Four months had passed. Rebekah had been home for two. She still had to have monthly doctor's appointments but other then that she was doing fine. Stephanie had given Jeff the spare key to Hayden's house. He'd been staying there with Rebekah. He was dressing Rebekah for the day.
"Daddy's gonna go see mommy at the hospital." He said. "Aunt Stephanie's gonna come over and watch you."
"Ga." Rebekah said.
"I know." "You guys are gonna have a lot of fun." The doorbell rang. "She's here." He picked Rebekah up and went downstairs. He answered the door. "Hey Steph." "Come on in." She went in.
"There's my favorite little niece."
"Do I have to be back at any certain time?"
"No." "I have the girls covered." "Stay gone as long as you want."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
He kissed Rebekah on the cheek. "I love you." "I'll be back." He left.
It had now been six months since Hayden was in a coma. Jeff walked into her hospital room and sat down next to her bed.
"Hi." He said. "Hayden I don't know if you can hear me but if you can, you have to fight this." "You have a beautiful girl at home waiting to meet her mommy." "She has your pretty blue eyes." "She needs you." "I need you." "Even if we never get back together I just need you to wake up." "Fight it." "Please don't let it take you away."
Jeff came home at around eight o'clock that night. He could smell something cooking. He went into the kitchen.
"Hey Jeff." Stephanie said.
"Hey." "What's cooking?"
"A frozen lasagna."
"I didn't know there was a frozen lasagna in the fridge."
"There wasn't." "The only things in there were soda and baby formula."
"I've been living off the hospital vending machine for the last six months."
"It'll be ready in about five minutes."
Jeff was sitting down eating. Stephanie was still in the kitchen.
"Did the doctor say anything today?" Stephanie asked.
"No." "I hope she wakes up soon." "I would love for her to walk through that door right now." "I don't even care that she wants nothing to do with me." "I just want her to be well."
"Jeff, Hayden loves you." "I know that for a fact."
Back at the hospital Hayden opened her eyes. She tried to say Jeff's name but nothing came out. Then her eyes closed again.
I have some ideas for some Jeff Hardy stories. I'd like to hear yours to.
