Hope you all enjoy the story. Jon looked at Michael, who had a big grin on his face, and said, "Yeah, I think we can do that again, but we need to take it slow. I want you, and me to get used to this. You know what I mean?" "Yeah, I think." Michael said and leaned in for another kiss. The kiss. That kiss filled Jon's mind and heart with so much love. Jon couldn't believe what happened. After that kiss, they decided to go to sleep, only this time they slept while holding each other. Jon awoke by the feeling of someone kissing him. He opened his eyes to find Michael lying on top of him smiling. He also noticed that they both had boners. He could feel Michael's but didn't think Michael could feel his, since Michael's legs were spread apart some and Jon's boner was between them. "Morning." Michael said. "Morning. How'd you sleep?" Jon asked. "Great, I was with you." Michael says, "How about you?" "It was the best night I ever had." Jon says, "I see you are excited about something." "Huh?" Michael asked. "I can feel your buddy down there poking at me." Jon said with a smile. "Oh, sorry." Michael said while looking somewhat embarrassed. He started to get up when Jon stopped him. "Hey, I didn't mean that you had to get up." Jon says, "And there's no reason to get embarrassed, it's natural for boys to get that way." Michael still looked embarrassed so Jon pointed down to his harden penis and said, "See even I got one." Michael looked down at the swollen cock, which has made its way out of Jon's boxers. "Man it's huge." Michael said. "Well it's an average size." Jon said. "Really, will mine get that big?" Michael asked. "I'm sure it will, it might even get bigger." Jon answered. "Really, cool." Michael says, "But why does it get hard like that, and how can I get it to go away." Jon couldn't help but smile and let out a little giggle. "Well, have you noticed that most of the time when it gets hard you are probably thinking or looking at something that you like." Michael nodded. "But there are those times that it just gets that way for no reason." Michael nodded again. "Well your body produces something called hormones, and when they're released, usually because of something you see or think of, it makes your dick hard. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Michael nodded and said, "Yeah I guess. But how do I get it to stop?" "Hehe. Well there are a few ways to get it to go away." Jon says, "You can take a cold shower, try to think of something else but that doesn't work to well, or you can masturbate." "What's masturbate?" Michael asked. "Oh boy." Jon says, "Have you ever played with yourself down there?" Michael nodded. "Well masturbating is just a way of playing with it that makes you feel good and if you do it right, will make it get soft when you're done." He then went on to tell him how when you get older sperm will come out. And then he explained what it was. "Can you.Umm.show me?" Michael asked obviously a little embarrassed. Jon couldn't believe this. First the kiss and now this. It's everything that Jon wanted, but then Jon had a feeling and realized something. He had to take a piss and real bad. He thought to himself, "Great, this would happen now." And he laughed to himself then said to Michael, "How about I show you tonight? Right now I have to take a piss and really bad." That made Michael laugh, which made Jon laugh. And so Jon pushed Michael off of him and ran to the bathroom to relieve himself. The rest of the day went by like normal. They ate, played, ate again, went and got permission for Michael to spend another night, played some more, and ate some more. They were just like two kids, nothing but eating and having fun. But soon it was nighttime and Jon could tell Michael was getting excited, but said nothing about it. "What's wrong Michael?" Jon asked teasingly. "Nothing." Michael said then blushed while saying, "Well I was wondering if you was still going to.Uh.show me how to masturbate?" Jon chuckled some and said, "Well, only if you're sure you want too." Jon tells Michael exactly what it means to masturbate. How you hold it and stroke it. He then asked, "So are you sure you want to do this?" "Yeah." Michael said while nodding and blushing. "OK, then lets go to the bedroom." Jon said. And they went back there, stopping at the bathroom to get some lotion and a rag. "What's that for?" Michael asked. "It's to help with stroking part." Jon said and then proceeded to the bedroom. "Now let's get undressed and lay on the bed." Jon said and started to get