Okay I promise we're getting closer to the end of the story. I originally intended it to end already but then I decided to take a different direction because my original one was really boring in my opinion. So PLEASE to continue to review. They always make my day better. Hope you enjoy. And I promise only a few more chapters.

Dr. Thomas found Mick sitting outside the I.C.U., "Mr. St. John?" she said to get his attention.

Mick looked up when he heard his name, "Doctor. How is she?"

"We performed CPR and put her on a blood drip. We'll slowly lessen the amount we give her as she stabilizes. But I'm not going to lie. She's not out of the woods yet."

"Can I see her?" asked Mick.

Dr. Thomas took a deep breath and said, "Yes but there's one more thing I need to tell you. Your wife is in a coma at this point."

Mick stood there shocked, "Will she wake up?"

Dr. Thomas touched Mick's shoulder and said, "We're doing everything we can to save your wife. I promise."

Mick walked back into Beth's room in the I.C.U. to find her breathing steadily. He stood there just listening to her steady "heartbeat."; somehow it was comforting. He sat down and took Beth's hand, "Beth it's me Mick. I know you can hear me so don't act like you can't. I just want to let you know I love you. And Brooke is going to be okay. But she needs her Mommy. Beth, you can't die. And I know you'll pull through. Everything will be okay." With that, Mick kissed Beth's forehead and he finally let the tears escape that had been building up in his eyes.

Later that day, Josef stopped by the hospital to everyone, "Hey buddy."

"Hey," responded Mick.

"How's she doing?" asked Josef nodding towards Beth.

"It's touch and go," said Mick stroking Beth's cheek and ruffling her hair.

"And Brooke?"

"She gets to go home in the next couple of days," said Mick as he looked at Beth, "I guess I'll be taking her home."

"Mick she's going to be okay. Beth's too stubborn and bull headed to die," smiled Josef remembering when he first met Beth.

"I know she'll get through this. We'll all get through this."
