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: Tinker Belle, I just want to thank you for your words, they really touched my heart. As far as putting this story on your site, do what you did the last time I touched you with a story. You put up my Shane/Hailey story up when it affected you and I know you, you will do it with this one too, at least now that I told you too. It means a lot that you think my writing is good enough to be posted there. To the rest of you that reviewed thank you as well, it means a lot that you are following along as I write it. My feelings mirror your own believe me. Wait until the end of the story and you all get individual thank you notes. Also, have any of you that have been posting had any issues with the damn page break thing in the document manager? I dont know how I survived without this thing and I have tried it on three different computers and it doesnt work on any of them. I am just wondering if its giving any one else errors as well. LOL I feel naked without the darn thing even though I posted for a year without the darn thing. Anyway let me know. LOL

Shawn reached the hospital room door just as the doctor went to close it. He knew it was against regulations to ask to be allowed in, but he needed to see her. If she was slipping farther into death and was leaving him, he just had to know. He had to know for sure she was dead with his own eyes, he couldn't risk his heart any more then he had.

"You know I can't let you in now Shawn, so why don't you go have a seat with the pretty young lady there, and I will come out and see you as soon as I can discern what is going on."

There was a noise in the room then, almost as if Trish herself had made the decision for the doctor. As the doctor turned around, the nurses crowding around everywhere, he noticed that she had indeed made that request they both had heard.

"Let—my—husband in please."

The doctor turned to Shawn then, the look of utter disbelief written all over his face. When the machines had gone off, a code blue had sounded, and they all expected the worst, Shawn included. Now, as everyone could see, she was well and good, and the machines had gone off in such a way because she had been worked up upon entry back to life.

"Are you the husband she is talking about Shawn?" the doctor asked, lifting his eyes at believing he had been denied that information this whole time.

"No, I don't know what she's talking about. She wasn't married as far as I knew." It was then that he realized there was a lot more going on then what him or the doctor had known before, and it had something to do with the coma.

The nurses came to the doctor then, conferring that everything with the patient was going according to plan, and the doctor turned back to the suddenly impatient Shawn. The look the two men let pass between them was of utter disbelief and shock.

"It seems she would like to see her husband. Since you have been everything to her that she needed, I would assume to believe that she meant you. You have my authority to go into that room, and don't come out unless she actually has a husband somewhere."

Shawn smiled at the doctor and slipped past him into the now brightly lit room. It had changed in the mere minutes since he had left it to talk to Rebecca. It looked more alive then it ever had, or maybe that was how he saw Trish now as she smiled at him.

"Did I keep you waiting long?" she asked, oblivious to anything going on around her other then the fact that Shawn was now there with her.

"Way to long for my liking. Thank God you are back."

She smiled at him then, her face turning to a healthy peachy glow. "I already thanked him, enough for the both of us I might add."

"Listen Trish, you have been out of it a long time, and the last time I tried to tell you this, I failed at it and you feel asleep. I don't want to take the chance that it will happen again and I might never tell you so I will just say it."

"Would it happen to be that you love me by any chance?" she said, the grin now slowly growing from ear to ear, lighting her face up more then room ever could.

He sat down beside her and took her hand into his, tears fighting to get out, that he was keeping bottled up. He didn't imagine that she would ever come back to him, and seeing her like this right now, he wanted to freeze frame it forever in his mind. She had never looked more beautiful then she did right now, hospital gown and all.

"I've never been the kind of guy to let his feeling show, and I thought I would get by fine just being like that for the rest of my life. When you had your accident and I was faced with losing someone I consider my best friend, I knew the only way, only hope of saving you had to come from how I felt. I love you Trish Stratus and I have been killing myself trying to tell you that and make you believe it and not leave me again."

Her eyes welled up as he spoke, and he placed his arms around her gently, so not to hurt her, wanting only to take care of her for the rest of his life. He wasn't good with words when he wasn't in the ring, but all he wanted to do now was tell her he loved her over and over again. There were no sweeter words he could say then those. His life was better now that she had kicked her way into it and he didn't want it to change.

"I never got the chance to tell you that I loved you too, that was until our wedding day, when we came together as one forever."

Shawn raised his eyebrows, knowing that she was remembering something that didn't take place in the real life, in the real time. He looked at the way her eyes lit up, telling him how much she enjoyed marrying him, and he didn't want to make it worse, but he didn't want to mislead her any longer then he had.

"Um—Trish, I think there are some things I need to tell you."

"I thought you said enough earlier? What could you have to tell me now?"

The moment he looked her in the eyes, he knew that he couldn't tell her. Not now, not when she was so happy and the glow that came across her face was so beautiful and made her look like a real come to life angel. He didn't want to break her heart after she had fought to come back to him.

"I just wanted to do this." He said, reaching in and touching her cheek with his palm ever so lightly. "You've been through so much lately, and I just want to tell you that I will love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life making memories of us." With that said, he reached in and gingerly touched his lips to hers, sealing their connection to the end of time, and then some.
