(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*)

Jason was at home going over last minute preparation for his visitors. Punk was coming in with Colt, Lana said she would try to get one of her partners to take over her work load for few days. And Adam was on his way there now. He knew he would have a very full house.

It was the holidays but part of him didn't care. The one thing he wanted most still seems out of his grasp. So close that he could see it, but he couldn't get it. Hearing the door bell he headed towards the front as he tried to put on a good face as he opened it greeting Adam.

"You ok bro?" Adam asked Jason as he walked in with his suit case.
"OK? Yeah I'm ok why?"
"Just looks like your not sleeping right…"
"It's nothing."
"OK man…oh we need to talk once I get settled where am I this time?"
"Well you go two choices…either the pull out in my den or bunking in the king with me."
"OK what's with the other rooms?"

"Well the one room I have friend of Julia's staying in when she comes in a couple days. I guess you can use her room till then. The other room Punk & his buddy Colt are using when they show tomorrow."
"Dang got a full crew. You could of told me man."
"What & have you go bug the hell out of your mom."
"Well yeah…she complains I never visit her enough as it is."
"Well you want to go…go."
"Well I just thought you could use the support. Looks like you will have enough of that for a while."

Jason slowly nods. "OK well take the single room for tonight then."
"OK thanks." Adam carries his bag upstairs & then meets with Jason to share a beer.
"So what you need to talk to me about."
Adam lightly sucks on his teeth before he began to talk. "I was told you bring you a message…more then likely you will get a phone call in the next day or two or a letter."

Adam runs a hand over his mouth and jaw before continuing. "They are setting for you to come back either right after new years…they MIGHT try to push it to the rumble, but I heard not to bet on that."
"No…no I can't go back…"

"Jay you need to…you don't you can be in breach. Plus be honest with yourself man…it is going on four months. You are running yourself ragged. You are obsessing over her, I can understand to a point. It's not healthy for you though. Come back on the road, try to take your mind off of all this while there, then your days off fly back if you need to. Punk's been doing it & he is her family."

Jay slowly nodded. "Yeah you have a point man, it is just so hard."
"Yeah…well…wish I had better news for you."
"Me too."

Everyone got up that morning. It was lightly raining outside. Adam had flown out before Lana arrived telling Jason he would see him in a few weeks. Lana was helping Jason prepare breakfast when Punk & Colt made they way down to eat.

After eating they all got ready to head for the hospital. The visits pretty much went as they have for the last few months. Almost four months since this started & the last three with hardly a change. Colt couldn't stay long before it felt too much for him heading outside to the hall.

Punk followed a few minutes later leaning on the wall next to him. "You ok man? I know dumb question."
"Yeah…I'm just trying to place everything still. Remember she was...damn mean is almost like a little sister to me man. I know we aren't really related but it still hurts."

Punks lightly nods trying to ignore Colt's slip up. "Yeah I know…and at this point the four of us is the only family she has. I been trying to get her parents to understand what happened and forgive her. Just won't happen though."

Colt lightly nodded with a brief sniffle. "Shame she doesn't deserve any of this." He sighed pushing off the wall. "I'm going to track down the chapel in this place." Punk just gave him a puzzled look. "Hey any faith can use them…He hears you no matter where you are." He pats Punk's shoulder before heading down the hall.

Punk headed back inside & they stayed a few hours before deciding to track Colt down & head out. Good thing to as the rain picked up into a massive thunderstorm that night.
"I thought hurricane season was over." commented Colt as they went into the theater room Jason had.
"It is." Jason told him. "He's just kicking a racket upstairs is all. Nothing to worry about."
"You sure?"

"Positive relax." Jason got up walking to the sliding doors in the room that lead to his pool room. He pulled the curtains back looking out. He could see the rain sheeting down the glass ceiling & walls of the pool room. It did seem pretty heavy, but if that house has survived a few hurricane seasons already it could survive this.

