Nurse's Wings
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Georgia
Once again thank you for your support in this story. I was kinda scared at first that no one would like it, but you all proved me wrong! Thank you again for your support!
Georgia groaned as the sunlight filtered through her eyelids, signaling that coming of the morning as she sighed softly. She was still so tired, and hardly felt rested.
"Sleep, Georgia." She felt warm air on her ear as a gruff, morning husky voice whispered softly to her, and she couldn't help the small shiver that made it's way down her spine. She sighed softly as she rubbed her hands over his clothed chest, before being plagued with the question that had been on her mind for months now.
"Why did you leave me, Danny?" Georgia asked softly as she lightly traced mindless patterns on his clothed chest, laying her head down on it. She had missed him, missed the secure feeling that she got whenever she was near him. She smiled softly as he arms came up, encasing her and protecting her as he sighed.
"Because she was the only tie that I had to Rafe." Danny admitted as he frowned. "Because, at one point, I didn't think that you even cared I had lost my best friend."
"That's not true, Danny!" Georgia frowned as she looked up to him. "I really did try to make time with you! I called you every spare moment that I had, and as soon as I turned the conversation to Rafe, you'd either go silent and change the subject all together." He wasn't about to turn back around to saying she was the reason they had drifted apart, was he? Danny sighed softly as he reached up, running his fingers through her hair.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry Georgia, and I don't know if that'll ever be enough, or if you could ever truly forgive me, but by gods, I'm so sorry." Danny whispered softly as he leaned in then, kissing her lovingly. Georgia couldn't help melting into his kiss, and as cliche as it sounded, she really couldn't feel mad at him anymore. Yesterday had changed that. She knew she should be mad, had every right to show him the door and never look back, but she couldn't. She had experienced so much death yesterday, and near encounters herself, and she didn't want to something like this to happen again, and find herself wishing that she had forgiven him. So many had died yesterday, people that she knew and people that she didn't. Betty came to mind for her as she felt tears welling in her eyes, thinking of the only best friend she had really ever had. Danny sensed something was wrong as he broke the kiss, looking down at her in concern as he frowned, seeing her tears.
"Betty is really gone, isn't she?" Georgia stated softly as she shook her head, burying her face in his chest. "It didn't really hit me until now." She sobbed softly as Danny tightened his grip on her, kissing the top of her head.
"Shhhh, baby girl." He whispered softly as he held her, holding back his own tears as he thought of the people that he knew that had died as well.
"Poor Red, god, he's going to be so heart broken." Georgia gasped as she wiped her tears away, looking towards the door. "Red! I almost forgot! We left him in Betty's room last night, I should go and check on him." Georgia made to move, but Danny didn't let up on his grip on her.
"No, Georgia, let him be for a little. He needs time to himself right now." Danny stated softly as Georgia sighed, nodding. She laid back down in his arms, her eyes closing as she did. "Sleep a little while longer, baby girl." He sighed as he closed his eyes too, still feeling as tired as she. Georgia didn't need to be told twice, as she found that sleep came easier that she thought it would. With it, though, came the nightmares.
Georgia's heart felt heavy as they walked into the hangar, The Last Post echoing throughout the area as she looked on the lines, and lines of coffins. It seemed so unreal, that all these people were dead, lost to their families forever. She hadn't been able to see the numbers of those who had passed on her watch or otherwise, and now that she could, she wasn't sure if she would've been able to face the truth at the time.
"So many people, Danny." Georgia whispered painfully as she looked over them and Danny sighed sadly as he nodded, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. She began to look at the pictures on the coffins as they walked by, paling more as she recognized a lot of them. "I saw these people die, Danny, some right in my arms." She couldn't help some of the tears that leaked out of her eyes, covering her mouth with her hand as she shook her head. "Why would they do this to use?"
"I don't know, Georgia. I just don't know." Danny breathed heavily as he held her tighter to him, looking ahead to see Red and most of the nurse's he knew crowding around one coffin. "Come on." He whispered to her as he lead her over.
