It has been two months since Randy was struck down by Stacy Keibler and was put into his coma. Everyone in the world had Randy in their prayers and hoping for Randy to come out of his coma. Vanessa lived each day as best as she could, but every time she was on the road she wondered if Randy was going to wake up when she was away. Megan was handling the situation a lot better than Vanessa was, but then again she was in St. Louis and could see Randy everyday.
Vanessa returned home after Raw, and the first thing she did was go to the hospital, she ignored the pain she was in as she entered the hospital room. She smiled as she saw Randy's brother Nathan sitting next to Randy's bed playing poker. "Hey Nate, who's winning?"
"I am going to owe him 250 dollars when he wakes up. I can't tell what he has with that poker face… and he usually has nothing. He plays better poker in a coma than when he awake." They shared a laugh as Nate put down the cards and he stood up and hugged Vanessa. "How are you doing girl?"
Vanessa sighed as she hugged him back and said, "Doing good, considering I got my ass kicked yesterday and my fiancé is in coma." She sat down in the chair once occupied by Nathan and looked at Randy. "How is he doing?"
"Still no response to anything," said Nate, "although we thought we saw his lips twitch when you came on the television last night and totally dissed Melina."
Vanessa smiled lightly as looked at Nate, "Naturally, only when I am on TV that he does that." Vanessa sighed as she looked back at Randy, "I can not believe that he is still in a coma. His wounds have healed and the doctor's say that his brain activity is normal… why hasn't he woken up?"
"I don't know," said Nathan, "I just don't know." He noticed the time and sighed as he grabbed his jacket, "Listen, I gotta go, I got to go and pick up Jen and the kids from her mother's house. I will see you later kay?"
"Yeah," said Vanessa as she waved Nathan off and he left. When he did Vanessa turned to Randy and took his hand in hers. "Randy, sweetheart, you need to wake up. The fans miss the Legend Killer and Hunter just regained the title from Dave… he cheated like usual. Every week the fans do an "RKO" chant, in hope that you will wake up when you hear it. Megan misses her daddy a lot, she wants you to wake up so she can spend time with her daddy." She felt the tears forming in her eyes as she kissed his hand, "Randy, you need to wake up, weren't you the one who said that you weren't going anywhere, that you missed so much of Megan's life and if you don't wake up, you will miss more. You and I have been through so much and we were going restart our lives… but Stacy had to come along and ruin it. At least we got our justice and Stacy is spending the rest of her life in jail with what she did, but the justice is not as sweet as I thought it would be, and it's because you are not awake to see it. Please wake up baby. I need you."
Dave and Trish entered the room as Vanessa began to cry, and Trish went up to her as she said, "Oh Vanessa. It's going to be OK." Trish wrapped her arms around her best friend as Vanessa continued to cry. Trish stroked Vanessa's back and offered comfort as much as she could. "Vanessa, he is going to wake up and do you want him to see you like this?"
Dave smiled lightly as he placed his hand on Vanessa's shoulder and said, "Yeah, he would think you have gotten soft on him… and we all know that isn't true. He might want to leave you for a stronger woman." Trish and Dave heard a light laugh coming from Vanessa and they knew that they cheered her up a bit.
Vanessa rose her head from Trish's shoulder and smiled as she said, "You two kill me, but thank you. That meant a lot to mean that you two care so much."
Trish smiled as she said, "How can we not? Vanessa you are my best friend, you had been a friend even when everyone used to call me a slut and all those hurtful words. I am just glad that I have had you in my life, never doubt that."
"Yeah I agree with Trish," said Dave, "you and I had been through a lot, and I will always love you for everything we had shared. Plus it's because of you, Trish and I had found each other and now are planning to get married."
Vanessa looked surprised when she heard this, "Say what?"
"Dave proposed to me last night," said Trish as she showed off her new engagement ring, causing Vanessa's eyes to go wide, "we are getting married."
"Oh my God!" squealed Vanessa as she hugged Trish and Dave, "this is so wonderful! I am so happy for you. At least there is some good news is this dark time."
Trish smiled as she said, "Yeah, well we are not planning to get married until Randy wakes up."
"Yeah," said Dave, "I need my best man there beside me." He went up to Randy and smiled as he said, "You hear that Randy? You need to wake up so I can marry the woman I love, and you marry yours."
Vanessa smiled as she said, "Thanks guys, that means a lot to me and it would to Randy as well, when he wakes up."
Later that day
Vanessa was sitting by Randy, Trish and Dave took her out for a celebration lunch and then dropped her back off at the hospital. Vanessa was flipping through the channels when suddenly she stopped when she saw "The Phantom of The Opera" (Author's note: Just have to say, I have loved this musical for years! The movie is awesome and if you have not seen it, rent it or buy it, it's awesome and worth the money!) playing, just as they were playing the song "All I Ask Of You" (Author's note: Owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber). She smiled lightly as she remembered when she and Randy first saw this together on Broadway and the movie. They always sang the song together and always had beautiful harmony with it. She sang along with the song, but only Christine's part.
(Raoul)
No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
(Vanessa)
Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me
with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
(Raoul)
Let me be
your shelter,
let me
be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .
(Vanessa)
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .
(Raoul)
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask
of you . . .
(Vanessa)
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
As Vanessa was singing, she had her eyes closed so she was unaware of what was going on around her. Meanwhile, Randy was became more aware of his surroundings as the fog that was surrounding him and he opened his eyes. He did not know where he was, and wondered what had happened. He heard his fiancée's beautiful singing voice coming from next to him, and when he looked he saw her sitting there signing with her eyes closed. He knew that she was singing their favorite song that they love to sing together, and knew that soon they would sing together, but he knew the right moment to come in.
(Both)
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .
(Vanessa)
Say you love me . . .
Vanessa suddenly heard a very weak "You know I do…" from the bed, causing her to open her eyes and when she looked at the bed, she gasped she saw Randy looking right at her with his million dollar smile on his face. She smiled lightly as they sang together.
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .
She felt the tears forming in her eyes as she said, "Randy?" She felt a tear running down her cheek as she could not believe that he was awake.
Randy smiled as he said weakly, "Hey Angel." He gently lifted a finger and swiped the tear from cheek. "I did not know that angels could cry."
Vanessa laughed lightly as she said, "They can when they are really happy or really sad. Am I dreaming? Are you really awake?"
"No you are not dreaming sweetheart, I am really awake."
"Oh blue eyes," said Vanessa as she hugged him and felt him wrap his arms around her as she cried of joy, "I never thought you would wake up. I thought I had lost you."
Randy smiled as he stroked her back, "You will never lose me Angel, never again. I was lost for a while, but you were the one who brought me back. Your love and that singing voice of yours brought me back. I love you so much."
Vanessa looked up at him and smiled as she said, "I love you too Randy, and I will always, always love you." Randy and Vanessa smiled as they shared a kiss that showed their love to each other as a rainbow formed in the sky, showing the world that anything is possible.