undressed. After a few moments Michael got undressed. They laid on the bed side by side. Jon leaned over and gave Michael a few angel kisses that soon became a tongue-o-war. After what seemed like hours, but really only minutes of deep, passionate kissing they separated. "Are you ready?" asked Jon. "Yeah." Michael replied. Jon grabbed the bottle of lotion and squirted some on his fingers. He then reached down and rubbed it on Michael's already hardened penis. "Ooh. That's cold." Michael said. "Sorry, but it'll get warmed up soon enough." Jon said with a chuckle. Jon continued to rub Michael's boyhood up and down. Michael shut his eyes and said, "Oh my god. That feels awesome." "Yeah, I know. But it gets better." Jon said. Jon was stroking Michael with his thumb and two fingers. And then leaned over and started kissing Michael. Michael couldn't believe what he was feeling, there was so much going on. All the emotion, all the weird feelings he was getting. Then Jon started going faster. With out warning, all of Michael's muscles tensed up, we arched his back and let out a long moan. "That was.was.awesome." Michael said between breaths. "I know." Jon says, "I told you it would be. And look," Jon pointed to Michael's limp dick, "it went away." "It did, and it felt so good getting rid of it." Michael said, which made both of them laugh. "Well I'm glad you liked it." Jon said and gave Michael another kiss. "Now it's my turn to do you." Michael said and got the bottle of lotion. "I guess so, but only if you want to." Jon said. Michael leaned over and gave Jon a kiss and grabbed his swollen penis. "I really want to." Michael said. Michael poured some lotion in his hand and held on to Jon's penis. It jumped from the touch and Michael let go. "Did I hurt it?" Michael asked. "No, it feels great." Jon answered with a smile. Michael grabbed it again, wrapping his whole hand around it. He then started to stroke it up and down, trying to copy what Jon had just done to him. Jon started to moan from the incredible feeling he was having. They gave each other angel kisses and then some very passionate kisses. But Jon couldn't hold out much more, he had been waiting for this moment all of his life. "I.I'm about to.to.cum." Jon said. Michael just kept pumping the organ. He felt Jon tense up and the liquid flowing through the penis he was holding. It erupted and sperm went all over Michael and Jon. Jon had to catch his breath before he could talk. "Man, that was the best thing that ever happened to me." Jon says, "I'm sorry about that." And he wiped the sperm off Michael's face with the rag he brought. He tried to wipe up as much as he could, but it was all over them. "I think we need a shower." Jon said. "Yeah, I think you're right." Michael said and gave Jon another kiss. So they went and took a shower. They washed up and kissed some while in there but that was it. When they got out they dried themselves off but didn't put any clothes back on. They talked about what had happened and how unbelievable it felt. Michael asked so many questions. Jon told him that if he wanted to learn more that there are stories online that are about stuff like they do. Michael couldn't believe it. So Jon showed Michael some site's online that had stories, which were related to them. Michael couldn't believe how many there were. He wanted to read as much as he could. But not right now, he was too tired. He did read just about a story a day from that day on. Well Jon's birthday was coming up. It's May 16th, exactly one month after Michael's. After seeing how much Jon liked the painting Christmas, Michael thought he do another one. Only this time he's been working on it for a couple of months here and there. It was going to be his most realistic one yet. He got the photo Christine took of him sleeping on top of Jon Christmas morning and decided to paint that. He just hoped that Jon would like it as much as the other one. Jon's birthday arrived. Christine baked a cake and got him a gift certificate, not knowing what he would want. They surprised him around noon, when she called and asked if he could come over to help her with her computer. It was just her and Michael there, but with the noise that they put out surprising him you would of thought there were twenty or thirty people. They had streamers going and Michael had a blow-horn going. After things settled some Christine brought out the cake and they sang happy birthday. Christine gave her gift to him while Michael went to his room. It's been a few years since Jon even celebrated