Chapter 9 - Discoveries part 2
Fifteen minutes later the doctor reappeared through the door.
"And how are you feeling ma'am?" He asked as he took out the needle and tubing from her wrist and wrapped a bandage around the incision.
"How would you feel if you just found out you were pregnant Doc?" She said back in an amused tone. The doctor checked her vitals and wheeled the machine and bag outside.
"If it were me ma'am…I'd be scared shitless, wouldn't you be in my shoes?" He laughed and left the room for a second and returned back in. "I'm sorry ma'am but you need your rest, finish your juice and cookies then get some sleep, you've had a very emotional day." She nodded and Mac kissed her lightly on the lips before leaving with the doctor.
"Call me if you need anything." Mac insisted, Amanda nodded and slurped at her orange juice as she looked at the men leave.
"Actually, Mac I was wondering if you could stop by my places and get me a pair of pyjamas, and some comfortable clothing, and in the far corner of my closet, there's a plastic container, bring that too please And also the book on my side table?" She asked as he was about to close the door, he nodded and smiled briefly, then left. A few minutes later she realized that she was exhausted and tugged the covers under her chin and placed both hands on her stomach. Goodnight baby. She thought and closed her eyes.
Outside in the waiting room, Horatio was pacing back and forth, sometimes throwing glances towards Amanda's room. On his 11th circle Calleigh had it.
"Quit it H, your making me nauseous!" She snapped, even that was a little bizarre for her to say; he turned around and watched her rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"I'm sorry Calleigh, I'm just nervous right now…And how can you sit in a time like this!" He said outraged, exhaustion had caught up with him and he was running on coffee.
"Easy, I lost the feeling in my legs half an hour ago." She retorted and got up when Mac turned the corner with the doctor, she limped towards him as fast as her sleeping legs would allow.
"How is she Mac?" She asked looking deeply in his eyes, she knew something was wrong when he wouldn't look at Horatio and kept looking at her when questions were thrown at him.
"She's fine, she has a broken rib and a bruised chest, and she just donated a litre of blood to Eric so right now she's as doped as an ex-convict." Calleigh made a ghost of a smile and looked over at her darkened room. Mac nodded and walked past them flexing and un-flexing his fist.
"Where are you going?" Horatio asked. He couldn't believe he was leaving Amanda. Mac didn't even turn around when he answered.
"Amanda wants a couple of things and I'm going to get them…is there a problem Lieutenant?" He said the last couple of words through his teeth, and before he could let Horatio answer he hopped on an elevator and pressed the button to go down.
"Since when does he call you lieutenant?" She asked rubbing the back of her neck. She walked over to the doctor who was attending an elderly woman in a wheelchair.
"Doctor, I was wondering when it would be possible to see Amanda?" She asked looking once more through the blinded area across the hall where Amanda was sleeping, dreamlessly.
"I'd say by morning. Would Mr. Delko and Miss Jensen mind if they share the same room?"
"They wouldn't have it any other way."
"Good, we're accustomed to room relatives together." He said and walked off towards the ICU. Calleigh almost fell from the news; she had to steady herself on the reception desk. Horatio came over.
"What's wrong Cal?" He asked as he held on to her as they headed outside towards his Hummer.
"They're putting Manda and Eric in the same room."
"That's great why are you so shocked?"
"He said he was accustomed to room relatives together…Delko and Manda are related!" She said and hopped into the Hummer. It was Horatio's turn to feel like a train had just hit him, he leaned against his door and stayed there for a while.
When Amanda woke up she felt something different about the room, she held her bruised chest as she moved the bed up and looked around. On her right side she noticed another bed. It was Eric, she looked at him, sleeping looking at the monitor for his vitals and looked at his chest going up and down. She leaned back on her pillows and took a deep breath. He was okay, he was alive. She shut her eyes then the doctor came in holding two charts in his hands.
"Good morning Amanda." He said as he checked her bandage and felt her pulse.
"Morning Doc, how's Delko?" She said looking over at her sleeping friend.
"He's doing great…and talking about Mr. Delko, how do you know him?"
"I work with him, for 4 years." She looked suspiciously in his eyes, something was up.
"Amanda, he's your biological brother, your blood type match." Amanda took a deep breath and said through her teeth.
"For heaven's sake! The president can have the same blood type as me, that doesn't mean he's my father!" She yelled at him, and closed her mouth when Eric shuffled in his sleep. The doctor rolled his eyes and gave her both files. She grabbed them and shuffled through them.
"As you can see you have 99 common alleles with this man, deny it if you will but he is your brother, you are a Delko by birth and blood." He slowly took the files from her and she lay back against her pillows dazed and blown away. He finished his job on Delko and Mac came in with 2 big bags. He gave her a big smile and sat beside her bed and looked over at Eric.
