A week later: DK was still keeping his incredibly busy schedule. He would work his shifts then go and sit at the hospital afterwards and sometimes slept. Then the phone call came when he was just out of the shower on a rainy night. He answered " Hello." His mother said" Derek, Anna woke up. She's in some pain right now but she wants you. First word she said was your name an hour ago."
DK blinked. " I'll be right down there mom, tell her to hang tight and that well I love her. Thank God she finally woke up they said it wasn't likely after this long." Then he hung up and went into Johnson's office for a moment.
"My sister is out of the coma Lieu, woke up about an hour ago , can I go down there and see her?"
Johnson replied" There is only about an hour in the shift so yes go ahead, but do one thing for me tonight, please go home and sleep or I will have my girls tie you to your bed for the next week. That is not a suggestion."
DK smiled. "I will I promise, I'm just glad the nightmare is over for now. God I've missed her, maybe we get another chance to start fresh from here."
He went upstairs to change and stopped to tell everybody that his sister had woken up and that he was going to see her.
Billy said" I'm glad things turned around. If Grace wonders where you went I'll fill her in . Just go hug your sister and get some sleep ."
DK nodded. "Thnaks man and you bet I'll hug her. I'm not going to ever fight with her again now that I have her back with me."
