A/N: Another Chapter, Y'all know the deal! Enjoy!
Aftermath:
John's POV:
It had been two weeks since Ashley's car accident. She was still unresponsive, and had lost the baby. Yea, she was really pregnant again. Talk about two major blows. I had only left the hospital a few times, mostly to see Sydney and the twins, or to sleep. I'd go home, and try to sleep, but would just lie there and stare at the ceiling. The kids were staying with Randy and Stacy right now. They had been great these two weeks, and were a big help for me. It depressed me every time that I walked into the hospital and found out that nothing had changed. I kept hoping that I would walk in, and find Ashley waiting for me to take her home. Vince had been nice and gave me some time off.
I sat next to Ashley's bed, and just watched for any kind of movement. It killed me to look at Ashley. She was so pale, and looked half-dead.
"Come on baby, open up your eyes. Please, just wake up." I pleaded with her.
"Mr. Cena, could I have a word outside with you."
"Yea, hang on doc. I'll be right back Ash." I said as I slowly got up.
"Ok, your wife's condition hasn't improved any since she got here. It also seems that she is in a coma. She didn't appear to have any major brain damage, but there is still very little activity. We've done all we can. I'm sorry."
"Wait, you mean she's like a vegetable?"
"Well, yes. I'm here to ask if you would like to take her off life support."
"Hell no. I'm not giving up on her!"
"Mr. Cena, I know this is a lot to take in. We can keep her alive, but she may never wake up again. I'll give you some time to think about all of this."
"Doc, if she wakes up, will she be the same?"
"Well, we don't know right now. That all depends on if she wakes up. I'm usually optimistic, but this case is different. Once again, I am very sorry. I know what you're going through. My wife died in a car crash too. Left me alone with four kids."
"We have three. A six year old, and six month old twins." I sighed.
"Wait a few more days. We are going to keep trying, because I don't want to lose a patient. I'll be around. Good bye."
"Bye, thanks."
I walked back into the room, and retook my seat next to Ashley's bed. Why was this happening to us? Ash didn't deserve this, I didn't deserve this. The kids didn't deserve this. Why?
Ashley's POV (subconscious):
Man I have a headache. Why is everything so dark? Am I dead? This can't be Heaven, oh please don't let me be in hell!
"Ashley!"
"Who is that?"
"Ashley, it's mom and dad."
"Mommy, daddy? Where are you?"
"Look in front of you darling!"
I opened my eyes, and saw my parents standing in front of me.
"Am I dead?"
"No silly. It's not your time! We just came to visit with you! It's been so long honey!"
"Mom, dad, what's going on? Where am I?"
"You are in your sub-conscious. You were in a bad car crash, but didn't die."
"Really? Oh, I remember that. I've missed you guys so much!"
"We know sweetheart." My mom said as she smiled at me. My dad just stood there, smiling.
"Well, you guys are grandparents! I found out I was pregnant the day you died. I also have twin babies!"
"I'm so proud of you slugger!" My dad finally said.
"I was pregnant again, but I think I lost the baby."
"Yes, you did. But at least you're still alive! Don't worry, you will have another one soon! So, how are you and John doing?"
"Great. We got married. Oh no, poor John. This must be killing him."
"It is darling. You need to wake up, and go take care of your husband, and family."
"I'm trying. I don't want to leave you guys though. I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again!"
"You won't! We know everything that happens! Ashley, open your eyes!" My parents both said to me.
"Mom, dad, I'm trying. I just can't. How is John?"
"See for yourself sweetheart." Just then, I saw John sitting next to me holding my hand, I also noticed that he was crying.
"Ash, please, wake up. I love you baby! I need you, the kids need you. Please, just open your eyes."
"Mommy, daddy, I love you guys!"
"We love you too! Now go and get out of this hospital!" They disappeared, and then everything was black again.
John's POV:
It had been two more days, and I had finally decided to take Ashley off life support. Randy, Stacy, and the kids were there with me. I had to explain to Sydney that this was like Pinky. Mommy was in too much pain, and this was better for her. I think she understood. Randy and Stacy took the kids out of the room, after everyone that could say good-bye, had. I stayed in the room, and watched as the nurse unhooked Ashley from the life support.
"God, please just let her make it through this. Please, I'm begging you." I prayed as the heart monitor got slower and slower. I felt my heart racing as it went even slower.
"Come on Ashley, you can't leave me now! Baby, open your eyes, do not die on me!"
