Well here we you've all been waiting for! So I am a bit saddened to say that this segment wont be quite as dark as my previous segment. Just because its more for healing then not. Though in the future i might be going back to my evil ways *Hint Hint nudge nudge*
Anyways, I must apologize for the way i left the last fic. But i must admit, it was too good to pass up. To be fair, i was going to wait till the very END to put in authors notes stating there would be another fic. But i'm pretty sure ya'll would have gone all sorts of Karl Briggs on me.
If your just coming into this story, I would strongly advise you read "Hey Naya, Lets write a fan fic!" . If you don't, i'm almost 100% sure that you will be lost.
So anyways ,There bbbaaaccckkkk.

-One week later-
Demi needed to stay in the hospital for further observation ,two weeks at most. the Doctors in the ward needed to make sure she was stable enough to enter the world. But Naya didn't care about that. Naya was going to stick by her girl no matter what, no. She was going to stick by her Fiance .
Demi said yes! Out of all the hell and all the tests, all the surgeries and medications. Demi said yes. Naya would remember that moment forever...
-One week earlier-
"Demetria Lovato, Will you Marry me?" Naya tensed , she was expecting the woman to shoot her down. Why would she say yes? She had just basically told her that she wanted her to leave her be. What did she think would come of this stunt rather then another bout of heartbreak.
"Yes..." Demi sniffed.
Naya's head perked up. "Say what?"
Demi placed both of her hands on the Latina's cheeks, steadying her as she kissed her full on the lips . "I said yes..."
Naya almost melted into the girl's lips. How she had missed all the shit they've gone through , this was the reason Naya would fight. She mumbled in the girls mouth. Making Demi chuckle for what seemed like the first time in weeks.
Pulling away from the kiss, Demi felt Naya try to follow her lips. It was adorable how much Naya had found the need to prolong their connection for as long as possible. "What was that?"
Naya hovered, her eyes seemed to be glazed over. "I said, Why?"
Demi smiled again, it felt good to smile. She missed smiling and how it made her girl brought out the best in her , proved to her that true love was real. She was just lucky that Naya was so damn stubborn. "Because, through all the shit you still love me. And without you, i'd be dead today."
Naya leaned in to kiss the woman again. This time pulling her in close. Her skin was still so cold. She didn't like the fragile-Ness of Demi's body. But knew that this was still the woman she loved, and together everything would be okay.
There was a slight creak as the door opened, as Garrick walked into the room. "It got kind of quiet in here, just wanted to make sure everything was- OH MY GOD! Both of you! Break it up!" The two girls seemed to either being ignoring him, Or they were too lost in each other's heavy lip lock to register someone else was in the room. He had to stop this before someone else came in and he got suspended. He clapped his hands which made both of the girls flinch, eyes widening with shock.
Garrick grimaced , loud sounds were not a good idea around the two."Urm, Sorry about that." He said sheepishly. "Its just that.." He cleared his throat, his cheeks were red with an embaressed blush. "I could get in trouble if you two..You know..." He cleared his throat again."That escalated quickly."
Naya spoke first, entirely out of breath. "No, Sorry Dr Garrick. I should have tried to restrain myself..."
Demi raised a brow, chuckling. This brought upon a happy smile from the young doctor. Demi looked up at the man with pleading eyes. "Can she stay? Please... I kind of need her with me tonight. I promise that no articles of clothing will be removed in her stay..."
Garrick sighed. "You know i cant allow you two do that..."
Both of the woman gave him the most pathetic, puppy dog eyes he had ever seen, he even thought he heard Naya whimper.
"Please Garrick?" Naya whined. "I'll be good , I just want to spend the night with my future wife."
Demi beamed at the girl, her lips curling into a gitty smile.
Garrick raised an eyebrow. "Future wife?"
Naya nodded. "I dont have a ring , it was kind of spare of the moment. But yes, I asked Demi to Marry me."
"And I said yes." Demi answered, gaining a loving smile from the Latina.
Garrick sighed. "Ladies...You know as much as i want to.. i really cant..." Another bout of puppy dog eyes made the man sigh again. "But, I will talk to the attendants and nurses. See what i can arrange...No promises though."
Naya bowed her head. "Thank you Dr Garrick."
Garrick left the room, mumbling something about 'losing his license because of two epic love birds.' before leaving the door WIDE open.
Demi chuckled again , letting out a relieved sigh. "I never thought i would laugh again."
