"Heyyyyyyy MarrrrRyan...Okay shoulda seen that coming. I sooo gotta learn to knock" Summer and Seth were the first ones to get there and were a little surprised, to say the least, when they walked into Marissa's room only to find Ryan and Marissa asleep on the bed cuddling each other. "Awww.Isn't that cute!?" Summer said as she walked to the door and saw what Seth was rambling about "Why can't you ever be like that?" Summer said hitting Seth across the arm "Ouch"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryan woke up feeling someone watching him. For a second it took him a while to realise where he was but when he did he sat up, careful not to move Marissa, and watched her sleeping more peacefully then he had seen for the last 3 years. Then he realised everyone would be getting here soon, when he felt like someone was watching him again. He shook his head to get rid of the feeling and looked up. That's when he saw them staring. "Haha uh hey guys"Ryan said awkwardly "Geez man you can't even keep your hands of her for more then one night" Seth joked. "Well she has been in a coma for 3 years" Ryan replied just as Summer went to hit Seth again. "Yeah good point man...But I suggest you get out of her bed and freshen up a bit. Everyone will be here soon!" Seth reminded. "Yeah, thanks. I'm just gonna go in here and get fixed up" Ryan told them pointing to the bathroom. "Well I guess well wait for her to wake up...again...wow how ironic...she just got out of a coma and now we are waiting for her to wake up again...burgh" Seth commented and shivered as he thought about the bizzarness of it all. "Yeah we'll wait here for her to get her ass out of bed and for the others. Take your time" Summer said giving Seth a weird look and then turning to Ryan again. Ryan shook his head at his 2 best friends bantering and then entered the bathroom, locking the door behind him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seth your such an ass...and stop playing with everything. Just sit down and stop fidgetting. God your such a kid" Summer nagged "Hey what did I do?Just coz you're getting antsy doesn't mean you have to take it on me" Seth laughed but Summer didn't find it funny and instead shot him a death glare. "Unless you want me to go rage black out on your ass you'll sit down and shut up" She threatened. Seth and Summer hadn't noticed but Marissa had woken up and now she was laughing at the 2 of them. It had been so long she had seen them and heard their bantering and she was glad she was back. "COOP!!!" Summer ran over and hugged her best friend. "Don't mind dorkface. He's just being a dumbass" "Oi. And hey Marissa"Seth interupted and gave Marissa a hug. "Hey" She replied. "Shut up Cohen. So ...How are you feeling? Did Ryan get you up-to-date with everything? God you had to keep us all waiting and hoping didn't you? Ohhh, I'm so happy you're awake. Now maybe I can actually get married!" Summer blurted out not giving Marissa a chance to reply. "Yeah Ryan told me everything and I'm sorry it took me so long to wake up. But I'm feeling much better now and hopefully we can get through this wedding soon. You must be so excited" "Hell yes. My best friend , and my maid of honour, is awake and as soon as she's better I'm getting married. I'm totally excited" Summer said hugging Marissa again. Marissa laughed at her friend. "Maid of honour hey!?" "Yeahhh. I made a promise remember, like when we were 5 and I said you'd be mine and you said I would be yours, and I intend on keeping that promise" Summer replied in a demanding voice. "Oh my god. I've missed you soooooo much Coop" "I've missed you too Summ" "Hey what about me?" Seth put on his fake sad face. "Yes you too Seth. I've missed everyone" Marissa added. Especially Ryan She thought to herself. "Where's Ryan gone?" Marissa asked. "God Coop. I come to see my best friend and all you want is Ryan" Summer joked and laughed at her friend. Summer knew they had a strong bond and saw how down Ryan had been. "I'm right here. Its okay. I just had to freshen up before everyone came" Ryan interupted. He had been standing in the door way watching the love of his life and their best friends. "I thought you'd left or something" "Hey I told you I wouldn't leave" Ryan reassured her as he walked over to her and grabbed her hand. Marissa looked into his eyes, apologising without saying a word, and then gently pulled him down. Ryan realised what she was doing and carefully sat up against the pillows with her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just then Julie, Neil and Kaitlin rushed in. "Oh my baby. Your awake!" Julie ran to Marissa ad gave her a huge hug. "Hi mom" How are they treating you? Are you feeling okay?" Julie fussed. "I'm fine mom and the staff are good" "Good. Oh I'm so happy your awake baby. I shouldn't have let you go" Julie sat down in the chair next to Marissa and held her hand "I'm fine now and I wanted to go rmember" Julie nodded. After all the fuss Kaitlin walked over and hugged her sister. "Had to steal my spotlight again didn't ya sis!?" Kaitlin joked "But I'm glad your okay. Oh here are some of your clothes and things. Thought you'd be sick of the hospitals dodgy unfashionable clothes" "Thanks Katy. Yeah. They're not the best" Marissa congratulated her mom and Dr Roberts on their marriage and everyone was chattering away and joking. When 3 other visitors arrived. "Hey Marissa. How you going sweetie?" Kirsten came over and hugged her "Yeah good now that everone's here!" "We'll not everyone" Sandy interrupted. "Anna and Luke are flying down today and should be here tonight so they said they would visit you tommorow" "They didn't have to do that" Marissa replied "You've been asleep for 3 years and they have missed you so they