Everyday for two weeks Ray was at the hospital, by Neela's side. She hadn't woken up yet and the doctors had no hope for her. The baby was doing well, the doctor's where able to keep the baby going through artificial means. Abby had returned from Croatia, to find her friend still in her coma. Ray was a shell of a man, he was withdrawn.

He wanted Neela to be transported to Baton Rouge, but her state was too fragile for her to be moved from hospital to hospital. Ray had to make a choice he wasn't going to leave Neela's side for one bit so he decided to temporarily move to Chicago until she woke up. Ray called in for a leave of absence, at the hospital he worked at. Everyday Neela would receive visitors, her parents and family flew in to see her and help Ray with Jasmine.

Pratt had asked Ray if he wanted his old job back at County. Ray not wanting to leave her, but he knew he had to support Jasmine and their savings was running low. He accepted the position, during every break he would sit in her room, after every shift he would stay for a few hours before picking up Jasmine from the sitter. About four months had gone by and Neela still had not woken up from her coma. The baby was growing; she was about seven months now. Neela's parents had come to Chicago to pick up Jasmine for the summer months to take her to London. Ray really appreciated them for helping them. Jasmine spent her fifth birthday in London and loved every minute of it. She did visit her mother eventually and was a ray of hope for him. On their fifth wedding anniversary, Ray was sitting in his usual spot when the doctor came in to discuss Neela's case.

"Dr. Barnett, sorry to disturb you."

"It's okay."

"We need to discuss future options"

Ray knew exactly what the options where.

"The baby is growing well, but if in the 8th month if your wife has not woken up we may need to deliver the baby by C-section."

"And what about Neela?"

"Dr. Barnett you know what would next."

"I know, but I can't."

"We still have some time so a miracle would be appropriate."

Ray held his wife hand and was crying praying for a miracle. He lends over and whispered into Neela's ear.

"Neela, I know you can hear me I Love you with all my heart and soul. I need you here with me; I need you to wake up and look at me and tell me everything will be alright. Please baby wake up for me."

All of the sudden Ray felt Neela's hand squeeze his, hand Ray freaked. He kept talking to her telling her to wake up, reminding her that it is Jasmine birthday and their anniversary. Neela started to squirm a little more in the bed. Ray called for the nurses and doctor, to access the situation he really wanted them to confirm to him he wasn't losing his mind.

After the doctor exam Neela they determined she is indeed waking up. She was still pretty weak but she was able to open her eyes to look around.

"Where am I? Neela whispered

"Mrs. Barnett, you are at County General Hospital." said Dr. Archer

"Why am I here?

"Mrs. Barnett do you remember anything?"

"No, I remember being at Abby's with my daughter… Oh god Jasmine where is she?

Neela started to panic.

"She is fine." said a familiar voice

"Ray?"

"Yeah, baby it's me."

"Why does my back hurt so much?"

Neela looked down and saw her stomach had grown.

"The baby, is the baby alright?"

"Yes Mrs. Barnett the baby is fine, we have been keeping him going for months now, and he is growing normally."

"He, I'm having a boy."

"Yeah Neela we are having a boy"

Dr.Archer pulled Ray to the side.

"Apparently your wife has no recollection of how the accident happened; hopefully she will remember the events of that day. We will not pressure her to remember now. But, we will keep an eye on her for the next few days. If she is better we will consider sending her home."

"Thank You, Dr. Archer."

"I am going to send Dr Coburn to exam her and the baby."

"Okay, Thank You so much Dr."
