LENA'S POV:
Give up? I can't give up. Did the nurse seriously just say if I continue to remain in these conditions they'd take me off life support and make them say their goodbyes? Gosh. If I was strong enough right now, I'd leap out of bed to show I'm not giving up. And they shouldn't give up either.
Mentally, I'm ok, I'm stable and I'm functioning well, on the other hand, physically I'm unstable, risk of dying and weak, how can I tell them not to give up on me, that I will pull through if you give me time. I will come out ok, and stable and positive I just need time for my body to recover and my heart to pick a pulse back up again, and I will be able to do that with Stef beside me. With my mother and father beside me. With the people I love most and believe I can do this.
Because I can do this.

STEF'S POV:
Almost 3 weeks in hospital now, nothing making any progress and seeing my sweet beautiful angel laying in that bed so unresponsive tares my heart apart more and more each second. I don't know how much longer we have, how much longer we can have hope for her, to hope she will be strong because it's gotten to the point where all my hope and faith is starting to go, and I can't loose her, but it's coming to realisation that my wife is suffering and fighting a battle she isn't going to win.
Dana and Stewart enter the room and ask for a word. A word that I know isn't going to very pleasant, a word that will break my heart.
"Stef, baby, I don't know how much longer she can fight this" Dana said as she rubbed my arm.
"I know, I just hope one day she will wake up and be ok"
"So do we hun, but you heard what the nurse said. It's not fair for her to suffer while we hope, this is a fight that she will never win, it's time we say goodbye and let her rest in peace" Stewart said as his eyes welled at the thought.
This was awfully hard for all of us, and he had a point, we couldn't just sit here and have faith while she could be suffering in pain inside that coma that is overpowering her and taking her life away from us everyday. As much as this kills me inside I couldn't loose her, it's what was about to happen, but I still needed to make sure that she didn't have the slightest chance, because any sign of her being ok, I will fight that sign with her, and pull her out.
"Please, not yet, give it 2 days" I said as my eyes filtered and tears dropped to the floor quicker than a waterfall. They could see how broken I was - and how broken they were as-well, nobody wanted this to be the end, so they agreed. I had two days to hope and fight with her and for this reason I'm not leaving her side, I'm going to talk to her, day in- day out. I'm going to sing to her and read to her, anything it takes to get some sort of reaction. I'll do anything.

"Good-morning my sweetheart, you have today and tomorrow to show some kind of response for me, so you have to fight harder than ever for me, you hear me. I know you can do this baby, your strong. I know you are" I said to her as today and tomorrow may possibly be her last days, she needed to know that whether she could hear me or not, she needed to know that this is the time to wake up, now or never.
The nurse entered the room, I rushed to my feet and listened to what she had to say.
"I understand this is card, I get that, I really do, I had to say goodbye to my mother in a coma so I know what you're dealing with, but she was in the coma for 1month, and she suffered, and I hate to see Lena suffering too because it kills you inside too doesn't it?" She said as she took a seat and I followed. I had expected this to be a professional conversation about her blood levels and heart rate etcetera, but no, she knew what we were dealing with and this was a conversation to make me come to realisation that Lena is hurting more than us, and she needs to rest without any pain and worry.
"It's hard to say goodbye, what to say? How to do it. How did you overcome this?" I ask as she seems perfectly fine now, loosing her mother must have been hard but she's back on track, which is something I wouldn't be able to do.
"I'm not over it, I still hurt everyday, but I push myself to work, distract myself and remain strong for my mother, you need to do the same Stef."
She was right, I could give Lena another two days of pure pain; she needed to be ok, and free. It had come to the point where, Goodbye is the only choice right now. To let my baby go in peace.
I rung Dana, "I think it's time" I said down the phone as my emotions get the better of me.
"Ok, we will be right there, baby I know it's hard. But we can get through this together"

A/N: I'm sure you guys hate me right now, but everything may have a good turn with or without Lena.
