A/N: Wow! I got more reviews than I expected. Now how come most of you
don't review when it's just my normal story without any questions? ::frowns
sadly:: Anyway majority of you wanted Sadie to live. I'll see where I take
it from here and somehow make this story longer than it was really supposed
to. On my personal account I think Sadie should've died because then it
would be more true to life. And about that electric shock thing I didn't do
any research on it (as usual) so I'm sorry if I got all the information
screwed up. I was just trying to show and state that they really tried to
revive her, okay?
Special Thanks: There are so many to mention so I'll just say, THANKS! But I know that'll never make up for what you've guys done.
~*~*~*~
The nurse ran out of the room. "Doctor! Her heart beat picked up!"
The two doctors looked at each other and ran into the room. They studied the teenager and stabilized her.
"Now take her to the ICU but don't remove the transfusion." One of the doctors instructed pointing to Crystal.
"Yes, sir." She walked outside to call for help.
~*~*~*~
"Miss Granger I am pleased to inform you that we were able to stabilize your daughter but she is still in critical condition we will need to watch her from here on."
"When can I see her?" Hermione asked.
"We took her and the blood donor to the ICU we don't know when we'll be able to put her in a normal room yet although the blood donation should be done in about thirty minutes."
"Thank you." Draco looked at him as Hermione turned to her fiancé.
"She's okay." Hermione smiled.
Sadie's friends began to cry again but this time it was because they knew that their friend was going to be okay.
~*~*~*~
Crystal began to stir. At first her vision was blurred but the bright light took care of making her fully awake. She looked at her surroundings and realized that she was still in the hospital.
"Sadie," She whispered when she spotted her friend lying on the bed next to her. She looked at her left arm and saw that the tube was still stuck to her linking her to Sadie. She stood up from her bed and looked at her friend. "Everything's going to be okay." She smiled at her friend. She held onto her head as the room began to spin.
"Miss Smart." The nurse came in. "You need to lie down. Your immune system will be down for awhile so you will need to relax for a moment."
"Is she going to be okay?"
"I don't know." The nurse looked at the girl. "I will be back in ten minutes with a wheel chair so that we can take you back outside. We took quite a lot of blood from you."
"Okay." Crystal nodded her head and shut her eyes.
~*~*~*~ Hermione spotted the nurse that brought Crystal in walking towards the ICU with a wheel chair.
"Nurse." Hermione called.
"Yes ma'am?"
"How is Crystal, the donor?" Hermione looked at her.
"Oh, she's fine. I am on my way to pick her up now."
"Okay."
The nurse smiled at Hermione and walked into the ICU. A minute later she walked out with Crystal.
"Hi, sweetie." Hermione looked at the teenager. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine." She smiled at Hermione weakly. "Is Sadie going to be okay now that I've given her blood?"
"I don't know," Hermione looked at the teenager. "But they're watching her now."
"Okay."
"You should really go home you look exhausted."
"That's an understatement to what I'm feeling." She smiled weakly. "But it's nothing compared to what Sadie's going through right now." A tear trickled down her eye. She composed herself and took a deep breath, "I'll see you tomorrow. That is if I can come?"
"Of course you can." Hermione kissed her on the forehead.
~*~*~*~
"Hermione do you want something to drink?" Draco looked at her.
"I'm fine." She whispered leaning on the wall beside the door of the ICU. Draco took a seat on the floor beside her.
"Herm, she's a strong girl she'll make it through this." He comforted. He was actually trying to convince himself more than Hermione.
"I know." Hermione looked at me weakly. "But will God let me keep her?"
"He will." Draco nodded. "He knows how much she means to you and how much you mean to her."
~*~*~*~
"Miss Granger, Mister Malfoy." The doctor looked at the couple. "Your daughter will be transferred to a private room now and you will be able to see her but you might be surprised because she's got a lot of machines helping with her breathing monitoring her heart beat and much more."
"Are you telling me that she's going to have wires all over the place?" Hermione looked at him.
"Yes." He nodded we'll be watching her from here.
"Thank you."
~*~*~*~
Hermione and Draco walked to Sadie's room. Hermione rushed over to her daughter's side and stroked her hair.
"Look at her." Hermione cried. "She looks so peaceful."
"I know." Draco smiled at held on to his daughter's hand. Something inside of him told him that Sadie was going to be okay.
~*~*~*~
The next morning Draco and Hermione were asked to leave the room and have breakfast for a moment.
"I will just fix the vaccines for your daughter's pain." The nurse smiled at them.
"Okay." They nodded and walked down to the cafeteria where they met up with Crystal, Jamie and Sadie's grandparents.
