A/N: What happened to Veronica is still a mystery but it will begin to unravel in the next chapter. Just stick with me... you won't be disapponted. Sorry, for any grammatical errors. Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for the reviews.
Chapter 1:
Veronica laid in bed. She seemed so fragile, so scared, it broke his heart to see her like that.
His eyes were filled with unshed tears, "Monica, why didn't she recognize me? What's wrong with her?"
"That can happen to patients in her state. It can be something temporary. I need to go to the hospital to get a couple of things. I will be back a bit later." With that Monica grabbed her equipment and left the house.
He sat there thinking and praying for it to be something momentary. He wanted her to wake up again and know exactly who she is. Who he was… It was all just a bad dream. It had to be.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Dad, what happened? I heard screaming." A girl asked sounding very concerned.
The man stood up kissed his wife on the forehead, grabbed his daughter's hand, and pulled her out of the room. "Honey, we need to talk. Come on. Go get your brother and meet me in the living room."
"Yes, daddy." She did as she was told.
In the living room.
"Daddy, sis told me mommy woke-up today. Can I see her?" the little boy said.
He patted him on the head, "Mommy did wake up but she still isn't well. She's going to need all our help so she can get better soon."
"We'll help, dad. We want mommy to be okay." Both said in unison.
"Sir, sorry to interrupt, but Monica is back with Dr. Hernandez."
"Good. Take them to my wife's room I'll be right there."
"Right away sir."
"Kids I think it would be better if you didn't go to school today. Your mother needs you. Go to your rooms and change out of your school clothes."
Both children went up stairs to change while their father went to back into their mother's room.
Dr. Hernandez was checking her pressure while Monica was checking her reflexes.
"How's my wife?" his expressions showed worry but his tone yelled frustration.
Dr. Hernandez looked over at him and replied, "She will remain sleeping for a couple of hours because Monica gave her an anesthetic. It is very important not to agitate her. She needs plenty of bed rest. After all she has been unconscious for nearly 12 months."
"Why doesn't she remember anything?" He asked fretted.
"Like I said before it's been a while since she's been conscience. When she feels better you need to take her to the hospital so I can run some test on her. To see how long this will last. In the mean time, you need to be her by her side anything or anyone to help her remember who she is would be of great help."
He nodded his head in agreement.
With that Monica walked Dr. Hernandez to the front door.
"Sweetie, you need to remember who we are. We've missed you so much. I need you-"
He stopped when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Sir, Dr. Hernandez said he would be on call 24/7 just in case you needed anything from him."
"I have to make a couple of phone calls, I'll be right back."
A couple of hours later.
The little boy had sneaked inside his mother's room after lunch without anybody noticing.
"Mommy, please wake up. Daddy said you're still sick…" the little boy began sobbing. He couldn't remember the last time his mother tucked him in at night or gave him a kiss on the head, or the last time she said 'I love you.' He was too small to remember those times.
He gently kissed her on the cheek and fell asleep next to her.
"Keith! Where are you?" A soft voice yelled around the house. "This isn't funny. Come out already."
She had looked for him throughout the whole house and had no look. There was one room she still hadn't gone to her mother's. She slowly opened the door not wanting to wake up her mom and found him sleeping there by her side. Here eyes became really glossy; she felt a knot in her throat, at the sight.
She walked back outside closing the door gently behind her.
"What's wrong honey?"
"… I found Keith sleeping right beside mom."
He pulled her into a tight embrace. He felt her shaking in his arms as she began to cry.
"I miss her too… I miss hanging out with her, having our quality time, I miss her so much!" She said in between sobs.
"I know honey." He hugged her tighter. "The important thing is that now she finally is awake. Things can slowly get back to normal."
She nodded.
Later that night, Keith came out to the living room looking for his sister.
"I'm hungry."
She smiled when she heard his voice, "I'll go to tell Hilary to make you something okay?"
"K." He sat down on the couch and began watching cartoons.
After that she went upstairs to see her mother.
She walked inside, to find Veronica wide awake.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. Did you need anything?" She asked very nervously.
Veronica looked up at her, she seemed very familiar, she had beautiful long blonde hair, and blue sparkly eyes, "Who are you?"
A tear streamed down her face while others soon followed as she ran out the room. She bumped into her dad in the hallway.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"Mom, didn't recognize me. You said she was sick you never mentioned this. You lied!"
"This may be temporary. Dr. Hernandez doesn't know for sure but that is why we have to be there for her more than ever to help her remember, okay?"
"I need to go call your grandfather." She looked up at him very upset. "He needs to know his daughter finally woke up. Now, go talk to your mother."
"Yes, dad."
