Peter, Edmund and Susan were silent all still thinking how Maddie must feel in a coma.
Peter was deep in thought when he felt Maddie squeeze his hand and quickly had hope again and started to smile and since he was so happy he laughed quietly. "what could you possibly be happy about Peter?" Edmund asked, still really sad and now confused to why his brother was so happy.
"she squeezed my hand Ed" Peter said then looked up to see his brother and sister looking very happy and Edmund said "Maddie could you squeeze my hand please" and a couple of minutes later Edmund felt her hand squeeze his lightly.
Edmunds face lit up as he smiled at his siblings "so at least she isn't in a coma, but she could wake up whenever" Susan said, the boys nodded and they all talked about random things until Maddie woke up.
It is now the morning and Maddie still hadn't woken up yet. It was around nine o'clock and the servants had already brought them their breakfast and they had eaten it, also Lucy was with them now. "when is she going to wake up?" Edmund asked "I am not sure Ed" Peter said "don't worry though, she will soon" Susan said, reassuringly and Edmund nodded and they all went back to talk about random things.
They were still sitting in the same position as last night but Lucy was sitting with Susan on the end of the bed. They had been talking for another fifteen minutes when Peter felt Maddie's hand move in his a bit and so did Edmund and they both looked at each other.
Then Peter said "I think she is waking up" then all attention was on her as they waited for her to wake up. She groaned then her eyes fluttered open and the first thing she saw was her brothers and sisters looking at her with big smiles.
She said "hi" just before her brothers both hugged her tightly, but still not hurting her injuries, for like five minutes then they let her go. Then she saw all of her siblings with tears in their eyes and then she was pulled into another hug but this time by her siblings.
Maddie tried to sit up but was immediately pushed back down by Peter and Edmund "the doctor said that you couldn't sit up Maddie" Susan said and Maddie nodded then Peter said "oh, you should take this medicine, the doctor told us to give this to you once you woke up" then he grabbed the small cup of medicine and handed it to Maddie who drank it.
"eww, that was just manky" Maddie said and everyone laughed a little bit "so are all of you okay?" Maddie asked. Edmund rolled his eyes playfully then said "Maddie of course you would ask that, when you are the one in a hospital bed, but yes we are fine" and they all laughed a little.
They talked for a little longer when the doctor came in "hello everyone, it is good to see you are awake Maddie how are you feeling?" the doctor asked "I am alright, I guess" Maddie replied "right now let me check how you are healing Maddie" the doctor said and picked up a tablet looking thing which told him how she was healing.
"well, it looks like you are healing better than expected so you will be allowed to leave the hospital any time but you need to take your medicine twice a day and any other time when your stomach is hurting, you need a lot of rest and whenever you are going somewhere make sure that there is someone with you in case something happens" the doctor said and Maddie was a little sad since she hated it when people had to look after her.
"don't worry doctor we will make sure that all of that happens" Peter said, and everyone agreed and they weren't going to let Maddie out of their sight "this will only have to go on for two weeks then she will be fully healed" the doctor said and they all smiled knowing that she wouldn't be in pain for much longer.
"does that mean that she can leave now, doctor?" Edmund asked "yes it does so I will leave so you can all go" the doctor said before walking away leaving the children to go back to their quarters. "so I was thinking that maybe Maddie could share with Susan for now just in case anything happens in the night" Peter suggested "yes that would be good" Susan said but Maddie shook her head and said "no you don't have to do that for me" "Maddie its nothing and it will be fun" Susan said and smiled at Maddie then Maddie nodded slightly.
They all stood up and Maddie stood up and took a step but wobbled a bit and almost fell to the ground but Peter caught her before she collided with the floor "woah Maddie, let me help you" Peter said while putting his arm around her waist supporting her up.
They all walked to Susan's room and once they got there they put Maddie on her bed and used some pillows to prop up her back and the others sat on chairs around the room and they all talked for a while.
"Maddie let me just make this clear, you aren't having another boyfriend ever" Peter said and Edmund and Susan nodded in agreement and Maddie just rolled her eyes and chuckled a little "whatever" Maddie said. They talked a little while longer then Susan said "Maddie you should probably get some sleep, but don't worry we won't leave" "okay" Maddie said and turned over a little and the others whispered until she was asleep.
Thank you for reading. Yay Maddie isn't in a coma anymore!
