Jay frowned, picking up the tree limb that took down Ty, and swung it at Cass, the limb cracking against the side of her face. Then he bent to pick up a knife, never noticing that Ty was already out of his seat.
Ty ran, leaping onto Jay's back, his arms wrapped around Jay's throat. Jay backed up against the wall of the cave and Ty released his grip. He punched Jay again, breaking his nose again, then followed up alternating punches rapidly, giving Jay a black eye and busting his lip.
Ty then swung at Jay's skull with the same tree limb, and it broke on impact, sending Jay rolling out of the cave and down the hill and stopped. His body lay motionless. Ty turned around to look at Cass. "MOM!"

Cass never took her eyes off of Ty until she felt the tree limb hit the side of her face. She felt something crack in her jaw and intense pain....
Cass looked up to see Ty wrapping his hands around Jay's throat....one side of her was saying, "Good, that jerk is out of our lives forever.." while the other said, "No, don't! I still love him..." She knew though that it would never work out.....he had tried to kill her son...her eyes closed then...welcoming the blackness, as her breathing slowed...

Ty sat by his mom's bedside at the hospital. She'd been there three days already, and Ty hadn't moved. He felt tears go down his face. His mom had been in that exact state ever since the incident at the cave.
The doctors and nurses couldn't make Ty leave, so they let him stay, watching his mom, with all those machines hooked up to her. He hadn't slept since, and he only ate because the nurse made him, and even then it was just enough.
Scooting his chair closer to his Mom, he lay his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes, his exhaustion taking over....

Cass hadn't felt being moved by Ty to the hospital or felt any other change of any sort when she was in the coma. She heard everything though and she felt it. She just wished she could wake up and tried opening her eyes every day.
Finally, after three days, she simply opened them. The light shone into her eyes and she felt pain. Intense pain. She saw Ty sleeping and she moved herself to where she could wrap her arms around him. "Come, stop your crying, it'll be all right. Just take my hand, hold it tight...I will protect you from all around you...I will be here, don't you cry..." she had a hard time saying anything but she would sing for her son. That's what she sang when he felt pain or anything and she was there for comfort...

Ty's eyes flew open when he felt his mother's loving arms around him. The tears flowed again when she started singing. It was the song she'd always sung to make him feel better.
At first he was just lost in his mother's touch and in her song. And then it hit him. "MOM! Oh my God! Mom! You're ALIVE!" Ty shouted happily, snuggling up to her. "I...I thought I'd lost you....and...Jay's....dead...."

Cass watched as Ty slowly woke up and realized that she was alive. "Yeah..." She snuggled back as best as she could, which was more like shifting to get more comfortable. "I'm fine, Tyler..." she hugged him tight, the memories flooding back.
"You're okay...you're okay, you're okay you're okay, you're o-o" she burst into tears on his shoulder, because of the memories and the pain. She paused for a second. "Jay? H-He's really gone?" Her terror etched in her voice, but she fought hard to fight it. "I'm glad he didn't get you..." She burst into tears again. "I can't live without you..."

Ty was still crying, only now they were tears of joy, for the most part. He still had his mom. Jay failed at separating them. He hugged Cass back as best he could.
"Yeah, he's gone...I saw him lying there as I brought you out of there. He...wasn't moving, not even breathing." Ty wiped his tears and calmed a little. "I'm...glad you're okay. I can't live without you, either..."

Cass felt herself take a steady breath then. Jay wouldn't be bothering them anymore. Then the doctors came in, and Cass looked at them. They were different than before. Thank God..."Ms. Ryonas? You're awake?" The woman looked at her in disbelief.
Cass didn't know if it was from exhaustion or what, but she sort of snapped. "Of course I'm awake!" Then her face had a look of shock and she looked away in shame. The doctor didn't seem to mind the outburst though as she got the machinery off and ordered soup for Cass. "You're going to have to go on bedrest for quite a few weeks. Whatever hit you on the side of the head has momentarily paralyzed your legs." The doctor kept on talking about treatment and such but Cass was too shocked to hear about her paralyzation. Her legs? Gone? Therapy? What?! She looked over at Ty, to see how he was reacting, all the while trying to mask her fear, and not succeeding real well.

Ty sat up as the doctor came in and unhooked Cass. He saw Cass react to the doctor's diagnosis. The look on Ty's face was calm at first, then he faked hysteria, putting his head on his Mom's shoulder and sobbing.
"Don't worry Mom. I'll take care of you," Ty said. Then he whispered, "Mom, remember, as soon as we get home, you can morph an everything'll be better," then, out loud, "MOM....I can't believe this..."

Cass felt Ty sob on her shoulder and her hand went up and rubbed his back soothingly. What she didn't expect nor realize was when he sobbed and then in a semi normal voice, told her she could morph. That was something he got from his father, but unlike Jay, Ty knew when to use it for the better and when not to. It almost caused her to smile.
Soon the soup came and the doctors left after checking the rest of the vitals and Cass tried drinking the soup. She winced in pain at each sip, but she made no sound.

Ty wiped his tears and smiled at Cass when the doctors left. He looked at her, remembering all the events and what was said at the cave.
"Mom?" Ty asked. "I've got a few questions, if you don't mind me asking...Um...Jay's mouth, at first. Did...you do that? And...those looks you gave him....I never woulda thought..." He smiled that signature grin of insanity as he looked at her.

Cass looked over at Ty and grinned the same grin back. "Yes, I did that to his lip. Amazing what a good bite and slap can do when he gets close like he did..." She looked at him again.
"Tyler. Surprising or not, you got most of your attributes from me. I just don't use them much." She kissed him on the forehead and said, "Now, really, did you think I would go to the cave without a fight? I even kicked him, and you know how unfair I think that is..."

Ty smiled, taking Cass' hand. "I saw a side of you I didn't know you had. I mean, I knew you weren't helpless. You're very gentle and caring, but you know how to handle yourself."
He grinned as she kissed his forehead. "I knew you'd have put up some sort of fight. And I'm glad I took after you for the most part. You're the best."

Cass squeezed his hand and said, "I wouldn't want to be anything but gentle and caring, but Jay kinda left me with no other choice..."
Cass felt touched that Ty thought she was the best; inside, she felt like this whole mess was her fault, but she wouldn't say anything. Just then the doctor came in. "Okay, Ms. Ryonas, you are free to check out. We have some nurses coming to put you in the wheelchair and then into the car. I'm assuming Mr. Ryonas knows how to drive, yes?" Cass nodded. "Okay then. If one of you could sign this piece of paper, the nurses will help you on your way."

"I know, Mom. I like your gentle side," Ty said as the doctor came in. "I know how you feel. I hated him for treating you that way...." He hushed and looked at the doctor.
Ty nodded when asked if he could drive, then signed the paper. Ty then sat down next to Cass and took her hand again. "I love you mom. You'll be better in no time," he said, that mischievous look in his eye.
