Life in a coma.

I was aware of everything around me the moment I woke up but my body would not move. I could hear the beeps of machines but the more I tried to move and open my eyes I realized something was wrong.

"Skyler, I have to leave for work. I'll be back soon. I love you"

It was Jewels voice 'Don't go please help me'

I tried to figure out what happen. Bates was torturing me for information on Beth. I remember that. Did she rescue me? Where is she?

I could hear people come in and out all day but did not recognize any voices. Then there came one that I did.

"Hey, how are you feeling today? I got you some more flowers. I aslo have Julie's dinner. I'll leave it here for her. She has been great these last few months staying by you side. She is a keeper. Tim asks about you and is sorry we did not get to you faster but this will be something I still regret. You should see me I am a rolly polly right now. Yesterday the Doctor said the twins are healthy boy's. Alex is still upset at having three boys soon. AJ keeps saying he needs to stay way from me and his brothers will make sure... Come back to us Sky, I need you."

I could feel her lips kiss my check. 'I'm here Beth, I'm here." But she can't hear me.

I can tell I am breathing on my own, so that is good. But I must have a tube in my nose feeding me. How bad am I?

I hear a familiar foot steps, It's my Jewels. I feel lips on my lips. I wish I could taste them.

"Hello my love, today was a killer. We are almost done with the winter catalogue. I will be glad when it's over."

'Do not over work darling'

"Oh, You should of told me Beth was by. She brought me a sub and pickle chips. She is the best."

'I like you talking regular to me darling. Keep talking.'

"I need your help later in the game. I finally reached level 12. It's harder then you make it to be."

'Game, What game?'

"I am so glad it's friday night and I can stay the weekend with you. I miss you to much while I am at work."

'I miss you too'

"Ok, I'm done eating so lets get you exercise done."

I can feel her hand grab my legs and move them counting each rep. Then she did my arms. I then felt warm water washing my body, all of my body.

"Nurse, I'm done cleaning him up and am ready to change his sheets. Can we set in the chair for awhile."

I feel my body being lifted into a chair and my head being supported by something soft.

"Thanks I'll call when I ready to lay him back down. Now Love, time to help me let me log in. JewelintheSky, Oh a message from Beth... "

[Prettybunnie: Hope you enjoyed the sub.]

[Jewelinthesky:I did very much. Thank you]

"Ok ready dear. I have a quest for a dragon egg to complete but not sure were to go."

'She playing my game. Go hire a guide to the forgotten mountain.'

"Should I get a guide? Ok guides are in this tavern, These guys want a lot. oh, here's one I can afford. He says to go the forgotten mountain Is that right."

'Yes my dear that right'

"Oh, I found some chest. I got a golden robe, should I put it on?"

'Not sure, what are you wearing now?'

"I have on the ruby robe. It has better protection for dragon fire?"

'Leave the ruby on dear. You won't need the gold one you can sell it.'

"I think you would tell me to keep the ruby one and sell the gold right?"

'That's my girl.'

I listen to her explain the game as she plays. I get a kick out of her excitement. I just wish I could really help her. I get sleepy and drift off. The next thing I feel a warm body laying next to me with arms wrapped around me and the scent of Julie's shampoo .She is next to me in bed with her head on my shoulder. I must of passed out and they put me back in bed.

"Night my love sweet dream"

'Night my darling thank you for staying.'

I drift back off the sleep dreaming of my Jewel.

◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇

It seems we play the same game each day in and out. I want so much to communicate that I am awake and here but I can't do anything but Think. Julie is by my side always. I have other visitors and I am getting good at guessing who is here before I hear their voice.

One day I see a bright light in front of me.

'No, I'm not ready to dye'

But then I see color and lines the I hear Jewels scream

"Call the Doctor he's opening his eyes"

I can't make out what I'm seeing but I am seeing.

"Skyler can you blink once for yes and twice for no?"

'yes' Blink

"can you see clear?"

'no' Blink blink

"Are you in any pain?"

'no' Blink Blink

"Do you know how you got here?"

'yes' Blink 'no' Blink Blink

"I am going to touch your feet and blink when you feel it"

I blinked each time I felt him touch me.

"He has feeling in his limbs which is good. We will need to work with him on his motor skills and speech but he has come out of the coma; now the real work begins. I am going to send a few specialist up to see him before making other plans."

"Thank you Doctor"

Then I feel her arm around me and she is kissing me. This time I can taste her sweetness. I never want this to end.

Over the few days my sight comes back and I get movement in my arms and legs. My voice is only sounds but they say that normal. I will work hard for my darling so I can begin a life with her she deserves.
