Sorry for the delay, school is hectic but here is the next chapter! thank you all for bearing with me

Santana's pov

3 hours and she still hasn't woken up. We arrived in New York 7 hours ago and the doctors decided it was time to wake her from the medically induced coma. So they did there thing and ran some more tests and I was told to wait. More fucking waiting. I was getting sick and tired of the waiting. The first hour went by fast, hoping she would open her incredible brown eyes and smile at me knowing I never left her side. The second hour I began to pace around the room till a nurse told me it could take hours for all the sedatives to be out of her system and that I should go take a nap and get some food in my system. Now it has been 3 hours and I'm getting tired, I knew Dani would be upset that I wasn't taking care of myself through all of this. So I settled myself in and dozed off.

6 hours later...

"Miss wake up" I could feel someone shaking me awake. I wasn't sure how long I had been alseep for but it must have been a while since I felt pretty rested. I opened my eyes to see a nurse in green scrubs staring at me. "we have some unfortunate news about Dani." My eyes shot open.

"Is she okay? Can I see her? Where is she?" I was panicking now, thinking of all the worst possible scenarios. They must have moved her since Dani was no longer in the room.

"Shes alive but you should discuss this with the doctor." She pointed to the woman standing in the hallway wear a white coat. I jumped out of the makeshift bed and ran to the doctor.

"Where is she? I want to know now!" I was getting angry now. The doctor put her hand on my shoulder.

"Santana right? Follow me." she walked quite fast to the elevators and we went down a few floors and into a large office. "Please, sit down." I didn't sit, I was too anxious and pacing is all I could do right now. "Pacing and worrying won't help, just sit a breathe." I sat down, the green fabric chair was quite comfortable, compared to what I've been sitting on in those rooms. "There is no easy way of putting this so here it goes, Dani went into a coma about 2 hours ago." The doctor just looked me in the eyes, she gave me a look filled with compassion and empathy. "This is hard to grasp I-" I stopped her from finishing her bullshit story.

"No you don't know!" I yelled at the doctor. "You guys just brought her out of one, do it again! You all said she would be fine and awake soon!" tears started to fall down my cheeks. "How could you let this happen?" it was almost a whisper, I was surprised the doctor heard what I said.

"This can happen, it's not uncommon but we also can't predict these things either. All you need to do is stay strong and do not give up. She needs her loved ones more now than before. Now that the hard part is out of the way, would you like to see her?" What kind of fucking question was that, of course I did.

"Please" was all I could muster up before I was led to Dani's bedside.

I took one look at her and broke down. We had it all planned. She was going to finish her tour, we were going to get married and then have a family. But then this happened and now I was beginning to lose faith. The look that was spread across her face was empty, she just laid there. Her face was emotionless. It's been so long since I've seen her radiant smile, I was starting to forget what it looked like. "Hi baby, it's me. If you can hear me I just want to say that I love you. I will always love you. Please come back to me. I need you" Tears started to fall from my eyes again. "Okay San. She's in good hands, you know that just stay strong. You can do that, if not for yourself, for Dani." I said to myself in a hushed tone.

I called Rachel and Kurt and asked them to come and stay with me for a while. Of course they were more than happy to and twenty minutes later showed up with Chinese food and magazines.

"Santana, I know you don't want to leave her side in case of anything but I really think you should go home for a night. It might help, you never know. Maybe grab her a pillow from your bed, anything could help right now." Rachel said while rubbing my back. I had my head in my hands and my hair draped around my face.

"You're right Rach. Can you stay with her then. I don't like the idea of her being alone." I asked her and she nodded giving me a hug.

After a few more hours of sitting by her bed I decided it was time to go to our home and clean up. Maybe sleeping in my own bed would improve my mood. I grabbed my coat and purse and left the hospital. The place was seriously beginning to depress me.

I pulled up to our house and just sat in the car for a few minutes. All the memories we had from this place came flooding back almost instantly and it only made me more miserable. I placed my forehead on the steering wheel and took a few deep breaths before pulling the keys out of the ignition and opening the door. In the back of my mind, I knew exactly how hard this was going to be. It seemed to take me ages to get to the front door where my hands began to tremble when I unlocked the door. Coming home has never been this hard. The place was cold and empty. I turned the hall light on and put my car keys on the hook. On the table below was a picture of Dani and I the night of our engagement. I looked at the ring she gave me, it was beautiful.

I climbed the stairs to our bedroom which was still covered in clothes from the night we left. I threw my coat on the floor along with my purse and laid on her side of the bed. The sheets still smelled of her. How long would it be till I could do that again? Weeks? Months? Years? How would I handle that? Would I be able to work again? I decided that tomorrow I would tackle the work situation. Maybe it would help distract me. I rolled myself up in the comforter and slowly fell asleep to thoughts of what it was like to have Dani in my arms.
