Chapter 2

Everyone was in disbelief that Gisele could have survived the fall, relieved but surprised.

Hobbs had immediately called for emergency services to get help for Gisele and the team had followed the ambulance in their cars not willing to leave Gisele.

It was a rough two weeks for the team waiting for Gisele to wake up from her coma. The doctors had insisted that it was the best way to keep her alive, to allow her body time to heal itself.

Han didn't leave her side, he wasn't going to break his promise to her this time. He wasn't going to let her go.

Hobbs and the rest of the team spent the two weeks visiting Gisele and Han and organising their return home to LA for when Gisele woke up.

Han was sitting in the chair beside Gisele's bed looking at the bandages around her left leg, the splint and bandages holding her left ankle in place and finally the bandages around her ribs. He couldn't believe that after all of those injuries she had somehow survived and was safe. Han slowly raised his hand to Gisele's face and gently caressed her cheek frowning slightly at the gash on her head that was covered by a piece of bandage material taped to her forehead. Han rose from his seat and lightly kissed Gisele's cheek, as he sat down he noticed Gisele's eyelids move.

Gisele's eyes started to flutter open and squint at the bright light above her.

Han quickly grabbed the remote control for the bed and found the dial to turn the brightness of the light down slightly.

This helped Gisele to open her eyes fully. Gisele went to speak but realised that her throat was too dry and tight to form words.

Han grabbed the plastic cup that was sitting on the bedside table and poured water into it from the jug. He handed the cup to Gisele and helped her to drink it.

Gisele smiled gratefully once she was finished.

"I thought I'd lost you," Han said softly after he put the cup back onto the table.

"I'll never leave you," Gisele whispered, her throat still tight from not speaking for two weeks.

Han knew that she was right, even if one of them died they would forever remain in the heart of the one that they left behind.

"There's something that I didn't think I was going to get the chance to tell you," Han started, he looked Gisele straight in the eye, "I love you Gisele."

Gisele smiled, "I love you too," she said slightly louder than when she spoke before.

Han's smile spread the length of his face as he realised that he wasn't ever going to be alone. He decided that he'd better press the call button to get the doctor in to check on Gisele.

The doctor looked her over and was pleased with what he saw, "your ribs are healing nicely, the gash on your head is nearly closed up, the cut on your leg is also nearly closed up, and your ankle is healing well."

At that moment Dom walked in and grinned when he saw Gisele was awake. He gave her a gentle hug and turned to look at the doctor.

"When can we take her home to LA?" Dom asked the doctor.

"It will take time for the breaks in your bones to heal but I will authorise you to return to Los Angeles as long as you are on a gurney so that you don't move and cause more damage to yourself," the doctor said to Gisele who nodded in understanding, "however I will not authorise it until she is able to stand without getting a headache, it will enable me to make sure that she doesn't have any bleeding on her brain and a few other things," the doctor said, this time speaking to Han and Dom who nodded their agreement.

"The last thing we want is for Gisele to have to stay here longer than necessary so we'll do our part to help," Dom convinced the doctor who then left the three.

"How are you feeling?" Dom asked Gisele slightly worriedly.

"I'm sore but I feel alright," Gisele said honestly.

"No headaches?" Han asked.

"None, but I have been lying down for a while," Gisele responded.

"Do you want to sit up?" Dom asked.

Gisele nodded, "It might loosen up my muscles a bit and get me out of here sooner."

"Gisele you just woke up, there's no need to rush it. We're not in a hurry," Han said slightly worried that Gisele was rushing her recovery unnecessarily.

Gisele smiled softly at Han, "I'm fine I just don't want to be lying here forever."

Han was hesitant to let Gisele do this but knew that he wouldn't be able to stop her so he helped Gisele to get into a sitting position. Dom pressed the buttons to get the bed to sit at the level she wanted it so that Gisele would be comfortable.

Gisele had an arm around Han's shoulders as he held her up to help her to keep her balance while Dom maneuvered the bed. Gisele felt pain rip through her front and realised that it might not be as simple as she had hoped to get out of there.

Once Dom had fixed the bed Gisele was able to sit up more comfortably leaning against the mattress. Han saw the pain in her eyes as he helped her lean back slightly.

"You're not fine," he whispered so that Dom wouldn't hear.

Gisele frowned at Han and then turned to look at Dom, "where is everyone else?"

Dom smiled, "they're coming. Mia and Brian left to get Jack last week, they're going to meet us back in LA. Roman, Tej and Letty are on their way in, they were just finishing up some details about our freedom with Hobbs."

Gisele nodded in understanding, "can you give us a minute?"

Dom nodded, "I'll go wait for the others."

Dom left and Han looked Gisele in the eye.

"Be honest, how do you feel?" Han asked.

Gisele sighed, "I feel sore but I want to go to LA, I want to go home. I can handle the pain, I've had worse."

Han nodded, "I know but it doesn't mean that you should push your luck, I don't want you to get worse I want you to get better."

Four days later the doctor agreed to allow Gisele to go home to LA with the others and he organised the transport.

Gisele was still in a fair amount of pain but she hid it well.

Everyone was thrilled that they could all go home together.

Gisele smiled two days later when her family arrived to take her home.

"Let's get out of this crazy country," Roman said happily as he hugged Gisele.

"Just waiting for the release papers to be signed," Gisele smiled.

"She managed to convince the doctor to let her on the plane without being on a gurney. He agreed as long as we go first class and Gisele has her leg up the whole time," Han told the group as they each hugged Gisele.

Tej frowned slightly, "how'd you manage that?"

Gisele smirked, "I made a very generous offer to the hospital on behalf of my dear friends Tej and Roman and he couldn't refuse it."

Letty, Han, and Dom laughed as Roman and Tej looked hurt.

"How did you get their money?" Letty asked.

Gisele smirked, "they've both been here and left their wallets on the table before so I took their credit cards and well now they owe their banks quite a lot of money."

"Why didn't you take their debit cards with their actual money?" Dom asked curiously, mostly he was just enjoying watching Tej and Roman squirm.

"Honestly I didn't know if they would have that kind of money sitting on their cards, I figured it would be in their savings and unaccessible from the cards," Gisele explained.

"Nicely done," Dom smirked.

Within the next hour Gisele was released and they were all off to the airport to fly home.
