A/N: Thanks for the reviews: TwilightxLove02,

Chapter 10

The night had been the longest in Millie's life. She now found herself sitting in a hospital room in a chair. Lying in the bed was Riley who was still asleep after coming out of surgery. Millie watched as his chest moved up and down. The scenes from the night continued to replay over and over in her head. They were able to get emergency cruises out to where they were. Riley was airlifted to the nearest hospital. When law enforcement arrived they used divers to go into the cave and arrest Justin and his men. As soon as they could leave Millie, Ben, and Abby went straight to the hospital where Riley was in surgery to remove the bullet. The doctor told them that Riley was very lucky that the bullet didn't do any damage. Once he was out of surgery they let Millie into the room. The sun was now peering through the windows. Millie turned as she heard a knock at the door.

"Auntie Emily!" she exclaimed happily as she jumped from the chair and over to her aunt who held her into a tight hug.

"I'm glad you're okay darling." Emily said as held onto her niece for a moment. When she let go her hand went over her mouth a she saw Riley's body in the bed.

"He will be okay." Millie said happily as she turned to him.

"What on earth happened?" Emily asked as both women exited the room. Millie closed the door gently behind her.

Millie leaned against the wall and laughed. "You won't believe a thing."

"I've been through this craziness with Ben, just try me. When we got word that you were kidnapped Patrick and I left Japan and went straight to the states. There we found you were in Cypress and once we landed here we were told to come to the hospital." Emily said as she took a seat in a vacant chair in the hallway.

"It's a long story, but I am fine. I don't think I will be going out hunting treasure anytime soon though." Millie said with a laugh.

"When I called your mother she was terrified." Emily said. Millie gasped and her face fell.

"Oh, God. Mother is going to die." Millie said at once when she thought of her mother.

"I told her I could call her when I got here. You are fine so she will be relieved, but other than that how was your week well besides being kidnapped and all that?" Emily asked. Millie took a seat in the chair next to her and smiled.

"I fell in love." Millie said at once.

"Fell in love?" questioned Emily who looked at Millie who just held a smile on her face. "With who?"

"Riley." Millie said happily.

"Riley, Riley Poole?" she then questioned.

"Yes. I don't know he was just so sweet to me and we have so much in common and just spending time with him made me smile. We would be sitting in the same room and I just felt totally wonderful. He saved my life and I don't know I just feel great." Millie hugged herself as she spoke. She thought of how great it felt to have his arms wrapped around her, but then the pain of seeing him be shot hit her at once.

"I can tell. I know love when I see it." Emily as she hugged her niece.

"I can't wait until he is well. The next 5 weeks are going to be amazing. I was thinking of staying longer in the states though. Especially with Riley being shot he is going to need some help as he heals." Millie said as she turned and looked through the window into his room. She watched him as he slept.

"Well I am going to go call your mother and let her know you are absolutely fine." Emily said as she stood. "You go in there and wait for Riley to wake up. I'm sure he will be trilled to see you're okay."

Millie also stood and hugged her aunt. "Thanks."

Millie made her way back into the hospital room. She sat back into her chair and watched as birds flew around outside of the window. She placed her hand over his hand and at once she felt his hand move. His hand them grabbed her hand into his. She watched as his head turned towards her and he opened his eyes with a smile.

"Hey." He managed to say.

"Hey." Millie said happily as she scooted her chair closer to the bed. Riley moved, but he cringed in pain. "Don't move too much. You're barely out of surgery."

"As long as you are okay." He aid as he ran his hand down the side of her face. Millie smiled and grabbed his hand.

"I'm great, but I was very worried about you." Millie said. She sniffed back the tears that kept trying to come out. A single tear fell from her eye. Riley took his hand and wiped it away.

"I'm alright and just glad to be alive. So don't cry." He said as he again wiped another tear. "I've had the greatest adventure and it had nothing to do with finding any type of treasure or traveling the world. It was after only a simple week falling in love and finding the girl of my dreams."

"I love you, too." Millie said happily. She leaned over and kissed him quickly on the lips. Riley pulled her closer and kissed her back passionately.

"Hey love birds." Came a voice. Standing in the doorway was Ben who walked in the room followed by Abby who waved.

"Hey Benny boy. I think I am ready to run across the country now." Riley jokingly said. He went to sit up in bed and cringed. "Alright I might need some pain meds first."

"I told you to stay still." Millie said at once.

"Sorry, mom." Riley said playfully.

"You should rest." Millie said looking at him.

"I'm good." Riley said.

"You were shot. Listen to Millie you need to rest." Ben said.

Riley crossed his arms and pouted like a little kid. "Alright I guess."
