Author`s Note: Ok,I was gunna write this last night,but my friend made me go see a play at the high school and I didn`t get home til late,so I`m gunna try to get this out before I hafta go to work! Thanks again for all of your wonderful reviews and keep them coming! Enjoy!

He walked into her room and looked at the shrunken body that was his Marron. She looked so tiny underneath all of the tubes and wires. He couldn`t help but be happy that the slime who did this to her paid for what he had done.

He walked over next to her bed and sat down. There were monitors all above her bed behind her. He knew that one was her heart rate monitor and another was her pulse,but he wasn`t sure what the other two were for.

He took her hand. It was so cold. He grasped it firmly,wanting to never let her go.

He looked at her. Was she in a coma or was she just sleeping? Was she still out from the surgeries? God,he hoped she wasn`t in a coma. That would be bad.

A doctor walked into the room and looked somewhat surprised to see Trunks there,holding her hand.

"Oh,I`m sorry,I thought everyone had left for Marron here." The doctor smiled.

"Yeah..I just wanted to spend some time with her..." Trunks looked down at her. "Is..is she just sleeping or is she in a coma?" He blurted out unintentionally.

"She`s just still out from the surgery. She probably won`t wake up for at least a day. Her body is completely exhausted."

"Oh..."

"Well,just don`t stay too long. Another doctor will be in to check on her in about another hour,so try to be out by then." He put Marron`s file in the folder and walked out the door.

Trunks watched the man leave and waited to hear the door click closed before he went and looked at her file. Maybe it would tell him more about what had happened or what exactly was wrong.

He opened it up. Not much information was given. It said that she was in a car crash with a teenage boy.

Trunks couldn`t help but feel that he knew who the boy was. And if was who he thought it was,he was glad that the guy was killed. Thats what the slimeball deserves.

He looked at the file some more. Nothing else useful to him was on the first page. He turned to the next page.

Injuries and trauma. Yep,thats what he was looking for. He read on to find that she had a couple broken ribs and one of her lungs was on the verge of collapsing. She also had a twisted wrist. It stated that she had several bumps and bruises as well. Duh.

Trunks looked at her. His poor Marron had so many cuts on her face alone.

He stood up and walked over to her bed. He laid down next to her. It didn`t matter if he got in trouble. He wrapped his arms around her protectively.

He closed his eyes. This was almost heaven,if only his angel wasn`t in pain and in severe trauma.

He felt her sigh under his arms. A small hand took his.

He almost didn`t notice until it squeezed his hand. His eyes shot open. He looked at her to find two crystal blue eyes gazing at him sleepily.

She smiled. He smiled back.

"Hey love."She winced as she turned over to face him. "Miss me?"

He kissed her."More than you would ever know. How are you feeling?" He brushed some hair out of her eyes. She looked so pained. Seeing her like this hurt his heart.

"Tired. And numb. I think I`m still sorta out of it from...whatever it was they gave me." Her eyes were half closed. She looked so completely exhausted.

"Anything I can do to help?" He offered. Then it hit him. He should tell her now. So that there would never be any doubt in her mind as to how deeply he felt for her. But could he?

"Nah..I think I`m gunna go back to sleep though. I`m so very tired." She closed her eyes,but didn`t let go of his hand.

"Hey Marron?"

"Yeah?"

"I ...uh.." He stuttered. "..Nevermind."

"Oh...m`k"

He cursed himself. Why couldn`t he just tell her? Why did he hafta chicken out everytime he tried to tell her how he felt?

"Hey Trunks?" She interrupted his thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"I think I`m falling in love with you."