"Why's he here?" He looked over at Amanda but she was still in shock so he looked over at the doctor.
"Amanda's Eric's little sister." Mac looked from Eric to Amanda and now that he saw it, he saw a little similarity, such as the skin, hair and even the way he looked when he was sleeping, she had the same little pout. He took her hand and she refocused on him.
"Got your stuff, hey does orange and green match?" The doctor made a little chuckle behind his clipboard. Mac gave him a hateful glare and looked back at Amanda as she smiled.
"They kind of match, but they still clash a little why?" He gave her the bag and she smiled as she looked through the bag. "How do you ever put together your suits?" She asked pulling out orange track pants and a lime green spaghetti strap top.
"Stella usually does it." He mumbled but Amanda heard him and she burst out laughing, she moaned in pain but it was mixed up with laughter she clutched her ribs and slowly stopped laughing.
"Here's the tooth you requested Miss Amanda." He gave her a little bag with the shark tooth in it. It was pretty big she took it and her eyes widened. The doctor smiled and left the room. Mac gave her a kiss on the forehead and left the room for her to change. She walked over to the windows and closed the blinds at every window. She looked over at Eric and waved a hand over his eyes to make sure he wasn't pretending to be sleeping. Content he wasn't she changed her underwear from under her hospital gown and stuffed the old pair in the bottom of the bag and did the same with her bra. At least he matched the bra with the underwear. She slid on her pants first, thank goodness he brought her workout pants, and she didn't want to lie down all day in her tight jeans. The pants ended just below her hip, she shrugged off her hospital gown and started to shrug her head through the lime green tank top. It was then did she notice Eric moaning next to her. She looked over and saw that his brown eyes were looking at her. She hurriedly put the tank on and sat on her bed.
"Did you enjoy the show sicko?" She teased easing a brush through her long brown hair.
"If that's what you get when you come to the hospital, I should swim with a shark more often." He chuckled. She rolled her eyes and walked over to his bed and sat down beside his good leg.
"How's the leg Delko?" She asked as she held his hand. He looked down and smiled.
"Feels like a shark bit through it." He said humourlessly but still gave her a smile.
"Stop whining, chicks did scars, and buddy you got a shiner!" She smiled at his look of amazement. He laughed lightly but his smile fell when he looked over at Amanda, who was looking into his eyes seriously.
"What's up Ams?" He said and squeezed her hand tightly.
"Well you needed blood and I was the only one that matched yours, so I gave you blood, the doctor came over a while ago and he said…he told me that we have 99 common alleles and that we're…you and I are…you are my big brother." She looked down at their entwined hands and back at him. He sat there, looking into nothing, she looked away and was thinking he didn't like the idea when he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down to his chest. She cried gently against his gown and he cried too, into her hair, she hugged him back, and he did too. It was then did they hear a knock at the door. They didn't leave each others arms they just told who ever it was to come in. Calleigh came in first followed by Speed, Valera and Horatio, and Mac, but what surprised Amanda the most was the red-headed curly haired woman behind Mac.
"Stella!" Amanda said shocked. Stella came over and hugged her, making sure to mind her injury. Stella pulled back when Calleigh came over and hugged her tightly but her too minding the injury. Stella and Calleigh looked Amanda up and down and started to giggle at the colours. Amanda looked over at Mac and Calleigh followed her gaze.
"What! You should see how many colours that woman has; it almost blinded me…besides it looks fine to me." He said and smiled, Calleigh shook her head and kissed Amanda on the cheek and went over to Eric. Horatio sat down on Amanda's bed and listened to Eric and Calleigh's conversation, but kept looking over at Speed, Stella and Amanda. He didn't see where Mac went, but right now he didn't care. He kept looking over at Amanda; her smile was genuine and touched, he watched as the sunshine from the window penetrated through the blinds and hit her hair. The colour shined its strongest. He longed to run his hands through her hair. He didn't notice when Calleigh sat down beside him and swung her arm around his shoulders.
"Hey!" She said, she was very perky, the fact that Amanda was okay and that Eric was safe brought her joy. He fiddled with his shirt.
"Hello." He said glumly, she gave him a hug and he made a ghost of a smile.
"Go talk to her H." She shoved him a bit but he never moved.
"What are we teenagers?" He said and looked over at Amanda who was laughing and held Stella's hand.
"Well you sure are acting like a child Horatio." She said stiffly and got up to hang around Eric. Horatio took in a deep breath and rubbed his hands together. He ran his hand through his hair and looked once again towards Amanda. Stella was bringing her by the hand outside the room; he smiled when he saw Amanda trail her IV pole with her. Calleigh noticed she was struggling and went to join them, she held onto Amanda's other hand and dragged the wheeling pole beside her.