said there was no way they were staying away" Sandy laughed. Kirsten had just taken a tired Sophie out of her pram and noticed the look of slight confusion on Marissa's face when she realised she had never seen Sophie before. "Oh I'm sorry. I forgot you've ever actually seen her. I take it told you about little Sophie here?" "Yeah he did. Congratualtions by the way. She's adorable" "When she's not grumpy anyway" Sandy laughed "Hey sweetie do you remember Marissa. Well she's awake now ...see" Kirsten told her pointing to Marissa. "Mawissaaaaaaa!!!" Soph chirped up. Kirsten put her on the bed but held her. "But remember what we said...you have to be very gentle!" "Okay mommy" Sophie ran over to Marissa and gave her a hug "Hi Mawissa. Are you all better now?" "Hello Sophie. I'm not all better just yet but I will be soon" Marissa said softly. "Well when your betta will you and Wyan look after me?" "Sure sweetie" "He loves you, you know!?" Sophie stated. Everyone laughed and Marissa turned to a reddening Ryan. She looked in his eyes "Yes. I know" Sophie sat in Marissa's lap and they all talked for ages. Everyone making sure Marissa knew everything about what had been happening and putting it there perspective. "Did Ryan tell you he has his own company now?" Sandy asked trying to shock her. "Yes he told me it was doing well. He's done really well by the sounds of it" "Done well? That's an understatement. He's a freaking millionaire" Seth choked out. Marissa looked at Ryan with a surprised look on her face. A happy surprise though. "And he even bought..." Seth went to add but Ryan put his finger to his throat, threatening him so he'd shut up. Marissa looked at Ryan when Seth quietened and Ryan just looked at Seth. Marissa looked back at Seth "He bought what?" Marissa tried "Ahhh... he bought this really nice car. Yeah" Seth lied. Ryan wanted it to be a secret. At least for now. Luckily Seth came up with the car thing. Phewph...That was a close one. He would have killed me if I let that slip.Geez Seth you gotta get used to this holding back secrets thing...otherwise someone is gonna kill ya one day. And that will probably be one of Summ's rage black outs. Ahhh! That's a very scary thought.
Marissa had been sitting up for a while and Sophie was still sitting in her lap laying against her front. Marissa wouldn't say anything but it was starting to hurt a little and all she wanted to do was lay down again. Ryan had asked if she was alright a few times but she didn't want to spoil everyone's good time so she coped with the pain and lied saying she was fine. Ryan knew she wasn't but it had been so long sinc they'd all seen her and had time with her awake ...and seeing her being so loving with Sophie was too good to ruin. However, Kirsten noticed the pain and tiredness etched all over Marissa's face and decided to help her out. " Okay Sophie come to mom. I think Marissa needs a little rest and I think time for us to all go get some lunch" Kirsten finished implying to everyone to give Marissa a rest for a little while. At least while they went for lunch. "Yeah I'm hungry" Kaitlin added and the rest agreed their stomaches were definitely grumbling for food. Everyone was starting to get up and leave. Julie didn't want to at first but Neil convinced her that it would be best to give Marissa some time to rest and gain some more strength, She reluctantly agreed when Kaitlin bugged "Cmon mom. I NEED some food. Hurry up" Julie turned to Marissa "We'll be back in an hour or so honey" "Okay mom" And with that they left. Marissa relaxed and layed back down on the pillows as Ryan started to get up off the bed. "I think I might let you get some sleep as well and go get something to eat" "No. I don't want to sleep. I just need to lay down again and get a little peace and quiet for a while. Please...stay" Marissa said quietly. "You should rest Riss. I don't want you wearing yourself out" Ryan tried "I'm fine. I know you're trying to be caring but all I need is for you to come lay back down with me. Please" Ahh I can never say no to her. Not when she's looking at me like that. Ahhh "Okay. Just give me a sec and I'll be right back"
Ryan ran out of the door and down the hall to catch up with Kirsten and Sandy. "Hey guys. Marissa wants me to stay. I think she's afraid I won't come back. Is it alright if I miss lunch with yous?" "Sure son. Did you want us to bring you something back?" "Yeah. That'd be great. Thanks. I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday and I'm really hungry. But I don't think I should leave her" "Sure that's fine Ryan. We'll be back in an hour. Okay!?" "Thanks you guys" Ryan finished and walked back to Marissa's room. "Sorry" "Where'd you go?" Marissa asked sweetly. "I just had to tell Kirsten and Sandy that I was gonna stay here and see if they could get me something to eat. I haven't had anything since yesterday at lunch you know" Ryan laughed getting onto the bed and laying carefully next to Marissa. Getting back into the same positions they were in earlier. Ryan on one side with one armed wrapped around Marissa's shoulders and the other hand holding hers. "Oh. If it's been that long then maybe you should go with them" "Oh so one minute you want me and now you're trying to get rid of me" he joked. God. Never. I've missed that smile wayyy to long! mmm I just want to kiss you right now! "No. Just it's my fault you haven't eaten so if you want to go then you should. I'd be okay for a little while if you want to?" She asked uneasily "Ahh but if I went I couldn't do this" Ryan lifted Marissa's chin up and kissed her softly on the lips. "mmm. I'm glad...I made... you stay ...now" Marissa replied inbetween kisses. "So am I" Ryan thought as he savoured the taste of Marissa's lips
