A Doctor's Man

Chapter 7 - A Visit

Hey guys! Here's Chapter 7!

Chloe sat outside a particular room in the Huerta Memorial hospital. She was waiting patiently for the status of John. She was worried, but she had faith in the doctors working on and with him. She knew some friends here, and they guaranteed he'll make it.

She stood up with a concerned face when a doctor exited the room, he saw her.

"Ms. Michel?" He asked.

"Yes?" She asked back, playing with her hands nervously, despite her calmness just moments ago.

"We done the best we can for The Commander, and I say..." He paused.

Chloe's heart was beating faster as she listened for his answer.

"He's going to make it," he said with a smile.

Chloe smiled with delight, "Is he awake?"

He nodded, "Yes, Ma'am, he is, and he's asked to see you, so let me get out of your way."

"Thank you!" She said to him as she walked past.

He nodded as he walked off. She entered the room.

She looked to see John, who looked to see her, he smiled, and she smiled back. She went over to him.

"How are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm doing alright, still hurts in some areas, but I'll make it," he replied.

"What about your implants?"

"They could have been smashed from the beating I took, but they weren't, and I'm grateful for that."

"You had me very worried when you couldn't come out of that debris, I thought you were gone..." She said to him, looking away with a tear.

John lifted his arm to gently grasp her chin, directing her at him.

"I'm alive, Chloe. That's what matters, right?"

She nodded with a smile. John brushed her tear away, smiling back at her.

"I wasn't going to let death take me that day. I was fighting with every fiber of my being to come back to you, your beautiful smiles, and wonderful eyes," he said to her.

She still had her smile as she bent down to give him a passionate kiss.

"So, What happens between us after you recover?" She asked as she pulled a chair up to sit down.

"Well, first of all, I'm going to spend time with you before I get sent back to duty," he answered.

She smiled again, "What are we going to do?" She asked curiously as she linked hands with him.

"I don't know, maybe a night out? A trip to a planet? Thessia, perhaps?" He asked, smiling, rubbing his thumb on the backside of her hand.

"Really?"

He nodded, "Yep, unless you have something else you'd like to do?"

"I...don't have anything in mind," she replied.

John shrugged, "That's alright, if you can't think of something, I'm sure we'll find that something to do."

"But, with your injuries, wouldn't that be awhile?" Chloe asked.

"No, not at all, it will be very soon, In fact. Whether the docs like it or not. I want to be with MY doctor," John said to her.

She smiled, "I'll be waiting,"

"And I'll be coming," he finished for her.

She laughed as she leaned over to give him a kiss.

"I'll come see you again later, ok? You're going to need the rest," she said to him as she stood up.

He nodded, "I'll be here,"

She walked toward the door, then turned upon hearing her name,

"I love you, Chloe, remember that," he said as he gave one last smile.

"I love you too, John, and I won't forget," she replied.

He laid his head back to rest, Chloe left the room silently.

She smiled to herself as she walked down the hall, passing by two Alliance bodyguards for the Commander. The Doctor had something to look forward to.

It was short, but I think it was good!

I think one or two more chapters before ME2!
