My Life As A Dad [COMPLETED]

Chapter Fifteen

"Oh my god!" I screamed and pressed the red button on Wendy's bed remote.

Nurses and doctors came running in.

"She's waking up! Mr.Barakat, I need you guys to keep talking to her or something, it's helping." Her doctor said.

"Uhh. Somewhere In Neverland!" Rian blurted out.

"You genius potato!" I said and Alex started playing.

Say goodbye to the halls and the classes
Say hello to a job and the taxes
The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine
Tell me how you feel over and done with
Like your life is a map with no compass to guide,
At the bar drinkin’ way too much
We sing along to "Forever Young".

So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I wanna be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality

Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
(Somewhere in Neverland)

We’ll start a life of the plain and the simple
Of great times with far better people
And weekends with our friends
Laughing about the wine that stains their teeth
We’ll talk about how your parents separated and
How you don’t wanna make the same mistakes as them
I’ll say it’s all about stickin’ it out
And trying to feel forever young

So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality

Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland

So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality

Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
(Somewhere in Neverland)

Once we all finished, we turned to Wendy, and she was sitting up. She blinked a couple of times before turning to me.

"Daddy? Where am I? Daddy I'm scared." She said, in an almost babyish voice.

"This is normal, some people come out of a coma with a child like state of mind, it should wear off once she gets home and gets settled." Her doctor said, apparently reading our confused minds.

I looked back at Wendy to see that she was getting teary eyed.

"Hey honey. It's okay, you don't need to be scared. You're daddy's brave little princess, remember?" I asked, walking to her bed.

She nodded, not speaking a word.

"Do you want any water or anything?" I asked.

She nodded.

I pressed the red button on her bed remote and a nurse came in.

"Everything okay?" She asked, in a really sweet tone.

She's actually very pretty.

"Uhh. Could she have some water or something?" I asked.

"Sure, I'll be up with it jn a minute. It's good to see you up Miss Barakat, your family was worried sick about you." The nurse said and smiled.

"They're the bestest family in the world." Wendy said, shyly.

"Try not to talk too much baby, it'll strain your voice and make it sound all funny, like Uncle Alex's." I said, which made Wendy giggle.

A few minutes later the nurse brought one of the large mugs of water with a lid and a straw.

"Thank you." I said, searching for a possible name tag of sorts.

"Rachel." She said.

"Thank you Miss Rachel." Wendy said.

Rachel nodded her head and left the room.

"Daddys got a crush! Daddys got a crush!" She said before coughing.

"Here. Have some of your water." I said and grabbed the mug from her wheelie table.

She took three bug gulps before holding her head, muttering something about a brain freeze.

My girlie is back. And I couldn't be happier.
