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: I spend a lot of time reading on here as well as writing, and someone that I admire did a song fiction not to long ago and it struck a cord with me, and I thought in this story more then any other I have ever attempted to do, a song chapter would work. So if you can bear with me for this chapter, I am going to put a cheesy song in here, and show you how well it works. LOL

As the nurse busied herself around Trish, making sure now that she was awake, that she had everything she needed, Trish wondered how long she had been out. From the way the doctor had talked to her, it seemed to have been for months. Upon awakening and making the hospital aware she was awake, she felt this eerie calm throughout her body and she remembered that she felt like this was the most alive she had ever been.

"Mr. Michaels will be very glad to hear that you have finally come back to us. He has been here everyday with you, sitting right there, fighting along with you."

Trish felt her body suddenly warm up at the thought of Shawn being there in the room with her the entire time. He had been sitting there in that God awful green chair, waiting for her to come back to life and for some reason that made her body warm inside. She couldn't explain it, but she felt like that was the right thing to do.

You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shining' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

The door opened at that moment and the man they both spoke of strode in, just like in a western film, jeans and all, almost shining a light throughout the entire room. She remembered seeing him sooner then a few months ago but she didn't know where the feeling was coming from. Maybe she had forgotten everything that had happened and still hadn't adjusted that she had been out of it for over a month.

"So I see the princess awakens from her slumber." He said coming back to the ratty green chair and taking a seat. Taking her hand into his he kissed it gently. After being put into the coma like state, and witnessing what it was that Trish had been a part of, it made it easier to say what he needed to say now.

"Yes she does. The nurse told me that you have been here pretty much day and night since the accident. Is that true?"

Shawn looked up from her hand and saw the look in her eye. He recognized it as the look he had when people asked him about his past with Rebecca. She didn't remember a thing. Knowing that threw him off kilter and he immediately felt his body grow cold. Not wanting to alarm her he stood to his feet and walked a little ways away from her.

"Yeah, it's true. I thought you might need to be with someone, that it in someway might have helped you come back to us."

"Well it seems it worked. You want to tell me what's on your mind Shawn? You look like a wounded bird."

She always did have a way of reading his face and actions, he thought quickly before turning to face her. He didn't know where to begin, what to say to make her see that while she had been in the coma he had fallen in love with her. Hell, he couldn't even believe it.

"It's nothing really. I just seem to have a lot on my mind."

"Are those for me?" she said pointing towards the flowers that were still tightly grasped in his hands. If she didn't get those flowers away from him soon he was going to kill them.

"Oh, yeah they are. I thought it might do something to sweeten the room. I didn't know you had woken up though or I would have gotten more of them. You had a lot of people scared."

His heart was breaking. He wanted to tell her how he felt. He had come here this time to do just that. After finding out what she had been doing in her dream state and knowing that she loved him, he wanted to make sure she knew it was true for him too in real time. The more he looked at her now though the more he felt a sick feeling in his stomach. She didn't remember any of it which meant they weren't in love anymore. That was a fact Shawn just didn't and couldn't deal with.

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

"It's more then what you are telling me isn't it Shawn? Is there something wrong with me that I don't know about?"

He knew he had to tell her that she had nothing to worry about but his voice felt like it was going to crack under the pressure. He just couldn't bring his lips to say anything but what he had been sent there to tell her.

"No, there isn't. It's nothing alright. I am just really surprised to see you awake. Surprised and happy if you don't mind me saying. I missed having you around."

"Well I missed being around if I may say so. I don't really remember much of anything surrounding the accident, or what I did in the coma, but I do know that I have been given a second chance for some reason and I just have to realize why."

Shawn knew why but he didn't dare say. He wanted to just come out and tell her how he felt before his whole chest caved in from the pain. Even after the years of falling for Rebecca, he had never felt anything so utterly strong and painful all at the same time. How could people fall in love and still maintain some sanity? Something else he would never know.

"Well I am sure you can figure it out in due time Trish."

She smiled and spoke again. "So tell me what's been going on since I have been out of commission. What is new in the wrestling world?"

"I wouldn't know. I have been here the entire time with you. It seemed that sooner or later they were going to have to give me my own room."

Her heart started beating heavily for some reason for which she didn't know. There was something in here that wanted to reach out and touch him, to make sure he was real. Something had happened to her while she was out and it had left her feeling the best she had ever felt, but at the same time, more weary then ever. What was this connection she now felt she had with Shawn?

"It was that bad huh? Did you at least leave to get clean and get some rest once in awhile? I would hate to think that I somehow kept you here day and night with me."

She didn't know the half of it. He had been there every step with her. From him calling her name, to her telling him that the reason they were together was because he believed. He had run through it all with her and desperately wanted to do it again. Not to mention the only time he had left to get clean had been to get the room next to hers to join her in another place. Another tidbit he couldn't exactly spit out right now.

With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

"I did at one point leave, which is why I wasn't here when you woke up, but other then that, my ass is permanently in that chair. I think it would see big on E Bay."

She laughed and slid back down into the warm hospital bed, that was now equipped with the warmest blankets in the world. Just the feel of them was begging her to go back to sleep.

"Listen Trish, I came here for a reason. I just wanted to tell you that I know what happened to you, and how I factored into it all, and well I love you."

He looked towards her to gauge her reaction to the words that so messily came spilling out of his mouth. He needed to know that no matter if she remembered or not, that she knew he loved her. When he saw the image in front of him he realized it had all been in vain, she had fallen asleep.

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shining' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you....But I lied

"Yeah Shawn, that was a real smart idea. You love her and she falls asleep."

A/N2: It had come to my attention after writing chapter 16 that there was an error in the remark from Stephanie to Shane, he is indeed older then her, and knowing I wanted him to call her little sister at some point, messed me up. I apologize for the error and thank you to those that did notice it.
