Kyleigh's Prov:
-2 days later.-
I was still beside Ethen's side, at Erudite. "Kyleigh..." I heard his voice croaked, They had taken the breathing tube out this morning. I sat up, looking at him. "I'm Here. I'm here baby!" I said, caressing his hair and cheek. "I'm here baby." I whispered, kissing his forehead.
"I.." He started. "Don't, apologize. I'm the one who should be sorry... I saw that Amanda girl flirting with you... This is my fault. Can you ever forgive me?" His eyes were locked on mine, as he nodded, pulling me down kissing me soft. "Let me get the doctor. He'll want to see you. I'll be right back." He refused to let me go, But I hit the call button.
Kyleigh to Shauna and Zeke: He's awake and talking to me.
Kyleigh to Eric and Tris: I'm sorry for running out on you guys the other day.
Shauna and Zeke to Kyleigh: Thank god! We'll come up in a bit! Give him an earful!
Eric and Tris to Kyleigh: don't apologize, Shauna and Zeke told us. How is he?
Kyleigh to Eric and Tris: He's alive, and awake... He even said my name.
The Doc came in and said "Hey Kyleigh. And Ethen, I'm Dr. Jennings. I've been taking care of you, for the past couple days. How are you feeling?" Ethen said "Thirsty." Dr. Jennings said "I'll let your wife help you, with this." He handed me a cup as I helped him sit up, and helped take a few small sips.
"Awesome. You Dauntless are tough as nails." I blushed and said "When can I take him home?"
"AS soon as he eats something solid. Like Ice cream." I looked to my husband, who nodded. I turned back to the doc and said "Do you have Rocky Road?"
The doc said "Yes." I said "Can we both have a bowl?" He nodded and sent the nurse to get it. Ethen and I ate our snack just as his parents came in. "ETHEN PEDRAD! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" They yelled.
Ethen said "I couldn't live in a world where she was ignoring me..." I said "I'm sorry... I wasn't trying to... I was just trying to sort through my own thoughts... I... I was scared you didn't want me anymore..."
"Never scare us like that again." Mum and Pop said, as they hugged him. "All married couples fight."
We finally went home, Ethen was in a wheelchair till his leg was out of the cast. Mum and Pop insisted, since he wouldn't use crutches, and they couldn't get a walking boot. "Babe..." He whined. "I know sweetheart. I know." I said, getting dinner. "You need to eat first before you take the meds." I said, finishing up and putting the pizza in the oven, and set the timer. But before I went over to my husband, I grabbed him some more Rocky Road, and a drink, before going over to him.
I gave him his bowl, as I got his meds. I said "I should've talked to you earlier..." Ethen took my hand in his, before saying "Ssh. I know you saw it in the control room, and I know it looked bad. I don't blame you for not talking to me... I thought you'd come around after a day... but when you didn't, I thought... I thought you were giving up on us..."
I said "I love you so much Ethen." He said "I love you too, baby. Always and forever." I fed him the ice cream, as the timer went off. "I'll be right back." I kissed his head, getting the pizza out and a couple slices on a plate, and returned to my husband. "Hey." He said, as I sat beside him giving him his medicine, while I helped him drink.
We ate quietly, before I helped him into his chair. "I think my husband's ready for a nap."I grinned, as we went to our room.