"Things went pretty smooth last night." Draco nodded. "Although there was one problem with the one of the machines but they were able to fix that."
"Good." Narcissa took a sip from her coffee.
"Calling Doctor Perez." The speaker began to page. "Room 567 is in need of consultation. Doctor Perez."
"That thing is loud." Anne wrinkled her nose.
"It goes around the entire hospital." Hermione nodded. "Let's go up maybe they're done with Sadie's vaccination."
The ten stood up and headed to the elevator. As they got into the elevator the red light began to flash.
"Code red Doctor Samuel and Michael room 963. Code red, code red." The voice boomed.
"Oh my god that's Sadie's room." Hermione looked at Draco worriedly.
The group began to rampage down the hall to Sadie's room.
"Doctor what happened?"
"Sadie's body reacted meaning she woke up but moments later slipped into a coma." The doctor looked at them. "We don't know if there will be any damages but more than likely she'll probably be paralyzed or we don't know until she wakes up."
"Excuse me?" Draco looked at the doctor. "How long will this take?"
"Who knows?" He shrugged. "It could go from 2 days, to 2 weeks, to 2 years and maybe even twenty years."
Hermione's eyes began to water.
"You have to excuse me I have another patient to go to." He smiled at them weakly.
"Can we go see her?" Crystal spoke up looked at everyone.
"Sure." Hermione smiled at them.
~*~*~*~
Crystal and Jamie walked into the room.
"Oh god." Tears trickled down Jamie's cheek as she got closer to her.
"Jamie." Crystal looked up helplessly at her friend.
"My mom says that when you talk to people in a coma they wake up faster. We need to let her know we're here."
"Sadie." Crystal looked down at her best friend. "I know you can hear me. Oh god, you've got to wake up already. I mean school is going to start in a month and we haven't looked for clothes yet. And you're parent's are getting married."
"Sadie, this is Jamie." The girl looked down at her. "I promise you that if you wake up I will make sure to get like Britney Spears to come to your next birthday party."
The two girls stood there quietly not knowing what else to say to their friend. The only sound in the room was the sound of the machines.
"Crystal? Jamie?" A voice came from the door.
The two girls turned to see their friends standing there.
"Can we come in?" Megz whispered.
"Sure. I'm sure Sadie would want all of us here." Jamie smiled at them.
The three girls walked into the room.
"What are all these machines for?" Laura's eyes began to water.
"They're helping her breathe, she stops from time to time." Crystal whispered looking at Sadie.
"She looks like she's asleep." Isabel whispered leaning her head on Laura's shoulder.
"I wish she could talk to us it's not the same without Sadie." Megz sighed sadly.
"You guys don't know what's wrong with her, huh?" Jamie asked.
"Aunt Hermione just told us to go in." Megz replied.
"You guys." Crystal took a deep breath. "She is a coma."
"You're kidding right?" Isabel looked at them. "It's not funny."
"Would I joke with a matter like this?" Crystal asked seriously.
"I can't believe that she's lying here." Laura whispered and put her hand over Sadie's. "Gosh, she's cold."
"We better go and let her relatives see her first." Jamie looked at them.
The five girls walked out of the room.
~*~*~*~
"Hermione, Ginny and the rest are on their way here from the airport." Draco looked at her.
"Okay."
"Ryan's coming. It was pretty hard to break the news to him. Mother and Father went back to the mansion along with your mother. Ashley should be here in like ten minutes."
"Okay." Hermione looked down at Sadie.
"I'll go get you some coffee from the machine." Draco said not knowing how else to comfort her. "That was you can also talk to her alone." Hermione nodded her head and held onto her daughter's hand. The door creaked when Draco opened the door.
"Draco." Hermione whispered.
"Yeah?" He looked at her.
"Thank you." She smiled at him weakly. Draco turned back to the door and left the room.
~*~*~*~
Hermione glanced at the body of her daughter. "Sadie?" She whispered. "I know that you can hear me. Please wake up baby. I need you in my life. You're the one I live for if you go I'll go. You promised me you would never leave me."
Hermione cried. "Sadie, baby. Don't leave me, okay? Your father and I are getting married and I already know who my maid of honor is. I love you baby."
~*~*~*~
As Draco stepped out of the room there were three bodies walking towards him.
"Is she okay?" Was the first thing Ryan asked when he saw Draco.
"I don't know." He shook his head. "A few hours ago she slipped into a coma."
"Oh my." Ginny covered her mouth. "How is Hermione taking it?"
"Not too good I'm afraid." Draco whispered sadly. "I'm sure it helps that you're here though."
"Where are you headed?" Harry looked at his friend.
