I'm Here
I can't feel my legs.
Tears burned in her eyes as she struggled to get the words out. She felt uncharacteristically scared and alone.
I'm sorry, Dr. Brennan.
The apology didn't completely register in her mind. Her thoughts were flashing back to a few short hours ago. It had all happened so fast. She barely remembered seeing the SUV speeding into the intersection through the passenger side window. The next thing she knew she was at the hospital, greeted by stark white walls and the hum of machinery.
There was significant nerve damage.
His words hit her as hard as the speeding van that had ploughed into her car had. She opened and closed her fingers, grasping at the sheeting covering her torso. Her pulse quickened, her breathing became shallow. She didn't want to ask, but the question tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop herself.
Is it permanent?
The doctor was about to answer when a blur charged into the room, enveloping her in a tight hug. Tears freely fell down her cheeks as she buried her head into his chest. She clutched onto his shirt, trying to hold him as close to her as she physically could. When her sobs started to subside, he reached down and brushed the tears away with his thumb. Neither dared to say a word, as they stared at each other. Gently he placed a kissed in her mess of curls. She suddenly didn't care what the doctor had to tell her. All that mattered now was what he'd whispered into her ear.
I'm here, Bones.
Fin for now
