  I open my eyes and I see Bruce sitting on a chair leaning into the bed I'm on holding my hand. I gently squeeze his hand making him look at me, mouth wide open.
"You're awake!" He exclaims crashing me into a tight hug.

Unsure of where we both stand in this relationship I hesitantly hug back.
I pulls away and sits back down,still holding my hand. I look around the room and see all of the flowers and stuffed animals everywhere.
"Bruce I–"
"Look. What I said wasn't true. I love you, when I found out about the crash I couldn't live with myself. I've never loved anymore than I love you" he assures with watery eyes. I look at him with sad eyes, I wrap my arm behind his neck and pull him into me. Not being able to resist him I attached my lips to his, kissing him passionately. His hand roams my sides as he hums through the kiss, and I tug at his hair.

A loud cough suddenly bursts causing us to pull away and look to Alfred. How long was he there? Alfred steps forward, Bruce rolls his eyes making me giggle. "Aria, glad that you're awake" he dates with a small smile.
Awake?
I look to Bruce, raising an eyebrow for an explanation. He sighs as he starts rubbing my arm soothingly. "You were in a coma" he says like it's no big deal. I quickly sit up, "for how long!?" I demand. "Four months"
I look to him, my vision blurry due to my tears.
"W-what" I say between cries.
It made sense, but it was so hard to comprehend for some reason.
His eyes soften and he brushes his thumb against my cheek. He was so determined to make me stop crying–from being upset.
And for that I let myself melt in his arms. Feeling loved and safe.
"What did I miss?" I ask once I calmed down.
"Nothing much" he whispers drawing a pattern on my back with his finger. "Gotham being chaotic as usual" he admits.

It clicked, why I got into the accident.
Because of what of the Court of Owls did to Bruce,my Bruce. I unexpectedly pull away from his embrace. "And what about you?" I inquire. "After everything with the Owls" I take a long pause to look up at him. "Are you okay? Like. Up there..." I say tapping his temple referring to his brain. He smiles and nods, "yes. I'm alright."

A nurse walks in, holding a clip board and with a doctor beside her. "Well miss Robinson. I will admit that you woke up sooner that we thought" the doctor explains. "But when you were asleep you were gradually getting healthier which was unusual but outstanding" he adds. "But we still want you to stay another night so we can make sure that you're strong enough to go home" he says with a smile then looks to Bruce. "Mr.Wayne. You're welcome to stay the night" and with that he walks out of the room the nurse following.

I swing my legs over the bed, making Bruce anxious. "What are you doing!" He delivers panicked. "I need to pee! I've been asleep for four months" I say in a duh tone. I stand up and almost fall over but Bruce instinctively wraps an arm around my waist. "You might not be able to walk properly for a while since you were asleep" he says concerned looking down to me. He walks me to the bathroom and opens the door. He starts to walk in but I stop him, "I think I can handle myself from here" I say with a smirk. "Damn Aria, you really know how to bring a boy's hopes down" he jokes. I laugh, give him a quick wink and shut the door.
