Summary: Trish survives a horrible car crash only to end up in a coma. But while she is in the coma she experiences the greatest love story with the most unlikely man.

Distribution: This is for an Original Character story I am writing offline but thought it would also work for fan fiction. If you want to post it anywhere please ask permission. I am an equal opportunity writer.

A/N: For those of you that review the last chapter after this one is written and posted I thank you. It seems where this story is concerned, I am writing faster then I am posting. It's a change from going one chapter at a time, and instead writing a bunch and then posting them all one by one. Thank you for all the support on this story and all my others, it is greatly appreciated believe me.

He walked into the hospital room and almost jumped back in shock as she saw Shane sleeping in the chair he had been occupying since Trish had her accident. He made his way across to the chair, and gently pushed Shane, rousing him from his apparent deep sleep.

"Hey man, what the hell are you doing here? Did something happen and they called you in?"

Shawn had to admit, seeing Shane sitting there in the chair protecting her scared him a little. Shane hadn't been there in a few days and the last time he was there, he was talking about finding out what the reason behind the accident was. The last thing he needed and wanted to hear right now was that something had happened again to the young woman deep asleep in front of him. He didn't think his heart could take any more shocks.

"No, nothing happened to her Shawn. I am here because I wanted to talk to you about something I found. It might be a lead as to what happened the night of Trish's accident."

Breathing out a sigh of relief, he sat down on the corner of Trish's hospital bed, prepared to hear what it was that Shane had found out.

"So what the hell was it all about?"

"I went to Eric's office. I wanted to take the WWE higher staff off the hit list first you see. I also know that you don't like Eric and I don't particularly like him either and I thought him good for something like this. I really didn't think I would find what I found though."

Shawn threw Shane a quizzical look. "Well what did you find?"

"I found a letter from my father amongst all the other paperwork and if there was anything that wasn't supposed to be found and was, this was it. It could be a link to the reason that Trish is lying here instead of in the ring."

"What did it say?"

"Well it basically said that I am to be demoted to President of Talent Relations and will not be taking over when my father does finally retire. That nice little set up goes to my sister Stephanie, which should make Paul pretty damn happy on a whole. But what struck me as odd was that my father threatened Eric, that if someone found it, he was fired or worse."

"And you think this little piece of paper was what Trish unknowingly got her hands on, and then they took her out?"

"Its business and it is my father we are talking about. It is also Eric we are talking about. I mean how well do we know that man? Is he capable of killing when his job or life is on the line? Then again, aren't we all at that point?"

Shawn listened intently to what Shane was telling him, trying to deal with the fact that just finding something out that she shouldn't have had almost cost Trish her life. It just didn't seem like something that was real. It was more something of a story, one they would have written to act out in the ring in some way.

"You think your father had something to do with this?"

Shane looked down at the floor in that instance and it took him a few seconds to look up and again to look Shawn in the eye.

"In all honestly I wish it weren't true but he was the one that told me to pull her off the life support, even though everything pointed to her coming out of this. Why would he do that to one of the girls unless he was involved?"

"Good point. Alright so where do we go from here man?"

"Well since I noticed that you have the whole hospital on high alert, I won't ask you come with me, but I am going to see Eric, and I am going to get the answers I want."

"And if you don't get them Shane? What then?"

"Then someone pays for it. A McMahon might have put all of this in motion but another McMahon will make sure it ends, I can assure you of that."

"Can you feel it?"

Shawn looked up from the ground and into her eyes as they walked. They had no plan, but they just wanted to be together.

"Can I feel what Trish?"

"The tide is turning; our time together is soon coming to an end."

He looked at her skeptically and stopped her from walking. In the time they had spent together, Shawn had given her something to fight for and something to come back to life for. They knew his time and job had been fulfilled, and he would soon be gone in this way. He had never heard her admit it though.

"Why do you say that?"

"I want to live Shawn, if you are alive and you are with me and love me, and then I want to live. I want to make the most of the time that I do have left, however long it is. I say that because I feel something happening to me, I can't pinpoint it but it is happening."

"You are allowing yourself to go back and come out of the coma aren't you?"

"I guess I am. I have no idea what this feeling is, but it feels like we are in for a world of change and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I don't want to go back to my life if I can't have you in it though. Should I fight to stay here?"

Shawn thought about what she was saying, letting the words sink in. She wanted to know if when she came out of the coma, would he love her like he loved her now. Would he be there when she needed him? Would he give her something in life that he gave her here, in something to live for?

"Fight to go back to your life Trish."

"Is that all you have to say to me now? We might not have any more time together sooner then we think."

"Then let us make the most of it. I know that I haven't said much to you in terms of telling you things you need to hear, but I didn't want to get to close because the minute you go back, everything we shared will be lost and we will have to find it again."

"What are you saying Shawn?"

"What I am saying is what I should have said from day one of this little trip we are on. I love you Trish Stratus, and if I don't tell you in real life that I do, please remember that I am telling you now."

A/N2: If you have read this chapter all the way through, then you can see where I am taking it soon. It will not take place yet for awhile but you will be aware when it does.
