Tori sat by Blake's side for the third straight day in a row. The guys had found a hotel and were in and out most of the time. Hunter was in frequently, but was handling all of the legal stuff. The doctor's believed that he was his brother, but they had no concrete proof and couldn't release him when he woke up without it.

"We need to know for sure that he is who you all say he is," a doctor told Hunter. "A birth certificate, an adoption certificate...anything like that."

Hunter sighed. "He had all that stuff with him when the plane went down."

The doctor looked into the room where Blake and Tori were. "Did I hear correctly that Ms. Hanson is pregnant?" Hunter nodded his head. "And it's Blake's?" Again Hunter nodded. A small smile came over her face. "I think I may have a way to prove your brother's identity when he wakes up."

Hunter grinned and they entered the room.

"I know you can't answer me Blake, but that doesn't mean you can't hear me," Tori said to Blake. He looked so peaceful...like he was asleep after a long day at the track.

"Ms. Hanson?" Tori turned her head to the doctor. "How far along are you in your pregnancy?"

Tori looked at her questioningly. "Thirteen weeks," she said turning her head back to Blake. "Have you thought of how we're going to handle this when he wakes up? I want him home with us..."

The doctor sat down with her and checked Blake's vitals. "Actually we have." Tori smiled. "But we need you for it."

"Why?"

"Well, when you reach fifteen weeks we can perform a procedure called an amniocentesis. Take some of the fluid in your uterus and compare it to Blake. If they match then there's nothing to dispute that fact that this is in fact Blake."

Tori grew nervous for a moment. Her hand drifted down to her belly. "Will it hurt my baby?" she asked.

"There have been some complications reported with the procedure, but I can assure you that I will make sure nothing happens to you or the baby...it's the best thing for Blake."

Tori looked over to Blake and gave him a small smile. "He doesn't even know yet."

"He will when he wakes up," the doctor said. At that Tori's face brightened with the optimism of the doctor.

"Alright."

(((())))

Blake stood with his parents. In the passing days he had begun to notice a change in Tori. His parents were being very secretive about how Blake's identity was going to be revealed. 'My own blood... there's no one...' he thought as he looked down at himself.

Tori was once again by his side. It was in this way that he found her most of the time. All he wanted to do was get down there, hold her in his arms, and apologize to her for everything that happened.

Blake saw the doctor enter and saw Tori stand. It was in that moment that he realized what all the cryptic talk between his parents had been about. He looked closely at Tori. Her shirt was tighter on her and he noticed a very small roundness to her abdomen.

"Oh...my...god," he stammered. He turned to his parents with a shocked look on his face. They only smiled and watched their son look down upon his child and the woman he loved.

Blake didn't move from his spot for nearly two weeks straight. He would watch as Hunter, Shane, Dustin, and Cam would filter in and out...but Tori never left. He saw Hunter come in and take her spot. Tori leaned down and kissed Blake's cheek.

'I love you.'

Blake was in awe...he heard her. Something was happening to him...

(((())))

"It's okay Tor," Shane whispered to her as the doctor finished the procedure. A large needle had been inserted into her abdomen and was now filled with the precious fluid that would help bring Blake home with them. Tori was put in the same room as Blake as she recovered for the rest of the day.

Blake's condition had improved seemingly overnight. This gave everyone great hope and they refused to leave him or Tori.

The guys were all in the room well into the night. Hunter and Dustin had fallen asleep and Shane and Cam were on their way into slumber as well.

Tori placed her hand on her baby and looked over at Blake. When she was sure the others were all asleep she carefully removed herself from the bed and sat on Blake's. She ran her fingers along his face and held his hand with her other one.

"When you wake up, I have something to tell you," she said as tears began to gather in her eyes. "I have a few things to tell you...like how much I miss you...and how much I love you...and how sorry I am that I left you." At the last words her eyes spilled over.

(((())))

Blake looked down at himself. He heard everything Tori said. "Oh Tor...I'm sorry too," he said. He reached out to her and felt tears welling up in his eyes. His parents stood nearby and smiled at him.

"Blake...it's time," his father said.

Blake then found himself encased in a blue light. The fog around him turned to black and his parents faded out into the darkness. Slowly he began to hear something... a soft beeping noise. Then he heard faint snoring, and finally he heard her...

"I'm so sorry Blake," Tori whispered.

"Tori..."

Tori's eyes flew open and her tears paused. She thought she was hearing things. For a moment she thought she heard Blake.

"Blake? Blake," she pleaded. She looked at him and his eyes slowly opened. Tori smiled then as fresh tears of joy came to her eyes. "Blake," she said softly.

Blake adjusted his eyes to the light and found himself gazing upon the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. "Tori," he breathed. Tori was at a loss for words for the first time in her life. Blake was still groggy, but managed to get out the words he had wanted to say for so long. "I'm sorry."

Tori smiled and caressed his face. "Oh Blake...I love you." She leaned down and gave him a small kiss on his cheek.

Blake reached his hand slowly up and touched her face. Tori couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and openly began to sob in joy. Blake's hand slowly traveled down her face and neck to rest on her abdomen.

"I love you," Blake said as he closed his eyes smiling. Tori smiled
and felt the Most wonderful she had ever experienced... her baby moved.

Tori caressed his face and Hunter was awoken by her cry. He walked over to her. "Tor? What are you doing out of bed?" he asked.

Tori almost forgot that the others were in the room with her. "Hunter... he's awake," she croaked. Hunter's eyes brimmed with tears as he looked at his little brother. Blake's eyes slowly opened and he gave Hunter a small smile.

"Bro," Blake said. Hunter let tears of Joy loose and grabbed his hand. Tori wiped her eyes and saw that the others were beginning to wake as well.

"Hunter?" Shane asked as he rubbed his eyes.

Hunter just grinned and motioned them over. "He's up."

(((())))

"I thought I lost you," Blake whispered to Tori. He was moved into the recovery ward where he was given a private room. The results of Tori's amnio came through and as soon as he was well enough he would be going home with his family.

The doctors were all amazed that he had recovered from his coma so quickly, but they were thrilled to see him improving.

Tori was sitting on his bed with him, gently running her hand through his hair. His hand was on her stomach and he couldn't stop smiling. "I should never have left," she said.

"No Tor... you were right... about everything. I forgot who I was and it cost me you...both of you."

Tori gave him a weak smile. "I didn't find out until after I came home. When we got the call from Roger about you..." she trailed off as tears came over her again.

Blake held her close and kissed her forehead. "I'm here now, and I promise that I won't ever leave you... ever."

Tori looked into his eyes and kissed him gently on the lips. The passion behind it was there and they both savored the moment. Blake knew he meant what he said.

"I'm serious Tor. I don't want to leave you...ever." Tori looked into his deep brown eyes and felt her heart race. "Will you have me forever?"

Tori gave him a teary smile and nodded her head. "Forever," she said as they kissed again.
