Chapter 16:
"Rebecca?" The question comes from his mouth slow, slurred, and raspy. Pain shoots threw Zack's burning head and shivers shake his body. Rebecca's eyes fly open.
"Zack!" She shrieks, and then she can't talk at all…overwhelmed with excitement. When she finally finds her voice,
"Carey! Nurse!" She shouts as loud as she can. They both run in. Carey runs over to her son and pulls him to her, crying. She's hurting him but he doesn't have the heart to tell her. The nurse quickly checks Zack over and then calls the doctor in to do a more proper examination. He, the doctor, tells them that the coma has weakened him dangerously and that the virus has multiplied immensely. Zack could be in the hospital for over two more months, but they're all glad that he's alive at all.
Carey calls Cody and he, Raine, and Maddie are there within the next 5 minutes. Cody, of course, is the first one in. He runs to his mother and brother, hugging Carey and crying. Zack tries to smile or talk…but can't, he's too weak. Raine and Maddie sit on the edge of the bed, smiling.
After a brief pause, Cody turns to his twin brother,
"Zack…" He sighs while finding his brother's shaking hand and holds it.
Rebecca lets her head fall to Raine's shoulder, smiling and crying at the same time.
