"Can we see him?" Gillian asked hopefully.

"No ma'am. You will have to wait another day or so. We need to see how he is doing and he will be going back into surgery soon." He nodded and sanded his hands together.

"Oh... okay..." Gillian muttered. She turned to Ben and shook her head.

"He's a fighter... I am sure he will be okay."

"Ben he won't know who we are!" She reminded him coldly.

"We can... remind him..." Ben said with a shrug.

"Ben..."

"What?"

"He won't know who I am... we will all have to introduce ourselves again. How is Emily going to take it if he has no clue who she is?"

Ben thought for a minute and then looked at her, "You need to calm down... we will deal with it when it comes." He took her hand and lead her to the waiting room.

"Where is Emily?"

"We told her to stay with Gabe at Ria's house. We don't want her hear if he isn't even awake... there is no point."

She nodded and sat down on one of the cushioned chairs. Pulling her legs up to her chest she soon fell asleep.

.:.

Emily paced uneasily as Ria and Gabe watched her, trying to get her to calm down. "I can't calm down! My dad is in the hospital and you won't let me see him!"

"If you were to go to the hospital right now... all you would do is sit in the waiting room for... hours." He said, walking up and stopping her.

"I want to be there when he wakes up!"

"You don't want to just sit in a crappy hospital for days..." He whispered.

"A crappy hospital?"

"No that's not what I meant... it's a great hospital just not very fun to hang around in..." He chuckled, "Trust me... I work there." He smiled and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"I'm just... he's going to be really scared when he wakes up and he doesn't see anyone he recognizes!"

"He won't recognize you."

"What?"

"Shit... we didn't... tell you... did we?"

"Tell me what? Why wouldn't he recognize me?"

Gabe looked to Ria - begging for help. She stood up and slowly walked over, "You should sit down."

Emily stared at them with her big brown eyes and sighed, "Is it that bad?"

"Umm... he has serious head trauma and will have permanent memory loss." Ria whispered.

"What? No."

"Yes Emily... he will not know who any of us are." Gabe said, cutting in.

"That's not possible! NO! That isn't happening!" She yelled madly.

"Just be thankful that he is alive."

"But he won't know any of us! He won't really be alive... He will have to grow up all over again! What if he doesn't know how to drive? What if he doesn't know the science? What if he doesn't remember grandma?" Emily asked frantically.

"We will handle that when it comes." She said, unsure of how to handle it. She needed Gillian here... she would know what to do.

.:.

Ben sat in the waiting room, ignoring the constant people who insisted that he went home and got some rest.

Whenever a doctor walked in he would immeditaly run up to him, "How is he? Is he awake?"

But the answers were always the same : "It's too soon to say. We will tell you when he wakes up. You should go home sir. He will not wake up in a while - if he ever does."

But Ben would always go back to his seat and study Gillian's peaceful body.

.:.

"I'm going to the hospital." Emily finally decided, searching for her keys.

"No your not." Gabe said, gently taking her arm. "Listen... there is nothing you can do! We will go thee the second there is a sign of him waking up." He promised.

"I want to go right now. I want to see him."

Gabe sighed and looked at Ria.

"You can't stop me... no matter what you say - aha!" She said once she found the car keys, "You are welcome to join me." She said, walking outside.

.:.

"Why the hell is Emily here?" Ben asked Gabe madly.

"Uh... sorry sir... we - we couldn't stop her... she just left and... sorry." He whispered.

Ben shook his head and walked over to Emily, "Listen Em... you shouldn't be here."

"Mom is coming." She told him.

"What? We don't need to crowd the waiting room."

"Well I have a right to be here. Why are you here?"

Ben ignored her question and asked her one, "When will you mother be here?"

"I dunno... any time now. Why didn't anyone tell her what happened? She cares about him too you know!"

He sighed and took her arm, "Just go sit down." He mumbled.

.:.

"Why didn't you tell me? Is he okay?" A mad Zoe yelled as she ran into the hospital.

