Chris eventually fell into an uneasy sleep, holding Bella's hand.

A few weeks later, the doctors were still confused as to why Bella hadn't woken up yet. Her vital signs were normal, and she was completely responsive but she hadn't opened her eyes or moved. Chris had been visiting every day and the nurses around there knew him now. Haley smiled at Chris as he walked into the hospital. "Hey you.. she's looking good today.. maybe it's the day?"

Chris had brought fresh roses and smiled at Haley, always enjoying her optimism. "She always looks good. But, thanks.. I hope so." He walked into Bella's room and smiled slightly as he walked over to her bed, putting the roses in a vase that was there. "Hey, Bella.." He sat down next to her and took her hand. "Haley says you look good today." He watched her for a second or two, looking for any signs of response.

Haley watched him from the nurse's desk, sighing slightly. Bella didn't seem responsive and no one was sure when she would wake up.
Bella's hand moved slightly.

Chris felt her hand move, glancing down at it. No matter how many times the doctors told him such small movements were normal and just twitches or reflexes, he always hoped it would turn out to be more. He studied Bella's face for a moment, waiting to see if anything else happened, before continuing. "You always look good." He told her with a small smile, glancing down again. His eyes drifted back to her hand as he felt into a hopeful silence.

Bella smiled ever so slightly as she heard a voice. She may not have recognized it, but she was starting to become responsive and just wanted to go back home.

Chris looked up to catch her smile and stared at her in awe. He slowly stood up, leaning closer to her. "Bella?" He squeezed her hand a little.

Bella, though she still wasn't sure who it was, squeezed his hand back ever so slightly.

Chris couldn't believe it. He glanced over his shoulder and then looked back to her with a smile. "I'll be right back." He reluctantly let go of her hand and left, glancing back at her. "Haley!" She was the first person he saw, and he walked over to her. "I need a doctor! Bella needs a doctor." He corrected himself as he looked at her. "I.. I think she might be waking up.." He explained, in shock.

Haley put down the chart she was looking at and looked at Chris in shock. She was hoping this wasn't a false alarm and she nodded, getting up from her chair. "I'll go get someone" She smiled at him as she walked past, "I told you it was going to be a good day" A doctor came into Bella's room quickly with Haley to check some machines and all that medical junk

Chris smiled back at Haley, realizing this might be it. She might finally be waking up. He crossed his arms as he nervously watched the doctor. "Is she waking up?"

Haley smiles at him with hope, "We sure hope so." The doctor told Haley to keep an eye on Bella and that he would be back soon. He walked out and Haley looks at Chris. "Now we just have to wait.."

Chris looked back to Bella, not sure what to think without a straight answer, but he wouldn't give up hope. He sat back down next to her and took her hand again, looking at her engagement ring.

Haley watched them for a little while, then gave them their privacy and walked out of the room. Bella squeezed Chris' hand again.

Chris looked from her hand to her face. "Open your eyes, Bella.. please.."

Bella blinked a few times then shut her eyes again, the lights were too bright

Chris stood up out of shock, still holding her hand. He looked down at her, watching hopefully. "Can you talk? If you can't, just squeeze my hand again.."

Bella was very confused. She didn't know where she was, or why the lights were so bright. She didn't know who was holding her hand, but she groaned slightly in response to his question.

Chris realized that when she tried to open her eyes, she looked like she was in pain. He glanced around, noticing the lights, and then turned them off. "Try opening your eyes again.." He told her quietly, cupping her hand between both of his.

Haley leaned over the counter to watch them as the lights turned off. Bella opened her eyes and looked at him, at first he was all out of focus then she blinked a few more times to see his face. She moved back slightly, not sure of who this strange guy was.
