A/N: A BIG shout out to all those who bothered me and prodded me to continue with this story... I have more then a few ideas of how this will play out, and I kinda pushed this one off to the side to work on other stories. So, I'm sorry about that my chicas (y lone chico)... Anyway, Benoit slightly embarrasses himself in this chapter. Heeh. I own none of the characters, that's aboot it and Rock on!
Chapter 7
---------
Benoit sat down in a chair that was closer to Stephanie's head. He gently pushed away some of her hair that had fallen on to her face.
"Like Sleeping Beauty," he murmured. Then he thought about what he said, and shook his head as his face grew red, "I'm such an idiot. She's more lovely then any Disney character..." he continued stroking her hair.

Edge watched all this unfold from the doorway behind Benoit and Stephanie. He was glad Benoit finally realized that he had feelings for Stephanie. -I should leave them alone,- Edge thought to himself, and then glanced at Kurt. -And get Angle to leave them alone too.-
"Hey Kurt!" Edge called out, taking a final sip from his coffee.
Kurt looked up from the snack machine that had stolen his very last dollar. He kicked the machine, and then looked up, "What!?"
Edge sighed and shook his head at the sight before him. Angle had managed to leave an imprint on the bottom of the machine. "Want to go find some phones? We need to make a couple calls."

Benoit was still sitting next to Stephanie, not knowing what Edge and Kurt were doing, when a nurse walked into the room.
"Mr. McMahon?" she asked quietly and Benoit blinked as he realized she was talking to him.
"No, he went out to get some coffee, I guess. I'm Chris Benoit. A fellow employee, and... uh... friend of Stephanie and the McMahon's."
The nurse nodded her head, "All right. When Mr. McMahon returns, you can tell him that Stephanie is fine. And once she wakes up, she's free to leave in the morning. We just need to perform a few more tests, but nothing major."
Benoit smiled, and the nurse seemed a little taken aback by it, "You mean it? She's all right? Nothing bad!?"
"That's right Mr. Benoit. I'll leave you two alone." She left just as silently as she walked in, and closed the door behind her.
"Did you hear that Stephanie!?! You're all right!! Which is silly of me to think, because of obviously you would know if you were all right or not. But, you haven't waken up yet to tell anyone. And I'm ranting, that's how happy I am!!" He leaned down in excitement to kiss her cheek, and at that moment she turned her head toward him and opened her eyes.
Benoit stopped in shock. "...Chris...? ...Benoit?" Stephanie said, her voice cracking slightly, and her eyes opening widely.
"Hiya, Stephanie." Benoit said sitting back in his chair, a bright, bright red color staining his face.
"Should I even ask why you looked like you were going to... Yeah." She asked him. He stopped blushing long enough to answer, "They told me that you have nothing serious, and ...well, I kinda got caught up in the moment."
"Obviously."
"Yeah."
There was silence for a minute, and then Stephanie cracked a wide grin, "I didn't know Rabid Wolverines could even -show- emotion, let a lone one of excitement!"
Benoit could only grin sheepishly.
