HEART IN A BOX
Teddy/Henry fanfic. Story picks up right after 8x08 episode 'heart-shaped box'. After the show I was totally confused and frustrated about the end, leaving Henry there coughing blood and Teddy looking so anxious.
Well this is my first official fanfic ever, I've written before but never had the courage to publish it. Hope you enjoy it, I'll try to update as soon as possible, and if you want you can leave me your ideas for the continuance in the reviews and I'll try to put them into the story.
Sorry for grammar- or spelling mistakes, I try my best to avoid them, but English is not my first language spoken (German is, btw)
I do not own anything (and I'm really sorry about that :/ ), all characters belong to Shonda Rhymes and the ABC. So have fun reading and tell me what you think about it !
Love, Christina
'okay, okay. It's gonna be okay' she reassured him, but in her eyes was so much sorrow and fear. He was feeling guilty, he didn't want her to be scared because of him, but in that moment all he could think about was the blood on his hands, in his mouth and on the floor. He didn't know where it came from, he hadn't had any new tumors diagnosed and he was scared to death.
Like in trance he watched Teddy wipe the blood from his mouth, as she hurried to her purse and pulled out her mobile phone. Henry could see that her hands where shaking and all he wanted to do was believe her words, but just then another cough shattered his body as he again spitted blood in the sink.
Her hands were shaking and she was blinking back tears as she dialed the emergency number. It seemed to take years until finally somebody picked up. 'Teddy Altman from speaking. I immediately need an ambulance to Lincoln Street 43, 5th floor. The patient is coughing huge amounts of blood, there's the possibility that he has a serious lung embolism. Okay, 5 minutes, but hurry up!'
Placing the phone back on the table, she desperately ran a hand through her hair. As she heard him cough again, Teddy hurried over to the sink and as he was a little bit better, she poured him in a glass of water.
'here, rinse your mouth.' as she handed him the glass. 'The ambulance is gonna be here in a few moments, we're gonna make this.' she gently placed her hands on his cheeks 'you're not gonna die. You're not gonna die here, whether in the ambulance nor during surgery. You're gonna make it.'
Teddy's voice was barely above a whisper, and she wasn't sure if what she had told him just moments ago was the truth or if she was just trying to convince herself.
'Can you walk? It would be better if we wait outside the door.'
He gave her a quick nod and she grabbed her purse and her jacket. Teddy took him by the arm and slowly they walked out of the apartment. Just in that moment the ambulance with sirens stopped in front of their house and mere seconds later two men with a bare came in. Henry had to lay down and carefully they took him down to ambulance. It caused Teddy everything not to burst into tears right now.
Getting out of the elevator with the rescue team, she took his hand and held it tightly. His amber-green eyes fixed hers and she whispered 'I'm so sorry, Henry.'
Teddy climbed into the ambulance and held his hand during the whole drive to SGMW hospital. Silently she was sending prayers to god to give her husband another chance. She couldn't live with the fact that there was the possibility that he died in front of her right now. 'Please don't let him go. Don't take him away from me. I wouldn't survive that pain.'
