The Royal Selection

A week Later...
It was close to 10pm and Tina was sitting next to Newt. Newt wore only pj pants. The blanket rested at his collar bone covering his chest. He had been in a coma for a week. Tina stared at the sheets and than his hand. Suddenly the machine he was connected to beeped like CRAZY!
Doctors rushed in and she was taken outside the room. She stared in his direction and tears began to form.

Doctors tried stabilizing Newt when suddenly everyone woke up. He tried pushing them back and a doctor yelled,"We need assistance over here"!
They held him down and he began to gasp for air. A doctor grabbed an air mask and put it on him. He calmed down slightly and they checked his bandage that currently was soaked with blood.

After about ten minutes the doctors finally left his room.
Tina walked in hesitating a little. He had the mask on. She assumed he was still unconscious as she sat by his bed. She lied her head on the side of the bed with her hands resting near her head. Suddenly as she was about to fall asleep she felt his hand grab two of her fingers. She looked up, his eyes were still closed. She smiled a little and she ran her fingers through his hair.
"Am I dead"?
She immediately smiled and laughed a little.
"I don't think this is heaven"!
He smiled, he kept his eyes closed and said softly, "Could...Could you...turn off the lights"?
"Yeah, sure. To bright"?
"Yes".
She turned off the lights and went back to him. He opened his eyes still squinting. He looked tired. He looked down and immediately he noticed her finger had a wedding ring.
"How long have I been out"?
"A week".
There was silence.
"Uh....con-congratulations".
"Oh. Uh, yeah. Thanks".
"Who"?
"William".
"I....I wish you....both of you, the best".
"Thank you. Do me a favor. Please get better".
He gave a small smile and she squeezed his hand than left.

The next day...
Tina came to the room around noon. She walked to the opening to only see them shocking Newt with AEDs. They were on the third try. He woke up gasping for air. Immediately she leaned against the wall with tears starting to form.
When they came out she asked if she was able to go in. The doctor said,"Your highness, I'm so sorry but he told us he didn't want you to visit anymore".
"Why"?
"He didn't say".
