A/N: Hey guys, the newest chapter of Death Defying Love is here. Thank you for reviewing on the last chapter, it really made my day. I decided to update early because of all the awesome reviews I got, so thank you.
They all nodded before going over the door in question, it buzzed so they pushed the door open and walked through. More silence was upon us as we gradually made our way to the cubicle.
Mike walked in front and pushed the curtain to the side to let them enter. Bird was on the bed, looking deathly pale in colour. Her chest moving as the machine beeped. Cords were everywhere. A tube down her throat to help her breath. The scene was horrific. She just lay there helplessly, not even knowing what was hoaxing around here. Soon the doctor had come in, and started checking her stats.
"How is she doctor?" Mike had broken the silence by asking the one question that was on their minds.
"She's very lucky to be alive. The bullet just missed her lungs. Right now she's in a coma, and we're not sure when she'll wake up or if she will even wake up." The doctor replied, a sad smile on his face. The news sinking into their minds. She might not wake up. She could die. That was the worst news possible. Mike looked over at his son, Ryan had a look of shock horror on his face and didn't seem to be moving. Mike walked over to him, placing an arm around his shoulders, looking down at his son.
"She'll make it, Ryan." Mike reassured him. Ryan looked up into Mike's eyes, and could see the hope he held that she would make it. He managed a small smile, before looking down again, giving a small nod in response.
"We'll leave you alone." Kate said walking out of the cubicle, with Mike in tow. Once they were gone, Ryan sat in the chair next to Bird, and held her hand. Her hand was icy cold, and pale white. She looked almost dead. Ryan shook his head of the thought. She will live, she will come back. That's all that was one Ryan's mind.
A few hours later, Mike and Kate returned with some food. Kate gave him a reassuring smile before handing him a drink and some food, which he kindly declined.
"Come on Ryan, you need to eat. Bird would want you to look after yourself." Ryan just silently nodded at Mike's words before taking the food and the drink Kate had offered him before. He said a small thank you before slowly picking at the food.
A few minutes later a nurse walked into the room. She had a sad smile on her face, "I'm sorry but visiting hours are hour, you'll have to come back tomorrow." She said in a quiet voice. Mike and Kate nodded, while Ryan just sat there. Mike grabbed Ryan's arm and lead him outside of the room. They walked back to the door, and opened it and walked outside of the hospital.
"She looked so weak." Ryan whispered. A few tears started staining his cheeks.
"I know, Ryan, I know." Mike quietly replied pulling Ryan into a hug, a few seconds later Ryan was hugging him tightly back. Mike pulled back a bit, "Let's go home, we'll come again tomorrow," All Ryan did was nod, and get into the car. Mike looked back at Ryan and could see the love and hurt that he was feeling right now. Kate got into the car beside him, and held his hand, squeezing it. Mike looked at the hand and smiled slightly, squeezing her hand back.
The car ride to their house was quiet. No one dared to say anything to break the dead silence. As soon as they pulled up in the driveway, Ryan went to the door, unlocked it and went straight to his room. Mike and Kate soon followed inside.
"He looks so broken." Mike whispered, almost scared to see his son like this. Kate pulled Mike into a tight hug, whispering reassuring words into his ear. Mike nodded, while Kate lead him to their bedroom. They got changed, and slipped into bed, holding each other the whole night.
Soon the sun had risen, and was silently shining through their bedroom door. They both made an attempt to go back to sleep, but was soon awoken again to the noise in the kitchen, telling them that Ryan was awake, and they needed to go to the hospital soon. Sighing, Mike leaned over to Kate to give her a good morning kiss before getting changed and walking outside of the room and into the kitchen. When he walked into the kitchen, he was overwhelmed by the beautiful aromas coming from the food. Ryan turned around when he came in the kitchen, and gave him a smile.
"I made breakfast, its a thank you present for always being there for me." Ryan's sad smile had plagued Mike's face. Mike quickly pulled Ryan into a hug, whispering "That's what families do."
Kate soon walked into the kitchen, smelling the food, before putting her hand over her mouth and running out again. Mike soon followed behind her, into the bathroom. Kate was over the toilet bowl throwing up, Mike held Kate's hair back as she did so.
After she threw up a bit more, she nodded, saying she was done, before she stood and went to gurgle some water. She looked back at Mike, and they walked back into the kitchen.
"Was my cooking that bad?" Ryan asked with a small laugh, trying to lighten the mood. Both Kate and Mike grinned, and let out a laugh.
"No, I'm sure it's lovely Ryan, thank you." Mike said with a smile.
"You'll have to get used to the morning sickness I get." Kate said with a laugh.