his birthday with any one. So Jon was taking back somewhat from the whole thing. "Thank you." Jon says, "For everything." "You're welcome." Christine said then got up to give Jon a hug. She then said, "I'm the one who should be thanking you for everything you've done." Right about then Michael came down holding something wrapped in some kind of brown paper. "Here you go." Michael said while handing it to Jon. Then says, "I hope you like it." "No matter what you get me, I'd love it." Jon said then proceeded to unwrap it. Christine was standing behind Jon and when she saw what it was she says, "Oh my god." "Michael did you paint this?" Jon asked. "Uh, yeah." Michael starting to think that he had done something wrong. Jon got up and gave Michael a big hug, he whispered "I love you." And said out loud "I love it." "It's so good Michael." Christine says, "I can't believe how real it looks." Michael was beaming now. "I know, it looks like the actual photograph." Jon says, "I know where I'm going to hang this up." After a couple of hours Jon and Michael went to Jon's house for the night. Jon hung the picture up in his bedroom, across from his bed, so he could just lay and stare at it whenever he wanted to. But soon it was bedtime. So they got completely naked and got in bed. It started off just like the other times, just kissing and some fondling. But after reading a lot of stories off the internet, Michael wanted to try something new tonight. He wanted to try to give Jon a blowjob for Jon's birthday. But he was so nervous. He gave Jon a long passionate kiss and whispered, "Shut your eyes." "Huh?" Jon asked. "Just shut them." Michael said. Jon shut his eyes and Michael gave him a few more kisses. Then he started running his fingers from Jon's chin to his penis. He slowly ran his fingers up and down the shaft. He grabbed on gently and started to pump it. "God that feels good." Jon said. Michael just kept pumping slowly. He looked at that slit, and it seemed like it looked back. He then looked at Jon, and seen his eyes where still shut. So he went for it. He leaned over and kissed the tip ever so gently. Jon really didn't even know it happened. Michael then opened his mouth and he took the tip in his mouth and rolled his tongue around it. "Oh my god." Jon said, "What are you." he looked up and seen what Michael was doing, ".Michael. You don't.have to do.that." Michael stopped and said, "I know but I want to." And he started again, only this time taking more in. He started doing like the stories he read said. He bobbed up and down, while moving his tongue around. "Oh. God.I can't.believe how.good this feels." Jon said. Michael just kept going. "I'm about.to come." Jon said. Michael sped up, he was going to let him cum in his mouth but when he felt it coming he let Jon out of his mouth and it went everywhere. Mostly on Michael's face since he was right above it. "Man, that.was awesome." Jon said then looked up at Michael, "Oh man you're a mess. I'm sorry." He pulled Michael to him and gave him a kiss. He then reached over and got a washcloth and wiped the cum off Michael's face. They kissed a few more times until Jon said, "My turn." And started kissing Michael on the lips, then his neck, going down his chest and finally the tip of Michael's dick, which made Michael moan some. While giving angel kisses to Michael's boyhood, Michael was moaning and trying to push himself into Jon. Jon finally decided to open up and take him in. He took all of it. He just held it in his mouth and rolled it around with his tongue. "Mmmm, that feels so good." Michael said. Jon started to suck and bobbed up and down. He started off slow, but then Michael started to hump him. So he got in the rhythm, as Michael went up Jon went down and when Michael went down Jon went up. In no time Michael had tensed up and fell back. After catching his breath Michael said, "That was awesome. We got to do that more often." "It was great wasn't it." Jon said and started to kiss Michael. He stopped and said, "I love you so much." "I love you too." Michael said and gave Jon another kiss. Jon noticed how sweaty they were, and they still had some of his cum on them. So he got Michael up and they went and took a shower. Only kissing a few times while in there. After that they were pretty tired so they just cuddled up and fell asleep holding each other. It's been a little over a year since that first blowjob. And in that time Jon and Michael have become as close to each other as possible. They got together as often as before, only now