OK sorry this took long. Had ton of crud to do along with drama. Also, believe this or not. I got a 65 on an essay and then a 68 on a math test. I retook my math test (got 100) and then I just currently finished my rewritten essay. Wish me luck on a better grade because if I don't get a good grade then…. ANYWAYS..

Chapter 9:

Days passed with Lydia staying in a coma, Beetlejuice stood by her every second with the few expectations of the restroom. Delia and Charles were beginning to lose hope.

"It's your entire fault, Beetlejuice. Why couldn't you just leave her alone?" Delia sobbed one day.

"She asked me to remind her." Beetlejuice mumbled.

"YOU COULD HAVE LEFT HER ALONE! LET HER LIVE ON, BUT NO YOU JUST HAD TO SWEEP HER OFF HER FEET AGAIN. NOW LOOK AT HER! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!" Delia screamed, jabbing her finger at Beetlejuice.

A sound made from hand to cheek echoed throughout the room. Barbara was in front of Delia, whose face was turned sideways. That shut everyone for the whole month.

Three weeks have passed with no sign of Lydia coming out of her coma. Everyone's hopes begin to decrease slowly. Beetlejuice began to lose hope too, but he continued his rountine.

Staying beside Lydia, holding her hand, whispering promises and wishes into her ear. Feeding her, giving her medicine. Barbara took care of bathing Lydia.

Adam looked over Lydia when Beetlejuice was sleeping.

Wednesday morning of the fourth week, Beetlejuice watched the sun rise. The reddish orange blended into the pale blue sky. "Lydia, open your eyes and let's see this sun rise." Lydia made no movement except for the rising and falling of her chest.

Beetlejuice couldn't take it anymore. He held her petite hand inside his two hands. She has been losing weight.

"Lydia, wake up. This is not a game. We need you! Come back, Lydia! I need you! We all need you! I want to be your husband! I want you to be my wife, Babes!" Beetlejuice cried, his tears falling on her hand.

"I want to have a family since I know you will raise them right! I love you, Lydia Deetz!"

Adam and Barbara already had appeared in Lydia's room. Adam had his arm around Barbara, both of them shedding tears. Well Adam had one tear going down. Delia and Charles rushed into the room, wondering if Lydia woke up.

"Wake up, Lydia! Wake up! I can't live without you, Lyds! I don't care if you just call me a friend or more as long as I'm with you." Beetlejuice sobbed, saying the words from the bottom of his heart.

"Lydia, c'mon wake up, Babes. It's time to go to school." Beetlejuice, sadly joked.

Delia covered her sobs with her hand while Charles was sniffling. Barbara had buried her face in Adam's chest, crying. Adam hugging her back was also crying, not caring about his tears.

"Lydia…" Beetlejuice softly cried. His energy was dying along with his will power. "See what you do to me. You make me crazy, jealous, happy, proud, angry, sad, and alive. Without you, I'm nothing. I'm incomplete." Beetlejuice whispered, his head falling down onto the bed.

He felt a twitch in his hands. He immediately lifted his head, staring at the hand that he was cradling. He saw the delicate fingers stretch and move. He dropped the hand.

"Lydia..?" Beetlejuice hesitantly asked. He then glanced up to her face to see her long eyelashes flutter. Her face scrunched up in pain, letting out a groan. Delia and Charles quickly positioned themselves in front of her bed while Adam and Barbara went on Lydia's right side.

Lydia sat up slowly, opening her eyes like a slug. Her vision was blurred at first, but it became to focus. The first thing she saw was Delia with eyeliner smeared on her cheeks and beneath her eyes. Then she saw her dad with a dripping nose and tears that threatened to fall from his unshaved beard.

She looked to her right and saw Barbara and Adam staring at her, amazed and nervous. She looked to her left and saw Beetlejuice with his mouth agape.

"Um, Beej, what are they doing," Lydia paused noticing Beetlejuice's ruffled hair and puffy eyes. "Beej, what's wrong? Why do you have puffy eyes and why was my dad crying along with Delia. Why is Adam and Barbara are looking at me, expecting me to, oh I don't know, fall into a coma?"

Everyone took a sharp breath. "Juno." Adam said, summoning a cloud of smoke. "She doesn't remember and you are freaking out." Juno stated, once the cloud disappeared.

"Shouldn't she remember though?" Barbara asked, clearly worried. It was in her eyes and her worry lines were showing.

"In rare cases, the pure souls seem to have amnesia. For Beetlejuice and her, amnesia seems to be frequent. This will proceed to get worse if they stay this close together without properly being married to another. "

"Wait, what?" Delia, Charles, Adam, Barbara, and Beetlejuice said in unison.

"Do I have to explain everything?" Juno took inhaled and exhaled, watching the tendrils of smoke swirl in the air.

"Since Lydia helped Beetlejuice with her pure soul light, they are bound. Without them being officially married, they can't do anything." When her response got answered back with blank stares, Juno decided to simplify it.

"It's like a contract that makes Lydia and Beetlejuice have to get married."

"Well then Babes, what do you say?" Beetlejuice asked, causing everyone to switch their attention rather quickly.

"Getting married? As in right now?" Lydia asked, staring at Beetlejuice with a quizzical look.

"Uh, yeah." Beetlejuice replied.

"But," Lydia paused to look at herself. She saw needles stuck in her skinnier left arm. Confused, she whipped her head to the left side, looking past Barbara and Adam, eyeing the machines.

"I really was in a coma, wasn't I?" Lydia asked, quietly with tears rimming her eyes. Adam nodded softly while Barbara bit her lip. Lydia turned her attention back to Beetlejuice.

"How long?" She whispered.

"This is the fourth week." Delia stated, carefully as if the very sound of her voice will make Lydia go back into a coma.

Lydia slowly turned her attention to Delia. "Fo-Four weeks?"

Charles nodded with tears emerging again.

Lydia let out a small sound, almost a gasp mixed in with a hiccup.

"Lyds." Beetlejuice said to Lydia, making her attention turn to him again.

"Whadda ya say?"

Lydia's brown eyes lit up with excitement. "Let's make you pay up the time you were gone." Beetlejuice teased.

"Beej!" Lydia smiled, not really disapproving his teasing.

"Oh I forgot something." Beetlejuice turned his attention to Charles and Delia.

"Old man and Dels, do y'all approve of me asking for Lydia's hand in marriage?"

Charles grimaced at his 'nickname', but nodded enthusiastically. Beetlejuice stared at Delia, who reluctantly nodded her head in agreement.

"Thank you." Beetlejuice said, sincere.

Beetlejuice looked at Adam and Barbara who already were nodding their heads.

Gazing back at Lydia, Beetlejuice finally asked the question while holding Lydia's hand. While looking into Lydia's big brown eyes with her black raven hair framing her lovely face.

"Lydia Deetz, will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

Seeing the excitement and happiness in Lydia's eyes and hugging her. Embracing her. Beetlejuice felt something click.

'I'm complete now.'


A few more chapters left (sadly).
