Thank you for reading, and a extra special thanks to Gillian Kearney Fan for reviewing :) Sorry for any mistakes but please read on.
Greg hurried to AAU to find Sahira. "Where is she?" he asked Dr Hemmingway. "Where's who?" he replied clueless.
"Sahira..." he said, as he spotted her. He rushed over to her side, followed by the other doctor. "What happened?" he asked.
"You don't know? She was in the lift," Luc answered.
"Have you run tests?" he demanded, running his hand through his hair.
"Yes of course, although it may surprise you, I am a doctor,". He paused. "No permanent damage. Just a knock on the head. We are waiting till she wakes up to see if their is any memory loss,".
Greg let out a sigh of relief. "Have you called her husband?" he asked. He nodded. "He can't come; he's looking after their children,". After that Luc left to continue his rounds, leaving Greg alone with Sahira.
He sat down next to her, holding her hand in his. When Sahira finally woke (after what seemed like forever to Greg) she sat bolt upright. "Woah, what am I doing here?" she asked hoarsely. Greg smiled, relieved she was fine.
"I was hoping you'd tell me that," he smirked. "What's the last thing you remember, Sahira?".
"Um...I was in the lift leaving and then...it...I hit my head," she said, recalling he details slowly. She turned to look at him, questioningly, to see if he knew any more. He shrugged. "Well, if there's nothing wrong with me, I might as well go home,". She started to remove the covers, but Greg pushed her gently back down. "You will have to stay, so you can be monitored overnight,". She was a patient. Defeated, she lied back down, and they fell into an awkward silence. Several times they attempted to make conversation, with no luck, until she turned to look at him again. Sahira took in the heavy bags under his eyes as she placed a hand on his face. "You should go home. You look tired," she sighed.
"Thanks... I'm not going to leave the one I love though, until I know she is perfect again," he said, looking sheepish. She looked at him confused.
"You love me?".
"Yes. You don't remember?". She shook her head. "What do you remember?".
"I remember being on Darwin, and being upset about...something. It's all a bit vague though, to be honest," she admitted.
"What day is it?".
"Friday the 6th April,".
"Its the 10th now,".
"Oh. You love me?" She repeated again. He nodded. She'd missed all of it: the fight, her resignation, her husband leaving her and him admitting his feelings. It was a chance for him to replay those days again, in a different way. "Do you love me too?".
"Yes," she stammered, her eyes brimming with tears.
He looked up at her. "Really?". She let out a timid laugh. "Isn't it obvious? What we've had over the past year... all those stolen kisses. Would it have been worth it if I didnt?" she whispered.
"To be honest, I don't know what we have had. When I asked before, well you didn't reply,".
"Really? Well, I suppose I didn't want to hurt Rafi,".
"Do you love him?". She fidgeted uncomfortably. She didn't want to admit it to Greg, of all people. Because if she didn't say it, it meant it wasn't true. She shrugged.
"For the children. I don't want them growing up without q proper family. As a doctor, you see what it can do to people,".
"Well, when you leave...".
"I'm leaving? When? Why?" she asked.
"Rafi said he'd leave without you. So you're following him...". She interupted him with a sweet short kiss.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"For what?.
"For everything,".
He nodded. "It doesn't matter. It was worth it,".
"What else happened?".
"Um...nothing much. Just the usual chaos that happens in a hospital," he lied. "You should sleep now,".
She nodded, and relaxed. Sahira closed her eyes. Greg soon followed her into an uneasy slumber.
When he woke up, the bed next to him was empty and perfectly made. The ward was noisy. Stretching, he stood up, then walked over to the desk of AAU. "Where has Sahira gone?".
"Home. Discharged herself early this morning," Eddi replied.
He sighed. Then looked at his watch. It was 9 in the morning. "I didn't want to wake you. Oh, and by the way I told Jac you wouldn't be able to make work today," she added. He thanked her gratefully, before making his way out of the hospital. Again. Honestly, he was upset. Would he see Sahira again? It was unlikely that she'd come back to work, now seeing she only had a week left anyway. It was time to move on - but he couldn't stop loving her just like that.
Please review ;)
