Jess approached the Medical Bay, she had been so desperate to get there, but now that she was stood by the door, her hand holding the key card just hovering, she had no idea what she was going to say. Obviously she would ask how he is and all that stuff, but what was their to talk about after that. Should she admit her feelings? Was now a good time? She didn't allow herself to think about it anymore, or she would over think it and probably stand on this side of the door for hours, imagining the worst, so she took a deep breath and sliced the card down. The door beeped and she pushed against it.

The doctor rounded the corner and walked straight into her, forcing the breath she had been holding out. and he dropped his clipboard.

"Oh my god, Javis, I am so sorry. I didn't see you. Sorry" she babbled, trying to apologise as much as she could whilst she picked up his clipboard.

"It's is I who should be apologising Miss Parker." replied , accepting the clipboard Jess held out to him.

"Jess, just Jess" she said, a gentle smile on her face.

"Sorry, Jess." he corrected. "I guess you are here to see the captain"

"Indeed, I need to make sure that he is alright… he is a vital part of my team and I have to ensure the safety of my team. It is my job…" she was babbling once again, trying to make excuses for why she was there.

The doctor just laughed and lead her to the room where Becker was and opened the door for her. She held her breath again before poking her head through the open door. Becker lifted his head when the door clicked open.

"Hey" he said, a small smile growing on his face when he noticed it was Jess.

"Hey" she replied, stepping fully into the room. Becker laid on the bed, shirtless, but had bandages wrapped around his chest and torso, deep purple bruising already showing beneath the edges of the bandage . She had to compose herself before saying anything else, he looked terrible. "How are you doing? Nothing too serious I hope?" as she sat herself down in the chair beside the bed.

"Nah, the doctor scanned me for internal bleeding and checked my spine. Just a few broken ribs and some nasty bruising" he replied with a sigh, indicating to his concealed chest.

"But that's good right? I mean, it could have been a lot worse, you could have been paralyzed for life, you could have died from internal bleeding, your ribs could have punctured your lungs, could have crushed your heart. You could have died." she hadn't realised how angry she had become. Becker was a little surprised at this side of Jess.

Jess saw this look and suddenly realised that she had been shouting at him. Her cheeks flushed and she quickly apologized, ducking her head. "I am just glad you are okay, when you didn't move I thought the worst, I couldn't help myself. I thought that I had lost you."

"So did I" Jess looked up, but it wasn't Becker who spoke. Lester stood at the door, a unamused look painted onto his face. "I have a matter to speak about with the captain, if you wouldn't mind Miss Parker" It wasn't really a question but more of a command, so he stood up and cleared her throat.

"Yer sure, I will come back at a better time"

"Promise?" Becker asked quietly.

"Yer I promise" and she left, heading back to Opps, the words lingering fresh in her mind.
