Ted sighed as he walked back toward the waiting room. Damn Dibiase, he thought, The time you get the balls to tell her how you feel and she isn't even conscious! Nice.
"How's she doing man?" Cody asked as Ted walked back into the room.
Ted shrugged. "She still hasn't waken up. But...I did tell her."
"Tell her what?" Cody asked confused.
"I told her how I felt. I told her that I love her, and I want her to wake up so we can be together. I am such a jackass-the time I get the balls to tell her the truth, and she isn't conscious to respond!"
Cody smirked as Randy finally walked into the waiting room. "How's she doing?" he asked.
"She has alot of severe injuries, and her doctor said that she needs to wake up soon so they can do further tests. That way, they can make sure this or isn't any permanent damage," Cody said.
"Have you guys seen her?"
Ted nodded. "Yeah we both have. After Cody left the room, I sat down and talked to her. I finally told her how I really felt."
"Well, I'm going to see what room she is in, and try and see her," Randy said as he walked away from his friends. Cody slapped Ted on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go get some air," he told his friend.
Not even 10 minutes after Cody and Ted went outside, Carly's doctor walked into the waiting room, and looked toward her parents. "Mr. Flair? Mrs. King? A nurse was just in your daughter's room a few minutes ago, and she has woken up."
"Thank God!" Marlene exclaimed as Jeff wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Can we see her?"
"I would like to ask her some simple questions to make sure there isn't any brain damage. I would like you to be present in the room."
Ric and Marlene followed Dr. Williams into Carly's room, and when Marlene saw Carly lying in the bed awake, she instantly ran to hug her daughter.
"I'm so glad to see you awake!" Marlene exclaimed.
"Mom...too tight!"
"Oh sorry honey," Marlene said, instantly letting go. Ric then walked toward the bed to give his daughter a hug, and then the both of them stood at the foot of the bed while the doctor looked into her eyes with a little flashlight.
"Carly, I'm Dr. Williams, and I'm going to ask you some simple questions. This will help us determine if there is any brain or nerve damage. Are you ok with this?"
"Sure," Carly said.
"Ok, I was going to ask who these two people are, but you have already called them mom and dad. My question is do you know what year it is?"
"2009," Carly said.
"Good. Now, can you tell me your full name?"
"Carly Marlene Flair," she said.
"Very good. Are you married?"
A look of annoyance flashed across Carly's face. "No, I'm not married."
Dr. Williams continued with the questions for another ten minutes or so, and then turned toward her parents, nodding. "She answered all the questions correctly, so we will do an MRI in the morning, but I can't see any evidence of any damage."
"That is wonderful to hear!" Ric exclaimed.
"Yes, that is a big hurdle to jump. I'll be back in awhile to check on her again. See you soon," he said as he walked away.
"Thank you," Marlene said as she went to the side of Carly's bed. "Honey, how are you feeling?"
"Like a bus ran me over. What happened?"
"You were on the way to the arena, and another car rammed into the back of your car. Eventually you lost control, started spinning and flipped several times into the ditch."
"That sounds alot like Ally's accident. Did the same person do this to her?" Carly asked with tears in her eyes.
"We don't know honey," Marlene said. "I promise though we are going to find out, and the person will not get away with it."
Carly nodded. "Umm...is Ted here?"
"Yes, I believe he stepped outside to get some air," Marlene said as she glanceda at Ric, who nodded in agreement. "I think he and Cody both went outside."
"Umm...not that I don't want to talk to you guys, but I really need to see him. Can you get him for me please?"
"Sure," Ric said. He kissed her on the forehead, and both he and Marlene left the room.
"What do you think she wants to say to him?" Marlene asked in the hallway.
"Even though neither have admitted it, they love each other Marlene," Ric said confidently. "Hopefully, she is finally going to tell him."
When they both walked into the meeting room, they saw Ted, Cody and Randy talking with some of the divas. "Ted, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ric asked.
Ted nodded, and followed Ric into the hallway. "What's up Ric?"
"Carly's doctor told us about 10 minutes after you guys went outside that she woke up. He asked her some simple questions, and she answered all of them correctly...so he doesn't see any evidence of brain damage."
Ted breathed a sigh of relief. "That's awesome to hear."
"She actually asked to see you."
Ted smirked and nodded as he left Ric's presence and walked down the hall toward Carly's room. As he stood in front of her door, Ted could see Carly in the bed, and she looked deep in thought. He took a deep breath himself, and quickly knocked on the door. Carly looked toward the door, and smiled as she watched Ted walk toward her.
"Hey," she whispered.
"Hey," he said as he sat gently on the bed, and took her hand. "How are you feeling?"
"Like a bus ran over me. Mom told me my car accident was similar to Ally's. Do you think the same person that caused mine caused hers?"
Ted shrugged. "I don't know Carls. Unfortuantely, some people are asses like that. Whoever caused this won't get away with it. They will be caught. I promise," Ted said as he rubbed his thumb on the top of her hand.
"Thanks," she said and took a deep breath. She knew it was time. "Umm...Ted can I tell you something?"
"Sure, anything."
"I heard you and Cody in here earlier. I felt Cody's hug, and umm...I heard your confession."
Ted laughed nervously, not quite knowing what to say. "Carly..."
Carly held up a finger to Ted's lips so he couldn't speak. "Before you say anything, I just want to say...that I love you too."
A small smile crept on Ted's face. "Y-You do?"
Carly nodded. "Ted, we have been through so much, and like you said, I also had a crush on you in high school, but didn't say anything. When Justin was in the picture, you showed me how a true man should treat a woman. When you told me that Kristen was pregnant on New Year's Eve, I was crushed. This may sound selfish, but I was excited to hear that she was faking it, and even more excited that you found out. Ted...to sum it all up, I want to be with you too."
Ted nodded as he carefully leaned down and kissed her forehead. He and Carly locked eyes, and then something happened that should have happened along time ago. Ted leaned down and softly kissed Carly on the lips. They didn't realize that Cody and Randy were standing at the door, about to ask to come in. Cody turned toward his friend and chuckled. "It's about damn time!"
