Chapter 52: Silent Talk
"Richard!" I scream in horror and run to where his body is lying next to his car that engulfed in flames. Bruce and Alfred come running behind me.
"Someone call 911!" Alfred yelled. My mom is one step ahead of him as she is already on the phone with the 911 operator.
I lean down beside him and start to panic when I hear his shallow breathing. I start doing CPR to no avail "Wake up Please", I said and gently slap his face.
"Kori!" Bruce kneels down by my side, "You need to go back inside", he said and tries to pull me away.
"NO!" I yelled, "I'm not leaving him!" I yelled.
Bruce looks at me sadly, "Ok", he said understanding, "At least let me move him away from the flames, smoke inhalation isn't going to help either of you", he said.
"Ok", I said. Richard is too heavy for me to move by myself, my dad and Ry move him over to the lawn away from the smoke and fire.
I take off my cardigan and place it under Richard head more tears start running down my face as Richard is still motionless.
"Please don't leave me like this", I said as I lean down and start to cry into his chest. Everything that happens after that is one big blur. The fire truck arriving trying to put out the fire, the ambulance and paramedics trying to pry me off Richard's body, Richard being placed on the stretcher, Bruce and I hopping into the ambulance.
"We're losing his pulse!" one of the paramedics said, "He's going into cardiac arrest!" he said.
I stare in horror as I see the heart monitor flat line
The paramedics pull out the defibrillator and place the pads on Richard's chest.
"Clear!" the first shock is delivered.
"Clear!" the second shock is delivered and there is still no heartbeat.
"Clear!" the third shock is delivered.
I close my eyes, "Please Richard come back to me", I whisper.
After what seems like forever, I hear the faint sound of beeping on the monitor.
"We have a heartbeat", one of the paramedics said. Bruce reaches for my hand and gives me a small squeeze, I glance over and him and can tell he is thinking the same thing. Richard may be alive now but we weren't out of the woods yet.
Three days.
It had been three days since The Dick Grayson association attempt. At least, that what every news outlet was calling it CNN, NBC, even The View and TMZ were talking about. As soon as word got out swarms of paparazzi surround the hospital, the crowd of supporters and reporters grew each day.
"I wish you could see this", I said as I glance out the hospital window at the crowd below me. I close the curtain and take a sit in the chair next to Richard's hospital bed.
"If you were awake now you'd probably say something like "Well I am the prince of Gotham baby, this is how I roll", I said and laugh. I imagine Richard laughing at my bad attempt to imitate him, I sigh sadly wishing I could hear his laugh. Richard still lies motionless in his hospital bed hooked up to the breathing tube and other machines.
I hear a knock on the door, "Come in!" I yell.
"Hey", Rachel said as she comes in the door with flowers in hand.
"Hey", I said our friends have been stopping by every day since Richard had been admitted to the hospital. I was more than grateful for their support as much as I was trying to hold it together I was slowly starting to fall apart.
"You brought flowers? That's unlike you", I said.
"The flowers were Gar's idea", she said, "I bought you a book of poetry too", she said.
"Ah", I said, "That's more like you", I said, "Thank you both", I said.
I take the flowers and the book and sit it on the nightstand.
"Still no change in his condition?" Rachel asked.
I shake my head, "None", I said, "He's still in a coma, he didn't get the full blast of the explosion, the police believe that he opened the car door and sensed something was wrong and tried to step away or run but it was too late. He flew back and hit the ground and the impact caused him to go into a coma", I said, "When we go to the emergency room, the surgeon said there was so swelling in the brain, broken ribs and a broken arm-" Tears start to form in my eyes, "I'm scared Rachel, what if he doesn't wake up?" I asked.
"Shh Kori", Rachel said and she rubs my back trying to comfort me, "It's going to be ok, He will wake up", she said.
"How do you know?" I asked between tears.
"I've known Dick pretty much my whole life and he is a fighter. You both are, you've been through hell and back and you both came out stronger than ever. He will wake up Kori, you can't give up hope yet", she said.
"Your right", I said, "Thank Rachel", I said.
Rachel gives me a hug, "What are best friends for", she said.
It has been another 2 weeks and Richard was still in a coma. My family and friends are the best anyone could ask for. They finally stopped trying to convince me to leave the hospital and go back home. I honestly thought about it since it felt like my belly was getting bigger by the day but I wanted to be by Richard's side when he woke up. I continued to talk to Richard like he was there, read to him, watch TV, whatever I could do to keep my sanity.
I finish reading the poetry book and sit it down on the bed, "I made an OBGYN appointment today, we are going to find out the twins gender soon", I said, "If you don't wake up soon I'm going to reschedule it, there is no way I'm going to have that moment without you", I said.
I tap my chin, "Let's see what happened today! Oh the babies kicked today", I said, "I think they definitely inherited your martial art skills, it feels like Mortal Kombat is going on in my belly sometimes", I said.
"Bruce also stopped by to see you, he looked sadder than usual. We talked for a bit and he's worried about you too", I said, "Alfred came by but he only stepped in for a minute, I think it's too painful for him to see you like this", I said.
I sigh,"Arrg I think I'm going crazy, talking to you like this", I said, "But the doctor said that this is good for your brainwaves and that there is a slight possibility that you might hear me", I said.
I sigh and reach for his hand and stroke his forehead with my free hand, "Do you remember our two month anniversary when we were just dating?" I asked. "I do, I remember you knew I wanted to do something simple and meaningful so you took me out for dinner and ice cream. But with you usual Grayson charmed you managed to surprise me. You took me to a flower shop and you said that you wanted to make one more stop. I didn't care when or where as long as I was with you. When you pulled in front of Gotham Graveyard I knew. Your parent's grave was the first thing that came to my mind. I think that was the first date ever that you truly opened to me. As soon as you placed the flowers on their grave you told me of The Flying Grayson's, the adventures you had and the places you traveled. Then that fateful night when they died, your parents were finally going debut a new act with you as the star. You had rehearsed and rehearsed and couldn't be more excited. You said you mom was so proud of her—what was? I forgot what she used to call you"
"Robin", I hear someone say.
I freeze and glance over and see Richard open his eyes, "She called me her little Robin", he said and turns and glances at me.
"And you are my guiding Star", he said and smiles.
