Dani's pov
I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache, I guess the nurse heard me wake up because she came in almost immediately. "Are you in any pain?" She asked softly.
"My head is pounding." I answered her while grabbing the bottle of water beside my bed. She played with the tubes I was hooked up to and about five minuets later the pain disappeared. The doctor came in the do a few little tests like check my pupils, eyes and reflexes.
"I think you'll be able to go home soon." He said in a cheery voice. He flashed me a smile and I returned one as he walked out of the room.
I noticed the beautiful girl with the loving voice wasn't in the chair anymore. What was her name, come on... shit what was my name... Fuck. I picked up a card that someone left on the table. 'Get better soon Dani' it said with many signatures. I couldn't make any of them out so I grabbed the card out of the flowers. "Come home mi amor, love Santana." Santana. Now that's a sexy name. A guilty feeling came over me. This woman was head over heals for me and I couldn't even remember her name.
I thought back to reading my name on the other card. Dani. I liked it. Must be short for something though. I grabbed the clipboard that was at the end of my hospital bed. Danielle. Eww.. Dani is way better. Just as I was putting it back the tall Latina walked in the door. She was wearing sweats and looked like she hadn't slept in months. Poor thing. But damn she still seemed to looked perfect.
"How you feeling love?" She looked very concerned. I didn't know what I did to get this girl. She hasn't left my side. She makes me feel happy and so loved.
"Better now that you're here. Can you help me get to the bathroom?" I winked at her and she smiled at me. She wrapped her arm around my waist. Her touch sent and electric pulse through my body. My heart was in love with this magnificent woman but my head couldn't remember. Come on brain, you know this girl!
"Good, I've missed you a lot." She said helping me off my bed. She led me to the bathroom and waited outside the door. "I brought some of the photo albums you made, maybe it will help with your memory." I began to wonder what my life was like before my accident. Nothing really came to mind except working at a diner with the woman in the other room. I wonder how long I've known her for.
I finish up and wash my hands. I open the door to find her still waiting there. "Now lets see these pictures, but I'm gonna warn you I might not be able to remember much." She wrapped her arm around my waste and helped me back to my bed. "Thanks for all of you help."
"You're my fiance, it's kinda my job babe." She kissed the top of my head and sat down in the chair beside my bed. I guess I had a shocked look on my face because her smile had disappeared. "I know you don't remember right now but you will. If you want we can just start over?" The sadness in her eyes was killing me. I know she had expectations of us but it was a lot for me to take in.
"Why don't we take it one step at a time. No expectations." I gave her hand a squeeze to reassure her. "It's not that I completely forgot you I just can't remember us and how I met you and who I am in this world." I patted the bed and she sat bedside me putting her head on my shoulder. "I know your voice and your smell, your touch even your laugh. I'm just trying to piece what I do remember together so the holes can be filled in." I placed a kiss on the top of her head and felt her body relax a little. "Why don't we start with the picture albums." She looked up at me with a huge smile on her face and grabbed one from the end of the bed.

Santana's pov
Dani and I spent the remainder of the afternoon looking at old pictures of us. "This was the diner where we first met." The picture was of Dani sitting on the edge of the stage playing her guitar. "You were singing one of the songs you wrote... Two Pieces." A confused look spread across her face. "You don't remember do you?" She shakes her head. "You are an incredibly talented singer and song-writer." I missed her voice and how she hit the notes so perfectly every time.
"You miss it don't you?" She asked in a soft tone.
"Miss what mi amor?" I missed a lot of things but her being alive and awake was all that really mattered.
"My singing. I could tell by the look on your face. I might not have everything pieced together but my heart still knows you. And it's telling me you miss my voice." She knew me too well.
"Yes I do but I can live with out it as long as you're alive. It will come back, I know it. You were born to sing... Just like I was born to love you." I closed the album and Dani leaned her head on my shoulder. "I really missed you Dani, I was a wreak the entire time. I did some things I'm not proud of." I felt a tear fall down my cheek. Dani lifted her head to look at me.
"Oh San, please don't cry. I know it was hard and I am so thankful I had you beside me through all of this. I didn't forget you, I know you. How sassy you are but so protective of the ones you love. How proud you are of yourself. You are amazing and I can't wait to go home with you and marry you and have a family..." I cut her off.
"You still want to marry me?" She gave me a confused look.
"Well yes I do, I didn't completely forget that I am deeply in love with you. I love you, I know that." She kissed me and I could feel her love and passion wash over me.
"I love you too Dan, with all of my heart and soul." I kissed her forehead.
