One Night Stand

Chapter Ten

Disclaimer: Don't own them, wish I did.

AN: Thank you to countryfreak, crazi river, crazypixie, oOoOo, Candace, emmymik, jorja fox, missyjane, nepeace and Kirby doggett for reviewing chapter 9. Thank you to everyone else who reviews also. I really appreciate it.

Also, I've read that sometimes people remember conversations people had with them once they wake from a coma. I've also read that they sometimes remember how they felt and what they were thinking. I just wanted to say this cause I'm doing Sara's POV.

*~*~*

*I lie in bed and watch the shadows dancing across the walls*

*Nothing to do but think of you and count the tears that fall*

*Oh how I wish it was real*

*I wish I could feel you holding me close*

*The only thing I know for sure is I should've never let you go*

*~*~*

Doctor Williams lead Nick to Sara's room. Nick took the chair next to Sara's bed. He reached out and took her right hand into his.

"Sara. Sara it's Nick" he paused "I'm here for you"

"I have some things I need to tell you. I first need to say that I'm so sorry that you've been dealing with your pregnancy all by yourself. I'm so sorry Sara. I also need you to know that there was nothing going on with Kristy. She wanted a relationship but.well I couldn't get into a relationship with her when I'm still very much hung up on you." Nick took a deep breath before continuing. He somehow knew that Sara could hear him. "I love you Sara. I should have told you sooner, but I was scared too. I tried to call you this summer, but I wasn't able to reach you. I was stupid. I thought that you didn't even care anymore. I was dumb. I should've just talked to you. I hope one day you can forgive me. Please Sara, forgive me"

*~*~*

I look around.

Where am I?

I'm in a white room.

I hear a voice.

I can't understand what the voice is saying.

Who is talking to me?

Where am I?

I listen harder.

Suddenly the voice sounds familiar.

Nick.

What is going on?

Nick is talking to me. Why can't I answer him?

"I was stupid. I thought you didn't even care anymore. I was dumb. I should've just talked to you. I hope one day you can forgive me. Please Sara, forgive me"

"Forgive you for what?" I shout "Nick, forgive you for what? Where the hell am I?"

*~*~*

"Sara you need to wake up. Please baby wake up. You have to see our daughter she's beautiful"

*~*~*

Daughter

I have a daughter

But it's too early

I reach down and feel my abdomen, there is nothing there. It is completely flat. My baby is gone. I want to see my baby.

"Where is my baby?" I yell "I want to see my daughter"

"Please Sara wake up" I hear Nick say

"I am awake Nick, where are you?" I question

*~*~*

"Sara, I named her Grace. Grace Sara. I wanted her named after you"

*~*~*

I need to get to my baby

I need to get to Nick

I need to get back to them

But how do I do that?

I begin walking

I will find a way

*~*~*

*I would walk the world. I'd cross the sea*

*I'd journey beyond the moon*

*I'd try anything. Go anywhere*

*To find my way back to you*

*~*~*

"Nick" a soft voice calls out

Nick looks up to see his parents and Sara's parents standing in the doorway

"Hey"

"Baby" his mother stated and walked over to him and pulled him into a hug

"Did you guys see the baby?"

"Yeah. She's beautiful" Mrs. Sidle stated

"She is, isn't she" Nick replied

"They hadn't put her name card up yet, did you decide on a name?" Nick's father ask

Nick nodded, "I named her Grace Sara"

Sara's mother began crying. She came across the room and pulled Nick into a hug.

A few moments later they pulled apart.

"Well, I'll leave you to spend some time with Sara. I'm gonna go tell her sorority sisters the news and see Catherine. I'm also going to try to get a hold of a police officer so that I can find out what happened this evening" Nick stated.

Nick walked out of the room leaving the parents to talk to Sara.

*~*~*

*I still don't understand the reason*

*I think I was afraid (what can I say)*

*All I can do is face the truth and deal with the mess that I made*

*Now all I want is a chance to take it back, can't go on like this*

*'Cause ever since we said goodbye*

*I have been lost in loneliness*

*~*~*

Nick walked into the waiting room and found all of Sara's sorority sisters still waiting for some sort of news on her.

Catherine saw Nick walk into the room, jumped up and ran over to him.

"How is she? What was it? Is the baby okay?"

"Catherine, calm down" Nick said putting his arms on her shoulders.

He led Catherine back over to the girls, who were piled into a corner of the waiting room.

"Well, Sara's still in a coma. The baby is a little girl. I named her Grace Sara. She's in the Neo natal ICU right now. She's extremely tiny and her lungs aren't fully developed, so they have her intubated. I was just up with Sara talking to her. I've heard that coma patients can actually hear what you are saying to them" Nick stated.

He sat down on the nearest chair, feeling defeated. All his emotions were getting to him.

"Does anyone know how Brynn is doing?" Nick asked

With just that one question, girls burst into tears and Nick didn't need a vocal answer to know, Brynn had died.

"When?" he asked Catherine who had sat down next to him.

"We just found out about twenty minutes ago. After the accident she was brought into the ER and stabilized enough for transport and surgery. She made it through surgery but crashed while she was in ICU." Catherine paused, wiping her tears "Her parents came and told us. We all began crying, but knew we had to stay and wait for news on Sara"

Nick ran his hands through his hair, Brynn dying broke his heart.

"Do we know if the police have found the expedition driver yet?" Nick asked Catherine.

"No, not yet, sorry"

"It's okay"

Nick stood up and began to walk out of the waiting room, he really wanted to get back up to Sara. He gave Allison, Kayla, Hannah, Megan and Jennifer hugs on his way out.

He pulled Allison aside, "Allison, why don't you girls get out of here. If anything changes with Sara, I'll call Catherine on her cell and she can relay the message to y'all."

"Okay, we'll all be back tomorrow during the normal visiting hours of 8 to 8" Allison said with an attempt of humor in her voice.

Nick nodded, "I'll let Sara's parents and my parents know. See you later"

With that Nick headed back over to the elevators and back up to the sixth floor to see Sara.

*~*~*

*I would walk the world, I'd cross the sea*

*I'd journey beyond the moon*

*I'd try anything, go anywhere*

*To find my way back to you*

*Baby I was wrong now that you're gone*

*The only thing left to do*

*Is spend everyday, try every way*

*To find my way back to you*

*~*~*

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I was gonna write more but I really thought that I left it at a good ending point. Please read and review.

The song is Back to You by Faith Hill. It is on her Cry CD. Honestly I found the song while just listening to the CD and I was like 'holy shit this is perfect'.
