It was Tuesday. What happened? Did Nat wake up? Please let her be awake. I can't watch her sleep anymore.

I reached the front office and found Mom waiting there with Will and Tyler.

"Honey, the doctors are going to wake Natasha up today. Once we get there." She said.

"Yes!! Finally!" I shouted.

It had been five weeks and three days since she was awake. I would never let her complain about not getting enough sleep again.

I drove my car home and then got in Mom's car with Will and Tyler. Andrew was already at the hospital along with Dad.

We finally got to the hospital and went to the waiting room. The doctor came out and told us that they were going to take her off the sedative.

We waited for a loooonnnnnggggggg time before a nurse came out.

"She is awake. You are all allowed to visit her now." The nurse said.

"Thank you so much." Mom said to the nurse.

We all rushed to Nat's room and found her laying in bed staring at the ceiling.

"Nat?" I said announcing our arrival.

"Luke? What-what happened? Did everyone get out? Where's my Dad?" Natasha asked in a dry voice.

"Maxwell is in a room having a checkup. The bunker collapsed on top of you and one of Clark's men. Everyone got out alright though. Nick got out of the hospital yesterday, the man that was with you when the bunker collapsed is in prison, and everyone else is alright." Mom told her.

We all gently hugged her and then found a seat somewhere in the room.

"When can I get out?" Nat asked.

"We aren't sure yet. Soon hopefully." Mom said.

"Okay. So, how long have I been asleep?" Nat asked.

"Uh... Well, see... Um..." Mom attempted.

"Well, what?" Nat asked.

"You are making me worried. What's the date?" Natasha added.

"Um.. Its October ninth." Dad said.

"So, what? I've been in the hospital for a little over five weeks? What about school?" Natasha asked.

"Honey, school doesn't matter right now. What matters is you getting better." Mom said.

Just then the same nurse from earlier walked in.

"Excuse me, but she needs to have a quick check up." The nurse said.

"Alright. We'll be right back okay?" Dad asked giving Nat's right knee a affectionate little squeeze.

We all left her room and went back to the waiting room while she had the checkup.

A doctor came out and talked to Mom for a minute before leaving.

Mom turned to Dad and started crying. I walked over to them.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" I asked them.

"Um..." Mom said turning to Dad again.

"They'll find out eventually. This way they could help her get through it." Dad said.

"Get through what?" I asked.

"Maxwell has brain cancer caused by secondhand smoking. It is at a stage where no kind of therapy will help it. He has had it for at least two years. It is a miracle he is alive right now. Normally people with brain cancer only live for two or three months." Dad explained.

"So... Nat's Dad is going to..." I trailed off.

Dad nodded and Mom cried.

"We don't know how Natasha will take this, we just need you to be there to help her." Mom said through her tears.

"Yeah, I will." I told them.

The nurse came out again and told us we could visit Nat again. The nurse also told us that she could leave the hospital once the paperwork was filled out.

Me and my brothers went back in to Nat while Mom and Dad stayed out in the waiting room.

"Where's Mom and Dad?" Natasha asked when we came in.

"They needed to fill out some paperwork so you could leave the hospital soon." I explained.

It wasn't a lie. They were filling out paperwork but they also stayed out so Nat wouldn't get worried by Mom's crying.

We talked with her for a while until school was over and the girls plus Nick and Brett came to visit.

Once the girls were done visiting it was Brett's turn.

Lovely.
