A/N: so here is the long overdue chapter 8. I am sorry for the wait. I hope I have made it worth it.

Chapter 8
Larry and Glenn arrived early to the hospital so Larry could speak with Dr Taylor. Glenn's job was to keep Mark and Misty occupied until Larry and the Dr come by with Misty's results. He was really worried bout them. These results could make or break Misty's future but he had a feeling it could also do the same to his friend too. He hadn't seen Mark ever been like this with someone he just met. He could understand the fascination with Misty though he wouldn't say out loud to anyone about it. Glenn thought bout how cute she was when he first saw her in Marks car the day before. Sleeping and looked peaceful... until she woke up an punched him.
He giggled and grinned and rubbed his eye remembering it. 'She can sure pack a punch that's for sure' he thought to himself.
"You alright Glenn?". Asked Larry
"Yeah I'm good Larry. Lets get this over and done with so we can find out what happens".
They both walked to the reception desk and spoke to the nurse to see if Dr Taylor was there.
"His office is down to the left and 3rd door on the right" The nurse told Larry. "He is expecting you now".
With one last look to Glenn, Larry walked down towards the Dr's office. Hoping and praying for some sort of good news.
Glenn watched him walking away and wished he could be a fly on the wall in the office. He would rather be with Larry right now then going ot keep Misty and Mark occupied. Mark is smart enough to see through what's going on but hopefully he wont say anything and go along with it. Glenn doesn't want Misty to worry at all until Larry comes back with news... Good news hopefully.
"Ma'am is it ok for me to go through to see her now?" he asked the nurse.
"Technically you still have half an hour until visiting time officially starts but if you behave and don't make a sound then I'm sure i wont say anything". The nurse smiled and winked at him.
"Thank you, I promise i will behave... Scouts honour". Grinning with his fingers in the scouts salute.
He walked down the corridor to the lifts that would take him a few floors up to where Misty's room is. Root Beer in hand and a coffee for Mark too, he stopped outside the room and took a deep breath and opened the door.
What he saw was both shocking and heart breaking. Misty and Mark were both asleep peacefully and both in the bed together. Mark was spooning Misty from behind but both looked relaxed. Glenn was shocked because Mark never in all the years they have known each other liked to spoon any of his wives or girlfriends.
"I Hate spooning, makes me get a dead arm and too hot and stuffy.". Glenn remember Mark saying.
It was heart breaking as this could be the end of something before it even started. In that moment or realising the seriousness of the outcome of the results, Glenn literally prayed for some good news.
Lost in thoughts Glenn felt someone poking his arm. "Sir can you move out of the way so i can go check her chart please?".
"Sure, sorry". He said. "Excuse me but how long have they been like that?". he asked the nurse.
"Most of the night, its really sweet. It's refreshing to see two people who love each other and actually care for each other". Glenn just looked at her and silently
"What makes you think they love each other?". He asked wondering.
"You only ever spend a night in the hospital if you really care for that person. If you love them enough you share the bed instead of in a chair. I've been doing this job for many years now and this is a rare sight. Look how relaxed they are". Glenn looked over and agreed. They do look relaxed. Mark is even cautious in his sleep of Misty's back. Misty was holding onto Marks hand that was draped over her. Cuddled into him.
The nurse went past Glenn and checked the monitors beside Misty's bed and then made notes on her chart at the end of her bed. remaining as quiet as she could not to disturb them. As she left the room she turned to Glenn.
"Do you know that gentleman over there?".
As Glenn turned around he almost dropped the coffee and Root Beer. He did know the man the nurse pointed out. Never had he expected him to show up at the hospital. Especially just for someone like a trainee. He walked over to where the man was standing.
"Fancy seeing you here Sir. Hope everything is ok." Glenn said
"We will soon find out, won't we"... He said.