"Oh, Betty." Georgia whispered as more tears fell, seeing her best friend's photo on the flag covered coffin. Danny moved her around then, cradling her to his chest as Georgia buried her face in it, trying to stop the tears.
"God, I have the emotional capacity of a goldfish lately." She mumbled against his Navy uniform, and Danny kissed the top of her head softly.
"You have every right to be distraught." He whispered softly, and that only made the tears come on even heavier. Georgia sighed as she took a couple deep breaths to calm herself, before she suddenly heard a wail coming from a couple rows over. Looking over, she gasped slightly as she saw Barbara kneeled before a coffin, acting absolutely hysterical. She looked up to Danny, only to see that his eyes were following Rafe as he walked away.
"Go on, Danny." Georgia stated as she knew that him and Rafe still needed to work things out. "I'll be fine, go and talk to Rafe."
"Okay, just come find me before you leave." Danny sighed softly as he leaned down to quickly kiss her, before heading in Rafe's direction. Georgia frowned slightly as she walked around Betty's coffin, following the rows until she came to the one that Barbara was kneeled by. She gasped softly as she recognized Billy's picture, before reaching out and touching her shoulder softly. Barbara started, looking around to Georgia with big watery eyes as she sobbed, shaking her head. Georgia pulled Barbara to her, hugging her tightly as she sobbed into her stomach, much like Red had done only a couple nights ago.
"He's gone!" Barbara sobbed as she clung to Georgia. "He's gone!"
"Shhh, sweetheart. I know, I know." Georgia tried to soothe as she ran her fingers through Barbara's hair.
"Billy!" Barbara sobbed hysterically, over and over again as all Georgia could do was hold her tightly. When Barbara's cries seemed to slow down some, she stood up, detaching herself from Georgia and leaving without a word, her head bowed. Georgia frowned as she watched her go, shaking her head slightly. She knew not to take it personally.
"Georgia?" She heard Danny's voice from behind her suddenly as she turned around, seeing a distraught look on his face.
"What is it?" Georgia asked in worry as Danny sighed, frowning.
"You need to come with me, and we need to talk alone." He stated as he grabbed her hand then, leading her from the hangar.
"Away? Where?" Georgia paled as she looked up to him, shaking her head. "I don't understand." Danny sighed softly as he sat them both down on her bed, holding her hand tightly in his.
"We were told that we're flying out in two hours. State side to see Colonel Doolittle." Danny frowned slightly as he laced their fingers together, looking down at their hands as he did, biting his lip slightly.
"A-are you coming back?" Georgia asked as she felt her stomach turn, somehow already knowing the answer.
"I-I don't know." Danny sighed as he let go of her hands, pulling her to him then. "I just-I wish we had more time." He then laughed coldly. "We would've had more time if I hadn't been such a fool."
"Don't, Danny." Georgia frowned as she reached up, lightly caressing the side of his face. "Please, don't say that and don't act like you aren't ever coming back. You will, won't you?" Georgia paled a bit more as she search his eyes, as if looking for some sort of hope.
"If it's three weeks from now or three years from now, I will." Danny promised as he leaned forward then, lightly brushing his lips across her's. Georgia wouldn't stand for that though, as she gently gripped the back of his neck with her other hand, bringing his lips down more firmly on her's as she kissed him. Danny groaned as he broke the kiss, sounding winded and looking surprised as he gazed down at her.
"Georgia, I don't-"
"Danny, stop." Georgia silenced him almost instantly as she shifted around, boldly placing her knees on the bed on either side of his hips as she straddled his lap. "I don't want you stopping this because you think I'll regret it. I won't." She stated softly as she leaned down, kissing him softly. Danny groaned as he tightened his arms around her, pulling her flush against him as Geogia gasped softly into the kiss. Danny took advantage of this as he pushed his tongue into her mouth, and Georgia could feel the heat pooling in her stomach as he seemed to almost ravish her right then and there. She reached down, pulling her skirt up her leg a little before reaching for one of his hands that was on her back, grabbing it gently and moaning as she slid it up her leg.
She was in Heaven, and she planned on staying there for as long as possible.
