Two weeks had gone by and there had been little change in Catherine's condition.
For the full to weeks Gil had stayed right beside Catherine not leaving he side for more then a minute.
Lindsey had been to the hospital almost everyday with him to wait with him until her mother woke up but one little girl could only have faith for so long before she felt like giving up.
"Uncle Gil?" she called from the chair on the other side of her mother's bed. " I don't think mommy wants to wake up, I think she is scared to come back"
Gil smiled at the girl and went a sat beside her.
"I think your mom is a very strong person and she will comeback to us, se might be scared but she knows we are waiting for her."
"Uncle Gil" she sighed " my mommy told me that you were going to move in to our house so we could all be a family but since the baby went to heaven and mommy might forget does that mean your not coming.?"
Gil smiled and hugged the child'
"Of course not" she kissed her forehead " When your mommy wakes up and after she feels better we are going to be a family, you'll see"
"Can I ask you something" she smiled in his direction
"Of course" he smiled back
"I already have a dad right and he loves me and I love him even if he was really mean to mommy but.. Well, since we are going to be a family I was wondering if I could call you dad instead if uncle Gil, because you are going to ask mommy to marry you right?"
"Of course I am and you can be our flower girl"
Lindsey's eyes lit up as she looked over at her mother
"you here that mom Dad is going to ask you to marry him" she smiled in her mothers direction " when you wake up"
Lindsey and Gil sat with Catherine for another hour before Eddie came to pick her up and take her home.
Gil walked with Lindsey and Ed outside and watched as the drove away.
When he walked back inside he was faced with more shocking news when the doctor came running toward him.
Gil's heart sank.