Naya hovered her hands around the woman's waist. "I never thought i'd hold you in my arms again." She said seriously. "Really Dem, A plague? I could never see you as such. You, ma'am are an angel."
Demi shuddered. "Please Naya, I really don't want to hear anything associated with religious beliefs right now. Maybe ever again after that Psycho did everything in the 'path of god.' "
Naya nodded, kissing the girl's neck. "He was a sick fuck ,but he can never hurt you again." She planted another kiss a little lower , her skin still felt like ice."Why are you so damn cold?"
Demi cocked her head to the side, trying not to become aroused by the woman's actions. "I havent really been eating well the last few weeks." She admitted. "I was too worried about how i was going to convince you to go and live your life without me." She grumbled. "Though." She said with a gasp as she felt the woman's lips again, slowly kissing down her neck line. "I failed." She bit her lip, trying to suppress any sound from escaping her lips. "N-naya. " She quivered. "We told him we wouldn't."
Naya still kissed along the girl's neck, humming into it slightly. 'And we wont." She said in a whisper. "Doesnt mean I cant kiss my girl who agreed to Marry this broken , sex charged , goofball."
Demi couldn't help but let out a small gasp as her mouth moved lower. "I broke out of here once, I can do it again..." She warned. "Then there will be nothing in the way.."
Naya stopped , chuckling. "No, I think we should really hold off for a while. Until you've regained your strength and all." She said with a wink.
Demi gritted her teeth. "The things i'm going to do to you when we get out of here..."
Naya smirked. "One thing at a time Love, One thing at a time."
Garrick returned minutes later, the two girls could sense that Garrick had felt the energy in the room, thank god he decided to ignore it.
"Well, They didn't like it. They don't think that its proper for someone who is not a patient or a Doctor to be in the ward with someone who is still checked in..." He said with a grimace.
Naya sighed, moving to stand off of the bed.
"But." Garrick began. Both of the girls looked up at him curiously. "I managed to convince them that it would HELP the patient if Ms Rivera stayed. " He gave them both a winning smile. "As long as you two BEHAVE, and the door stays wide, and completely open. Naya is free to spend the night. But only ONE night. Do you understand that you two?" He said, pointing a finger as if he were scolding children.
"Yes father..." Demi grumbled under her breath. This time, it was Naya's turn to laugh.
Garrick rolled his eyes. "I mean it you two, my job and reputation are on the line here. No sex. Please."
The two girls giggled again.
"Alright." Naya said with a wink. "We'll be good."
Demi held up her hand , straightening up slightly. "Scouts honor."
Naya turned to the girl, looking at her incredulously. "You were a scout? "
Demi let out a snort. "Nope ."
Garrick rolled his eyes. "I mean it you two..." he said in warning. "I'm leaving...but remember, door stays OPEN And people WILL be in to check on you."
The two girls nodded quickly, looking far too innocent.
Garrick grumbled, leaving the room, making sure to push the door open quite a bit more, lodging something in at the end just to make sure it stayed.
Both of the girls had chuckled at this.
-Present-
Needless to say, the just one night rule didn't hold much water when it came to Naya. Because of their good behavior she had been allowed to return. Each night, she curled the smaller girl in her arms , and each night. She felt how vulnerable the girl actually was.
Demi often whimpered , or even spoke in her sleep. Most of the things said were pleas , Naya was sure she was dreaming about the events that had recently transpired. She'd wake up, tears streaming down her cheeks, just of have Naya there to calm her down, tethering her to the real world and to safety.
As Garrick had predicted, Demi seemed to be vastly effected by the events. Her past didn't seem to be helping much. One night, Naya had been woken from her own nitemare to Demi stilling at the edge of the bed, sobbing uncontrollably. As she did since the first night, she held her close, easing her back to reality. Not to say Naya wasn't having glimpses herself.
Her body just wouldn't let her express them.
In her first few nights in the hospital room , she had repeating and looping images of Demi getting shot, Briggs falling to the ground, Erickson pleading with her to follow her final wish. She didnt scream, she didnt cry , she was rigid and cold. Her body had almost shut down in these times, leaving her to suffer in her own way. In this case, she appreciated the small gift. After the shock of the images resided, she was able to think clearly. Everyone had their own ways of coping. Her's was to keep it locked inside of her until she could find a adaquite way to release it.
These 'episodes' of hers were a blessing in disguise as she laid in the same bed as her future wife. She needed to be Demi's rock and keep her from falling over the edge again.
