"How did it happen?" Angel asked.

"I think he was at a stoplight or something, and another guy crashed him from the back."

"Did he...go through the window?"

"No. But his head hit the steering wheel."

She nodded and sat down on a nearby chair, always holding her belly.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. My parents won't even call or text me. You know, I was incredibly worried to tell him, but then, he took it so well, and I told myself, 'he could not have a better dad.'" She said as tears fell down her face.

"I'm... you said 'he'." I said.

She nodded. "It's a boy. He's going to have a son." She said sobbing.

"I'm sure he'll wake up. But in the meantime, you can still do this. You can raise him until Adam makes it through this. I bet that this kid, this boy, is going to need a mother, and he will have a father. I promise."

"Don't make promises you can't keep. He's in a deep coma. I know it's likely he won't even make it through the night. I know he's like your brother, and I don't want to hurt you, but I don't think he'll survive this, and if I stay, neither will I."

"Look, if you want to move on you can. I mean go away and take off of your mind all of what is happening. I'm sure Adam would understand. And if he wakes up, which I'm sure he will, his son will be here with him. It's not like Adam's going anywhere." I said.

"Yeah." She laughed. "I think it's for the best. But ummm... would you promise me something?"

"Sure. Anything."

"Take care of him, and Annabeth. She will need someone to be by her side. Besides, she doesn't even know the boy is Adam's. And I just don't think I can take a baby and his dying father at the same time. But if he comes back, please let me know. I still want my baby to have a family, not just a mother who can't even take care of herself."

"Of course Angel. Don't worry. Everything will be alright."

"I really hope you're right. Bye Parker, take care." And with that, she left. No looking back. If she hesitated at least a moment, she would stay, but at the end of the day, she would either break or leave for good. Either of those things weren't going to help the kid. It was better this way.

After 30 minutes of waiting, I finally got to see him. Annabeth, Adam's mom, said she wasn't ready to see him in this state, the truth is, I think neither was I.

The nurse walked me through the hospital to a patient room. As we crossed almost every inch of the hospital,

I saw Adam covered in wires, supplying him with substances I didn't even know. The monitor was beeping rhythmically, and with every heartbeat, I held my breath. I walked towards him and grabbed his hand. At this, he squeezed it, and I thought it was it, that he would be back. But then the doctor explained. "When a patient is in a deep coma his brain is still working, but partially. His reflexes may be intact, but we don't exactly know when he will recover fully as to wake up." He said.

I sat down at the end of the bed facing him. His face pale, and breathed constantly. "Can you leave us alone for a minute please?" I asked slowly.

"Sure." He almost whispered and exit the room.

"You son of a bitch. You nearly got me a heart attack. Angel left, your mother doesn't even want to see you. You're scaring us so much. I don't know if you can listen to all the crap I'm saying, but if you are... I want you to know that I'm here. I will stay as long as you need. But you have to wake up. I need you Adam. Angel needs you. God! Your freaking son needs you! So, it doesn't really matter if you want to take a month or a year, but wake the hell up at some point." I said.

What would happen if he stayed like that for too long? Or what if he didn't make it through the night? What if he died? What if?

.A/N: Sorry for this short crappy chapter. What do you think about Angel? First time she actually appears
