Hey all! First let me say that I am so delighted that I got so many reviews. Second, I am not Canadian, and I don't live there. Sorry. I've been there though and I really like it its so pretty! Third, I have to apologize in advance to say sorry if this chapter is a little rushed. I'm in the middle of house training a puppy who has to be watched at all times. I don't want to dump the load on my sister. So I am going to have to write this very quickly. Sorry. Okay. Now that that's out of the way, on with the story.

"Emma, maybe you should come and rest for a little while, and get something to eat," Snake said.

Emma shook her head.

"The doctors say that she could wake up any day, and I want to be here when she does. She's such a fighter. She gets stronger and stronger every day, I know she has got to wake up soon," Emma said happily.

It had been three days since the baby was in the coma. Emma had stayed by her side all throughout the experience. She only slept when she had too, as she did with eating. She hated to not be with her little girl. She was always holding her hand or somehow touching her, trying to transfer more strength to the girl from her own body.

Spike and Snake knew that is was no use to fight Emma to come eat, so they left for the cafeteria. They would bring her back a sandwich or something like that, as usual.

Emma reached her hand through the hole and rubbed the tiny baby's stomach. She hummed a lullaby.

"Wake up soon," she whispered. "I can't wait to hold you and to see your little eyes."

Emma stood there for an hour, not even realizing how long she had been standing. Spike came back to the room and finally persuaded her to come and sit for a while. She hadn't slept in so long, Spike knew Emma would just crash once enough time had gone by.

Spike gently lead Emma to her room. She sat her down on the bed where she fell asleep before her head even hit the pillow. She slept for several hours, even though she had wanted to only sleep for about fifteen minutes. She didn't dream.

Later, Emma woke up to the sound of happy voices. She couldn't separate one form another, but she knew one belonged to her mom and the other to a doctor.

She sat up quickly.

"What's going on?" Emma asked.
"Oh Emma come and see!" Spike said. Emma stood up gingerly, still weak, tired, and sore. Even so, she rushed to the intensive care unit where her baby was lying. She gasped where she saw what was going on.

Her daughter was awake, her little eyes open. Emma rushed to her side and held her hand. She looked at her for a while, drinking in the happiness that came with having her awake.

"Hi," she finally whispered. "I'm Emma. I'm your mommy. I'm so glad you're finally awake. I love you so much. I promise here and now that I will never let you be sick like that again. You will always be safe as long as you have me, I promise to protect you."

Emma looked up at her mom and the doctor. She broke into a wide grin.

"She has my eyes," Emma said.

OKAY! That's all for now. I'm so sorry that it is such a short chapter but the dog can't be left alone. I promise I will update later today. Love you all! Please review.
