It was as if all of their prayers were answered, her heart had began to
beat again, Monica turned and smiled at both Sonny and Jason who looked
like they had been holding their breaths the whole time.
"We've got a rhythm. Sonny, Jason, can I please speak to you outside?"
Opening up the door for Monica, Jason and Sonny walked out the door behind her standing in the hallway of the hospital.
"What is it, Monica?"
"There's no easy way to say this but the next 24 hours are going to be critical, she needs to wake up and the sooner the better."
"What if she doesn't wake up?"
Taking a deep breath Monica looked over to Jason who was still silent.
"Then her chances of coming out of the coma deteriorate."
Finally speaking Jason stared at Monica, "So you're saying that she may never wake up?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
She could tell all this news was so hard for both Jason and Sonny to grasp. She knew that both of them were somehow blaming themselves for what happened to Stacy but neither was at fault.
"You can both go in to see her, I'll come by to check on her soon."
"Thank you Monica."
Walking away from the two she felt sorry for her son and for Sonny, both men obviously cared for this women deeply, she slightly said a pray hoping that Stacy would wake up soon.
Jason looked over at Sonny, both men unable to really comprehend what was happening. Finally breaking the silence between the two Sonny reached out to Jason and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"She's going to be okay, she's a fighter, she'll come back Jason."
"I don't know what I'll do if I lose her Sonny."
"Hey don't talk like that, we're not going to lose her, she's going to pull threw this I know she is. Why don't you go in there and sit with her for awhile, I'm going to take Michael and Carly back to the penthouse and try to get some sleep, I'll come back in a few hours and then you can get some sleep."
"No, I can't leave her side Sonny, what if she wakes up and neither one of us is in there?"
Sonny could feel what Jason was going threw, he knew if the tables were turned and Carly was lying in that hospital bed he wouldn't leave her side for nothing. Nodding at his friend he patted his shoulder and tried to smile at him.
"You call me when she wakes up okay?"
"I will."
Looking into the room one last time Sonny slowly walked away from his daughter's room, and down to the hall finding Carly and Michael sleeping on the chairs, smiling at the photo in front of him he walked over to Carly and tapped her shoulder. Slowly stirring from her sleep, Carly gazed into the eyes of her husband, smiling she finally realized why they were at the hospital at the first place.
"How is she?"
"We almost lost her, her heart stopped beating for about a minute but they got it beating again. Monica says that if she doesn't wake up within 24 hours that she'll probably never wake up."
"Oh God Sonny, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, Jason's sitting with her now I don't think he's going to leave her side."
"I wouldn't blame him, do you think we should stay?"
"No, both you and Michael are tired so we're going to go back to the penthouse and come back tomorrow morning. Jason's going to call us if anything changes."
Looking around the waiting room he noticed that both Bobbie and Mike were now gone, the only people that remained besides Carly and Michael were Tyler and Brian who were asleep.
"You think we should wake them?"
"Nah, let them sleep, besides I'm putting Brian to guard Stacey's door at 7 am so he better get all the sleep he can get."
Back inside Stacy's room, Jason walks back over to her bed, taking her hand and intertwining it with his, gently placing a kiss on it, he pushes some strands of her hair back behind her ear. Looking at her pale face he still knows deep in the back of his mind that they may loose her. But she'd never leave him, he knew that she fought to come back; he could feel her come back to him. God wouldn't be this cruel to bring her into his life and then suddenly take her away, placing his other hand on her protruding stomach, he could feel their child moving around inside, suddenly feeling what had to be a kick. Smiling to himself he leaned his head down, placing his ear on her stomach in the same location as the previous kick, a few seconds later feeling the same kicking.
"Hey little one, go easy on your mom alright? We both love you so much; I only did what I did to your mother to keep both of you safe. You guys are my world, if anything happened to you two, I don't know what I'd do. I love you guys so much. Help your mother fight okay? Your daddy loves you so much."
Sniffling back some tears he finally let his exhaustion take over his body as his eyes slowly closed as he fell asleep. Never seeing Stacy's hand open and close, then reaming still again.
"We've got a rhythm. Sonny, Jason, can I please speak to you outside?"
Opening up the door for Monica, Jason and Sonny walked out the door behind her standing in the hallway of the hospital.