Ben sighed and tried to smile at her, "We don't know yet... sorry we didn't tell you... this is such chaos and it's so confusing... I apologize."

She frowned and walked up to a doctor, "Is Cal Lightman okay?"

"We will tell you everything that we told everyone else. We do not know yet. If he is okay he will have permanent memory loss and that is all we know."

Zoe spun around to face Ben and walked up to him, "Memory loss? Permanent? I think you left something out Ben."

He stared at her and then turned to Ria, "Can you leave? I know you care about Lightman but there is just too many people here."

"Oh of course." She said, grabbing her purse and standing up, "Let me know once you find out something. Anything." She nodded and was soon gone.

A doctor came into the waiting room and looked at Gillian who was just waking up, "You may see your husband now. He just got out of surgery."

Gillian glanced between Emily and Ben and they both nodded, "Can his daughter see him too?"

The doctor thought for a moment and then nodded, "I suppose." She said with a smile.

"Thank you." Gillian said, fixing her hair. She took Emily's hand and walked into the hospital room.

"Dad." Emily gasped, running to the bed. She stared at the white and bloody bandage that was wrapped around his head and sighed.

Gillian slowly walked up to the edge and took Cal's hand, "We are here..." She knew that even if he could here them he would have no clue who they are.

"I'm Emily... and I'm your daughter... I am sixteen and you hate all of my boyfriends." She said, lightly laughing.

Gillian smiled and sat down and watched at Emily continuously talked to her unconscious father.

"So basically... you have this job where you can tell if people are lying just by their facial expressions and you have your own little firm called 'The Lightman Group' and you run it and you work with Ria and Eli and Gillian and sometimes Ben - he is an FBI agent." She whispered, stroking his hand as she spoke, "And you are single... and I am pregnant because... I was... raped at a party..." She said, finding it hard to make the words come out, "You can here me right?Sqeeze my hand if you can." She tightly held his and waited for a response but there was nothing, "I guess you jsut can't move... you must be exhausted. I know I would be if some guy... hurt me like that."

.:.

Zoe paced nervously and looked at Ben, "Why did Gillian get to go in there?"

"Because she cares about him!" Gabe yelled, immediately regretting it.

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry..." He whispered, quickly finding his seat next to Ben again.

"You better be sorry. You don't think that I care about him."

"She loves him!"

"And I don't?"

"You divorced him!"

"What makes you think you can just waltz in here and tell me I don't love that man?"

Gabe stared at her and suddenly became confident, "You don't deserve to see him. You are lucky Emily told you!"

"You'll be lucky if I don't make Emily break up with you!"

"She's too happy with me... and she can't always be with you! And she needs somebody to help her with the pregnancy and we all know that you aren't fit for that job!"

"Why?"

"Because you're a jerk!" Gabe yelled at her.

"Why is that?"

"You don't care about Dr. Lightman!"

"Yes I do!"

"You just want to get into his pants! If you had really cared you wouldn't have left him!"

"Cut it out Gabe." Ben said shoving him down into a chair.

Gabe stared at Zoe and then slouched down into the chair, "I don't know why he still loves you."

"What was that?"

"You heard."

"What would make you say that?"

"The way he looks at you... he obviously misses you."

She stared at him and walked over, "Really?"

Gabe nodded and then ran a hand through his hair, "I'm sorry."

Some part of Ben seemed to be telling Gabe to NOT be sorry... but he knew exactly where he was coming from.

.:.

"You have to leave now." A doctor said after about an hour of Emily's constant talking.

"Oh... okay..." Emily said, standing up. "Bye dad." She smiled and kissed his cheek, "I'll tell you more tomorrow."

Gillian smiled and walked up to him. She lightly traced his lips with his finger and sighed, "Wake up soon." She gave him a small kiss on the lips, wishing that it wasn't so empty and that he would kiss her back, "I love you." She rubbed his arm and then left.
