Chapter 2.
Sara sat Gil on the bed and looked at the back of his head, she could see the blood dripping onto his shirt "Gil, I'm just going to get the medical kit, I'll be right back okay." she signed to him and received a small nod as reply. Going into the bathroom first Sara got a wash cloth and soaked it under the tap before going back into the bedroom and placing it on the back of Gil's head and signing for him to hold it there, which he slowly did. She heard footsteps going down the stairs and new that Jim had put the kit on the top stair. She made sure that the cloth was held firmly then walked out of the room to the stairs and took a deep breath, to calm herself down, before picking up the first aid kit and walking back into the room.
As gently as she could Sara started to clean up the back of Gil's head and found that she could see a lot of bone through the mats of hair and blood leaning in front of him she signed that he needed to go to the hospital to get it seen too, but when Gil looked up at her with scared, pleading eyes she knew he would not go, because last time they had tried to get him committed after being found sitting under a tree in the local park with his loaded service weapon on his lap.
"How about I call doc to come and see you, will that be okay." she signed and got a slightly hesitant nod. After placing a dressing on the back of his head and getting him changed into clean clothes, Sara watched as he lay down and almost immediately he fell into an exhausted sleep. Brushing her hand through his curls one last time before she left the room and went down stairs.
Sara ignored the others in her living room and went into the kitchen to call doc.
"Hi Sara what can I do for you." Al Robbins said as a greeting.
"Hi doc, can you come and see Gil for me, he wont go to the hospital after last time and he has really hurt the back of his head."
"What has he done." Al asked starting to sound worried.
"He was hitting the back of his head against the wall, I don't know how long he was doing it but it looks really bad and I can see bone."
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can, and if it's as bad as you say then try and keep him awake if you can."
"He's already asleep. I think he's exhausted, he's only getting a few hours sleep at the moment and then wakes up with nightmares." Sara said on the verge of tears.
"I'll be there in five minutes, it will be okay."
"Okay, thanks doc." as Sara was putting her phone away she felt someone put their arm around her shoulders and turned to find Jim beside her. At his concerned look Sara started to sob and held onto him.
"Hey, what's wrong." he asked in a soothing tone as he held her.
Slowly Sara pulled herself together and moved from his arms "I just hate seeing him like this, so helpless. Are the others still here."
"Yeah, I think they're in shock at seeing him like that as well. Do you want me to get rid of them."
"Yeah, tell them I'm sorry but I have to be here for Gil at the moment." she said looking at the door.
"No problem, I'll call you later okay."
"Thanks, Jim." Sara waited until the others had left before coming out of the kitchen, she was just about to go back upstairs when there was a knock at the door. She opened the door to doc and he walked in. "He's upstairs."
They made their way into the bedroom but Gil was no longer in the bed, Sara noticed the bathroom light was on and walked slowly in. She heard a noise from behind the door and looked. She found Gil sitting wedged in between the door and the bath. Gently she put her hand on his shoulder and he spoke.
"Mom, I'm scared and I have a bad head ache, can you help me." he said in a quiet voice.
It broke Sara's heart to hear him talking like that "Gil, baby can you get up for me please."
"Mom… Sara." he said looking up at her "Sara… please help me." he said as he started to cry again.
"Gil, I'll do what ever I can, can you get up." tears started to form in her eye's and she had to blink them away.
Slowly Gil started to stand up, with Sara's help. She led them out of the bathroom and back over to the bed and made him sit down. Doc already had a pair of gloves on and started to examine his head. After a few minutes he looked at Sara "It's not that bad but it could do with a few stitches in it. Can you hold his head still for a moment."
Sara knelt down in front of Gil and signed to him what was about to happen. Gil leaned forward and lay his head on Sara's shoulder with his face towards her neck, then wrapped his arms around her. Sara motioned to doc that he could start. Gil flinched a few times but apart from that he didn't move. When doc was finished he helped Sara to get Gil into bed, seeing as he had fallen asleep again on Sara's shoulder. They made their way down through the living room and into the kitchen where Sara started the coffee pot.
"Thanks for coming doc. He's getting worse isn't he." she asked quietly while looking out the window.
"Sara, we both know that it takes time to get over loosing someone like that, especially when they have been living with you for a long time."
"I know, I was here for most of it, she was a fighter and held on until she knew that he was happy." she poured their drinks and they sat at the table.
"I met Gil's mom when she first moved in with him, at that time they said she only had a few months to live but I think that being here kept her going for the extra three years."
"Yeah she was a good woman, I just wish there was some way I could take his pain away."
"Sara, I'm going to sign both of you off on compassionate grounds, he needs someone with him all the time, and I think you would be the best person for him at the moment."
"I would love to do that but Ecklie would have both of us fired for having a relationship."
"Don't you worry about Ecklie I'll talk to him and sort it." while he had been talking to Sara he had got a pad out of his bag. "You need to get this filled immediately, the first one is an anti-depressant , the second one is for a pain killer and antibiotic and the third one will help him sleep. If you want to go get them now I'll wait here until you get back." he offered.
"Thanks doc , I'll be back as soon as I can, there is a pharmacy a few roads over." she said getting up and giving him a hug before heading out of the door.
In her car on the way back Sara wondered what doc was going to say to Ecklie and how he would take it. Pulling up in front of their house she took a few moments and wondered what the next few weeks would hold for them and how Gil would handle the news that he was about to become a father for the second time, she had wanted to tell him for a few days now but after his mom had passed away and the fact that Gil had completely gone to pieces she had decided that it wasn't the right time and after today she would wait for a little longer.