they would either jerk each other off, or give each other a blowjob from time to time. And now it was summer, so Michael was at Jon's everyday since Christine was working and Jon was out of school. But one day Christine stayed home, they didn't know why, but she wanted to talk to the both of them. So they were all at her house sitting around the living room. "Jon, Michael I've got to talk to you two about something." Christine said. "What? You aren't sick are you?" Michael asked. "No, I'm not sick. Just listen OK." Christine said and both Jon and Michael nodded. She goes on to say, "I noticed how close you two have become, and I should have noticed just how close." That shocked Jon and Michael. "Could she know, oh my god. What now?" Jon thought to himself. "Don't look so surprise you two." Christine says, "I've noticed the past few days how you two can't stop looking at each other. I didn't pay attention till I seen this." She pulled out Michael's journal. "Mom, how, where?" Michael was trying to say. He had a tear falling down his face. Jon couldn't say anything. He didn't know what she was holding but it must be something for Michael to act like that. "Oh man, I can't believe this." Jon thought. "It's all right Michael. I'm sorry I read it, but I didn't know what it was at first." Christine says, "It was laying out the other day, and I thought it might be some drawings. When I read it, I was mad at first but I read all of it. Then I looked at you too. I see how happy and in love you are." "What? She's OK with it. What's in that book." Jon could only think to himself, he was to shocked to talk. "I wish that you would of came and talked to me about it first, but I understand why you didn't. Really I do." Christine said. Michael got up and went and gave his mom a hug. "Thank you." he said while they embraced. After a few minutes of hugging and some tears falling they finally separated. "Well Jon, have you anything to say?" Christine asked. "Uh, Uh. What just went on? What's in that book?" Jon asked. "It's my journal." Michael says, "It's where I write about what I'm thinking, and about us." He blushed when he said that last part. "Oh my God. Christine I'm so sorry." Jon says, "I never meant for this to happen. Really. I'm sorry. I no you must hate me. I'd understand if you want me to leave." "NO!" Michael says, "Didn't you hear her. She's OK with it." Jon looks at Michael then at Christine. All he could say was "Christine." "Yes, I was mad at first." Christine said, "And I'm still a little disappointed. I can see the love between you two, and I know I can't stop it. All I can do is accept it and love you both the way I have been. I still have to get use to it though. So for now just act the same OK?" It was Jon's turn to give Christine a hug. While doing so he whispered, "I do love him. And you too." They then separated. "I know you do." Christine said. By now all three of them had tear stained faces. They all talked for a few more hours before Christine decided that she needed a nap. All the emotions that had gone on had drained her. So Jon and Michael went over to Jon's house. "Man that went better then I thought it would." Michael said. "Yeah it did, I'm glad it's over with." Jon says, "That was like a heavy weight being lifted off my chest. Oh by the way, what exactly is in this journal?" "Oh that." Michael says while shifting from one foot to another. "It's just some stuff that I thought about. I guess you can read it if you want." "No, that's OK. It's something private." Jon says, "I'm kind of glad your mom found it, but I think you need to hide it in a better place from now on." "Yeah I guess so." Michael says, "You can read it if you want. You probably know everything in it anyway." "I'd be honored if you let me read it, but later. Right now I want to give you something." Jon said. "What?" Michael asked. "This." Jon said and then bent over and gave Michael a kiss. Another year has passed by. Everything was going great. Jon and Michael still didn't do much in front of Christine. Michael would sit in Jon's lap sometimes, and they would hold hands. But they still didn't kiss in front of her. It was just to embarrassing to Michael. Also in the time that passed Christine went on some dates, as she had a lot of free time since Michael spent most of his time with Jon now. She has been dating the same guy for the last six months. It had gotten real serious, so serious in fact that he asked her to marry him, and she accepted the offer. So now she had a fianc, and Michael a soon to be