Ok I'm glad everyone else was happy as I was to have Max back!

Thanks for the reviews!

I do not own Beyblade

Doctors had been running around injecting Hilary with stuff and saying things that went right over Mariah and Emily's heads. The two girls sat holding hands each silently willing Hilary to get better. Two hours had gone by since they had entered the hospital room and Emily was feeling thirsty and tired.

"I'm going to get a coffee, want something?"

"Caramel Macchiato?" Mariah looked a little hopeful,

"Something without caffeine Mariah"

"Apple juice then,if they've got it"

Mariah was left alone she sat looking at Hilary's pale body. Hilary was lying so still as blood was pumped back into her. Mariah needed Hilary, without her she wouldn't be able to survive. They had all begun over the last few months to realise why the Blade Breakers had gotten so attached to the girl, she never gave up, she was so optimistic it was amazing. Hilary was her shoulder to cry on, she was everyone's shoulder, even Lee and Eddy went to her with their problems.

Mariah was crying now, she and Emily had agreed not to get emotional but to talk to Hilary, Emily had only been gone for about 1 minute before Mariah broke down!

"Hilary? Hilary bloody hell don't leave me alone, not now" Mariah sobbed her head resting on the bed

"Mariah?"

"Hi Em" she didn't bother to look up, if anything she was burying her head deeper into the hospital blanket as she asked "did they have any apple juice?"

"Mariah...?" wait that wasn't Emily back with their drinks…!

"Hilary!" Mariah looking up and grabbed her hand smiling joyfully "don't ever do that to me again I thought you were going to die!" Hilary was very pale her eyes fluttered gently she was obviously tired.

Hilary smiled weakly forcing her eyes open, she noticed Mariah's tears "Hey don't cry! You should know by now that it takes more than that to…"

"Get rid of you!" Mariah grinned "Nice to see you're still the same old Hils,"

Hilary smiled groggily and looked around"My baby?" Hilary looked at her friend as panic gripped her heart "Where is he?"

"A healthy and handsome boy he's just a little small so he's being checked on"

It was a few minutes later when Hilary was able to sit up and they bought her son in, she grinned when she saw the full head of light blue hair

"He looks like Kai," The baby was handed over and she cuddled him close, "hello my boy!"

"Any idea about a name?" The nurse smiled down at the young girl,

"Not yet I thought I had another month"

"That's OK we'll just put baby boy Tatibana on the records"

"Oh no he's baby boy Hiwatari" Hilary beamed at her son "Hiwatari," she sighed heavily.

"You have quite a crowd out there you feel up to some visitors?" the nurse laughed inwardly thinking how hard it had been to convince them all that they should wait outside till Hilary was ready.

"Please" Hilary was tired but she perked up as her visitors walked in, Gary was holding a huge bouquet of flowers and Eddy clutched a cute blue teddy bear.

"He's so beautiful" Emily sighed. Lee brushed the baby's cheek with his finger only to have him grab the finger and hold on hard

"That's a beybladers grip" he looked up approvingly

"He might not want to beyblade!" Hilary protested,

"He's Kai's son, sorry Hils but do you honestly think he will be anything else" Lee watched as they all looked at each other and began laughing.

"You have to start eating buddy" Tyson looked at Max unable to do anything but plead with him. It had been a few weeks since Max had been rushed from his living tomb and restored to health. He had stayed in a coma for a full week, Max was awake now there were just two problems he wasn't eating and he wasn't speaking. There was nothing wrong with his vocal chords or throat in any way the doctors decided it was delayed shock and maybe depression. They tried all conventional methods but nothing was working and the doctors were at a loss, they couldn't move him till he was strong but he wouldn't get strong until he ate! I was a viscous circle and there was no end in sight.

Max was visited all the time not a day went by that one or more of his friends would drop by to try and convince him to eat; they had cooked his favourite foods and let the aroma fill his room completely obliterating the smell of hospital. It never worked though, Max was still being fed through a tube and Tyson was getting panicky especially as the doctors were refusing to allow him to even begin physiotherapy until he started to eat. Max looked at Tyson blankly as though he was an alien thing he didn't speak a word. The Blade Breakers were beginning to get desperate and even Mr Tatibana who still seemed to hate the boys had voiced concerns over Max's health

"Eat for goodness sake" Kai was beginning to lose his cool it wasn't that he was angry at Max he actually understood, but he couldn't stand the way Max's eyes had a dead quality to them. They all watched helplessly as Max turned on his side and continued his vacant stare on the opposite wall.

Ok so Max is alive but he's not out of the woods yet! Please R&R