Even now as the clock read 2am. Her body stayed still as she stared at the ceiling,recalling her latest nitemare:
She had ran into the bathroom, her hands stained with Erickson's blood.
A voice in her head whispered ."You could have saved her."
The mirror was clouded, her eyes looked hollow and fearful. Immediately turning on the faucet to wash the blood from her arms.
The spicket at first ran cool and biting water that chilled her to the bone, attempting to wash away the blood from her flesh. But then sputtered, spewing hot, thick, and heavy blood.
She had yelled, turning off the 'water' , only for the faucet to burst, covering her with wave upon wave of the vile liquid. She had tried to get away, but everywhere she ran the blood had followed.
"You let her die." The voice whispered again.
She ran and ran, trying to avoid the voice. But it just followed, growing louder and more vicious.
"You're a monster, shes dead because of you."
She had burst through a closet door, slamming it shut. It seemed to stop the blood from oozing through. She thought the nitemare was over, that she had finally found sanctuary.
She moved to back into the wall, to curl into a ball and wait for this to end, when she ran into something that was not flat or clothing. Shaking, she turned around. Only to be met by a towering figure of a man, blazing in deep-red and burning flames. Only his eyes could be seen. The cold, murderous eyes of Karl Briggs.
"Demon..." He growled in an inhuman tone.
His hand rose, revealing talons that were laced with dripping acid. Bringing the tainted appendage down swiftly towards her throat.
When she had awoke, she awoke with a gasp, her eyes locking on a point in the room. She could feel trembling in the bed, but knew it was not her own, never once had she shook. After a few minutes, she was able to clear her thoughts, using the tricks and therapy her psychologists had provided to calm her down.
Still, the bed shook slightly. She turned to the source.
Demi was laying in a near fetal position, her eyes were shut tight as if trapped in the hellish universe her dream had taken her to.
Naya took a breath, wrapping her arms around the girl, pulling her into her body. "I'm here Demi." She whispered. "I will protect you."
At first, the girl still shook. But after a little while, it subsided. Her body as relaxed as it had been all those times in the safe house.
She kissed the back of the girl's neck, hovering her lips on the girl's skin. It had become warmer , more welcoming. Her presence here in the past week had almost helped Demi recover to the point where she could leave. All that really seemed to break her spirit were these dreams...
Naya couldnt sleep for the rest of the night. She was terrified to fall back asleep in fear that she would meet those dark and evil eyes once more, not to mention that Demi was sleeping rather soundly.
Even in sleep were connected. She thought to herself.
As the sun rose, Naya kept her head rested on the girl's shoulder. Her body tangled around the woman like armor. she wouldn't be alone. No matter how many nitemares the smaller girl had, Naya would be there to take them away. They would get through this.
...
Demi woke up. Not out of terror ,or shock. But with a small groan. "Naya?" The girl croaked.
Naya shifted, her arms pulling the girl's back into her. "Dem?"
"Your awake?" Demi said groggy. "Its like..8am. Wernt you the one that said before 9am should be illegal?"
Naya chuckled. "Couldnt sleep, i got caught up with a certain girl who was sleeping so soundly in my arms." She whispered.
Demi smiled, her hands covering the Latina's under the covers.
The pair heard footsteps enter the room. Two voices filled the walls, shaking the two from their haze.
"Good, you two are awake." It was Tom, and he didnt sound very happy.
Naya reluctantly sat up, yawning rather loud. She knew why the man was upset. Demi had all but shut him out too, despite the fact that in allot of ways Tom was like her brother who had the power and ability to make decisions for her. But Naya knew Tom being here in the room was a good sign.
Garrick followed not too far behind the scowling man , his normal clipboard in his hands. "Well, You two want some good news for once?"
Demi sat up, but scooted into Naya, earning an eye roll from her agent. "Whats up Garrick?"
"Well Ms Lovato, it seems the Doctors in this wing find you fit enough to be released." Garrick said happily.
"When!?" The two girls almost shouted with glee.
The two men stared at the girls, blinking a few times from their outburst. Apparently , they hadn't fully woken up.
Garrick chuckled. "Today ,actually. In a few hours to be exact. "
"We were expecting to have to use a vice grip to A) pull you two apart. And B) Wake you two up seeing its before 9am." Tom grumbled . "Not that you really needed me here to do it. But seeing i AM your designated person that can sign off on legal things. You'd think I should be here."
Demi winced hearing the hurt in the man's voice, which in turn made Naya glare at him.
