(set season one, a few days after waking up from the coma)
Spending your days at the hospital makes time go slow, very slow. The same white colored walls seemed to be closing in on David every day again from the moment he opened his blue eyes. A routine was starting to form as days went by. Wake up, take in the pills that were already placed on the nightstand by one of the nurses, eat a bit and then wait for the best part of the day…. Mary Margaret who is coming to visit.
David knew that it was wrong to look forward for another woman to arrive than his own wife, he knew that it was not fair. Not fair to Mary Margaret, but definitely not fair to Kathryn. It was the feeling of guilt mixed with the feeling of joy when he saw Mary Margaret. He felt a connection with her that he didn’t had with Kathryn. Maybe that was because Mary Margaret’s voice was the thing that he remembered hearing while he was at that coma. Her voice, and not the one of his wife.
Everything was still confusing and tiring, every time that someone tried to make him remember his past it took away lots of his energy, resulting in him falling asleep in the early afternoon.
David had fallen back asleep after running through some tests made by Dr. Whale. Every day those tests seemed to be taking up more and more time of his day, and therefor also of his energy. At least now he could rest a bit.

It was Kathryn’s voice that spoke out his name that made David wake up from what was supposed to be just a 30 minutes nap. The shadows that were appearing behind some of the chairs inside his hospital room made him realize that it must be somewhere in the late afternoon already. He truly must have been worn out by those test at the morning to be sleeping that long in a row.
David gave Kathryn a greeting smile once he had opened his eyes. “Hey” a little frown formed on his forehead while he gently shuffled himself in a sitting position under the white covers. “I’m good I guess, I just woke up from the longest nap I ever had in my life.” Another smile followed, not really sure on what she wanted to hear him say. “Kathryn, what time is it?” he was curious on how long he had been sleeping. Cause that would also mean that if Kathryn was here, that he had missed Mary Margaret. She normally visited him two hours before Kathryn would come.

Five o’clock already… he truly had missed Mary Margaret then… Why did he always need that much sleep after a list of tests? It wasn’t like he didn’t sleep in a while…. He had been doing that for quite some time.
“erm… yeah I guess we can go for some food first.” It was a surprise to David that she had brought photos. He was curious to see them, but at the same time he wasn’t looking forward to be shown how his life was. Was he afraid to know? Maybe.
There was a huge part of him that wanted to know everything about his life, but there was also a small part which was telling him it was better not to know and to make new memories. Most of the time that small part was coming to play when Mary Margaret showed up in his room.
David lift up the covers and slowly shuffled towards the edge of the bed. He knew from times before that it wasn’t wise on getting up too quickly. It made him dizzy and not fully able to keep steady on his feet. “Kathryn, can you maybe hand me over my bathrobe?” he was keeping his eyes concentrated on the ground before he gently got out of the bed, supporting himself with one hand on the edge of the matrass while he carefully put on his slippers. “You are early today” it appeared to David that most of the time Mary Margaret would still be here with him at this time instead of Kathryn.

David let Kathryn help him out with putting on the bathrobe. Not that he wasn’t able to it by himself, but he had the feeling that she preferred to help out with it.
“The cafeteria is not that far away from here, we mostly take the nearest lift down to the entrance level of this place and then it the second hallway to the right.” After David had given Kathryn a detailed instruction on how they could reach the cafeteria, it downed to him that he had said ‘we’ instead of ‘I’. The color of his ears was slightly starting to change into red.
“I mean… I know this because sometimes Mary Margaret comes to take me out of this room and then we go there. She helps me out with walking and while we do we go towards a place where I can have a good tasting dessert as reward.” It was just a small smile that David had, he didn’t know what he had to do with this situation that he had made difficult himself.
“oh, you got off early. Great. I mean, that’s great right?” David wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or not. He didn’t know Kathryn very well so he had no clue if she was loving her job or not.

David gave Kathryn a smile when she helped him by holding open the door of the hospital room. Most of the time Mary Margaret did that, but now it seems that Kathryn was going to do this in the next coming days. “oh so you can come over here more now?” David didn’t know if he had to regret this or feel happy for it. Although Kathryn was the one he was married with, it didn’t feel like it was right, that it was real. He didn’t had the same connection with her as he had with a certain volunteer.
For now it was the best to just make the best out of it right?
“And about those desserts, you should definitely taste one of those. Even though I’m not knowing a lot of my past already, I do know for sure that the ones with chocolate are my favorite desserts.” Another smile formed by the memory he had when he was last at the cafeteria together with Mary Margaret, and he had surprised her by quickly dipping his finger into the whipped cream from his dessert and putting it on the top of her nose. They had laughed so hard with that.
“So are you planning on taking another job then?” David wondered as Kathryn didn’t seem to be talking in a positive way about it. While he asked about her job they were making their way slowly but surely through the hallway of the hospital, on their way to have a delicious tasting dessert.

