Thank you everyone for your reviews they hlways mean a lot to me but with this one they mean more especially as its not my fav and I was considering scrapping it at one point xx Enough of me rambling on with the story x
Myles woke the following morning feeling more rested than he had in a long time; turning his gaze towards the face of Lucy he knew she was the reason. Even though his position had moved slightly during the night their hands were still joined together it was as if neither one of them wanted to let go, like they were almost afraid to let go.
"Good morning Angel" he whispered slightly "How are you? Come on Luce it's time to wake up?" he continued hoping that she would listen to him and open her eyes but she didn't, she just lay there no movement, no talking, no nagging, no yelling, nothing the room was silent apart from the hissing and beeping of the machines she was connected to.
Myles sighed, he knew her being unconscious was better for her at the moment while she recovered but he craved her smile, her eyes and her smile; it was only then would he believe she truly was alive. He sat there again as he had in the last few hours talking to her, he told her about what the weather was like, read a chapter from her favourite book which, thanks to Sue, he now had in the room with him, he talked about how Bobby and Tara were now officially a couple thanks to one if not both of them finally confessing their feelings for each other; he basically filled the next few hours with whatever he could think of.
His conversation with her was interrupted after two hours by Caroline Adams entering the room
"Good afternoon Myles" she said as she entered
"Good afternoon Caroline, how is she?"
"She's doing good Myles" she replied after checking her patient "I am slightly concerned that she hasn't woken up yet but each patient is different, some take hours to wake up some take days, if she hasn't woken up by tomorrow afternoon I'll run some more tests. You on the other hand look exhausted. Why don't you take some time away, go home and have a proper shower, a proper meal and a change of clothes, believe you me the breakaway will do you good and besides there is someone else out in that waiting room who I'm sure would like to spend some time with the patient" she replied gesturing to the ITU window where Sue was stood looking at her friend lying in the bed
Myles smiled at Sue, who returned it slightly but the sadness was still on her face, as he saw that look he knew he had been incredibly selfish in the last few hours. Since the team were allowed to sit with her, he had kept her all to himself, none of his colleagues had, had the chance to sit with her and he knew it was time he shared her no matter how hard it was going to be
"You're right Caroline"
"I am" she replied somewhat shocked, she had prepared herself for a fight to get Myles out of the room
"Yes" Myles laughed for the first time in three days "You are"
And with that he stood up, his stiff muscles popping slightly as they got used to being used again and he realised Caroline was actually right a hot shower, some decent food and a change of clothes would do him good and so moved to exit the ITU room.
"Morning Sue" he greeted as he left Lucy's room
"Morning Myles how is she?"
"She's doing ok, still unconscious but Dr Adams isn't worried at the moment, go on in I'm going to go home for a few hours, go spend some time with her"
Sue hugged her friend she knew leaving her was hard, but she also knew he needed to get out for a few hours, as they parted she pulled on the protective clothing they had to wear and headed through the door of the ITU stopping before entering
"Myles" she called out in a small, sad voice, making him stop and turn back to her
"What's wrong?" Myles asked concerned
"What do I say to her? What should I do when I get in there?"
"Just hold her hand and talk to her or read some more of her book"
"Talk to her about what?" Sue asked, to be honest she was just as scared as Myles had been last night
"About anything you want, about how much Jack is fussing over you, about pregnancy cravings, the weather, what you watched on TV last night, what cases you're working on, anything you can think of"
"Oh ok and you're sure I can hold her hand, it want hurt her or make her sick"
"No Sue she'll be fine, but if it makes you feel better there is a small bottle of hand cleaner on the table by the bed, use a small drop and it will kill off any germs"
"Ok then if you're sure" she said somewhat relieved
"I'm sure, go on in and spend time with her, I'm sure she will love hearing a different voice talking to her"
"Thanks Myles" Sue replied before walking through the door, exiting again not ten seconds later
"Myles, can you do me one last favour"
"Sure what's up?"
