I am writing this today not just because of the reviews although that is part of it. I'm writing in honor of my 7 year old cousin Jesse who passed away in a car crash yesterday. Rip Cuz I may not have known you well but I'll always love you. This chapter skips a few months after Adam was shot by the gun. On with the story

Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10.

Hours easily turn into days which turned into weeks and weeks turning into months. Everyday Stacey, Kevin, Gwen, and Ben would visit Adam. Adam had been in a coma since he arrived a few months before because Gwen kept saying he was healing himself but even now it could seem doubtful. She had explained to them that if he didn't wake up by a certain day then they should pull him off the support that helped him breathe and live at the moment.

Kevin cried everyday he saw Adam and Stacey figured she'd never be the same without Adam. He was her other half. They knew everything about each other even what they've hiding from their dads. They were there for each other for everything and she didn't to life her life without him.

Ben couldn't help but blame himself. After all the alien race was after him for changing their future. He came by everyday dealing with it in his own way his family barely taking about this but everything else. Adam's friends would call everyday asking about him. Ben never knew what to say. He looks at his only son everyday wishing it was Ben instead. The aliens managed to kill him slowly without actually laying a hand on him.

Gwen watched this from outside the room with a nurse friend of hers named Kayla. She said, "He needs to wake up soon. The family is tearing themselves apart in silence. Ben blames himself, Stacey is wonder how she'll be an only child when it's always been the two of them, and Kevin is crying even more for his child. Adam won't be the only one we've lost then."

Kayla and Gwen started walking when Kayla asked, "What do you mean, Gwen?"

"Look at them Kayla," Gwen said. "They're falling apart one by one and the three of them will have the hardest time moving on should worse come to worse. We'll lost Ben most likely from the plumbers if he blames himself but his team needs him and Kevin needs him as well as Stacey. Nothing will be the same if Adam doesn't make it. Ben and Kevin said they can't keep their son in pain. If he's not awake by May 16. I'm to pull the plug on the life support. I don't think I can Kayla. He's my nephrew for Pete's sake."

Kayla said, "I have a feeling you won't have to deal with that or at least I hope."

Later that night

Ben has taken to spending the night where Adam was not wanting him to wake up alone. If he ever wakes up anyway. Kevin and Stacey had gone home many hours before since the clock was chiming 3 am. Ben this time was not sleeping. He simply sat there waiting not exactly sure for what. Minutes ticked by and a soft groan from the bed could be heard. Ben looks over and sees eyes fluttering to reveal beautiful green eyes.

Ben says gently, "Adam?"

Adam replies with a rough voice, "Dad?" He swallows a few times before continuing. "Dad? What happened?" Ben explained to Adam what happened then he called Gwen, Kevin, and Stacey to come and see him.

They all bursted in happily. Gwen got right to work checking his vitals and everything then returning with water for him. Stacey smiles happily while holding her brother's hand and tells him what he missed. She reads him the cards from family and friends. Ben holds a happily crying Kevin. Gwen leans against the doorway to watch this happy scene unfold the rest of that way.

There we are. There will be one more chapter. I hoped you enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it a lot. Please review and thank you for reading. I'm going to be so Good night. HeartofaGoddess2009 out! Later !
