(A/N:OK Please read, enjoy, review. Even the smallest of reviews warms my day & pushes me to write more. I don't own ANY WWE/TNA personal or likenesses, nor any of their family members. This is purely for fun & not based on real events.
You all know the drill. I own no one except the OC in this case Julia Brooks. I know in real life Jason/Christian was in TNA at this point…not in my story. Please read, hopefully enjoy & REVIEW! *Begs*)
It was a few hours before the door to the room opened. A man came in removing the bed that was already in the room. Shortly after he left the bed with Julia in it was rolled in & set into position. It latched onto something attached to the wall. Lana walked in as staff was checking the readings to different monitors built into the bed.
She walked over by the guys who were both looking slightly in a daze watching all the activity over by Julia. She took a seat on the couch by Punk. "Sorry that took longer then planned guys."
"How is she?" Asked Punk.
"She had a isolated tremor to her right arm, then also a few facial ticks. We can't say for sure if she will keep having them or not. Seizures are hard to predict at times. The good news was they were not as bad as the first one Jason witnessed."
Both guys slowly nodded as she continued. "We removed the audio device from her ear. Now there had to be some way of triggering her change even without it. I would guess some how tied to the implant. I would strongly suggest that you give permission for us to operate to see if it can be removed without more harm."
"How dangerous is that?" Punk asked.
"I won't lie. Since she is not awake we will be limited on us knowing if anything is being affected or not."
"Hold on when you operate if she was able…she would have been awake?" asked Jason.
"Yes most brain surgery the person is awake."
"How? Isn't it painful?"
"No the brain itself has no feeling for pain. The scalp would be numbed. If we go ahead we would see how close to the surface the device is. If it is near the surface we should be able to remove it without issues. If it is deeper then a call would need to be made to proceed or not."
Punk shook his head a light sigh. "Do it…I know Dr. Fredon is dead & Nate is in jail…but who knows who else worked for either of them. Safer if it is gone so no chance anyone one else some how activating it."
"OK…we will schedule it for a few days from now. I am sorry Punk I am sure you might have to be back on the road by then?"
"Yeah I will…but I trust you & I know Jason will let me know if anything happens."
"OK…Oh another question. You two talked about having her transported out of state?"
"Yeah." Jason started. "I have a place in Tampa that had more then enough space for when either of you want to visit…plus with the attack at the other hospital."
"I understand. I personally of course would want to keep her here, plus need to watch how often she is moved. You also need to factor in what such a change could do to her once she wakes."
"I know…just hoping with one or both of us there she will adjust to the change. Also once she wakes & can leave my home has a pool & a gym to help her."
Lana thinks for a few moments. "Well I have a colleague down that way. I will see if maybe they have space for a possible extended stay. I am just asking give her about two weeks here. A few days before the surgery & then a week or so after it to make sure she is healing well. Besides maybe if we are lucky she will come to once it is removed for good."
"OK If you have a place in mind We will give you the time…right Punk?"
"Right." Punk still wasn't fully keen on moving her out of Chicago.
"Good I will start the preparations for everything." Lana stand up heading for the door. She stops looking at them "Feel free to touch & talk to her…if she starts any tremors remember they are short lived & try not to worry too much." She then heads out the door & down the hall.
The guys both get up moving to the bed. They both gave a faint sigh of relief at one big change they noticed already. The breathing tube was gone. She still had an oxygen mask covering her nose & mouth, but at least she was breathing on her own again. They sent some time talking to her each holding a hand. She still had the IV hooked up, but didn't see any of the sensors except for a few connected to her head still, but no wires attached.
They wondered if they just didn't remove them, but figured it best they not touch them incase they were needed to reattach later. They guys then took turns staying by her bed while the other would either take a nap on the couch or go get some food.
They actually kept that cycle up the couple days till Punk had to hit the road again. As warned Julia has a few random isolated tremors all of them on the right side of the body. The first day was the worse as they seemed to be happening almost hourly, then they grew less frequent or as intense over the next two days.
On the fourth day was when the surgery was scheduled. Jason was by himself in her room watching TV, reading some magazine he wasn't paying attention to or trying to sleep to past the time.
He didn't know how much time passed when he opened his eyes, but from the window he could tell it was night. Sitting up he just gave a light smile seeing she was back in the room. He got up walking to her bed lightly taking her right hand.
It was only when he got close he could see the surgical staples that held the large incision closed. Some how they managed without needing to remove even more of her hair.
"Hey Jules…I missed you babe." Jason whispered softly before bending over to kiss her hand. Julia was still wearing the oxygen mask.
As he stood there rubbing her hand lightly a nurse came in.
"Good you awake. Dr. Croff told me to tell you from what they can tell everything went just fine."
"Thank you." The nurse came over towards the bed just checking over the incision. She offered a smile before leaving.
"You hear her Jules? God I wish I could know if you could hear us or not again. You no longer need to worry about that crazy doctor playing with your head anymore. Now we just need you strong enough to open your eyes for us…I would love to see your eyes hun. Just to see those rich pools again."
Jason moves a hand to lightly brush her cheek trying not to get drowned in his own emotions. "God Jules…I miss you babe. I miss looking in your eyes…hearing your voice…our times together…even something as small as a smile." He sighed as he bent to kiss her hand again.
For the next week Jason only left to eat & grab fresh clothing. Once Lana confirmed Julia was going to be transferred down to Florida he began making travel plans himself. He made sure Lana had his contact number as well as address for if she could ever make the trip down.
When Punk came into town next Jason made sure he had the information as well. Jason stayed in town until the afternoon Julia was going to be moved. On the few hour flight exhaustion finally started kicking in.
Jason only woke up nearly being shaken by the flight attendant. He left the plane grabbing his bags before going to grab his car from long term parking. He made the drive home. He threw things in the wash & set his alarm as he stretched out again. His home was roomy & airy, the Florida sun giving warmth through the windows of the different rooms.
He got up with the alarm switching wash. He then walked around making note of different things like food he would need to shop for. He then called the hospital down there to check on her transfer. They would only say she was there, but no other information at this time. Also that he would need to wait till morning to visit & talk to the attending doctor.
Walking out by the pool he sighed remembering the dream, but already knew for now it wouldn't be the same. She was breathing on her own again…they had removed her from the added oxygen stating her lung functions were within acceptable levels.
Jason lastly took a walk up to the master suite. He changed for the night not feeling like going shopping that night. Since he was not going to be able to see Julia he figured he might as well get comfortable. He climbed into the bed, but had a hard time actually drifting to sleep just hoping the day comes soon when he can bring Julia there. He wanted her there & always…he just prayed when she wakes up she will feel the same.
The next day Jason headed out meeting with the doctor that was the associate of Lana's. He was quite friendly & understanding of Jason's feelings & concerns. Since Julia was in a stable condition normal visiting hours were now something Jason had to factor in. He was informed that if her condition changed at all he would be called. Once all questions were answered Jason was lead to Julia's room.
It was a private room, she laid there still once again having a look of almost a sleeping princess & how Jason wished he could be the prince she needed to wake her. He spent most of the visiting hours by her side talking to her & watching TV. Jason & when he could Punk would follow the same pattern in hopes that one day she would be awake.
