Enough rambling .. here's chapter 10

It had been over a day since Will had collapsed and all of the station was subdued, their thoughts on the popular PC who was fighting for his life in the hospital. Dan, Beth, Honey, Emma, Lewis, Sam and Phil sat in the canteen silently. All staring into space, not really paying any attention to things around them. Suddenly everything changed as Nikki burst into the room and announced "Will's awake! The hospital Just called to say he's doing much better, he seems to be on the road to recovery." She smiled.

The rest of the group sat in shock, how can things have change so much in one moment? Thought Dan as Beth leaped on him in joy, tears of joy in her eyes. She wasn't the only one who was crying, Emma was too. She couldn't believe it, he was awake, alive.

Unfortunately they all had to wait until they finished their shift before visiting the hospital, although Smithy did let them leave 10 minutes earlier on the condition they promised no to tell inspector Gold and they said a 'hi' to Will from him.

As they approached Will's hospital door Emma felt suddenly nervous. It was strange, yesterday she would have done anything to get the chance to admit her feelings but now she was apprehensive. Had he changed his mind? Shaking her head, trying to get rid of the thoughts that clouded her mind. She was going to do this.

The whole group could go in at once, but only if they were quiet and didn't stay too long, Will needed rest to recover from this. Honey entered first knocking softly on the door.

"Hey, how you feeling?" She asked him

Will, who was sitting up slightly in bed looking better than he had done the other day. Their was colour in his cheeks and he didn't have so many needles and tubes in him.

"Ok, I guess" Will sighed but smiling as he did so. He still felt slightly sick and ached all over but it was definitely an improvement, probably from all the painkillers and medication he was being given.

"Good. So now I don't feel guilty for doing this."Honey said as she gave him a soft slap in the shoulder.

"Hey! What was that for?" Asked Will pretending to be hurt.

"Collapsing on me. You scared me." Honey admitted with a playful smile.

"Sorry."He said sheepishly, feeling guilty at worrying everyone.

"It's not your fault. It's not like you wanted to collapse. Right?" Lewis piped up from the back of the room.

Will rolled his eyes and smirked, "Not really."

They all talked for a while, mainly on what the doctors had said. Will would need to stay in hospital for a few more days, then rest at home for a few weeks. He would need to take a course of antibiotics. He had also been told that he was lucky as if it was left much longer he could have died. After 10 minutes Will was beginning to feel as if is brain had stopped working, he was so tired. Seeing this, they decided to leave, Will had been through a lot and needed sleep.

"Emma, can we have a minute?" He asked her as she was just about to leave the room.

Once everyone had left and Emma had sat down Will began, "I'm just going to say it. I love you. This has made me realise that life is too short to keep hiding from it." He said quickly, wanting to say it before his brain told him not too.

Emma sat in shock at the actual confession, it was so good to hear those words. Will sat holding his breath waiting for her answer.

"Will... I love you too. This made me realise how close I came to loosing you. I can't live without you and I'm sorry for everything, the way I've treated you lately has been really unfair." Emma replied, her eyes filling with tears of both happiness and shame.

"Hey. I'm still here and it's ok I get it, you were hurt by Matt and confused."He said softly, trying to comfort her. He reached out to hold her hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I love you." She said tearfully.

"I love you too"

"I guess we aren't the only couple now." Will said closing his eyes briefly, he noticed how Honey and Lewis were acting and Beth and Dan's closeness, even if he was ill he could still read the body language of his friends.

Emma smiled " No we aren't. I should go, you need to rest." Emma began to stand up.

"Wait. Can you stay tonight, please?" Will's tired voice made him wince. He sounded all pathetic and needy.

"Ok and no you don't sound pathetic and needy." She laughed reading his mind. "I will only stay if you go to sleep now." She instructed although she didn't have to say it as Will already had his eyes closed...

While Emma and Will were at the hospital all the officers were at the pub, celebrating Will's recovery. Although he was still unwell at least he was getting better.

"So, do you reckon they have confessed their love for each other yet?" Beth asked Dan empahsising the love part dramatically.

Dan laughed. "Probably."

Then he pulled her into him so he could kiss her.

"What was that for?" She giggled.

"Being you. Amazing, beautiful and the best girlfriend ever."

"So I'm your girlfriend now." She whispered in his ear seductively.

Dan just shrugged and smiled tiredly. He was exhausted, he didn't get much sleep last night even after talking Beth on the phone, he was too worried.

"Want to go home?" She asked him. "I'll come with you." She added quickly

Dan raised his eyes then nodded. Some quiet time with her would be nice. So the two said their goodbyes and left.

Honey leaned on Lewis. She was tired too, all of them were and now the adrenaline and happiness after hearing Will was going to be ok was starting to wear off Honey was really feeling drained.

"Lets go. I'll drop you off at home." Lewis said.

"I want to stay." She said quietly. She was lying but she didn't want to disrupt the party.

"Liar. You can barely keep your eyes open. C'mon I'll stay the night if you want." Lewis smiled slyly .

"Ok lets go home." Honey said standing up immediately, making Lewis laugh. She was amazing he thought.

Sam had gone from feeling so worried and sad to amazing happy in just 2 days. It was insane. She watched Lewis leave with Honey and Dan leave with Beth. She was really happy for them all, it took them all long enough to get together and Will almost dying. She had also get a text from Emma to say that Will was asleep and they had sorted everything out. Everything turned out well, she thought with a smile.

"Want to go?" She whispered into Phil's ear while he was talking with Micky. A smirk was playing on the lips of Micky who knew fine well he was about to be left but didn't mind. He was happy for them both.

So Phil and Sam left hand in hand...

Some fluffiness there... only a short epilogue to go...
