Devin stared intently down at Josh's face, looking for any kind of movement at all. She'd been in the same position for about an hour, ever since she'd woken up from her dream and felt that small squeeze in her hand. The doctor's had told her that most times it's a gradual process, waking up from a coma, and that it may not even mean he was waking up at all, that sometimes the body just twitched from inactivity, but she didn't care. She knew it was a squeeze, and knew that the dream was real. She wasn't moving.

"Hey, Devin. The hospital just called me. Is everything okay?"

Devin didn't need to move to know that it was Grant.

"Why did the hospital call you?" she asked, not looking away from Josh's face.

"Because I'm the emergency contact for both you and Josh. And they said that something was happening and they couldn't get you to leave," he said as he pulled a chair and sat beside her.

"He's waking up," Devin answered shortly.

"Really? How do you know?" Grant asked, trying to draw the girls attention away from Josh.

"He squeezed my hand," she replied.

"You know the doctor said that that could happen, and it didn't necessarily mean anything, right?" Grant asked gently.

"I know. I mean, ugh, well, this is going to sound stupid if I tell you, and you probably won't believe me anyway," Devin sighed, finally looking away from her brother.

"You do know what we do for a living, right? It's kind of our job to believe in the unbelievable," Grant smiled at her.

She smiled in return, "I sort of had a dream."

"What kind of dream?" he asked.

"Well, Josh sort of "came" to me in it, and- Oh God, I feel so dumb saying this out loud," Devin laughed, hiding her face in her hands.

"Hey, hey, don't feel dumb. Just tell me," he said, pulling her hands away from her face.

"Well, basically, it was him checking up on me, and telling me that he was glad that I was socializing again, and then he told me that he was waking up. And then when I woke up, I squeezed his hand and he immediately squeezed back," she replied, not looking at Grant.

"So that's why you've been sitting here for the past hour?" Grant asked.

"Yeah, you think I'm being dumb, don't you?" Devin asked.

"Not at all," Grant replied, smiling at her.

She returned his smile and went back to looking at Josh.

"You don't have to stay here with me," she said after about ten minutes of silence.

"I'll stay here for a little while longer. Just to make sure you're okay and to see if he does wake up soon," Grant replied.

And so they sat in silence for another hour, Devin watching Josh, and Grant watching Devin.

"Did, did you see that?" Devin asked, quite unsure of herself.

"What?" Grant asked, looking at Josh.

"His eyes. I think he blinked," Devin replied.

They both stared down at the young man as slowly, he blinked his eyes again before opening them completely and staring up at them. Grant heard a thud beside him and looked over in alarm to see Devin on the floor, having passed out and fallen out of her chair. He looked back at the boy on the bed, who was looking at him in shock.

"She's been doing that a lot lately," Grant said, pointing to the girl.

Devin slowly opened her eyes to see a white ceiling above her. She slowly sat up and looked around.

"Hey, babe."

She looked over to see Adam smiling at her.

"What happened?" she asked, rubbing her head.

"Your brother woke up and you passed out," he smiled.

It took a moment for his words to sink in. She turned to him quickly, questioning him with her eyes. He simply nodded at her.

In a flash, she'd jumped out of the bed and was racing down the hall, before realizing she had no idea where she was.

"This way." She looked back to see Adam pointing in the opposite direction.

She ran down the hall and found the room he was in. She burst in the door to see Grant, Jason, Steve, Tango, Patrick, Lucas, and Ellie sitting around the bed. They all looked up at her as she barreled through the door, but she didn't seen any of them. She could only focus on the boy laying in the bed, sitting up an smiling at her.

She wordlessly walked over to the bed and stood beside it. She was silent for a moment as he just smiled up at her.

"Is this a dream?" she asked seriously.

"No, it's not a dream."

She noticed that his speech was a heavily slurred and slightly sluggish, but she couldn't care less. She wanted to hug him, but was afraid that she might hurt him. So she settled for bursting into tears. She buried her face in her hands and just cried.

"Come here," he sighed, smiling as he opened his arms towards her.

Still sobbing, she crawled into the bed beside him as he hugged her. She didn't notice everyone else leaving to give them some time alone.

"I take it you missed me?" he asked as he rubbed her back.

"I thought I was never going to see you again," she sobbed into his hospital gown.

"Yeah, well here I am, good as new. Well, I mean, not really good as new, but you know what I mean," he laughed.

She looked up at him.

"What did the doctors say? Have they examined you yet? How long was I out?" she rambled.

"They say that I will most likely regain the ability to walk in the next few weeks, but I'll probably walk with a limp for the rest of my life due to a crack in my hip. They also said that my speech will probably clear up as well, but other than that, I should be fine. They also said that I might have some short term memory loss for the next month or so, but yeah. And you've been out for half an hour," he replied.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I thought that when you were going to come out of the hospital the next time, it would be for your funeral. I almost-" she stopped, not able to bring herself to admit that she'd almost given up on him.

"Almost what?" he asked, looking down at her curiously.

"I was going to take you off life support next week," she whispered, not able to meet his eyes.

He didn't say anything for a moment, and she was sure he was angry at her, but then he spoke.

"I picked a helluva time to wake up then, huh?

Wow, it's been a while ha ha. This chapter was really hard for me, because I didn't know how to go about waking him up and making it seem real, and whether or not to make him have like brain damage or whatever. But I decided on this and hopefully you like it as well. Drop me a review to tell me what you think or to yell at me for taking so long. Anything, really.
