Soft words were being spoken over you but you couldn't move at all. It felt like something large was holding you down. After 3 minutes like this, you started panicking. Why couldn't you move? Why did your head hurt so much? You tried to move your lips but even that wouldn't cooperate. It was so frustrating. Without the ability to move, you listened to the guys above you.

"I'm sorry man, she must be in a coma. After all, she took a pretty bad hit to her head." Barney sighed.

"There's gotta be something we can do! Please Barney, we have to help her." Max huffed.

"Dude I'm sorry Max, all we can do is hope. She's still breathing though, so that's a good sign." Barney spoke. "Hopefully her body will come out when it's ready." Footsteps sounded, signaling that Barney left the room. Max slipped his hand into yours.

"My love, please heal soon. I've told (daughter) that you're feeling sick and need your rest. She wants her mommy again, I want you back too. Whatever it takes, I know you'll pull through this. I love you." He sniffed and left the room. After that the darkness pulled you back under. You couldn't tell how much time had passed, but suddenly a face faded into your vision. It was Luna's. Her smirking face was floating in front of you and you started getting mad. The longer her face stared at you, the more pissed you got.

Soon the weight was letting up on your body. You reached for her face, wanting so badly to grab her around the throat and strangle her. You fought harder and harder to reach her. Finally the weight was lifted altogether and you were thrashing around.

"Hey! Hey, stop! Relax!" Two hands grabbed your shoulders, trying to calm you down. Your eyes shot open and you glanced up at Max's tear stained face.

"Max.." your voice cracked, and your arms dropped to your sides. His hand went to stroke your cheek lovingly before deciding to place a kiss on your lips.

"You're awake, how do you feel?" He asked, moving back to look at you.

"Fine. Little pain, but it's bearable. How long was I out?" You questioned, clearing your sore throat after. Max flinched and looked away.

"It's been 2 weeks." Your eyes widened. Two weeks?! Crap, that was a long time.

"Do you need anything baby?" He asked. You then realized how dry your mouth was, and your stomach rumbled as if it was answering his question. "Some food?" He chuckled.

"And some water." You added. He kissed your forehead and walked out to retrieve what you asked for. Not too much later, Barney came in and Max followed with water and a sandwich. Barney walked over and placed a hand on your forehead.

"Temperature went down, that's good. Eat this and gain some of your strength back, then maybe you can try standing." He said. They both helped you sit against the headboard and you ate slowly. As you ate, Barney checked the stitches on your feet. The good part about being in a coma for 2 weeks was that you didn't stress your stitches or other injuries.

When you finished, Barney stood on your left and Max came to your right. They grabbed onto your arms and supported you as you slowly stood up. The guys helped you walk around to the door. After you used the bathroom, they walked upstairs with you so you could hang out with the others. The undersides of your feet were very sore, but the guys acted as your crutches. Once you sat down everyone walked over and the kids ran over.

Your daughters eyes lit up when she saw you. She yelled, "Mommy!" and ran over. Max told her to be gentle. She climbed into your lap and wrapped her arms around your neck. You kissed her head and pulled her closer. "I was worried about you. Daddy said you weren't waking up from your nap." Her words made you tear up and hold her tighter. Everything was fine, no coma and no Luna. Back to normal....for now.