Finally I heard the final Beeeeeeeeeep of the machine. I just lay my head on the bed and started sobbing. Suddenly I heard the beeping start up again, and get faster and faster. Huh, what's going on? I felt a hand on my head, and then looked up. Ashley was awake, her eyes were open, oh my God!
"Why the long face babe? Going to a funeral or something?"
"Oh my God, Ash, You're alive, and awake!"
"What did you expect John? I couldn't leave you all alone now could I?"
"Ashley I love you. Please don't scare me like that ever again!"
"Sorry. I heard everything that was going on, just couldn't leave the darkness. My parents helped me."
"Baby, your parents are dead…"
"I know sweetie. They came for a visit in my subconscious. I lost the baby didn't I?"
"Yea. So they came and visited you? That's weird."
"Yea. Maybe it was all a dream, but it felt so real. They told me that we would be having another baby soon any way."
"Well, I owe them my life. You know I would've died if you were dead. I couldn't live without you."
"Aw, John. I love you so much baby! Is Sydney here?"
"Yea. Hang on, I'll get her." I quickly got up, and ran out into the hall. "Guys, she's alive. I swear, her heart stopped, and then she just woke up! Syd, mommy wants to see you!"
"Really daddy?"
"Yea, go on in." I told my crying daughter. I smiled as she ran into the room. I then looked at Randy and Stacy. Randy came up and gave me a big hug, and Stacy joined in. We all stood there and cried for a little bit, until Sydney came out again.
"Daddy, mommy wants everyone to come in!"
"Ok sweetie. We're coming! Come on guys, let's go see Ashley."
Everyone had been in her room for a while, until the doctor came in again. Randy and Stacy took the kids, and left. I never left Ashley's side. The Doctor finally came in again, with an update on Ashley's status.
"Well Mrs. Cena, you certainly gave all of us quite a scare. I've checked all of your tests, and I just want you to stay overnight for observation. Mr. Cena, let's talk in the hall."
"Baby, I'll be right back!"
"Ok John. Oh, can you get me some Coke and M&M's?"
"Yea. No problem." I said as I followed the doctor out into the hall, once again.
"Mr. Cena, your wife made one of the best recoveries I've ever seen."
"I know, I was there when her heart stopped, and then started again. It was so weird. She said something about her parents being with her, and helping her come back."
"Well, I've heard about that before. How did her parents die?"
"In a car crash. She was 16. They died the day she found out she was pregnant."
"That is weird, but I'd believe it. Mr. Cena, there is no other way to describe this than a pure miracle. Congratulations, your wife will be perfectly fine in a few weeks, after her broken wrist heals. She'll be released in the morning. Bye!"
"Thanks doc. Bye!" I said, then went to the vending machine to get the Coke and candy. I came back to Ashley's room, and saw her getting dressed.
"Ash, you can't leave yet. Tomorrow morning."
"I know, I just can't be in that hospital gown anymore. Did ya get me Pop and M&M's?"
"Yea. How's your wrist?"
"Oh, it's a little sore. When does the cast come off?"
"About three or four weeks. Does your head hurt?"
"Not too much. Just feels like a little migraine! Want some M&M's?"
"Um, yea. So did you see the light at the end of the tunnel?"
"No, I wasn't ever dead. Well, not fully. It was really dark for the longest time. Kind of creepy."
"I would think so. I got to go to the bathroom. Be right back."
"Ok, I'll be sitting here, waiting."
Ashley's POV:
That was weird. I wonder if my parents were right about that another baby thing? Was that all a dream? Who knows! I'm just glad I woke up! I smiled when John came back into the room. I finally took a really good look at him. Boy, he was really scruffy looking. Hadn't shaved, and looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. Poor guy, he was here almost 24/7.
"John, you look tired."
"Yea, I am. I really need to shave too!"
"Eh, it's not that bad. Come sit by me baby, on the bed."
He didn't hesitate, and plopped down next to me.
"So did the doctor say no sex for awhile?"
"He didn't say anything to me, which is a good thing!" John said as he looked at me grinning. I just smiled back, and lay my head back on the pillow. John let his head sink down to my shoulder, and a few minutes later he was snoring. I had missed his snoring! I smiled and flipped on the TV, and waited for the morning to come.
A/N: So what did y'all think? Did ya like it or hate it? I couldn't kill off Ashley! I'm not that mean! Let me know what ya think! Peace!
