Four days four nights four overnight stays
Day 1
Bobby steps through the revolving door of the hospital. It was late in the day. He has a lot to do. The whole chaos that Jo Gage left behind her will take days to clear up.
But that's all for today. He has no more power. Now he only wants to visit Alex and see if everything is okay with her.
The sweet young student nurse sits behind the counter. "She is sleeping Detective." She says and bursts a chewing gum bubble.
"Okay, I will be quiet." Bobby answers and goes directly to room number six. All the lights are off in Alex's room. She lies in her hospital bed and looking so tender and breakable. He bends down to kiss her on her forehead. Beside he notes that her head bandage is off. The light of the New York skyline is sufficient to see her taped wound.
Bobby puts his jacket down, loosens his tie and stretches in a chair next to Alex's bed. He looks at Alex for a long time, while she sleeps. Her breath is deep and regular. He feels relaxed for the first time during this day and he can take it easy. Nothing has happened to his partner that will not heal. Yesterday, she had told him that she would be able to leave the hospital tomorrow evening.
He is so grateful, that nothing had happened to her. He would not have known what he would have done without her. He needs her. The last two days at the Major Case Squad without her, he was barely able to endure.
While his view wanders through the sterile room, he sees many flowers and aerial balloons from Alex's family, her friends and her colleagues. He sees a little crucible standing on the small side table beside Alex's bed.
He reaches over Alex and takes the container in his hand. It is a lip balm. He unscrews the lid and smells. It smells very fruity like cherries and quite easy like rose blossoms. He rubs over the top of the fat with small circles with his middle finger until it becomes smooth because of his body warmth and the friction. He bends over Alex's head and places his hand on her mouth. He slowly follows the contours of her lips with his fingers. First he touches her lower lip and then her upper lip.
He concentrates on her lips and notices only after a few moments, that Alex has woken. She presses a light kiss on his fingertip.
"Hey!" He welcomes her softly.
"Hallo! What time is it?" Alex wants to know.
"I think some minutes before ten."
"And what are you still doing here? Don't you have a life?" She says, although she is very happy to find him still so late at her bed.
"I wanted to visit you. Yesterday I promised it, nevertheless." He answers with a smile on his lips.
"True, you promised it. I am so glad to see you."
She smiles back at him.
After they have talked for more than an half hour, Alex asks Bobby for something.
"Bobby, I must go to the restroom. Could you help me please? The nurses always take a long time to come."
"No problem! Wait, I help you sit up." He says and rises from his chair.
Alex removes the blanket and swings her legs from the bed. Bobby supports her, so that she can get up. Her wrists are still bandaged.
Alex wears a hospital gowns. Bobby must laugh involuntarily.
"Stop this! They have forbid me to wear my own nightdress."
"Excuse me! I thought these nasty little shirts were an invention of television.
He offers his arm to Alex like a gentleman. However she ignores it and lays her arm around Bobby's waist and pinches him.
"No, don't do that. I am ticklish." Bobby giggles and grabs Alex's hand.
They go slowly through the quite hospital halls, both the arm around the waist of the other.
Before they reach the bathrooms Bobby asks: "Should I walk in with you, or can you make it alone?"
"I can do it alone." Alex answers and enters the room.
-xXx-
As she washes her hands, Alex looks at her face in the mirror. She sees the wound at her head. Her shoulders and upper arms still hurt like hell. Her wrists burn like fire. She has to think of the shouts of the young woman, who was killed no more than five meters from her. She could do nothing. Nobody was there to help her or Alex.
Alex starts to cry. It is too much for her. She was strong at the last days, for herself and her family. She did not want to admit her weakness to herself. She did not want to admit that she had cheated death.
Now Bobby waited outside the door for several minutes, when he hears a sobbing. Because he is worried, he simply enters the wash rooms. He sees Alex, who stands, shaking and weeping before the wash basins. She has supported herself with the hands at a wash basin and letting her head hang.
Bobby steps up to her, turns her around and takes her spontaneously in his arms. He pulls her gently towards him. He presses his face in her hair and murmurs: "Everything will be okay Alex."
"Bobby, I couldn't rescue her, Amanda. It simply did not work. I had no chance." She accuses herself, while she pours more tears at Bobby's breast.
"It is not your fault." Bobby tries to comfort Alex again. He strokes affectionate over her back. "What can I do for you?" Bobby asks.
"I don't want to be alone."
"Okay?"
"You stay with me…tonight?" Alex asks quietly.
"Yes, I will stay with you as long as you need me." He replies and presses his partner still a little closer to himself.
"Come, we'll go back to your room before the night duty nurse catches me." He says with a light smile in his voice.
"Well, I come. But I still want to wash my face." She says feeling calmer.
Bobby makes himself at home in the armchair beside Alex's bed. The night nurse gives him a blanket. Unfortunately he is too tall to find a comfortable position in this armchair.
-xXx-
Alex is awaken up by a groaning. She opens her eyes and discovers Bobby, who has fallen asleep in a very uncomfortable position. She sits up in bed and touches him on his shoulder.
"Bobby, wake up."
"What? Is something wrong? Are you okay?" He asks excitedly. Then an obsessed groaning comes over his lips: "Damn, my neck." He touches himself with his hand on his neck and massages it.
"Come into the bed with me. There is enough space." Alex requests him.
"No, I can't do that." He argues.
"Tomorrow you will have a hard working day. You still need a little more sleep. Get undress and lie down next to me."
"Alex!"
"No argument!"
Bobby sighs and in the end he gives way. He removes his tie and opens the buttons of his shirt.
Alex can not suppress. She hums 'You Can Leave Your Hat On'.
"That's not witty. "
"It is."
"Why always is this song sung, if someone gets undress?" Bobby asks amused.
"Because 'Je t'aime' has simply not enough beat." Alex answers quickly. She observes each of his movements.
Bobby wears a white cotton undershirt and white blue striped boxers.
Alex moves a bit beside to make room for her partner. She raises the blanket so Bobby can lay underneath it with her. He climbs into the bed, anxious to leave as much distance between him and Alex as possible.
"Take me in your arms, please." Alex whispers.
Bobby snuggles up more comfortable and places one of his arms around Alex. She softly lays her head on his chest.
"I feel so safe with you Bobby. How do you do makes me feel this way?" Alex asks before she falls asleep.
"I don't know." Bobby murmurs into Alex hair. A few minutes later he also falls asleep.
A/N: I know the hospital bed in the show was very narrow. I don't think that Bobby and Alex could lie together in it. But I wanted that they do it, it is just fiction.
