It had nearly been two weeks since what happened at the Helicarrier battel and two weeks since Steve had gone into a coma. Fury had security stationed at the hospital while Rey stayed with Steve. Since only two people were allowed after visiting hours they were alternating between Sam and Natasha since Rey refused to leave Steve's side.

The two told her many times to go home and take rest as she too had been injured in a battle and lost a lot of blood. Rey being Rey refused saying 'I want to be there for him when he wakes.' The two knew that she knew that they knew that Rey was Steve's daughter and that she wanted to be the one to tell him so. Not a file of HYDRA's or Fury or anyone else. Her. 

Since Rey refused to leave the hospital Jay would come visit every day to just be there for Rey and would leave after the visiting hours were over. Gwen could not do that since she had school but she had visited at the weekend bringing Steve a lot of flowers and 'get well soon' cards from her friends at school.

Rey barely ate or stayed hydrated since she didn't leave Steve's private ward. Jay, Sam and Natasha would bring her food but she ate only a little to make them feel better. The truth was she did not want to eat, how could she when her father could not and was lying lifelessly? She was currently sleeping soundly on the couch in the ward hugging Captain Teddy as soft lyrics of Marvin Gaye's 'Trouble Man' from her 'Sleepy Night Night 😴💤' playlist played on her phone. Her head was on Jay's lap as he caressed her hair softly. Sam sat on a chair next to Steve's bed reading a magazine.

Steve felt his eyes getting lighter as stirred and he slowly opened his eyes he turned to his right and saw Sam sitting there reading. "On your left." Steve said wearily. Sam and Jay looked at him and Sam smirked before speaking.

"You're one lucky son of a bitch." he said.

"How long have I been out?" Steve asked.

"'bout two weeks." Sam said. Steve sighed looking away and saw Rey on the couch sleeping soundly as Jay gently lifted her head off his lap, careful not to wake her since she had barely slept in the past two weeks. He supported her head with a cushion and got up.

"I'll tell the doctor he's awake." Jay told Sam who nodded before the teen left giving Steve a nod.

Sam smiled as he watched Steve looking at Rey "She's not left the ward since she bought you in."

"She bought me in?" Steve asked.

"Shocking right? I guess you were light for her." Sam said. Steve looked back at Rey. "Kid's barely eaten." he said looking at Rey. Steve frowned feeling guilty for being the reason Rey starved herself. "She wanted to talk to you as soon as you woke up." Sam got up from his seat and dropped the magazine on the coffee table before shaking Rey gently. He did not want to wake her but he knew what Rey wanted to talk about was important. "Hey, Kid." Sam said and Rey stirred "Rey, wake up." Rey shot up with a scared look.
