A/n: This is just a quick one-shot of what I think might have happened when Tony woke up from his coma.
Disclaimer: Don't own, but it would be so awesome if i did.
Always and Forever
The sound of monitors beeped almost like clockwork. His breathing was steady. And every now and then, the muffled footsteps of nurses rushed past his room. Michelle sat on the single chair in Tony's hospital room. He had been in the coma for weeks now. They had all been taking turns to visit him every day. Sid and Michelle had been the most frequent. On Sid's advice that talking to comatose patients helped them to fight through it, she was sitting there with a scrap book that she had made, full of photos of the good times, with her and Tony, and the others, going through them all with him, talking as she went.
"Oh look, Tony, it's that time we went to the carnival. I've still got that oversized bear you won for me." she said, wiping back tears. Looking at the photos was sometimes painful. The doctors had warned that it may take some time for Tony to completely recover, and that he might have to re-learn many things, such as walking. That was if he woke up at all. They had assured them that he would, but Michelle knew that they weren't confident.
She wondered how long she would be able to manage coming back every few days, talking to a vegetable. She wondered if she would ever move on. No, she thought quickly, mentally slapping herself for thinking of such things. Even if he never woke up, she would always be there for him. Always and Forever.
She reached out and traced his cheek with her hand. "I know I've said this all before, Tony, but please wake up. I need you." she whispered. Tears started to roll down. Michelle succumbed to her sobs. Why did he have to get hit? Right after he had realised how he really felt, why then, after restoring hope that he had changed, did he have to fall into this coma? It was ironically cruel beyond measure.
Suddenly, the monitors increased their beeping. She opened her eyes. His heart rate was increasing. His eyelids flickered. Michelle ran to the door. "Nurse! Come quick!" she called loudly. Michelle dashed back to his side. Tony's eyes flicked open. "Oh Tony!" she hugged him tight.
"Michelle" he managed, his voice raspy.
The nurse on staff dashed in. She saw what was happening and called for the doctor. Asking Michelle to get back, she checked his vitals. The patient had awoken from his coma. Overwhelmed with joy, Michelle jumped back to hold Tony once more. "I love you Tony!" she told him, in between sobs.
"I love you too, Nips."
