A/N: Thank you for reading and reviewing! Enjoy!

You thought raising a young child was a testament to your patience, you thought being married to a federal agent did the same thing. Both paled in comparison to the test of patience you were currently enduring.

Four days ago, ninety six hours ago, Dr. Greer had smiled at you and told you that your wife was starting to wake up; you had no idea that it would take this long. In every television show you have watched, the comatose patient wakes up quickly and all goes back to normal. They can talk, and breathe on their own, smile, and eat.

And while you know nothing will go back to normal, you still have a faint hope that some part of JJ will still be there when she opens her eyes.

"Hey beautiful," You speak to her, smiling as she seems to adjust herself in the bed. It's a little movement, something that use to be insignificant. Now, its a momentous step forward. "It's morning."

"Hi Will," You look up to see Dr. Greer enter the room. "There is coffee and donuts in the break room." She tells you as she approaches JJ. "You know the code."

It's true, you know the code to almost every door on the floor. The staff knows you and JJ, and protects the both of you like family.

"Thanks." You smile at her watching as she goes about her normal exam.

"Hi JJ," She begins and you step back, allowing the skilled doctor to work. You love how gentle she is with your JJ; how no matter what she does, she never inflicts pain. "I heard something from the nurses, about what you did in the middle of the night."

Your head snaps up and you look at the doctor; what had happened and why weren't you told?

"They told me you kept trying to move around pretty good while they were trying to give you your bath." You see Dr. Greer smile and know that your smile is ten times bigger.

Wait! JJ moved more?

"So lets see what you can do." You watch as Dr. Greer grabs JJ's left hand in her own. "Okay, JJ, can you squeeze my hand?" She asks and while you cannot see it, the reaction from Dr. Greer you know JJ did well. "Alright smarty pants," Dr. Greer switches sides, this time to her right side. "Try it with this side." You wait and watch for signs, knowing JJ will show Dr. Greer what's up.

And when you see nothing, your smile disappears.

"JJ, can you squeeze my hand?" Dr. Greer asks again. "Okay, lets try it this way. JJ, can you move your fingers on your left hand." This time, Dr. Greer isn't touching JJ, just giving directions. "Hey! Good job!" Dr. Greer praises JJ, and then switches back. "Now try it on the other hand."

There is no movement.

You have lost track of time, but know it's getting close to lunch. You are starving. And while you try and ignore it, you cannot help it, you have to eat.

"Okay beautiful, I need to run to the cafeteria and get something to eat. Don't run away on me." You bend down to kiss her and stop.

Her eyes are open.

"JJ?" You brush her hair out of her eyes. "Hi baby." You whisper to her, afraid to even blink. You hit the nurse call button as you keep your gaze fixated on her. "Welcome back, I missed you." You kiss her again, laughing as you wipe the tears from her face. "I'm sorry, baby," You tell her, before wiping your eyes to stop the tears from falling.

Suddenly, there is a rush of activity and you find yourself being pulled back and away from the love of your life. Nurses and doctors are all around you and JJ, but the pace is peaceful, not the typical frantic that you have become use to.

But when you see one of the nurses walking in with what looks like restraints, you push back up to her. "What are you doing?" You demand seeing her hand the restraints over to the other nurses.

"We have to restrain her Will." She answers calmly.

"Why?" You demand, looking down to see JJ's eyes closed again, but one nurse holding her left hand down.

"She keeps trying to pull out her breathing tube, Will. Until she wakes up, we needs to do this, the last thing we want her to do is rip out her tube." They explain and you nod, not knowing what else to do.

"Will." You look up and see Dr. Greer. "It's a good thing."

All you can do is trust her; trust her and believe in your wife. And you do, with all your heart.
