Looking into her eyes "Kim. Kim hunny, you cant touch the tube it's to help you breathe, you have to wait for the doctor, try to relax." Amanda explained to Kim while holding her wrists so she couldn't pull the tube out of her mouth.

"hi Kim I'm doctor Robbins, I need you to stay as still as possible. you have been in a coma and I need to removed that tube, if you understand what I am saying can you blink."

Kim blinks at her doctor. While Dr. Robbins pulls Kim's tube out she gets Amanda to hold her hands. After the tube is out Dr. Robbins pulls Amanda out into the hallway to discuss what will happen next.

"when will she be able to speak." Amanda asked

"Because of the breathing tube I won't be able to tell you that, it could take a couple hours, or even a couple of days. its really up to her now, She also may need help with bathroom if you don't feel comfortable doing so their will be a nurse specially just for Kim." Dr. Robbins said

Soon after a nurse comes in to change Kim's IV and to remove her catheter she had in while in a coma.

"Dear you may want to leave the room." the nurse says

Amanda goes to leave the room and Kim grabs her hand unable to speak from the breathing tube she points to the chair, Amanda sits down and holds Kim's hand, while the nurse removes Kim's catheter, feeling embarrassed Kim starts to cry. After the nurse is done Amanda hugs Kim and says "your gonna be okay."

Amanda tells Kim she was going down to the café to get them lunch. After asking Kim four different food places she finally blinks when Amanda says "do you want yogurt and fruit." Amanda heads down to the café and grabs herself and Kim lunch, A sub for herself and a strawberry banana frozen yogurt with real strawberry pieces on top for Kim, as she heads back up to Kim's room she sees nurses rushing in and out.

"what's going on?" Amanda says

"it seems your sister here is having visions from the drugs administered for the depression, she'll be okay we're giving her something to calm her down, but she keeps mumbling something about a guy named Jeff." Dr. Robbins said

"He's her abusive ex-boyfriend." Amanda replied while heading into Kim's room and sits down beside her to help her eat her yogurt. Amanda tells Kim she doesn't need to be a afraid anymore and that she'll protect her from Jeff as long as he lives. Awhile later Amanda and Kim gets a couple of visitors. Olivia and Carisi stop by with a dozen roses.

"I hope you are feeling a bit better Kim." Olivia says

Amanda tells Olivia, Kim is still unable to speak.

"I'm going to use the washroom and grab a bit." Olivia says.

"Can we go for a walk." Carisi asked Amanda

"Are you gonna be okay here by yourself for a couple of minutes?" Amanda asked Kim

Kim nodded her head and fell back to sleep. Amanda and Carisi head outside and talk about last night, Amanda smiled at Carisi.

"I was wondering after your sister is all better and your feeling up to it maybe I could buy you supper some night." carisi said to Amanda

"Yeah, yeah that would be great." Amanda mostly whispered while leaning in to kiss Carisi. After talking Amanda and Carisi head back in and go to the cafeteria to find liv, she was getting a coffee and doughnut. They all head back up to Kim's room and realized she finally was asleep.

"She has been having such a hard time sleeping." Amanda said

"Sleep is a really good thing for her right now, we're gonna head out. You have the month off just until Kim can get back on her feet. I'm gonna go grab the car Carisi ." Liv said knowing something was going on between Amanda and Carisi.

"You have a beautiful smile." Grabbing the back of her neck pulling her closer and kissing her Rosie pink lips. After Amanda watched Carisi walk down the hallway and leave she turns around to Kim's open eyes and big beautiful smile.

Awhile after Kim's doctor comes in

"Kim's head scan is cleared. She can eat with help of course but Kim's ready for the next step, tomorrow a ambulance will be transferring Kim to a therapy health center where she will get Daily counselling, daily sessions and of course a room for you and her to stay. I really do hope Kim can get passed this, it may take awhile but never give, always be happy around Kim and always remember to make her believe in herself, also after physical therapy I will schedule an appointment for Kim to come see me again, see how everything is going." Kim's doctor said

After a very long day Amanda gets Kim her drink and after tucks her in, turns out the light and they both go to sleep because tomorrow would be a very long day also.