"I was about to go get some coffee in the machine down stairs." He yawned. "I haven't exactly slept properly in the longest time, excuse me for awhile."
"I'll go with you." Harry dropped Ginny's hand.
~*~*~*~
The doctor came running down the hall with a pile of papers as Ginny and Ryan were about to enter the room.
"Miss Granger, I would like to talk to you."
Hermione looked up to find Ryan, Ginny and the doctor standing right in front of her.
"Why?" Hermione wiped her tears and stood up.
"Maybe we could talk some place else." Eyeing Ginny and Ryan.
"No." She shook her head. "We're fine right here."
The doctor entered the room and handed her the papers. "It doesn't look like she's going to make it. We need you to sign this in case we need to pull the plug."
"No." Hermione shook her head. "My daughter is going to be okay."
"Herm?" Draco and Harry walked into the room.
"They want us to sign the documents to pull the plug." Hermione cried and Draco walked over to her.
"Please don't blow this out of proportion." The doctor looked at her calmly. "Your daughter is already under a respirator and her heart is being pumped so basically she's only living by machine."
"She's not brain dead." Hermione looked at him.
"NO."
"Then she's still technically alive."
"Yes, that is correct but the moment any of her organs give in any at all the brain goes." The doctor handed her the papers. "And none of her vital signs have picked up if anything they're weakening very slowly."
"Is my daughter dying a painful death?" Hermione looked at him.
"Far more painful than cancer." He nodded her head. "She is more pain than you can imagine. So I would advice you to sign the papers. And if there is improvement before tomorrow morning we postpone the pulling of the plug and if her vital stats go down we pull sooner if nothing at all happens we pull the plug at six tomorrow."
"Morning?" Draco finally spoke up.
"Yes. My advice to you is to get all your relatives down here to say goodbye to her. I'm sorry, I didn't know any other way to put it." He looked at them sadly. "I'll send the nurse by to pick up the papers within the next hour."
"Thank you doctor." Draco held onto Hermione.
Hermione sat back down and looked at Sadie. "Draco, is she really in that much pain?"
"If that is what the doctors says."
"Call everyone down here." Hermione looked at him. "Especially Crystal but don't tell her why I think I'll need to do that."
"Okay." He looked at her and kissed her forehead. If she couldn't be strong now he needed to be strong for her and he knew that.
~*~*~*~
"Ryan." Hermione looked at the boy. "Maybe you should talk to her first or would you like to Gin?"
"It's okay." Ginny smiled. "I wouldn't have much to say." She walked over to Sadie and kissed her forehead. "Be strong Sadie there are so many people in the world who need you."
Hermione, Harry and Ginny left the room.
Ryan stood there alone looking at the girl before him.
"Sadie." He sat down on the side of her bed. "Why? When you said goodbye I didn't think it would be permanent." A tear trickled down his cheek. "You have to wake up Sadie. You have your whole life ahead of you. They need you here, I need you here." He traced his finger across her cheek memorizing her every feature. "You are so beautiful." He leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. "I love you Sadie, please don't leave us not now."
~*~*~*~
Ryan was in there for the longest time. Finally he stepped out. His eyes were red.
"Ryan." Ginny put out her arms for her nephew. Everyone was there.
"Lucius, Narcissa?" Hermione glanced at Draco's parents. "You can go in now."
The two slowly walked into the room.
"Lucius our only grandchild." Narcissa cried as she looked at Sadie. "Why?"
"Shh. . ." He comforted. "We're to say goodbye, now." For the first time in a little over forty years a tear trickled down Lucius' cheek. At that moment he remembered what it was like to lose someone.
"I love you." Narcissa kissed Sadie on the cheek.
"The last time I cried was when my mother died." He stroked her cheek. "I know you're strong. Use your strength now."
~*~*~*~
Anne went in after Lucius and Narcissa. Then Sadie's friends excluding Crystal, then followed by Ashley. Before Crystal could go in the doctor came by.
"Any improvement?" Draco asked.
"I'm sorry." He shook his head.
Crystal glanced up at him sadly and walked into the room.
"Sadie," She looked at her friend. "I know you can hear me. We've been through a lot, huh? Don't give up now. We've been through too much for you to let go so soon. I know you are far stronger than anyone else in this place. I need you Sadie. Who's going to tell me that I look like an idiot around boys? Who's going to drag me to all the exotic places we go to with your mom and aunt? Who's going to shut me up when I talk too much? Sadie, you play a crucial part in my life. You're my sister Sadie in more ways than one. Yes, I know that we aren't related biologically but we're closer than that. And now we even have the same blood running in our veins. Don't give up on us Sadie, I know you won't be strong. Don't let go. I love you girl."
