Two weeks had passed. It was around nine in the morning. The nurses at the hospital saw that Hayden's monitor was flat lining. The doctor and nurses rushed in to see Hayden awake pulling at the tubes and IV. Hayden was very confused and scared.
"Hayden." The doctor said. "Hayden, it's alright." "You're in the hospital." "Do you understand?" She nodded her head. She tried to talk but nothing would come out.
Twenty minutes had passed. Jeff had just made Rebekah a bottle. His cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" He said. "What?!" "Really?! "I'll be right there." He hung up. "Yes!" He went into the living room with Rebekah's bottle. He picked her up. "Rebekah mommy's awake." "Daddy's gonna leave you with the babysitter and go check on mommy." "Once I know she's ok I promise to come get you."
Jeff went down to the hospital. He knew the family couldn't get there for awhile because they were on an overseas WWE tour in Europe. The doctor met Jeff outside of Hayden's room.
"Hello Jeff." She said.
"Hi."
"I just wanted to talk to you about Hayden's condition." "Waking up from a comatose state is not like waking up from sleeping." "Certain parts of her brain need to turn themselves back on." "For instance she can't speak right now."
"Will she recover?"
"In time, yes." "On the positive side she knows who she is." "She asked about her baby." "She's using a dry erase board to communicate." "Let's see if she recognizes you." They both went inside. "Hayden do you know who this is?"
Hayden smiled and wrote. Hi Jeff.
"Hi Hayden."
"I'll leave you two alone." The doctor said. She left.
Jeff went up to Hayden's bed. They hugged.
"I'm so glad you're finally awake." Jeff said.
Has it really been six months? Hayden wrote.
"Yes."
Is Rebekah ok?
"She's fine." "It was touch and go for awhile because she was premature but she's fine now." "We've been staying at your house."
I wanna see her.
"I'll go get her."
A half hour later Jeff came in pushing a stroller. He was getting Rebekah out of the stroller.
"Ready to meet mommy?" Jeff said. He picked her up. As soon as Rebekah saw Hayden it was like she knew who Hayden was. Rebekah smiled at her.
"Ga." Rebekah said.
"Yep, that's mommy." "Say hi." Jeff handed her to her.
Rebekah immediately snuggled up to Hayden's chest. Hayden cried tears of joy. Hayden held Rebekah with one arm and wrote with other.
She's beautiful. Hayden wrote.
"Just like her mommy."