Tom saw the glare, rasing his hands up in surrender. "Sorry! I cant help it, Naya wasnt the only one that was here the entire time!"
"Later..." Naya all but growled. "We can talk about it later."
Tom nodded. "Anyways, I've already signed off on it. " For the first time he gave Demi a sad smile. "They have some conditions though. "
"Conditions?" Demi asked.
"Yes, They want you to have at least 3 documented visits with a Psychologist for the next month..." He gave the girl a grimace. "Sorry Dem..."
Demi looked down, sighing. "I hate shrinks..."
Naya wrapped her hand around the girl's waist. "Well, the guy i'm seeing is good. Maybe you can get in to see him?"
Demi looked over to the girl, rasing her eyebrow. "Your seeing a shrink?"
Naya nodded, speaking in a guilty tone. "Yeah...I Haven't just been to the studio to film when i've had to leave you here..."
Demi stared at her for a moment before nodding. "Okay...If you think he's good ,then i think i can trust them." She gave the girl a small smile.
Tom rolled his eyes again. "You two...Your so cute its disgusting."
Garrick could only smile at the girls. He seemed genuinely happy for them. "I can talk with Dr. Malak tonight. I'm sure he'd take you in."
Demi glanced over to Garrick , nodding. "Thank you..."
Garrick bowed his head, saying something about finishing up some paperwork before he left the room.
Tom however still stood in the room, his arms were crossed as his foot tapped slightly. After a few minutes of intense glaring between the trio. He let out a sigh. 'I give up!" He exclaimed. "Okay, Yeah im slightly angry about being taken out of the loop. But i just cant stay mad at you two..."
Demi chuckled at the man. "Sorry Tom, Its been kinda rough."
"I can imagine." He said seriously. "But really Dem, what are your plans now that your not on the Glee Team anymore? Are you still going to stay in L.A?"
Demi flinched. She had forgotten that Dani had been written off the show. She looked up to Naya for guidance.
Naya just seemed to smile. "Well, you didnt think i'd let my Fiance walk out of here with no place to go did you?"
Tom blinked. "Fiance?" He looked at both of them, his mouth dropped. "Fiance?!" He stamped his foot again. "Okay, WHEN did this happen?"
Naya grinned evilly, so Garrick hadn't told him. "A week ago..." Demi looked up to Naya, resting her head on the girl's chest.
Tom looked from Demi, to Naya, then back to Demi. His glare could only be described as crazed. "Demetria Lovato. If i am not your BEST MAN. I will never speak to you again!"
Naya frowned. "Hey! I'M the Grooms-woman! Demi is so wearing the dress!"
Demi shot her a look. " Is that so Rivera? Your sticking me with the fucking white dress?"
Naya pecked the girl gently on the lips. "It doesn't have to be white..."
Demi rolled her eyes, crossing her arms childishly. "We'll talk about this later."
Tom however was tapping his chin. "That would make the Best Bridesman..."
Both of the girls began to laugh at the man , who in turn gave them a wink.
"You just wait until I tell Chris, He's going to go wedding planner on you two." Tom said with a chuckle.
Naya blinked, her cheeks flushed red for a moment before she looked down. Completely guilty.
Tom stared at Naya, then narrowed his eyes. "If you tell me you already told him, and he didn't tell me. Then i am going to a children's toy store, picking up a massive blow up squeaky hammer, and assaulting both of you with it."
Naya gave the man her most winning smile. "Then I wont tell you?"
The sound Tom gave off could only be described as a mixture of annoyance, rage , and frustration. " THE WORLD WILL KNOW OF THE SQUEAKY HAMMER DOOM!" He raised his fist, shaking it dramatically in the air.
The room was all but silent after this outburst. The two girls were staring at the man like he was insane.
It was Demi who burst out laughing first,practically collapsing in the Latina's arms, unable to hold herself up. Naya squeezed the girl laughing hard , her eyes closed as she gasped for air.
Tom crossed his arms again. "Well, anyways. Wheres the new apartment? That way i can tell the driver where to take you two once we get out of here..."
Naya just snorted, mumbling something under her breath.
"What? "Tom asked, his voice almost rasing an octave. " I feel bad for anyone who shares the building with you two! They'll never get any sleep!"
"Yeah, well. I've got it taken care of." She said with a smug smile.
Both Demi and Tom stared at her , confusion etched on their faces.
Naya sat up straight, her shoulders rising proudly. "I bought us a house." She said in a sing songy tone.
...
