~*POV Vic*~

He looked so broken... Just laying their... He was breathing by himself, so I guess that's good... But his bare chest was thickly bandaged. Not to mention he had a huge bump on his forehead, it was purple... I cringed at the sight, but he is alive and that's what matters.

"He should be waking up any minute now," the nurse said, "He's on a lot of painkillers, but his thoughts should be clear. The swelling in his brain has calmed down and when he wakes up we'll find out how it affected him."

I pursed my lips and nodded. I know that the doctor said that only his memory would be affected, but I'm still worried. What if they were wrong and he's a vegetable? I shuddered, but...

My thoughts were interrupted by a sound escaping Mike's lips. It was quiet, but it snapped my head back into reality. I ran to one side of the bed and mom went to the other.

"Mike?" I whispered, taking his hand again.

He groaned again and his peaceful looking eyes squinted, before fluttering open.

"Vic?" he asked, he looked really disorientated.

I smiled and nodded, he remembered me. I'm so relieved he didn't forget everything again. I seriously feel like a massive weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.

"What happened?" he asked, clutching his forehead with his hand, "The last thing I remember was pushing Tony out of the way..."

"Well, a giant light fixture fell on top of you," I explained, "You had surgery to fix a collapsed lung. We were all pretty worried about you, but it seems like you're ok now."

He smiled and sighed in relief. From the other side of the bed, Mom put her hand on Mike's shoulder. He jumped up slightly and turned to her.

"Oh, sorry Ma," he said, "I didn't see you there..."

"Mike," I stammered, "You remembered mom..."

His eyes widened and a smile grew on his face, "I guess I did..."

"What else do you remember?" I asked, trying not to get my hopes up. Maybe he remembered her because she was his own mother.

He shut his eyes and his brow furrowed in concentration. He sat there like that for awhile, no one said anything. I just stared at him, mom did the same. I bit my lip as his face relaxed, a small smile blooming onto his face. He stayed like that for a bit longer, his eyes still closed. After a bit longer the smile grew into a full force grin. His eyes snapped open, they had a sparkle in them that I haven't seen in quite awhile.

"Vic," he said, "I remember everything..."

~*POV Tony*~

"What's taking them so long?" I asked nervously, "What if he's not ok? What if the surgery didn't go as well as they thought!"

"Tone," Jaime said, putting a protective arm around my shoulders, "Calm down, I'm sure he's fine. They probably need a family moment, hell, their mom might've had a fucking break down because her own son doesn't know who she is!"

I sighed, I'm just being selfish. Yeah it hurt being the boyfriend, or I guess ex, of an amnesia patient. But I haven't even thought about how Vic feels, being his brother... Not to mention his mother, the one who's known him the longest...

"You're right," I mumbled, looking down the hallway Mike's room was down, "He's probably fine, or on the way to being..."

It looked like someone was running down the hallway... I instantly felt bad for him, running in a hospital usually means bad. The closer the figure gets, I realize, it's Vic... My mind instantly goes to the worst possibility, Mike's gone. I feel all the anxiety I've so carefully balled up surface. But, the closer Vic gets, the happier he looks. It looks like he's smiling, I don't know what to think of this.

"TONY!" he yells once he's in earshot, "GET DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW!"

I don't think, I just run. I take off in the direction Vic came from, a million thoughts coming into my head.

"MY MOM'S STANDING OUTSIDE THE ROOM!" Vic yells, "LOOK FOR HER!"

I did just that, but by the time I got there I was breathing pretty heavily. I really need to work out more after this is all over... I stand in front of Vivian and try to catch my breath.

"I see you're in good shape Tony," she chuckles, "But in all seriousness, it's good to see you again."

I nod in agreement, "I wish the circumstances were better though..."

She pulls me in for a small hug. I hug her back, I became really close with Vivian the summer I took care of Mike, she was a mother to me.

"Go get 'em tiger," she said after we pull away from our hug, "I'm going to go call Victor Sr, he has no idea what's going on yet..."

I give her the best smile I could muster before she walks away. I take a very deep breath, open the door to Mike's room and walk in.

I see Mike sitting up in his bed. He doesn't look as bad as I expected, he looks good actually, considering he just had major surgery. When he notices me standing in the doorway, he smiles widely and motions for me to come sit by the bed.

"Mike, I... Um... Thank you..." I stammer, unsure what to say.

"Don't thank me Tone," he said, placing his hand on top of mine, "It was like an instinct, you were in trouble and I had to save you. I'm actually really happy it was me..."

I shot him a look, "Why? Mike, I know you're doing better and all, but you came so close to dieing..."

"It was worth it though," he whispered, "If it never happened I wouldn't want to do this..."

Before I could ask what 'this' was, he put his hand on my neck and brought me closer to him. He then sat up more and brought his lips to mine. I instantly I wrapped my arms around him, he did the same. In his arms, was my home.
