One of the tests that they ran showed something unusual. The results would have to wait until Janet woke up. For nearly 2 weeks Janet teetered on the edge. She was in a coma. Jack spent every spare moment by her bedside. Because of Terri, they let him spend the night. He could have slept in the spare bed, however, he choose to sleep with his head on Janet's bed holding her hand. He talked to her every chance he got. Never knowing if she could hear him.
"Janet, I love you so much. You have to come back to me. Everyone is pulling for you. Your parents are here. Your sister Jenny has been calling every day. Janet, you are everything to me. My life means nothing without you. You are my reason for living. Nothing matters without you by my side. You make up for the part of me that is missing. You are my life line. I love you Janet. Forever and always, from now until eternity. No one can ever take your place in my heart or my life. Come back to me Janet. My life is meaningless without you in it."
Terri was standing in the doorway and heard Jack talking to Janet. He had said similar things over the past 2 weeks. But this was the first time she had cried. The doctors were unsure why she was still in a coma. All indications were that she should have woken up by now. Until she woke up they wouldn't know the extent of the damage done to her. It really was a wait and see game.
The suddenly in the middle of the night somewhere in the 2nd week Janet awoke. Jack was still holding her hand. He sensed that something had changed. He awoke and saw that she was stirring. With that he called the nurses station. They confirmed that she was starting to wake up. She woke up slowly. She looked around and saw Jack standing in the background. She smiled and tried to talk.
"Where am I?"
The doctors talked to her at this point.
"Mrs. Wood you have been in a coma for almost 2 weeks. You were in a serious car accident. You were injured and have been here ever since."
"2 weeks. It doesn't seem like it has been 2 weeks. The last thing I remember was driving to meet Jack for dinner at his restaurant."
"Temporary memory loss is common after injuries like this. We have to examine you further now that you are awake. Mr. Tripper I have to ask you to wait outside. It will only be a little while."
Jack walked outside the room. Feeling much better than he had in awhile, he was actually able to smile a little when Terri made a small joke. He was sitting on the bench outside Janet's room and waiting for the doctor's to come out. The door to Janet's room opened. The doctor called Jack inside the room to talk to them.
The first thing Jack noticed was that Janet was staring out the window of her room. She looked like she was deep in thought. Jack couldn't quite read her expression. Jack didn't like the feeling of not being able to tell what she was thinking.
"Mr. Tripper, we ran a number of tests on Janet. Most of the tests were routine. One however showed something unexpected."
Jack was starting to get scared. He had no idea what the doctor was trying to tell him. He had the feeling that it wasn't good whatever it was.
"What exactly are you trying to tell me doctor? You are scaring me."
At this Janet spoke up. "Jack nothing bad is wrong. At least I don't think it is bad."
Jack was getting more frustrated as they kept talking. "Would someone please tell me what is going on?"
Janet spoke up. "I'm pregnant Jack. Your going to be a father."
