A/N: Will you guys ever forgive me? I know, it's been…nearly a week since my last update, but I've been busy! I'm so sorry! I'm being run down to my last fumes. I've been passing out the last few nights as soon as my head is hitting the pillow and not waking up once until morning happens (I'm a slight insomniac, so that rarely happens for me and It's been like that for a few days now). I'm actually about dead now, so yeah. I figure, I'll update so you guys don't kill me and I'm shooting again for Friday. Here's hoping something doesn't happen between now and then. I didn't fall off the face of the earth…yet. I may just happen though. If it does, I'll leave instructions for one of my friends to finish uploading the last three chapters for ya guys.

Enjoy the chapter! Reviews are my life!

Chapter 34

Pain, deep muscle aching pain was the first sensation she felt. As consciousness ebbed into her mind. She let out a low groan and as her mind became clearer and the pain not so intense, she remembered one thing.

"Tommy." She said, her eyes closed but she fought to open them. It was as if her lids were locked shut, closed up and never going to open. She relaxed a moment and waited, hoping the feeling would subside. She felt a presence in the room, familiar, but she wasn't able to place it.

"Tommy?" She said again, hoping it would be her love. An audible gasp rang in her ears and her eyes were finally able to open. Her eyes burned as they were exposed to the light and she quickly closed them, unable to stand the brightness. "Jude, it's Sadie." A comforting voice came. Jude's eyes adjusted to the light and she looked over at her sister's concerned face.

"Sadie?"

"That's right honey." Sadie's hand had taken hers and she was caressing it gently, lovingly. Jude glanced around the unfamiliar room, not recognizing where she was. Panic started to set in as the realized she was in a hospital room.

"Sadie, where am I?" She asked, wanting confirmation for her fear.

"You're in the hospital sweetie. Do you remember what happened?" Sadie asked, frowning at her sister in concern.

"I-" Her mind flashed back to that day at G Major. She was walking out, laughing about something with Tommy when her father's voice caught the couple's attention. She remembered feeling fearful and Tommy comforting her fear; The argument and her trying to stop it. She remembered her father pushing her away from him, and then nothing. Her memory got fuzzy at that point. "Yeah, I remember." Jude said, tears filling her vision. "Where's Tommy?" She asked, fearing for her fiancé.

"Kwest and I convinced him to go home earlier today." Jude looked confused. "You've been in the hospital unconscious for three days Jude. I guess you hit your head…I should get the doctors." Sadie said, turning away.

"Sadie, I want to know about Tommy first." Jude said, looking concerned.

"He's fine Jude…mostly. He refused to leave you here; I think he felt guilty about you being here. Anyway, three days of no sleep and barely eating anything…Kwest and I intervened and convinced him to go home and get some rest and they're on their way back." Sadie explained. Jude nodded slightly and Sadie stepped out of the room.

Jude sighed and closed her eyes a moment. Her head hurt and she reached up and felt the bandages that circled her head. She withdrew her hand, and snapped her eyes open. The fall, hitting her head…Sadie said something about getting Tommy and Kwest back, but there wasn't time…Her mind quickly turned over the information and more panic set in. My baby… She thought, her face paling.

The door opened and Jude's face snapped to the door, wincing as she did so. In walked a doctor and a couple nurses. They ran some tests and Jude tried to ask them about her baby, but they wouldn't let her ask questions at that point.

After they finished her tests, they declared Jude well but wanted to keep her a couple more days under observation. They assured Jude her baby would be ok, as long as the young woman took things easy for the next few days. The doctor and nurses left the room and Sadie came in, Kwest on her heels.

"Where's Tommy?" Jude asked, trying to look into the hallway behind the couple.

"The Nurse stopped him. He'll be here soon." Kwest assured. "How ya doing Rock Star?" He asked. Jude shrugged.

"I feel ok…my head aches a bit, but other than that, I just feel kind of tired." She admitted, wanting nothing more than to sleep, but she wanted to see Tommy first.

"Good to know you're ok Jude." Kwest said earnestly. Sadie nodded in agreement and Tommy practically ran into the room. He skidded to a stop just behind Kwest and Sadie and Jude grinned at him. Tommy shoved Kwest aside and brushed past Sadie and stopped next to Jude. He took her hand and smiled happily at her.

"Thanks T." Kwest muttered as he rightened himself, but Tommy didn't acknowledge his friend. He just caressed Jude's cheek, smiling brightly.

"You're awake." He breathed out.

"Wow, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out." Jude said, sounding slightly annoyed. Kwest and Sadie snuck out of the room.

"I know, but…" Tommy trailed off, his blue eyes filling with tears. "I was worried." He summed up, looking like he could cry and dance all at the same time.

"Hey, I'm ok." Jude said, looking up at him in concern.

"I'm glad." He said, leaning down and kissing her cheek.

"You missed." She said, jokingly. He smiled at her.

"My aim's off." He replied, leaning back down and kissing her on the mouth. Jude's hands reached up and wrapped her arms around his head and pushed him closer to her. They kissed softly, lovingly for a long moment and pulled back when the need to breath became overwhelming. "I love you, Jude." Tommy whispered, his voice heavy with emotion. "So much it hurts." He added, a single tear falling down his face. Jude reached up and wiped his tear away and leaned forward, wincing slightly from the pain in her head and kissed his forehead softly and running her fingers threw his dark, silky hair.

"I love you Tom Quincy." She said with equal emotion. He smiled warmly at her and caressed her hand. Jude shifted over in the bed and Tommy raised an eyebrow in question at her. Jude patted the bed and yawned. "Join me." She said, her voice sounding groggy.

"I don't think that's in hospital policy." Tommy said smirking.

"Pervert." Jude stated, rolling her eyes. "Get in this bed and sleep with me or else I'll have to…do something." Jude said and Tommy laughed at her threat.

"I'm shaking." He said, grinning and toeing off his shoes and kicking them under the bed so they were out of the way.

"You better be." She warned watching him as he carefully lay down on the bed and Jude snuggled up against him, and rested her head on his chest, and an arm tossed lazily around him. "Much better." She said, feeling content. Tommy smiled and kissed the top of her head and his fingers played lazily with her blonde hair.

"Sleep time." Jude murmured, reaching up to smack his fingers away. Tommy laughed slightly and his arms circled around her, and with his angel in his arms, he never felt more content and at peace. The couple fell into comfortable silence and soon they fell asleep, dreaming about the future.
