When Paula had heard the news about Sarah waking up, she automatically went in to see her. Sarah was now sitting up in bed, as bright and cheery as Josef had ever seen her. Ana, who had told Paula about Sarah waking up, was standing outside the doors of Sarah's room, still feeling like an outsider.
"It's so nice to see you awake, Miss. Whitley" Paula said, smiling "I just can't believe it!"
"It's a miracle" Sarah said, stealing a quick glance at Ana, who smiled. She turned back to Paula. "Josef told me how you've taken care of me" she continued, emphasizing Josef's name, so she could get used to calling him that "And I just want to thank you. I am indebted to you"
Paula smiled. "You waking up is all the reward I need"
Paula stared at Sarah for a moment, smiling, and then turned and left the room. Sarah watched as Paula left and as Ana tried to follow.
"Ana! Wait!" she said, causing Ana to turn around "Come here. Don't be a stranger!"
Ana walked towards Sarah. Josef was sitting in a chair on the opposite side of Sarah's bed.
"I just wanted to thank you again for what you did for me" Sarah said "I owe you so much"
"It's nothing really" Ana said
"Yes it is" Josef said "You performed a miracle!"
Sarah smiled at her fiancé. "Anyways, Josef and I want to take you out" she said "Tomorrow, we're going shopping and tomorrow night, we're going to the theatre"
"Oh, you really don't have to do that" Ana said "I don't want you guys to feel obligated, and you have to get used to this new century…"
"It's the least we can do" Josef said "Besides, it will give us ample time to get ready for the wedding!"
Ana smiled. She knew that this was going to happen. "So, when's the date?"
"As soon as possible" Josef said "I don't want to take the chance of losing her again"
Sarah looked at Josef, smiled a small smile, and turned back to her future goddaughter.
"Ana, go and call Mick" Josef said "Tell him and Beth to come to New York. Tell them to bring Nikki and Danielle along. I'll pay for their travel expenses"
Ana, smiled, nodded and headed out of the room to make the call.

Mick, Danielle, and Beth had not been able to find anything as to who started the fire. There was no evidence at the scene. Everything had been burned. All they knew was that the fire had been started by a vampire and that they had used arson.
"Should we tell Ana that it's safe to come home?" Beth asked, sitting on one of the couches at Mick's apartment
"Not yet" Mick said "I think that she should just come home with Josef"
"Josef's visiting Sarah again, isn't he?"
Mick nodded. "He's hoping that, one day, she'll wake up"
Danielle had learned about the tragic tale of Sarah Whitley when she had asked Josef why he was going to New York. She felt so sorry for Josef, having to live with the fact that the love of your life was lying in a coma.
Beth and Danielle looked away, to blink the tears out of their eyes, when Mick's phone rang. They turned back to Mick, only to see a smile on his face.
"Hey, Angel" he said "How's New York?"
Beth and Danielle smiled when they realized Mick was talking to Ana.
"New York is great" Ana said, on the other line of the phone "Why don't you come and see for yourself?"
"Ana, we can't, remember?" Mick said, causing Danielle and Beth's expressions to become confused "We have to make it safe for you to come back"
"I think that you should come to New York"
"Why?" Mick asked "Is something wrong?"
"No" Ana said "Josef's getting married?"
"Josef's what?!" exclaimed Mick
"He's getting married" Ana repeated
"Getting married to who?!" Mick said, causing Beth and Danielle to jump out of her seats
"You're not going to believe this" Ana said, with a chuckle
"Who is Josef marrying, Ana?! Tell me!" Mick said, getting more and more anxious
"Sarah Whitley"
Mick's mouth dropped open. A dazed look spread over his face.
"Mick? What is it?" Danielle said "Who is Josef marrying?"
"Sarah Whitley" Mick said "She woke up!"
"Oh My God!" Beth said, almost squealing
"Yeah" Ana said, hearing Danielle and Beth in the background and not wanting to brag to Mick, Danielle, and Beth about how she saved Sarah "So, Josef wants you, Beth, and Aunt Danielle to come to New York ASAP. He said to bring Nikki with you. He said that he'll pay for everything"
"Tell Josef we'll be there!" Danielle said, taking the phone out of Mick's hand. She hung up the phone and looked at Mick.
"I can't believe she woke up!" Beth said "This is amazing!"
Mick nodded and sighed. "Look's like we're going to a wedding!"