step-fathered. Michael and Jon got along with Ted, the fianc,, and so they were OK with them getting married. But soon enough they saw the bad side of Ted and that's when things went bad. It had happened after a cook out. Everyone was in the living room watching TV, and chatting. Then the 5 O'clock news had come on, Ted always watched the news whenever it came on. They were talking about a gay teen being killed just because he was gay. "Way to go." Ted said. "What?" Michael asked. "Didn't you hear that? Another fag was killed." Ted says, "That's one more down." Jon, Christine, and Michael couldn't believe what he just said. They were all shocked. They hadn't seen this side of Ted before. "I can't believe you said that Ted." Christine said. "What don't tell you never wished them dead." Ted said. "No I haven't." Christine said. "Bull shit." Ted says, "I bet if Jon there or even Michael was gay you would blow up." "No I wouldn't." Christine said with her voice rising, "I would love them no matter what. They would be the same people they are now. And what would you do if they were?" "Well no offense Jon, but I would probably beat the shit out of him." Ted says, "And for Michael, I think some severe counseling might do him some good, he's still young." "I can't believe." Christine started to say but Jon interrupted her. "Actually I do take offense to that." Jon says, "As a matter of fact I am gay. Do you have a problem with that?" "HaHa. Real funny. You aren't gay." Ted said. "I'm not joking." Jon said. "Bull, quite fucking with me." Ted said. He then looked at Christine and Michael and saw that Jon wasn't kidding. "God, you mother fucker, or should I say father fucker." "Hey watch your mouth in this house." Jon said. "Yeah, and what you going to do about it?" Ted said. Now Ted was about 2 inches under Jon, and didn't have as much muscle as him either. So Jon thought that he could easily take Ted out. Jon stood up and said, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave." "I don't think so." Ted says, "This isn't your house." "No but it is mine. So get out." Michael said surprising everyone. "Boy don't you talk to me that way." Ted said while pushing Michael back down. That was all that Jon could stand. He swung and connected his fist with Ted's jaw and said, "Don't you ever touch that boy again." Ted stumbled back and shook his head. "So the fairy can hit." Ted said. "Stop it!" Christine yelled. "Don't do this in here. I think you need to leave Ted." "Me, he's the fag. He should go." Ted said. "That's enough. Just leave." Christine said. "Fine." Ted said and did just that left. Christine was crying some, so Michael and Jon tried to comfort her. They just couldn't believe that Ted was like that. After 6 months, they had seen his true colors. They talked for a couple of hours, and around 8p.m. they heard tires screeching. They jumped up and looked out the window. It was Ted's car. He got out with a bat in one hand. "Hey Faggot get out here." Ted yelled. "Christine call 911." Jon says, "I'm going to go try and get rid of him." "No, don't go out there." Michael said. "I'll be all right. You just stay right here with your mother." Jon said and gave Michael a kiss. It was the first time that they kissed in front of Christine but they didn't have time to think about that. "Christine, tell them to hurry." "OK, be careful." Christine said. With that Jon went out to talk to Ted. "Ted, put the bat down and let's talk." "Fuck you Fag." Ted said with a little slur. He had been drinking apparently. "Come on now." Jon says, "We don't want no trouble." "Well you got it whether or not you want it." Ted said and he swung the bat at Jon who dodged it. "Hey now you're going to hurt someone and we don't want that." Jon said. "That's the whole point. I'm going to hurt you." Ted said pointing the bat at Jon. And then the fight started. Ted swung a few times at Jon who got out of the way. All Jon wanted to do was keep Ted busy and let the police take care of him when they got here. But after a few more times of swinging and missing Ted charged at Jon, who wasn't really prepared. Jon lost his footing and tumbled with Ted on top of him. Ted started to punch at Jon, but soon Jon threw him off and hit Ted a few times himself. But what Jon didn't see was that Ted had the bat again and hit Jon on the side of the head and he fell over. Jon heard a scream from the house, it was Michael. Ted proceeded to hit Jon a few times, luckily he wasn't a good aim, or the alcohol made him that way. Ted only hit Jon in