Chapter 3
The next day when Beth and Bill had got to the hospital, Beth had ordered Molly to go back to their hotel and get freshened up and her head down for a few hours, 'I've forgotten to bring a change of clothing or wash kit with me, I left in such a rush yesterday' said Molly, 'Its okay dear we brought you some clothes you left at ours and when to the supermarket last night to get you some toiletries' replied Bill, Molly was so shocked she couldn't Speak, she just nodding and smiled, Half hour later Molly said 'Right I better go and phone Kingy, and get some sleep before I fall asleep,'. Charles just smiled and said he would be okay and he'd see her in a while.
Once Molly was back at the hotel room, she had phoned Kingy and explained the situation and he agreed to extend her leave by a week, she had a quick shower and climbed in to bed and fell asleep, before her head had hit the pillow, Molly had woken up about 10:30 had another shower and changed her clothes and headed back to the hospital, once at the hospital she stopped by Costa's and picked up 3 Coffees, a tea and couple of sandwiches and headed back ICU, Molly had missed morning rounds, 'How did morning rounds go' asked Molly, 'very good, Major Watts says if I remain stable for another 48 hours, I will be moved to a normal ward, and hopefully discharged by the end of the week,' replied Charles with a big grin, 'Oh Charlie that's fantastic, Kingy has extended my leave so I don't have to be back at barracks until end of the week.
A week later Molly was due back at barracks in a two days time and Charles had been progressing so well with Physiotherapy and was ready to be discharged back down to bath and would continue with Physiotherapy down there, When they got back to bath, Molly was about to book her train ticket back to barracks for the next day but Bill told Molly he'll drop her back to barracks, as he had some business to take care of in Leeds, Molly agreed to it and thanked him for the lift. They all decided on Chinese take out as neither Molly and Beth could be bothered to cook, they talked all evening about loads of things and all went to bed about 11pm.
The next day Molly said goodbye to Charles and Beth, she said she'd try and get down next weekend, depending on her duties and Bill and Molly drove off back up to barracks, She arrived at barracks early and decided to report in early and get her belonging squared away, She changed into her fatigues and reported to Captain Kings office, checking her beret was straight, She knocked on his door and waited for an answer 'enter' came Kingy voice, Molly marched in and stood to attention and said 'Corporal Dawes reporting back for duty sir' 'welcome back Dawes, stand easy just a few things' said Kingy, 'yes sir, thank you sir' said Molly, 'right firstly you request to live off barracks is still pending, secondly we are to start pre-deployment training tomorrow morning as we are been deployed to Syria to help manage the local refugee camps in the area ' stated Kingy 'thank you sir' replied Molly, 'secondly how is he?' asked Kingy, 'not to bad sir, just got to do his exercises sir' Molly said with a smile, 'that's good to hear Dawes' asked, Kingy, after a talking about a few different things she had missed whilst on leave, Kingy had dismissed Molly, before she left his office she decided to tell him that she and Charles we're trying again but taking things slowly, Whilst Kingy had said he was happy for her and also reminded her about PT session tomorrow morning.
Molly entered the mess hall and saw the lads messing around, Brains Mansfield and Fingers had their backs to the door, So Molly decided to creep up on the on them signalling to Monk ,Rab and Kinders not to give the game away, when she got to them she said 'Awright you bunch of cockwombles, I'm back' and she watch the three lads just out of the skins and Molly burst out laughing, 'jeez Moll, give a guy a heart attack why don't' said Fingers trying to be cross, 'how is he Moll' asked Mansfield, As Molly told them all about it, and the results of the investigation, she decided to leave the bit, about them trying again, to last, knowing the lads wouldn't exactly be happy about it, Brains was the first one to ask if She was sure about it, but after she reassured them it was what they both wanted and wasn't going to rush anything they accepted Molly' choice but Fingers Said 'Well if he hurts you again Mol, he won't just have us 6 to deal with, we'll get Dangles, Baz and Nude-Nut up to sort him out' 'thanks lads, said Molly, She loved the lads so much and appreciated how much they looked out for her, specially after everything that happen with Charles and Georgie, they were like her big brothers she never wanted, being the eldest in her family she was the one who was always looking after them and herself, she never had people looking out for her until she met the lads from 2 section
A/N 1: I am not sure about how soldiers are informed off deployment, I have tried looking on the British Army website but couldn't find out anything.
A/N: I know the layout of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham and surrounding areas really well as I live 15 minutes and have been to the hospital many many times