~*~*~*~
Draco and Hermione walked into the room together. They looked, as their daughter lay helpless on the bed.
"Sadie, mommy's here. I will never leave you no matter what. Please wakeup baby. I need you." Hermione cried. "Draco." She looked at him. "I can't do this. It hurts so much. I need to step out."
"I understand." He watched as Hermione walked out of the room. He turned back to his daughter. "Your mother is a strong woman you know? You're just like her. I know that everyone's told you to hang in there my speech will be different." He ran his fingers through her hair as tears fell from his eyes. "I thank God that he gave you to me for the last few days. I know that somehow we were always close even if I didn't know you existed. And in those few days that I got to know you, you took away my heart. I love you more than you will ever know and I always will. Sometimes it's okay to let go Sadie. And this is one of those times. I know that you're in pain and I know you're hurting and as much as it is breaking my heart I want you to let go. Don't hang onto the pain let go and if that means I have to sacrifice my happiness so be it. You will always be my little girl Sadie whether it was two days ago or fifteen years ago you will always be my little girl. And you will forever be in my heart. I love you Sadie." Draco buried his face on her bed clutching her hand tightly. "Keep my heart and let go."
Draco lay there for along time. What he didn't know was that the moment he said those words as he clutched Sadie's hand something magical happened.
Draco began to cry harder. "Let go." He repeated over and over and over. He knew that it was the only way that Sadie would be able to go in peace. He knew that someone had to tell her that it was okay to let go. Sadie's hand moved. Draco looked up before him he saw Sadie looking at him weakly.
"Daddy?" She whispered.

She stood up from her bed and looked at her friend. "Everything's going to be okay." She smiled at her friend. She held onto her head as the room began to spin.

The two slowly walked into the room.
"Lucius our only grandchild." Narcissa cried as she looked at Sadie. "Why?"
"Shh. . ." He comforted. "We're to say goodbye, now." For the first time in a little over forty years a tear trickled down Lucius' cheek. At that moment he remembered what it was like to lose someone.
"I love you." Narcissa kissed Sadie on the cheek.
"The last time I cried was when my mother died." He stroked her cheek. "I know you're strong. Use your strength now."
~*~*~*~
Anne went in after Lucius and Narcissa. Then Sadie's friends excluding Crystal, then followed by Ashley. Before Crystal could go in the doctor came by.
"Any improvement?" Draco asked.
"I'm sorry." He shook his head.
Crystal glanced up at him sadly and walked into the room.
"Sadie," She looked at her friend. "I know you can hear me. We've been through a lot, huh? Don't give up now. We've been through too much for you to let go so soon. I know you are far stronger than anyone else in this place. I need you Sadie. Who's going to tell me that I look like an idiot around boys? Who's going to drag me to all the exotic places we go to with your mom and aunt? Who's going to shut me up when I talk too much? Sadie, you play a crucial part in my life. You're my sister Sadie in more ways than one. Yes, I know that we aren't related biologically but we're closer than that. And now we even have the same blood running in our veins. Don't give up on us Sadie, I know you won't be strong. Don't let go. I love you girl."

Draco and Hermione walked into the room together. They looked, as their daughter lay helpless on the bed.
"Sadie, mommy's here. I will never leave you no matter what. Please wakeup baby. I need you." Hermione cried. "Draco." She looked at him. "I can't do this. It hurts so much. I need to step out."
"I understand." He watched as Hermione walked out of the room. He turned back to his daughter. "Your mother is a strong woman you know? You're just like her. I know that everyone's told you to hang in there my speech will be different." He ran his fingers through her hair as tears fell from his eyes. "I thank God that he gave you to me for the last few days. I know that somehow we were always close even if I didn't know you existed. And in those few days that I got to know you, you took away my heart. I love you more than you will ever know and I always will. Sometimes it's okay to let go Sadie. And this is one of those times. I know that you're in pain and I know you're hurting and as much as it is breaking my heart I want you to let go. Don't hang onto the pain let go and if that means I have to sacrifice my happiness so be it. You will always be my little girl Sadie whether it was two days ago or fifteen years ago you will always be my little girl. And you will forever be in my heart. I love you Sadie." Draco buried his face on her bed clutching her hand tightly. "Keep my heart and let go."
Draco lay there for along time. What he didn't know was that the moment he said those words as he clutched Sadie's hand something magical happened.
Draco began to cry harder. "Let go." He repeated over and over and over. He knew that it was the only way that Sadie would be able to go in peace. He knew that someone had to tell her that it was okay to let go. Sadie's hand moved. Draco looked up before him he saw Sadie looking at him weakly.
"Daddy?" She whispered.