the legs and Jon's left arm. It was enough to shoot a lot of pain through Jon's body though. Seeing Jon getting hit over and over with the bat, Michael lost control. His instinct was to help the person he loved so much. So he ran and tackled Ted. Since Ted wasn't prepared and he was drunk, it wasn't hard for Michael to get him to the ground. Michael hit Ted as hard as he could, but being as drunk as he was Ted didn't really feel as much pain as he should of. Ted threw Michael off him then kicked him a few times. He then said "Stay down if you know what's better for you." Ted then got the bat and went back over to hit Jon again. Just as he swung at Jon, Michael jumped in the way and got hit in the head. He was knocked out cold. "NO! Oh my God you killed him you son of a bitch." Christine yelled and ran over to Michael. Jon was a little lightheaded and didn't know what had happened at first. He heard Christine yell something. He looked over to his side and saw Michael lying there. He was bleeding from his head. Christine was holding him. He then saw Ted, the bat, and the blood on the bat. "No, NO, NOOO!" He yelled. He didn't know how, but he got a burst of energy. It was all instinct now. He couldn't control it. He somehow got up. Ted took a swing and hit Jon's left arm. Jon just took it. Ted swung again but Jon just charged him, and tackled him to the ground. He then started to hit Ted over, and over, and over. He couldn't stop. The next thing he knew he was being dragged off Ted, but he just kept swinging. The cops had arrived and pulled Jon off Ted. They called for an ambulance for Michael and Ted, it didn't look too good for either. They had put Jon in the back sit of the police car. But soon after Christine had told them what had happened, let him out. Jon went over to try and comfort Christine. They had to get her away from Michael while they try and help him, while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The ambulance did arrive and took Michael and Christine to the hospital. Jon got a ride from one of the cops. When they arrived he was told that Michael was being looked at and while he waited that he should be looked at to. He hadn't noticed but he started to feel the pain from the bat. The doctor did look at him and gave him a prescription for some pain relievers. There still was no word on Michael, so he went and sat down next to Christine. And now it's back to the present time. The doctor was coming closer and the look on his face wasn't good. Both Jon and Christine started to cry. "Hello. I'm Dr. Martin. Are you Michael's mother?" Dr. Martin asked. "Yes." Christine said. "Would you like to speak in private?" Dr. Martin asked. Christine looked around, and only Jon was there so she said while reaching for Jon's hand, "No, Jon's part of the family." "OK." Dr. Martin says, "There were some complications, Michael is alive but in a coma right now." "No." Both Christine and Jon said. "We don't think there will be any permanent brain damage, but really only time will tell." "Can we see him?" Jon asked. "Sure, follow me." Dr. Martin said and then showed them where Michael was. And there Michael laid. He had a lot of monitors on him, and his head as bandaged up pretty well. Other then that he looked like he was in a peaceful sleep. Christine went straight to him, held his hand, and started to talk to him. Jon asked a few questions from the doctor, and learned that the hit on the Michael received caused some swelling and the doctors had to operate to relieve it. They believe that with time remaining swelling will go down and Michael will wake up with no problems, but the brain is still a mysterious organ. So they can't say for sure that that is what will happen. Jon had heard enough and went to Michael's other side and held on to his hand. "Hey babe." Jon said and gave Michael a kiss. He didn't care if anyone seen. But nobody did see, except for Christine and she didn't care. Both Jon and Christine hand on to Michael and talked to him. They would shed some tears here and there. And prayed for him to wake up. But they got no reaction. About an hour later, the doctor came back and said they wait in the waiting room, while they move Michael from the ICU to his own room. So that's what they did, but Jon stopped and asked the doctor "Could you find out about another patient, Ted Sanders?" "Is he the one that did this to Michael?" Dr. Martin asked. "Yeah." Jon said. "I believe he died." Dr. Martin replied. "Good." Jon said and left. Jon and Christine waited in the waiting