The Wreck

Since Topanga was in a coma, Shawn sat down with Doctor Carter to go over Topanga's injuries. What he heard shocked him, because most of the outcomes did not end up very favorably and is was by sure luck that Topanga was even still alive.

Dr. Carter- I have to tell you Mr. Hunter that your wife has been though a lot in the last few hours.

Shawn- What exactly are her injuries?

Dr. Carter- They are pretty grim , she has a broken arm, broken leg, fractured pelvis, lacerations on her face, arms and legs, not to mention,

possible brain injuries, which is the reason she is in a coma.

Shawn- Is it true the longer the coma lasts the more dangerous it is?

Dr. Carter- Yes, the longer she is in the coma, the more unlikely that she will ever wake- up.

Shawn shut his eyes in horror. He couldn't believe he just found Topanga again and now there was very high chance of losing her all over again. It was so unreal and he hated this feeling like he is spinning out of control.

-flashback-

After dropping of Shawn Cory at school Topanga had to run some errands before heading home. Nothing to exciting happened until leaving her third stop. As she was pulling out she was sideswiped. This caused Topanga to hit the car in front of her head on. What caused most of Topanga's injuries came from her car flipping six times and coming to rest in the middle of a barbed wire fence. As the paramedics got there within minutes of seeing the totaled car they knew that cutting Topanga out was the only way to safely remove her.

It took over just two hours to cut the poor girl out of the mangled car and get her to the hospital. Once there she was placed in the care of Doctor Noah Carter. He spent another hour getting Topanga stable enough to call her emergency contact to find out what to do next. Doctor Carter did not want to scare who he thought was Topanga's husband. But Topanga's injuries were thought to be very grim outcomes because most people do not recover. He hoped this case would be different.

-end of flashback-

The next day after the crash Cory went to his mother's house only to find Topanga's son eating lunch. When Amy Matthews saw her son , she took him into the living room to talk without scaring Shawn Cory.

Cory- What's Topanga's son doing here mom?

Mrs. Matthews- You must not know yet, but Topanga was in a car crash yesterday, Shawn called me to watch her son. He's with her though.

Cory- Oh no, is she going to be alright?

Mrs. Matthews- I really don't know Cory.

Cory- I'm going to go to the hospital to sit with him and be there for Topanga.

Mrs. Matthews- good, I still have to figure out what to tell Shawn Cory.

Cory- I don't know either but I will mention it to Shawn.

Mrs. Matthews- okay

After another ten minutes Cory left to go to the hospital. Shawn was shocked and happy to see Cory but knowing that he really needed a friend. Within a matter of minutes Doctor Carter came in to update Shawn on Topanga's condition.

Dr. Carter- Mr. Hunter, I'm sorry but Mrs. Hunter is not improving as much as I like, her brain has even swelled a small bit.

Shawn- Thank you, doctor(sounding defeated)

Leaving Cory confused over the fact the doctor calling Topanga "Mrs. Hunter" But Cory knew Shawn did not hear it.

Shawn- oh, Topanga(sad)

The doctor walked away to do rounds & check on his other patients.

Cory- Shawn, I know you probably did not notice, but the doctor called Topanga your wife.

Shawn- wow, I haven't really noticed but it does sound nice.

Cory- what is the deal with that?

Shawn- She had me down as the emergency contact.

Cory- oh, so what's the story between you and Topanga?

Shawn smiled in just remembering he motions to Cory to sit down. Shawn starts to tell Cory about the past. Cory really starts to see that Shawn really cares about Topanga. From what he hears Topanga also cares for Shawn very deeply.

Cory- so her son is yours or what?

Shawn- He's mine Cory, his full name is Shawn Cory Hunter Jr. after us.

Cory- and mom is watching him?

Shawn- yeah

Cory- what are you going to do Shawn, it must be weird for you?

Shawn- yeah it is

Cory- have you guys talked at all or has it been too hard?

Shawn- we've talked some, Cory

Cory- has she told you the reason she ran away?

Shawn- yes

Cory- did you believe that reason?

Shawn- sure did, she said she was scared.

Cory- but you are not back together, you must want to take things slow.

Shawn- not anymore

Cory- oh why is that?

Shawn- can't you see her(points to her in the bed)that is the mother of my child and the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Cory- then do something about it Shawn, let her know, don't let her slip though your fingers like I did.

Shawn- how can I, she is in a coma for goodness sakes!!! She can't hear me.

Cory- yes she can Shawn, I bet you could pull her back in the land of the living , she probably thinks the only thing worth living for is that little boy.

Shawn- ok I will give it a shot

Cory- good I will wait in the waiting room, just remember she needs you right now.

Shawn- thanks, Core.

Cory- your welcome, oh think about what mom could say to your son about all this.

Shawn- okay

And Cory slips out to leave Shawn with Topanga. Shawn takes a seat on the edge of her bed and grips her hand. And once he starts talking he can't stop. The things he talked about were how much he couldn't wait to start a life with her. And the possibly of have more children. After having the perfect wedding for them. At some point Shawn thinks he feels Topanga squeeze his hand but he realized he must be dreaming. He got up and placed a kiss on her lips before going to talk to Cory.

Shawn- can you sit with her for a bit Cory?

Cory- of course, where are you going?

Shawn- to go talk to my son, call me if there's any change

Cory- I promise

Shawn- thanks(as he walks out)

When he got there he saw their son playing with a set of blocks. Within two hours Shawn Cory has really taken to his father. Shawn used this time and the blocks to explain what happened to his mother. Also to make sure Shawn Cory was comfortable at the Matthew's house. Not to mention re insuring their son that as soon as his mother was strong enough to see him that his daddy would come and pick their son up.

Shawn Cory- ok daddy (hugging Shawn)
