"Mr. Sanders?"

A doctor's voice startled Greg as he came into consciousness. He realized he had been sleeping. He suddenly realized it was all a dream. Where was Hailey and Connor?

"How is she, doc?"

"Well, the loss of blood has caused your wife to slip into a coma, Greg. We don't know how long it will last. It could last for hours or days. But you can see her now. Just talk to her as you normally would. Studies show human interaction and contact can help a patient come out of a coma quicker."

Greg felt a tear make its way out of his eye as he went to see Hailey. As he came in the room, a nurse was checking Hailey's vital signs. She asked if Greg would like to hold the baby. He said no because he wanted he and Hailey to see him together. He kissed her cheek and took hold of her hand.

"Hey sweetheart, it's me. Guess what? We have a son. I can't wait till we can see him!"

Tears continued to sting Greg's eyes as he spoke.

"Get better, ok Hailey?" He kissed her on the forehead, a tear running off his cheek. He sat there beside her for what seemed to be an eternity. His head was in his hands as he thought about what he would do if Hailey never woke up. He told her how much he loved her and how he couldn't go on without her.
