This is a shorter chapter, but it says all it needs to. Anjmaga27, you hit it right on the nose. Thank you all for the reviews, keep them coming. I love reading what y'all thought of the chapter. I have a poll set up on my profile if you want to be apart in naming the baby boy!

"Mr. and Mrs. Flynn, your son is stable now, but still in critical condition. We will come and get you when you can come see him," Sharon heard these words, but didn't believe them. "He was in pretty bad shape when the EMTs brought him in."

The police took them to sit down and walk them through what happened. "Your son was stopped at a red light and was rear-ended by a SUV going 30 miles over the speed limit. His car was propelled forwards and hit an eighteen wheeler. Your son did nothing wrong. We already have the driver of the SUV in custody." He could see the pain in Sharon's eyes and decided to leave them to process.

The two of them sat there in awe. How could life be so good, then come crashing down. They sat there for what felt like forever when the doctor finally came to take them to Rusty. As they reached the room where he was in, Sharon could feel that mothering instinct. She knew this was going to be bad. When they went in the room, Sharon turned and clutched her husband's shirt collar, "Oh, Andy!" she exclaimed as rolls of tears streamed down her face. There were tubes and wires all around her son. She had never seen him look so helpless. That, along with raging hormones, produced even more tears.

Andy had never seen his wife so emotional. All he could do was hold her and tell her everything was going to be alright. As he said those words, they were partly for her wellbeing, and partly for his own reassurance. Sharon stayed by her son's side for two days. Andy tried to get her to go home, to get some rest, but she wouldn't budge. "What if he wakes up, and I'm not here. What if something goes wrong, Andy?" She slept on the couch the nurses brought in for her and was there for everything the doctors were doing. After a week, Andy had to go back to work, but Sharon wouldn't leave.

"Mrs. Flynn, we don't know when Rusty will wake up. It's better for you to get back to your normal life," the doctor tried to tell her. She wouldn't listen.

"When my son gets back to his normal like, so will I."

Nothing had changed for another week, then one night, Sharon asleep on the couch, heard some gasps. As she looked up, she saw her son awake and trying to breath. She ran and got the nurse. The nurse took the tube out of Rusty's mouth and Sharon felt a wave of emotion rush over her. As tears began to fall, she hugged her son and kissed his head.

"Oh, Rusty! I'm so happy you're awake," she said looking right into his eyes. Then with shaking her finger at him she turned into Darth Raydor, "Now, don't you ever scare me like that again!"

"Mom, what happened?"

"You were in a car crash. A drunk driver rear ended you at a stop light and sent you into an eighteen wheeler. You've been asleep for the past two weeks."

Then, the doctor walked in. He checked Rusty's vitals and eyes, making sure everything was in working order. "I still want to do a head CT, but that can wait until tomorrow. Glad to see awake, Rusty." He then walked out and scheduled the CT for the next day.

Sharon had called Andy, who called Nicole, who called Emily, who called Ricky, and sooner or later, everyone was all surrounding Rusty. They all talked for hours, telling Rusty everything he missed. At around 8 o'clock, they started to leave, until it was just Andy and Sharon.

"You two can go. I'm fine now. Mom, Emily said you never left my side?" Rusty questioned.

"She wouldn't go home," Andy said looking at his wife.

"Go home, Mom."

"Just one more night," she said. "Just to make sure everything is fine."

"I'll stay with him," Andy said. "You need to go home. Sleep in your own bed tonight. I'll stay with Rusty and call you if anything changes."

Sharon mouthed the words "Thank you" to Andy and then gave her son a hug and kiss. "I'm just a phone call away," she assured him.

"I'm not five going to my first sleepover, Mom," Rusty said and Andy chuckled.

Andy walked Sharon out of the room and down to the elevator. "He's fine now. He's awake and laughing and talking," Andy tried to soothe her.

"But I'm still his mother, so I'm allowed to worry," she glared at him

"Go home, take a bath, and sleep in our bed. You can come back tomorrow."

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

"Maybe you should remind me," he said with a gleam in his eyes. As she kissed him, the baby kicked. "Oh, wow! Hey there little guy," Andy said as he bent down and touched to his wife's belly. Sharon put one hand over Andy's and the other on his head, stroking his hair.

"Kiss me again," she whispered. Andy stood up, and slowly leaned down to kiss the mother of his unborn son.