room, until a nurse came and got them. She led them to the room Michael was in, and left. The both went to Michael, held and talked to him. It was getting late, they both wanted to stay but knew they should take shifts with him. So Christine took the first shift, it was only right, she was his mother. Reluctantly Jon went home and tried to get some sleep but couldn't so he went online. He went to the message board that had helped him so many times. It was his family now. He posted what all had happened and asked for prayers to bring his loved one back him. Jon then turned on his ICQ, but nobody was on. So he got off-line and tried to get some sleep again. It didn't work. He had to call someone. So he called Pete. He knew Pete wouldn't care what time it was, and Pete was always helped Jon by talking with him. He got a hold of Pete on the third ring. "Hello." Pete said in a sleepy voice. "Hey Pete." Jon says, "I'm sorry to wake you but I just had to talk to someone." "Hey Jon. What's wrong?" Pete said noticing the sadness in Jon's voice. Jon went on to tell Pete everything. It helped just talking about it. They talked for at least an hour probably more. Pete offered to come down there, but Jon said that he didn't need too. Not yet anyway. They said their good- byes and hung up. Jon then went to sleep. The talk had lifted a lot off him. Over the next week, Jon and Christine would rotate shifts. Jon in the morning, while Christine worked. Christine would come by after work and stay till 11pm, when Jon came back to relieve her for the night. He would sleep while she was at the hospital, and she would sleep during the night. The only reason Christine was even going to work was to keep her mind off this. It was about three in the morning, and Jon was holding Michael's hand, talking to him and occasionally giving him angel kisses. That's when Jon felt Michael kiss back. He didn't know if it was reflex or not, since Michael's eyes weren't open. So he said, "Michael, Michael can you hear me? Open them eyes baby." Nothing happened. Jon's eye's filled with tears again and said, "God. Please God, just let him wake up." He then leaned over and kissed Michael again, and again Michael kissed back. This time though Michael's eyes started to blink. "Michael can you hear me?" Jon asked and Michael nodded. "You're awake, thank you God." Jon said while letting the tears flow. Michael tried to say something but his throat was to dry. So Jon gave him some water. And then Michael asked, "What happened? Where am I? Where's momma?" "Shhh. One thing at a time." Jon said, "Let me get the doctor first. And then I'll tell you everything." Jon then gave Michael another kiss who returned it. And then he went to get the doctor but only got to talk to the nurse. She went in the room and did the usual thing, check the blood pressure and etc. While she did that, Jon called Christine and told her that Michael was awake and talking. She was ecstatic, and said she was on her way. Jon went back to Michael's side, and the nurse finally got done. She said that she would go tell the doctor and he would be there soon. While they were alone, Jon kissed Michael a few times and then told him what all had happened. While telling the story Jon couldn't help but shed some tears, which made Michael cry some. Jon told him about him being asleep for about a week, about Ted dying and everything that went through his head during this time. He told him how he knew that if something had happened to Michael, Jon wouldn't be able to live. Just as he gave Michael another kiss, the doctor came in. "Well, how you feeling there partner?" Dr. Carter asked, he was the doctor on this shift. "Fine, just a headache." Michael answered. "I think I can help you with that." Dr. Carter said and wrote something down. He then proceeded to look over Michael. Checking his eyes and so forth. Just as he was getting done, Christine came in the room. "Michael." Christine said and ran over to her son and hugged him like there was no tomorrow. "Everything looks good." Dr. Carter says, "I'll get the nurse to give you something for the headache. And you need to get some rest. I know you've been asleep for awhile but you mustn't overdo it right now. What you need is rest." And with that he left. Michael stayed at the hospital for another week, just to make sure that everything was OK. Jon was there almost 24/7, he only went home to take a shower and change clothes. But soon enough Michael was released and got to go back home. Back to his mom, and to the love of his life.
