Hey guys I need at least 3 more reviews before I can put up another chapter just to know if anyone is reading my stories. Thanks :)

Everything was blurry and bright.His body ached.He wondered if he had died and went to heaven, but when he inhaled he could smell that smell that all hospitals had.It finally came back to him that he had went in the ditch.His vision cleared up and he saw his mother and father sitting on the couch beside his bed. The only sound he could make was to clear his throat.This got his mom and dad's attentions.His mother lept up and his father ran and got the nurse.

"You're awake!" His mother practically screamed.Tears filled her eyes and she wrapped her arms around him, careful not to hurt him.A nurse and doctor rushed in seconds later.Checking all their machines and monitors it was a bit of a blur for Jeremey.

The doctor was mouthing words to his parents that he couldn't really comprehend.The doctor walked over to him.

"Well you sure gave us a scare.You swerved off the road on Highway 98 and went into the ditch.Luckily the guy who almost hit you saw you go into the ditch.He had a cellphone on him and he called 911.You've been out for about an hour since you got here.Your left arm is broken and one ankle sprained.Other than that you're lucky you got away with some cuts and bruises. You'll have to take it easy for a few weeks, but you'll be back on your feet in no time.You should be able to go home tomorrow.I'll come check on you later again.If you need anything press the buzzer beside your bed.Any questions?" The doctor explained.

Jeremey let it all sink in for a second.

"Thanks so much doctor.Just one question.Do you know who the guy that called 911 was?

"His name was Joe Larson.Your parents have thanked him.He left a while ago."

"Alright.Other than that I'm fine."

With that the doctor and nurse left the room leaving Jeremey with his parents.

"We called Lucy about 20 minutes ago.She said she was coming right down.She sounded really worried about you." Diane said a small smile on her face.She knew her son still loved his girlfriend from highschool.

It could have been the cuts on his cheeks, but it looked like they went redder.

"She's coming now?" Jeremey asked his mom.

"Yes, she just had to get the kids ready and she was going to come right down."

"Oh no she has to work tomorrow.I don't want her to have to be up late with all the kids."

"I think she was more worried about you son.She wouldn't have come down if she didn't want to." George said putting his hand on Jeremey's shoulder.Seconds later Lucy rushed in holding a half asleep Kate in her arms.Jake and Krysten were right behind her and both looked like they had been crying.When Krysten saw her dad awake she ran over to the bed.

"Careful sweetheart.Daddy's sore." Diane said to her grandaughter.

"It's ok." Jeremey said smiling and hugging the little girl with his good arm.Jake also ran over to the man he was beginning to love too. Jeremey hugged him too.

George offered to take Kate from Lucy.The little girl had been so tired she slept through all the commotion.

Sensing it was the right time, Jeremey's parents took the kids down to the gift shop.

"Here let's go grab a midnight snack and let your mom and dad talk." George said as they led the kids out of the room.Once they closed the door Lucy sat down in the chair next to Jeremey's bed and tears started to flow from her worried face.

"Hey it's ok." Jeremey whispered gently stroking her hand with his hand that had an IV sticking out of it.

Lucy wiped the tears away on the back of her hand but more seemed to come.She sat there crying for a while then fought them off as she spoke.

"I was so worried about you!" she cried then put her head down.

Jeremey didn't really know what to say.He was happy she was this worried about him though.

"What would I have done if you hadn't have survived?" Lucy choked.

"I don't know.If something ever happens to me though, I hope Krysten gets someone that takes as good care of her that I would."

"It's not just about her either."

"What?" Jeremey asked confused.

"What would I have done without you.I thought about what you said after you left.You're right.And I knew it then too.But I'm scared.What if things don't work out.I couldn't do that to Krysten or Jake and Kate."

"Don't think of what would happen if things don't work out.Because I've never thought of that.It's not possible.Things with us would always work out.We love each other.We're meant for each other.We don't have to rush things.But please, PLEASE try things again."

Lucy got up and leaned down and gently kissed him, not wanting to hurt him.Jeremey pulled her in closer, letting her know she wasn't hurting him.He kissed her passionately.

"Is that your answer?" He smiled. "Because that would be the best get well gift I could get."

"Take that as a yes." She smiled back." But remember.We're taking things slow.I don't want to rush things just yet.And let's not tell the kids just yet.See how things work out at first.

"Sounds good." Jeremey smiled more than even thought possible, even though his face was in enormous pain.

Lucy sat back down and grabbed his hand and lied her head down on his bed.He unfreed his hand for a second and wiped the wet tears off her cheeks.

"Better." He said. "You don't have to cry anymore."

After saying goodnight to everyone, they all went home so he could finally rest.Promising they would be back then next day.Jeremey's parents offered to watch the kids during the day while Lucy was at work.They were going to be in town to bring Jeremey home.
