OOC: I don't know much about medical terms/procedures and/or hospital terms/procedures, so I'm sorry if some things in here aren't realistic. I'm too lazy to research it, and everyone wants me to get this story up quickly, so sorry for any inaccuracies! Enjoy!

(Previously on Shelby's Return...LoL)
(Dr. Miller) "Mr. Scarbrow, the surgery was successful---But I'm afraid a few moments after the surgery, she went into shock. We're trying to pinpoint the cause---but this dropped her blood pressure about 35 mm/Hg in only a few minutes---Mr. Scarbrow, she's in a coma"
(Scott) "Don't let her die. Please don't let her die"
(Curtis) "They've got the kid. Found him comming into town, still clutching his gun. Looked like a deer caught in the headlights--We'll need an someone to ID him later on--"
(Peter) "Alright...who's going in first?"
(Scott) "I'll go"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Shelby's Room/ICU*
Scott walked slowly into the room, being pushed slightly by doctor Miller. He couldn't help but look on in shock. She was hooked up to so many machines. He sat down slowly in the chair next to Shelby's bedside, glancing back for a brief moment as doctor Miller exited the room, before turning back to Shelby.. She was so pale and fragile looking. Tubes seemed to be comming in and out of her everywhere. Machines beeped and screeched all around her. A cut, sewn up with about a dozen stiches, ran across her forehead. But for all intents and purposes, she still looked beautiful. He carefully brought his hand up to her face, stroking her cheek lightly, fighting back tears. My God, how could he have done this to her? *I'm not going to lose you Shelby* Scott thought to himself, tears streaming down his cheeks. *Not now..not ever*
*The Waiting Room/ICU*
"I have a feeling the boy will be in there for quite a while" doctor Miller said, as he walked back into the waiting area. "I didn't hear exactly what he said, but by the look on his face--well sometimes you just know things" he said with a soft smile. "Doctor..when we speak to her..can she hear us?" Sophie questioned, sitting up straight. "Yes, actually. There are two types of comas. We refer to them as 'heavy' coma's, and 'ligh't coma's. When a person is in a 'heavy' coma, they are completely oblivious to the world around them. The cannot feel, here, smell--nothing. But when a person is in a 'light' coma, they can feel, hear--basically all of the five senses are working. Only the person can not respond in anyway. They can hear someone say something, but they can't reply to it. Shelby, fortunatly, is in a light coma. When you go in there, she can hear everything you say--feel everything you do. She just can't respond. It is also easier for patients to come out of 'light' coma's. It doesn't take as much time. But yes, she can hear every word you say." he replied.
*Shelby's Room/ICU*
He gently took her hand in his. "Shel---its me--- Scott. I know--I know you can't hear me--but I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you. They uh--they said you have a really good chance to come out of this Shel. You just *have* to--be strong--*fight* this Shelby. You have no idea--" Scott began, his eyes filling with tears again. "You have no idea how worried I was about you. When Ezra and Auggie told me--I felt like someone pushed me off a cliff. I was so scared. When I saw Mark pulling you around like that--God I wanted to kill him. They caught him--they caught that bastard--he's gonna *pay* for doing this to you. I promise" Scott said, squeezing her hand. Then he looked down at the floor for a moment, as if he was ashamed. "I dumped Kerri--I couldn't believe I was so stupid--the things she said about you--I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for everything I put you through--I just want you to know--Kerri ment nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. *You're* the one I care about. *You're* the one I want. And no--I don't understand your past right now. But I want to--I want to try. Because--I think what we have--its something special. Something too good to throw away---" he trailed off, looking up at the celing for a moment. "I just want you to know Shelb..that I--I lov--I love you" Scott blurted out. He paused for a moment. "I don't know why I had trouble saying that---you can't even hear me. God, I wish you could hear me. I wish I could just make all your pain go away somehow. Please don't leave me Shelby--I need you---I love you" he sobbed quietly, laying his head on her stomach.
*Shelby's Mind (OOC: These are all Shelby's thoughts. Remember, she can hear everything Scott says, but she can't respond in any way)
"My God...he does still care. He said he loves me...could this be real? He wants to understand...oh God, I can't die. I have to fight. There's still so much to live for. Oh no--he's crying again. Scott never cries--its just not him. I should be comforting him--God why can't I just hug him. Why can't I just tell him I'll be alright. I have to wake up--I have to fight. I *have* to fight"
*Waiting Room/ICU*
"Scott's been in there an awful long time--maybe we should see if he's alrigh--t" Sophie began. Peter shook his head, and motioned her over to the window where he looked in on Scott. Sophie stood up, careful not to wake Daisy, who was curled up, sleeping in the next chair, and peered in the window. Scott sat, his hand clutching Shelby's tightly, his head in her lap, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Peter, we should--". "Soph, he needs him time. Let he be with her--thats what he needs--maybe its even what *she* needs" Peter said quietly.
*Shelby's Room/ICU*
"Shel--you have to fight this. I can't--I can't lose you Shelby. I can't--I won't. I love you--so much" he whispered. Then all of a sudden, one of the moniters started beeping in a way it hadn't before. Scott sat straight up. He didn't know what it meant. Was it good or bad. "Doctor Miller! Doctor Miller!" Scott screamed, looking down at Shelby worridly, as the doctor and a few nurses rushed in.
