AN: Hiya guys sorry if some of you found the last chapter a bit boring as most of us probably know there's not a lot to do in hospital's when a loved one is ill... Anyway I just want to give a huge thankyou to my NO.1 reviewer Angela76, With every new chapter i post she gives me the most amazing reviews :) x x x Anyway back to the story...


C POV

"CHRISTIAN...CHRISTIAN!" I hear someone whisper as I slowly drag my eyes open

"CHRISTIAN WAKE UP!" A harsh scold enters my ears and I'm immediately awake

"What? What is it?" I ask as my heart races

"Christian, Tabi's temperature's risen, She's getting warmer" My mother beams at me as I turn to look at Tabi, Her lips are slowly turning back to normal and she doesn't feel like ice anymore, I feel so happy I want to jump up and down.

"It's good new sweetie but she's still got a long way to go, She's not out of the woods just yet" She says as I nod, I can't keep the smile from my face, I know she's got a way to go but it's the best news we've had since she arrived.

"What time is it?" I ask seeing the sun fully up, It must be like 11 am or something

"After 2" My mom says with a flippant wave of her hand as she checks Tabi's chart

Holy shit! I've been asleep since 16 hours...

"Why didn't anyone wake me?" I demand

"You looked to peaceful darling I didn't have the heart to and the longer you slept the higher Tabi's temperature rose, She knows your close sweetheart" She says with a grin

I look back to Tabi and kiss her for head, If staying in bed all day will get her better then I'm not moving, Il even tie a knot in it if I need the bathroom.

"Thanks mom"

"What for?" She frowns

"For letting me sleep here, I can't remember the last time I slept for so long" I smirk as I stretch

"Christian it was lovely to see you so relaxed, Everyone said so when they came for visits and saw the two of you"

"You mean people have been in to see Tabi while ive been asleep?" I ask embarrassed

"Yes, Taylor, Gail, Elliott, Mia, Your father... Oh and Dr. Flynn, They've all been in to see Tabi and they've all seen you asleep" She jokes as I feel my cheeks heat

"Thanks for that mom" I roll my eyes at her

"Il be back in a little while" She laughs "Stay in bed" She says sternly

"Yes Mam" I laugh with a salute as she smirks and leaves.


The rest of the day comes and goes, Tabi's temperature rises ever so slightly every now and again, Everytime I kiss her she feels a little bit warmer.

Taylor and Gail came back in baring gifts, Another change of clothes and more of Gail's wonderful food, Taylor sat on Tabi's bed while I went to the bathroom, I know I said I'd tie a knot in it but it's starting to fucking hurt.

Once I had finished me and Taylor swapped places, I've finally got Taylor to call me Christian without having to remind him now the only person I've got to work on is Gail, They've both worked for me for years, Taylor is family to Tabi, Gail is with Taylor, Tabi loves me, I love Tabi... I guess that makes us sort of like a family I suppose I know Tabi would like it so I'm doing it for her.


By the time family have finished their visits its dark again, Sitting around doing nothing all day is very boring but im just happy im near Tabi.

As I get ready for bed my mother comes back in to inform me that Tabi's temperature is almost back to normal, all we have to do is wait for her body to re energies and wake up, I can't help but feel hopeful that she may wake soon, It's the last thought in my head as I cuddle up to her and close my eyes.


During the night I wake up, I look at my Blackberry its 3 am, Too much sleep is wrecking havoc with my body clock, I role over to look at the beautiful girl next to me.

I stare at her for what seems like eternity, She looks so beautiful with a strip of moon light drifting through the window, Oh what I'd give to see those amazing eyes sparkle again, Or see that stunning smile, I beg that she will wake soon, I beg that the gods give me a second chance with this angle and I swear on everything I have that I will not fuck it up this time round, I will give this vision, This Aphrodite my heart, My body and my soul and I will be there for her until the end of time.

I sigh as I feel my eyes getting heavy, I lean over to give her a sweet good night kiss on her now warm lips and I swear I hear a small moan, The kiss becomes deeper when a mouth opens and a small warm, Wet, Beautiful toung enters my mouth, The kiss is full of passion as we both pull forgetting that we need to breathe.

"Christian"

"Yeah Tabz"

"I love you"

"I love you to baby"

Tabi snuggles in to my chest and I wrap my arms around her, I feel like im floating, If this is a dream please forever let me stay asleep, Nothing else matters but us.

"Christian"

"Yeah Tabz"

"Go to sleep"

I smile as I kiss the top of her head

"I love you" I whisper

"I love you more" Is the last thing I hear before falling back in to darkness, Happy with the love of my life in my arms.