After the movie went off they headed up for bed. Lana stopped Jason after Punk & Colt headed for their room. "Yes."
"Jay…it's bee a while since she came down here…have you been to any clubs?"
"No…" He lightly pulled from her touch. "I…I wouldn't feel right."
"You know that doesn't do well on your system."
"I…I know…but I do-don't think I could try to trust anyone else."

"I know it is not the same…but you want me to work in re-centering you?" Jason thinks a moment before nodding. "OK Take a seat." They walking into the dinning room where Jason sits down. Lana lightly places a hand on each shoulder as she closes her eyes focusing.

She was not overly pleased with what she was feeling. Jason's energy was muddled. He had been so focused on Julia he kept forgetting to worry about himself & it was showing physically. Now Lana could also see some of the toll it was taking mentally & spiritually.

She had over heard Jason talking to Punk about him being forced back on the road. To a point she felt it may be one of the best things for him. He needed the distraction. After a few moments she removed her hand a small sigh from her lips. "Jason if something doesn't change soon you are going to make yourself sick. Now go get some rest."

"Ok…I'll try." Jason got up heading up to bed. He knew everyone was worried about him & he hated that. He felt he was fine. He just worried what would happen once Julia was awake if he had to be on the road.

X.X.X

Just before midnight the storm seemed to hit it's peak as lightning streaked the air. A central transformer for the hospital got hit plunging the whole building into a dim blue light. Any room with critical patients soon came back online with limited power.

In a room passed over in the rush a pair of long asleep eyes slowly open. Their body felt like it was pressed down with lead weights when they attempted to move.
'Where…wh-what?' She slowly moved her arms the muscles protesting from lack of use.
"He…hello?" Her voice croaked out in the darkness. As she went to place a hand to her throat she felt something brush against her hand. Slowly reaching over she felt the plastic tube following it down towards her arm where the IV was.

'A hospital? What happened? Why is it so dark? Am I blind?' She was answered when a flash of lightning lit up her room briefly. 'Must be power. I thought these places had generators.'
"Hello? Anyone out there?" She tried to call again her mouth felt so dry. She coughed with a cringe feeling a pain in her abdomen. Carefully feeling the area she felt another tube. 'What the hell is this?'

She tried to shield her eyes as the power came back on. Lowering her hand she looked knowing somewhere near her should be a button of some kind. Finding the controls she hit the red nurses button. It took a few minutes before someone walked in.
"Damn glitch…Oh you're awake…Good…how you feeling?"
"Co-confused."
"That is not surprising Miss. Let me go place a call into your doctor. Are you in any pain?"
"Th-throat & abs…all over ache."
"OK Once I get clearance I'll give you something to help." Julia slowly nodded before the nurse walked out. Julia then took a hold of the control box again turning on the TV scrolling channels.

She stopped when something puzzling caught her eye. It was the date in the corner of one of the stations. December 25, 2006. 'No…no that's can't be…wh-what happened to me?' Her heart raced slightly in a panic. She closed her eyes trying to calm her breathing. Instinctive behavior she started to run her thumb nail over her index finger. She was freaking & had no way to calm herself.

The nurse came in . "Ok the doctor is on his way in…Miss?" She walked over checking Julia's pulse then saw the TV on. "It's ok Miss…you been out a long time…your are safe, just relax. I have something for the pain." Julia lightly nodded the nurse moving to place the pain medication in her IV.

Very carefully using a straw she had Julia take a few sips of water before helping her try to get comfortable. The nurse then took her controller shutting the TV. "It's best to just rest till the doctor gets here, we will also call your family to let them know."

"Thank you."
"Of course miss it is what we are here for…rest for now. I know it sounds silly since you just woke up, but trust me you will still be tired." The nurse gave Julia a warm smile before leaving the room. She didn't want to fall back asleep, scared she would not be able to wake up again. She was slowly pulled into a light sleep despite her wanting to protest.