“Erm… yeah of course. Of course that’s nice” he gave her a small smile in return to give her some form of confirmation that the answer he gave was the truth.
The both of them waited for the elevator to come down while David listened to every word Kathryn was saying. “oh, that must be for quite some time then, that you work there I mean.” David looked up to see the red lighted numbers of the elevator going down.
“I hope so, cause those white walls are starting to close in on me every time I’m in that room.” There was the familiar sound of an elevator arriving at its level. Slowly David entered and hold the door open by holding his hand in front of the sensor to make sure that Kathryn could enter as well. They were alone in the elevator and once the doors were closing, David turned his head to look behind him. There was a huge mirror that had the same size as one wall of the elevator. It made him frown when he saw the two of them standing next to each other, both wearing the same looking wedding ring. He still couldn’t believe that Kathryn was his wife as he didn’t remember anything about that.
“Kathryn… can I ask you something? You brought a box with you but left it in the room. What was in it?”

“Dr. Whale mentioned on probably being able to go home in the weekend. They only need to do one test and if that one turns out to be good I am allowed to leave this place. I think it will do me some good to be away from those four white walls of my hospital room which seem to be closing me in every time I’m having my eyes open for more than five minutes.”
David was looking forward on getting out of this hospital but at the same time he was nervous on what would be the place he once had called his home. He couldn’t remember anything about it. He couldn’t remember on how the house looked like from the outside, or what was inside his garden, did he even had a garden? Let alone he remembered something on how the inside looked like.
The elevator came to an halt and both of the doors opened, revealing another white colored hall way which would lead directly towards the cafeteria. “oh, good. I will like it to see some photos from before all of this happened. I’m quite curious on how the house looks like and to see things that we might have done together. Like photos from holidays and travels…”

Slowly but surely the both of them made their way towards the cafeteria and settled themselves down at one of the green colored tables.
“Oh, did we? I..I wish I could remember something from our last Thanksgiving and Christmas but…” David frowned and stared at the food that was in front of him on a plate, making it seem like the answers would be coming out of it.
“What was your father’s name again?” he had no idea on how her father must look like, let alone what his name was. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea of Kathryn to have brought photos of them and their family.
“Did we had a lot of friends?” David wanted to know everything, everything that could give him any kind of recognizing of his past.
Suddenly it downed to him that not only Kathryn would have been worried about his disappearance, but his parents probably as well. “Kathryn, I…I don’t know how I need to ask you this but… do my parents know that I am still alive? That everything is okay with me?”
David locked his eyes with the ones of his wife, wondering why his parents didn’t visit him yet since he had woken up.

Milos Chrysta…. It didn’t ring any bell to David. That name had the same level of strangeness as all the names he could read on the tags that were clipped on the nurse’s and doctor’s coats.
Then there were Gene, Ellen and apparently his best friend Frank. He couldn’t imagine how all of these people were looking like. Their faces were all a blur and nothing about their names brought up any memories.
David gave his wife a small smile when she mentioned him thumb wrestling with Frank on Thanksgiving. It all sounded like the most perfect Thanksgivings he and Kathryn had together with their friends, but none of them were perfect enough for David to remember.
The small smile he had fade away when Kathryn placed her tender hand on his while her lips spoke the truth about his parents. “They… died?...” two words. Two words and an endless silence that followed. David wasn’t moving at all, shock had taken over his actions while after what seemed to be minutes his eyes blinked and one tear rolled down his cheek.
“My mother…. She….” David swallowed in the pain he felt by this news. Unable to express what he was feeling. “…she died while I was in this coma?” his eyes locked with Kathryn’s while his pupils moved slightly from left to right.

Maybe that was exactly the reason why he was that tensed before he ended up in a coma. Maybe it was the loss of his mother that had made him not able to cope with Kathryn’s wish on wanting to have a child, followed by having an argument and going out of the house for a little walk.
A little walk that had changed into what seemed to be an eternity.
David gestured with his hand that he didn’t feel like eating, definitely not something that was looking like that jello in front of him.
“I know… I know that you didn’t want to talk about this. I was the one who asked you about my parents. Maybe this coma needed to happen to make me forget about things like that.” David lowered his eyes and watched the plate in front of him for a little while before he looked up once more.
“Kathryn…. Once I get out of this hospital, could you bring me to the graveyard? I feel like I have to visit that place and to see my parents for the last time to be able to move on.”
David wished he could leave the hospital right now and go there, but there wasn’t a chance to do so already anyway. “That box of photos you brought, are there pictures of my parents inside of it?”
