About 6 hours later Blaine woke up to find Zara laying beside him.  Some where in the room he could hear two women probably nurses talking as they changed shifts.  Exchanging soft whispers of what they thought to the odd couple laying on the table.  For the first time in his life Blaine was surprised to learn he really didn't care any more what anyone else said.  Aside from a father figure he now had a full family.  Sister, mother, brother and a beautiful girlfriend who truly loved him.  He could not simply open his eyes and look at her but he could open his ears and other senses to her fully.  The fact that he could not speak to her with his mind no longer bothered him at all.  Just let those women say as they would... he knew deep in his heart he had a much better love than any of them ever could have hoped for.
