Okay, I'm trying to compensate you guys for the cliffhangers of the last two chapters. Also, I must add you did a wonderful job with your feedbacks. Thank you for the lovely reviews. Please do the same after reading this chapter!

I promise that Chapter 7 will be VERY good, a real treat I should say.

Chapter 6

The news released a shock in me; I had to take a seat immediately if I didn't want to faint at the site. Friedrich and Kurt grabbed my hand in support and guided me to the car. Excitement came over me and I wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Without much ceremony I rushed to the intensive care unit and entered Georg's room. While lying with his eyes closed I heard him murmur lowly my name.

"Maria, Maria.... Where are you? Children... children.... wait..... " It was all we could make out from the sounds he gave out. I took the seat at his bedside and held his hand tightly in mine while gently squeezing it with my fingers. Visibly he reacted to my touches by holding my hand even tighter in his while his body started shaking slightly.

"Georg, here I am... here I am, darling." Tears started rolling down on my cheeks.

I turned my head toward Dr. Swanson.

"Doctor, doctor... this is....." I couldn't finish my sentence.

"This is a very good sign... it's only a matter of time until he wakes up. His body is reacting to the external impulses." The Doctor answered.

My attention returned to Georg trying to send him encouraging energies. Slightly his eyelashes started moving in attempt to open his eyes. Everyone in the room witnessed it in complete silence. I was left breathless when his eyes slowly opened exposing them to the outside world. I gasped in suprise and held his hand even tighter. His tired eyes made a little journey in the room searching for something, when finally found their rest on me. My tears became even stronger as I looked into his eyes. I was speechless and so were all the others in the room. The soft movements of his lips indicated that he was going to say something.

"Maria.... Here you are, I have found you... " His voice sounded faint and a bit confused. "Yes, darling. Here I am.... Here I am... " I said while reaching up with one hand to softly stroke his face. My happiness was beyond any words; silently I thanked God for sending him back to us. His eyes slowly moved upwards and landed on his two sons.

"Hello father" they chorused.

"It's nice to see both of you, where are the others?" He said, but his voice still sounded faint.

"They are all at home darling.... But will come to visit you soon." I said and softly kissed him on the cheek. "Maria, you are so beautiful." His comment brought more tears to my eyes especially when his hand slowly moved upward to touch my face.

"Mr. Von Trapp, I'm Dr. Swanson.... Do you remember what happened to you?" He moved his head into the direction where the doctor's voice came from.

"Car, accident.... Crash..... blood" Georg slowly recalled.

"Very well.....Mr. Von Trapp, you should rest now.... Your family will visit you tomorrow." Dr. Swanson indicated that it was time we leave while telling me that he wanted to have a word with me outside.

"Sweet dreams Georg." I told him while holding his hand in mine and placing one more kiss on his cheek.

I couldn't believe what I had just experienced. My husband woke up from the coma. I asked my sons to call home and share the wonderful news with everyone while I had my discussion with Dr. Swanson.

"Mrs. Von Trapp... it's a miracle what we have just seen in there. God and his angels must have watched over him from up there." I nodded in agreement and smiled still not being able to speak.

"What we are going to do, is to run various tests on him. The fractures have most probably healed while lying in coma, but he will receive a full check-up in the following days. If everything goes well he can be transferred to the rehabilitation unit soon." The doctor's words sounded optimistic.

"Doctor, is there a chapel here in the hospital?" I asked in an inquiry where I could praise the Lord for Georg's recovery.

"Yes, Madame, there is one on the second floor at the end of the hallway." He nodded in agreement.
