No Happy Ending

You look just like daddy

Two weeks later

Agnes and Abigail are sleeping, and Jessica walks around the room with Leo. He lies on her hands and slowly moves his arms and legs

"Hey, are you trying to get away from mommy?" she speaks in a sweet voice and kisses his forehead.

"You look just like daddy! Yes you are! Yes you are!" she giggles.

5 hours ago.

Zoe sits next to Danny's bed and just looks at him. Two weeks have passed since he got into a coma and she's been with him all this time. Each of the relatives came to him, all except Jessica. Zoe did not understand why she had never come to him, but she knows that he is here.

A strange sound distracted her from her thoughts and she looked at her son. Danny took a little breath and tried to open his eyes.

"Omg! Danny, my boy!" the tears roll down her cheeks and she takes his hand.

Danny tries to understand where he is and to focus his eyes on his mother.

"I must call the doctor!" Zoe whispers, as she kisses his hand and gets up from the chair, walks into the corridor.

"My son ... he ..."

"Did something happen?!" the nurse asks in a panic.

"He woke up!" Zoe smiles through her tears

"I'll call the doctor!" the nurse says smiling and leaves, and Zoe goes back to the room.

Danny is looking at the ceiling, but when she comes in he turns his head and smiles a little.

"Hi..." he says in a husky voice

"Oh, Danny, you scared me! I'm so glad you're awake!"she sits next to him.

"...don't cry!" he puts his hand on hers.

"Hello, Mr. Huston!" the doctor comes into the room, smiling.

"Now I have to do some tests and maybe we can transfer you to a regular room!"

Danny slightly closes his eyes, nodding his head, then looks at Zoe

"How's Jessie?....She...did she come?"

Zoe looks at him without emotion, not knowing what to say.

"Mrs. Huston....she was here a week ago!" doctor says

"But I didn't see her! She hasn't visited him in two weeks!"

"Because....I'm not sure if I should tell you this."

"He's her husband!" Zoe raises her voice and Danny puts his hand on hers

"Tell me...what's wrong with her!" Danny looks at the doctor.

"I can only congratulate you, happy dad!"

"What?!" Zoe puts her hands on her chest

"But it's still very early..."

"I don't know..."

Danny looks away and silence fills the room.

"I have to go to her!" he's trying to get up, but the doctor stops him.

"You just came out of a coma!"

"I don't care! I have to go to my wife...you know, she gave birth to a triplets and I wasn't there!!! I should have been there!" he raises his voice

"Danny, listen, you will go to her, but a little later..."

"Mom..."

"Danny, lie down on that fucking bed. I don't want to lose you again and you're gonna stay here as long as the doctor says!" Zoe yells at him and starts crying.

"Ok...sorry mom, don't cry!" he takes her hand and lies back.
