Anthony's POV

I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry that this took so long. Also I had no time to edit this.

Two weeks had passed. The rest of the cast had returned to the show but Lin banned me until Jas woke up.

Jas's chance of waking up had been slowly going up. It was at 62% now and I spent pretty much all my time in the hospital with her. I visited Nala a few times but Renée was taking care of her.

I held Jas's hand, as I often did when I was with her, and looked at my phone. I suddenly felt something squeeze my hand weakly three times.

I looked up quickly and saw Jas, eyes barely open and giving me a small smile. I squeezed her hand three times back.

"Jas!" I exclaimed quietly, yet excited. I hugged her, careful not to hurt her, and ran to get a nurse.

"I was so worried about you!!!!" I said when I got back, tears running down my face.

"Don't waste your time. I'm not important enough." She half-whispered shakily.

"No no no mi amor!" (Translation: my love) I said, brushing her hair out of her face as the nurse rushed from her bed to the computer. "You're amazing and don't you dare think otherwise."

"But, baby, I've caused all this trouble-" Jas argued weakly.

"Mi ángel," I interrupted. (Translation: My angel) "I love you so much. You are my life. You could  never cause too much trouble."

"Love you too Ant!" She looked so fragile that more tears ran down my cheeks. Jas reached up and wiped them away. I grabbed her hand and held it carefully. I quickly got lost in Jas's eyes. She lifted her head slightly and I leaned down to meet her lips.

"Jasmine will have to stay here for a week." The nurse said, interrupting our moment and causing us to split apart. "After that she needs to stay out of work for another two weeks and then she'll be fine to return to her normal life. I'll have someone explain to you how to replace the bandages and they'll also tell you when you can get your stitches out."

I grinned at Jas. She'll be okay!

"I'll give you guys some privacy." The nurse said, smiling at us. She left the room.

"You're gonna be okay!" I said excitedly.

"I'm gonna be okay!" She replied, matching my tone. I laughed at her.

"I love you!" I whispered, kissing her softly and quickly on the lips.

"Hey Ant?" Jas asked when we pulled apart.

"Yeah?" I responded, staring happily into her eyes.

"Are you gonna call the rest of the cast?" She giggled. My cheeks flushed and I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment.

"R-right of course." I stuttered. Jas laughed as I pulled my phone from my back pocket.

"Hey Lin." I said, as soon as he picked up. "How was the show?"

"Fine." He answered. "How's Jazzy?"

"Same as usual." I replied with a fake sigh. "Oh except now Jas is conscious." Jas giggled quietly and I stiffed laughs.

"WHAT?!" Lin shouted.

"Jas woke up an hour ago." I said.

"Anthony if you're lying-" I interrupted him quickly.

"I'm not lying. Here." I handed my phone to Jas.

"Hi Lin." Jas said, still sounding very weak.

"JAZZY!" Lin yelled. Jas and I laughed.

"YEAH IT'S ME!" She yelled back, matching his tone and volume.

"WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE!!" Lin hung up.

"I love him but he's insane." Jas said, smiling up at me. I grinned at her.

After around five minutes of beaming giddily at each other and holding hands, Pippa and Lin burst through the door. The rest of the cast filed in after them, followed by Steph, Pheebs, and Jas's parents, who had visited a few times since the incident.

"HONEY YOU'RE AWAKE!!" Kim yelled, wrapping Jas in a tight hug.

"Mom. I need to breathe." Jas gasped. Ron and I pulled Kim off before she could do much damage to Jas.

"Sorry." Kim said softly. She then turned to me. "Thank you so much for stay with her Anthony." She almost knocked me over with her hug.

"Thanks son." Ron said, patting me on the back.

Everyone in the room was talking to Jas excitedly.

"How long have you been awake?"  Pippa asked, tears streaming down her face.

"Around an hour and a half." Jas answered. She was slowly regaining her strength, though it would be a while until she could go back to performing.

"ANTHONY RAMOS MARTINEZ!!!!" Pippa yelled, getting out of her chair and taking three big, angry strides towards me. I backed up against the wall. "JAZZY HAS BEEN AWAKE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME- I MEAN US!?!"

"Sorry I was distracted." I defended. She took a deep breath.

"You're fine. Just don't do it again." Pippa warmed.

"Hopefully is doesn't happen again." I responded. We sat in an awkward silence for a while before I noticed Jas was crying again.

"He's gone." I whispered, sitting on the edge of her bed. "Noah can't hurt you." Jas wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head on the side. I wiped away her tears and rested my arm on her shoulder.

"Thank you Ant. I love you." Jas said, just loud enough for me to hear.

"I love you too."

——

One week later (I'm writin' a letter night- NO! Kate! Stop!)

Jas held my hand tightly as we made our way out of the hospital.

"Hurry up! I need to see my baby." She said, pulling me quickly to a cab.

"Nala will still be there if we walk." I joked. Jas rolled her eyes but slowed down.

"I miss her." She whined. I smiled at her.

"I know."

We got home as soon as we could. I opened the door to our apartment slowly. We were met with Nala, jumping up and down, extremely happy to see her mother.

"Aww! Hi baby!" Jas cooed. I grabbed her pursed, which she had set on the ground, and placed it on the counter.

"Okay mommy needs to eat." I said to Nala, picking her up. Jas scratched her head and walked to the kitchen.

Jas ordered us pizza and we sat down to watch High School Musical.

After a while, I set Nala on the ground and rested my head on Jas's shoulder and wrapped my arms around her. She looked at me lovingly.

"You're comfy." I whispered. Jas giggled.

"Thanks."

"Don't ever so that again." I begged. "You scared me."

"I'll do my best." She said. I looked up and kissed her, splitting apart quickly.

Yeah I had no clue how to end this chapter. I'm SO sorry about how long this took to write. It's been two weeks and I come out with this crap. Anyways, I went to my auditions for The Wizard of Oz- I tried out for Dorothy. I got a callback and went to that so, fingers crossed. Thank you so much for reading this slow updating crap. Thanks especially to all voters and commenters.

Also I had no time to edit this sorry.

Character you'd want to have babies with.

John Laurens. Because he's Anthony Ramos.

Historically Eliza. She was a really good mom.

WHAT DA HECK I GOTTA DO TO BE WIT CHU!!

In the words of Thomas Sanders: "Take it easy guys, gals, and non binary pals! Peace out!"

Have a great day!
