I squeezed her hand, cried tears of joy as I wiped her hair away from her face, and told her to keep waking up, to open her eyes and show me those adorable baby blues. Criss hollered to the doctor and said that she moved her fingers!! They came in and told me to move back but I told them I wasn't moving one fucking inch and that she was going to know that I was there for her the nurse checked her vitals on the machines and said they were rapidly becoming stronger and her breathing was getting more productive I kept rubbing her hand, asking her if she could hear me yet then asked her to squeeze my hand if she could her eyes were still closed, but she squeezed my hand very lightly.

Criss and I waited until I finally talked her into opening her eyes and as she did. I made it clear to be the first thing that she saw she blinked a few hundred times and very slowly asked what happened, and where she was but when she tried to sit up and move around a lot I told her to lay still, that she was in the hospital but everything was going to be alright now, that she was awake. I kissed her hand as the tears rolled down my face and onto her hand she looked back at me, gave me a smile, and asked me what took me so long she's been waiting a long time for me to come back home, that she missed me so much she couldn't stand it.

I pulled her to me, hugged her, told her that I was home now, and added that I wasn't leaving anytime soon. she looked at me again and asked me what in the hell did I do to my hair. I laughed at her and asked her if she remembered telling me, that one day I was going to get into trouble one day for sticking my head in where it didn't belong well she was right. I got too close to the veggie-Matic and this is what happened. I smiled at her and asked her if she liked it. She pulled me back down and said she really liked it and it reminded her of a beautiful red fox that she saw at the zoo a long time ago. Then just to make her smile I told her that I also liked the loving words the elderly folks gave me when they saw my hair the old men called me with utmost love a veg-head she laughed a little bit and said she knew I was a few bricks short a full load. I looked at her very seriously and told her all those years I told her she was wrong that now I'd have to say she was right all along and I was definitely short a few bricks but now that she was awake she could help stack my wheelbarrow to make sure I had a full load from now on.

She said she'd be glad too as the doctors came in and began asking her to move all of her limbs just to make sure her brain wasn't affected by the trauma of the coma then they had orders for a cat scan, and an MRI just to give them assurance that she was going to be alright then the physical therapist came in and said that first thing tomorrow they were going to work on her rehabilitation. I looked at her and said for as well as I have been taking care of her she wouldn't need rehab very long for all the work I did exercising her legs for her, and all the massages I gave her on a daily basis she'd be walking and running again in no time then added to make her smile that I sure in the hell wasn't going to carry her ass everywhere that she had two legs of her own.

Kc laughed at me and said that she was fully capable of using her own damn legs and that she wasn't the type to take any handouts from anybody then she reached out for my hand, pulled me very close to her, & thanked me for not giving up on her when everyone else did then added that she really loved the music I played to her, all those beautiful conversations I had with her. I blushed a little bit at the fact, that she actually heard all those conversations I had with her, while she was in her comatic state but at least she got my message after Criss welcomed her back with a hug and kiss as he said he had to get back to his RV because early in the morning he had another dangerous stunt he was going to perform.

The doctors and nurses left the room, and it was just me and her again only this time I wasn't talking to myself for my lovely sweet pea was back! and she didn't waste any time telling me that she was definitely going to hold me to my promise I gave her about me teaching her how to play my guitar for she was tired of begging me to teach her I bent down, kissed her cheek, told her that I would love to teach her how to play. When I tried to get up and move back to my cot she grabbed me and literally pulled me into the hospital bed beside her, putting me in a bear hug but instead of trying to get out I slightly chuckled, laid down with her, wrapped my arms around her, & told her never to scare me like that again because if she did I was so going to kick her ass.

Kc touched her lips to my hand very slowly and promised me that she wouldn't for it was way too scary for her that time around and she never wanted to go through that again. I laid there wrapped around her as I told her that when we got out of the hospital I had a surprise for her she looked at me and asked what it was. I told her that when we got out I wouldn't be taking her to the trailer house anymore for now, we all lived in a real house that Abby, Mark, her, and I were going to live in it together she asked me how many rooms it at I told her with a very big smile, that it had two bedrooms and a full basement she looked at me and said she knew Abby and Mark would be sharing a room but which one of us was getting the couch. I smiled at her and said I would never make her sleep on the couch and that she and I would hopefully be sharing the other bedroom she looked at me in complete shock.
