A few weeks had passed know and Eddie was still in a coma though the doctors said things were looking up, Michael had visited his dad everyday with Rachel as Marion had work.

Waterloo Road had also re-opened but the police still didn't know who tried to murder Eddie they didn't have enough evidence to convict anyone.

"Auntie Rachel, how comes daddy doesn't want to wake up?" Michael asked innocently.

"Daddy does want to wake up Michael, it's just he's very poorly at the moment he can't open his eyes" Rachel tried to convince Michael but he gave her an unsure look in return.

I want to wake up now...

"His arm just moved" Michael shouted excitedly as the nurse walked in.

"What just happened?" The nurse asked curious as to why Michael was so excited.

"Um, Eddie's arm just moved" Rachel smiled "Is that a good thing?"

"Well, to be perfectly honest it's most likely to be just a spasm of the muscle"

"Ow" Rachel sunk back into the chair when out of the corner of her eye she saw that boy again the one that had passed Eddie's room and looked in for a few minutes every day, he looked about 17, he had sun kissed skin and dark brown hair.

Rachel got up and walked to the door but the boy noticed her and sped off before she had a chance to even catch a glance of him go out the door, she sighed to herself.

A groan came from inside the private room which Eddie had been hooked up to all sorts of machines and Rachel shot back in.

The site that greeted her eyes was the one that everyone had been hoping for over the last few weeks, Eddie place his hand on his head in obvious pain but all that seemed to wash away when he managed to adjust to his surroundings and saw to two people he loved most Rachel and Michael.

"Eddie" Rachel smiles a tear forming in the corner of her eye.

"Daddy!" Michael beamed.

"Alryt mate?" Eddie croaked cuddling him.

"Yeah i am now, look do you like my picture for you, Rachel helped me make it" He said jumping off the bed and picking up the picture where all his toys from the last weeks had just seemed to pile up were.

"Yeah it's brilliant mate" Eddie smiled as Michael sat on the floor and carried on playing with his toys.

Eddie turned his attention to Rachel who was watching Michael and the massive grin on his face.

"Hey" he caught her attention and took hold of her hand.

"Hey" Rachel chuckled slightly as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"What's a matter?"

"Nothing, it's just nice to hear your voice again"

"Yeah" Eddie smiled "It's nice to see your beautiful face again"

"Come here" He motioned with his head and wiped her tear away with his thumb.

"I think i better get the nurse let her know you've woke up"

"Alryt"
