When my mind finally clears, what seems like ages later, I find I can't move. I'm still stuck in the prison of my body. 

"She's up, her heart rate just went up!" Blake exclaims. 

"I can't believe my baby slept for two months!" I hear Mom stutter, between sobs. 

God, time is flying when you are in a coma. Sometimes I wish I could meet Grandma Natalie, but I wouldn't want to leave my family and friends alone. 

There's a click, my learning machine, and suddenly I see, my family, Blake, Shailene, Jen, my cousins and aunts and uncles, everyone. They are all being projected into my mind. 

"Hi baby girl! We made a video for you when you wake up. We are all hoping you pull through, as soon as possible. Everyone loves you and misses your crazy personality!" Mom says, her voice cracking.

She walks off, and Dad starts talking, "Hello, my princess. We are all missing you. I just want you to come back to us soon. I love you, my little Natalie Rose. Bye princess." 

He walks off, to where I guess Mom is now. It's comforting, knowing how much they still think about me. 

"Sissy! I walk! I wub oo! Bye bye!" She waddles off, her steps still wobbly. 

Those girls are growing up way too fast. 

"I wub oo too Naty! I walk! Bye bye!" Eliza waves, giggling. 

Mom quickly runs into vision and grabs her. Jennifer and Shailene walk onto the screen. They've been my closer friends, before I turned thirteen. I hung out with them more than any of my cousins. 

"Hey girl! We all really miss you at school. Just so you know, we have maybe, just maybe been using you as a human doll to practice hair, makeup and design. Don't blame us! See ya soon bestie!" Shai finishes, and walks off. 

"Hey Nat. Can you just, get up soon, and then we can go back to old times? I-" She pauses to swallow back a cry, "We just really miss you, Bye Naty!" Jen smiles, then walks off. 

Now, the only person left is Blake, who might be the person who's been most concerned about me. 

"Hey babe. We all really miss you. I've tried, just going out with other girls, but it's not working. I just can't feel the same. There is nobody like you, we dated for seven months, but, I really like you, Natalie Rose. You're my first love. I can't wait for you to get up, so I can see your gorgeous sky-blue eyes, your perfect face, your sparkling smile. I miss you so much. I love you Natalie. See you soon." He finishes, and my mind disperses back into black. 

I feel a single tear slip down my cheek, and hear gasps. 

"I know she will wake up, she's fighting." Dad says.

Tobias POV

Natalie has been giving hints that she will wake up. I hope she knows how much everyone needs her. By now, the twins can understand that their sister isn't waking up. They are disappointed. 

I sincerely hope that Tris doesn't figure out how much this situation has weakened me. I am her rock, and if I am to crumble, all of us go down. 

"Tobias! Come help your wife!" Tris shouts. 

I sigh, running downstairs. Eliza looks like she just threw up, so I immediately run over. Tris seems traumatized. By the looks of it, Ashlen got sick too. 

"Dada!" Eliza wails, throwing out her arms. 

I rush to her, pulling Eliza's small body into my arms. We go to another room to get cleaned up. She is crying, so I hand her KarKar the bunny. 

She stifles her sniffles, allowing me to change her raunchy diaper and throw-up covered clothing. The poor girls must be feeling awful. With careful time, I change her into a pink onesie, with a matching tutu. 

We go downstairs and I get her some fever medication. It goes into the lid container, and I attempt to get her to drink it, but she knocks it from my hand, to the floor. 

"Look, Daddy like it!" I coo, grabbing a small strain spoon, letting the medicine come out of the bottom, and sticking the spoon in my mouth. Ashlen giggles and laughs, holding out her hand. 

I pour some more medicine into the spoon, and she gulps it down. Immediately, Ash scrunches up her nose and shakes her head. As a reward, I give her the sippy filled of apple juice. We lay down together in the living room, cartoons playing on the television. 

Ashlen lays against my chest, sucking her thumb. It doesn't take long for her to drift off.
