It has been 2 weeks since the accident and Dylan is still in a coma and on breathing support. Sacha came in to the side bay to talk to Sam.

"Hi Sam, I came to talk about the next stage for Dylan" He smiled

"Ok" Sam tucked a piece of hair behind her ear

"Later on we are going to take him off his breathing support to see if he can breathe for himself and if that goes well, there is no reason why we can wake him up" Sacha explained

"Oh good!" Sam let go a deep breath that she didn't know she was holding, "it's weird. For years all I have wanted was for him to be quiet. Now I can't hear him and all I want is his voice, dull as it is, to fill the room" Sam said

"I understand. Me, Mr Copeland and Nurse Chiltern will be in later to wake him up." Sacha said

"Three of you?" Sam was confused

"Yeah, me and Mr Copeland are Dylan's doctors anyway but Lofty has been worried and insisted on joining us. He used to work in the ed and was quite fond of Dylan." Sacha's pager went, "got to go!"

Sam looked over to Dylan, "you seemed to be loved even upstairs! I don't know what I was thinking, leaving you to go to the army"

The only answer Sam got was the repetitive bleep and noises coming from the machines. Dylan was motionless, only his chest moving up and down where the machines were helping him breathe. Tubes, wires and monitors surrounded him and his wrists both had needles prodded into them.

Dom, Sacha and Lofty walked into the side bay.

"Are you ready?" Dom asked

"Yeah" Sam nodded

Lofty switched off the breathing machine and Dylan kept breathing.

"Yes Dylan!" Sam muttered to herself

"Do you think we should wake him up?" Sacha turned to Dom

"Yeah, why not" Dom looked over to Lofty who gave Dylan the injection to wake him up

It wasn't long until Dylan's eyes fluttered and he woke up. He turned his head as much as he could in the neck brace to look at Sam. As soon as his eyes met hers he smiled and turned back. Lofty went up to the side of the bed.

"Hello Dylan" He smiled

"Hello" Dylan murmured dryly

Sacha and Dom looked at each other and smiled, Sam knew he was out of danger now.