"Can you tell Jack I'm going to sit with her for a bit he's sat in our car in the car-park, I told him I was only going to be five minutes, you know what he's like if I'm more than two minutes late the panic sets in"
Myles laughed for the second time that day and it felt good "Sure Sue no worries"
"Thank you" she signed back and turned back into the ITU
Myles stood at the window and watched Sue walk towards Lucy. He watched as she repeated the same routine he had the night before, stopping at the end of the bed, moving towards the chair and sitting in it a few moments later, attempting to reach out for her hand before stopping and using the hand sanitizer before finally grabbing her hand and talking to her. He couldn't help but smile as Sue looked up at him winking as she relaxed.
Myles entered the elevator and it dawned on him he had no car, his car was still parked in the FBI car-park how the bloody hell was he going to get home he would ask Jack, heading towards the car-park Jack's new SUV jeep was easy to spot and he made his way towards him
"Myles" Jack gasped in shock, he, like everyone else, thought it would take Lucy being discharged to get him to leave the hospital
"Hey Jack, I know what you're thinking so don't even say it. I just decided it was time someone else got the opportunity to sit with Lucy and as your lovely wife was in the ITU I thought why not take the chance and go home for a bit. So encase you were wondering and before the panic sets in Sue is spending some quality girlie time with her best friend"
"Oh, ok, thanks Myles, so since Sue is tied up for a while wanna grab some lunch?"
"Actually I was hoping for a lift to the office, I'm going go home for a bit change, shower, eat but my car is still parked in the office car-park"
"Sure, get in, just watch Levi"
Myles walked around to the passenger door and could help but laugh and wonder how a large golden retriever had managed to curl up on the floor in front of the passenger side seat
"That doesn't look very comfortable Levi buddy I must admit" Myles said as he opened the passenger door
"I know but for some reason if I stay in the car and Sue gets out he immediately moves there." Jack commented "Come on Buddy in the back" he ordered to Levi who with a grunt and a slight moan at Myles and Jack reluctantly moved from his spot on the floor to his other favourite spot behind on the seat behind Jack.
"So how's Lucy doing?" Jack asked after a few minutes of silent driving
"She's doing ok the doctor is concerned she has not woken up yet, but you know our Lucy she never was one to follow the crowd"
"That's true" Jack agreed
"Myles I know this is a hard question to answer but have your feelings towards Lucy changed now she can't have children?"
Myles sat for a few moments in silence, to be honest he hadn't really thought about him and Lucy not being able to have their own children; sure it would be nice if they could have their own family but heck there were plenty of children in the world who needed loving homes and he knew in that moment his feelings were still the same
"No Jack they haven't, I still love her, I'm still in love with her, sure our own children would be great but there are plenty of other children in the world who need parents and I think together Lucy and I will give them the loving home they desperately crave"
"That's good to know mate" Jack said tapping his arm as he pulled into the FBI garage
"Thanks for the lift Jack" Myles said as he exited the car
"No worries mate, are you sure you don't wanna grab some lunch?"
"No thanks I'm going to go home, I've seen enough of your face to last me the day, go see Sue, treasure the moments you can spend together because one day it might all come to a crashing end"
"Hey Myles she'll be fine, that girl is fighting hard and before you know it, she'll be with you as your wife"
"I really hope so Jack"
"I know so Myles, I'm team leader remember what I say goes" Jack added with a slight wink that caused Myles to laugh as Jack drove off and he headed towards his car
A ten minutes drive later Myles was walking the door of his home, dropping his keys and jacket on the table; he picked up the mail pile on the table and sort through it. Once that was done he placed the chicken casserole that his sister had left him in the oven and a grabbed a quick shower while it heated, fifteen minutes later he was showered, shaved and feeling more awake than he had all day. Sitting at the table he ate his food with gusto figuring he must have been hungrier than he first realised pushing the empty plate away he felt full of energy once more. He had contemplated taking a short nap in his bed but as he looked at a photograph on his fire place there was only one place he wanted to go and for the first time in the last few days it wasn't to the hospital to see Lucy, so grabbing his keys and jacket from the table he got back in his car, arriving at his destination twenty minutes later.
The question of course now is WHERE AS MYLES GONE? anyone think they know xxx
