Chris watched how she walked in, she looked happier then he'd seen her in the last year. He frowned, sure they had amazing, mind blowing sex. That wasn't why she was so happy, was it?

Spike did his best not to look at her, a little ashamed of what he told her yesterday. When he did look up at her, he noticed her smile made her eyes sparkle.

"I've got news." She told them excited.

Ed looked up. "Judging by the.. jump in your step, it's good news."

Zoë nodded furiously.

"Are you going to make us guess?"

"Oh, right sorry.." She smiled. "When I went to the hospital this morning.."

"Are you still going every day.. Zoë.." Ed started, resulting at the intercom on the table flying at his head. He caught it and put it back on the table.

"The nurse told me Greg woke up."

A silence fell over the room.

"I walked to his room, and he was sitting up, smiling at me."

Everyone started talking at once, asking her questions.

"Does he have brain damage?"

"Can he talk?"

"Did he remember you?"

"Does he have memory loss?"

She glanced over at Spike and noticed he didn't look as happy as the rest of them. 'Poor guy,' she thought. 'The day after he declares he loves me, my husband wakes up'. She made eyecontact with him and smiled gently. Before turning back to the room. "Yes, he talks. Yes, he remembers. No, as far as I can tell he doesn't have brain damage. He does, however, have deteriorated muscles."

Chris looked up, concerned. "He can't move?"

"He can, just not much. He will have to do a lot of PT but that should solve it."

"So, in the long haul, there shouldn't be any big problems?"

Zoë shook her head happily. "Now, I understand that you want to see him." They all nodded. "However.. I would ask you all, very kindly, to start with that tomorrow. I would like to have him to myself today, I'm going to pick up Allison because he wants to meet his daughter."

"Of course." Donna said, looking over the group daring anyone to object. "We've waited 380 days, we can wait one more."

"Thank you." She smiled at them. "Also, please visit him in pairs and only during visiting hours. Work out some kind of schedule. Because his nurse told me that he has to rest."

They all nodded. "Whatever they say."

"Thank you." She grabbed her keys of the table. "Now, I'm going to leave you to your day." She grabbed her phone. "Have a good day guys."

"You too Zoë!" They all yelled after her as she walked away.

…

"Hey Soph," Zoë smiled as she walked inside the house.

"Mommy!" Brandon screamed, running towards her. "Up!"

She lifted him in her arms. "Hey buddy. Did you listen to Mrs Lane?" Brandon nodded. He hugged her tight for a second. "What did you do?"

"I played with lightning."

Zoë smiled. "Wow, you played with lightning?"

Brandon nodded. "And with Ally."

"Were you nice to your sister?" She walked into the living-room. Allison was holding herself up with a little help of the table.

"Of course mommy."

"Good." She put him back down and grabbed Allison as she crawled towards her. "Hey baby girl." She smiled at Sophie on the couch. "Were they good?"

"Yeah, always." She raised her eyebrows. "So how was last night?"

Zoë put Allison back down. "Brandon, play some more with your sister?" She looked at Sophie. "Soph, kitchen?"

Sophie nodded and got up. "So?" She asked once they were in the kitchen. Zoë was keeping an eye on her kids.

"It was uuh.. yeah.. I slept with a guy."

"Good." Sophie smiled. "It's been a while, Zo. It's good to move on."

"Greg woke up."

Sophie looked dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"

"Yep, I went to see him this morning and he was awake."

"That's great!'

"I cheated, soph.. that's not great."

Sophie shook her head. "You didn't.. I'm sure he wouldn't see it like that."

"He doesn't, I told him. He said it was fine.."

"So, Brandon's gonna be happy huh?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna wait a couple of days to tell him."

"Why?"

"The guys are gonna visit him tomorrow. I'm gonna take Allison to see him, going to drop Brandon of at day-care."

"Why?"

"Greg doesn't need that much excitement. Brandon has finally stopped asking about him, a few days won't hurt. Besides, he has a little trouble moving. It would only freak Brandon out."

Sophie sighed. "Brain damage?"

"No! no.. deteriorated muscles. Over a year of PT and he should be good as new."

"Good. You can leave Brandon here if you want."

"No work?"

Sophie shrugged. "Nope, I was gonna make cookies. He can help."

"Big mess."

"Oh, I know."

She hugged Sophie. "You're the best."

"So, what did Spike say?"

"About what?"

"This whole situation, you share everything with him these days.."

"He uuh.. we didn't talk. I was kinda in a hurry. Oh shit, I have to call Jules. Tell her." Right then her phone started ringing 'Jules'. "Guess Sam gave her a call. You mind?" Sophie shook her head.

"I'll make sure they're alright." She said before walking back to the couch.

"Hey Jules."

"Is it true?"

"Yeah, Greg's awake."

"I want to visit him, Sam said tomorrow.."

"Jules.."

"Please? Even if you kick me out after five minutes, I just want to make sure.. for myself.."

Zoë rolled her eyes. "Right, because I would mistakenly think he's awake and talking to me."

"Please?"

"Okay, you know what, bring Sadie. Allison can play with her while you talk to Greg for five minutes."

"Great, thanks. Can you swing by to pick me up? Sam has the car."

Zoë chuckled. "Sure. Be there in 10."

…

"Daddy?" Allison asked in the car.

"We'll be there in a second honey."

"Sleep?"

"No, daddy's not asleep anymore. But like I told you, his arms and legs are still a little tired."

Jules smiled at Zoë. "So, this is going to turn your life upside down again.."

"Yep, only in a good way this time.."

"It's gonna be hard, Zo.. You're going to have two kids of your own, Julie and Greg to take care of."

"Greg can take care of himself mostly when they let him go." She glanced at Jules. "They're going to keep him until he can walk and stuff. So a month or so. He's not going to run a marathon, but he'll be able to get himself out of bed, into the kitchen, make himself food.."

"Shower?"

"No, going to have to help with that.."

"He's proud.."

"Falling and hitting his head isn't really an option.." She parked the car in the visitors area.

…

"Zo." He smiled happily as she walked in, Allison in her arms.

"Hey, Jules insisted on coming.. I told her she could stay for a couple of minutes."

Greg shook his head and smiled at Jules. "Stay longer, it's fine." He then looked back to the little girl in Zoë's arms. "It's really been a year.."

Zoë nodded and sat on the edge of his bed, Allison on her lap.

"Daddy wake."

Greg smiled at her. "Yeah, I'm awake now. Did you come see me when I was asleep?" Allison nodded.

"I brought them to visit you every month, still have the pictures at home.. I couldn't let Brandon forget you.." He saw a tear make its way down over her cheek.

"No cry." Allison said, hugging Zoë.

"They're happy tears." She kissed the top of Allison's head.

Greg smiled at her before turning to Allison. "So what did you do today?"

"Play."

"With Brandon?" Allison nodded.
