It took about 10 minutes for Street to regain consciousness.
Before opening her eyes, she felt that someone was holding her hand, and that someone is kissing her!
In a split second, she remembered that her bed is attached to Chris's, so that someone is automatically her!
She opens her eyes, turns her face to her direction.
"Hey, long beach awake!" she greets him
Street is upset, actually really angry "how did you ever think of doing that? You put your life at risk ! " he says almost screaming "do you realize that I could have lost you?"
Hondo, he hears Street's tone, and decides to make her presence felt, "Guys, I'm going to have a coffee, see you later." Without adding anything else, and without waiting for an answer from the two, she leaves the room. She has no intention of meddling in the affairs of those two.
Chris sighs, now also quite unnerved by her reaction "you could have lost me if you would have survived, but this wouldn't have been possible without the trap." She looks at him, trying to stay calm, "it wasn't an option to lose you, and yes I admit I reacted on impulse, I didn't even give others time to offer themselves for compatibility tests, because, as I said long ago, you are my problem "
"This does not justify the risk you have undergone. And you've even had a complication "she replies again in a high tone
"You also took the same risk for your mother. And I had to accept it! " Chris yells at him
"It was different, I was forced because I was the son!"
"I also have an obligation to you, and I think this is much higher than that to your mother!" she tells him in a bright tone "holy shit Street, you can't understand how much I care about you!" and bursts into tears.
"Chris, and you don't understand how important you are to me!" Street's face is also streaked with tears.
They spend a few minutes in silence, as much as they want to fight, the physical fatigue that caused the surgery has an advantage over their stubbornness.
"I'm sorry" Street tells her "I shouldn't have reacted like that. Just the thought of losing you makes me lose my clarity. "
She smiles, "You don't have to apologize, now let's not talk about it anymore. What matters is that we are here together. Right?"
"right"
Chris tries to get closer, and rests his head on Street's shoulder. "Now let's rest though, I'm destroyed"
"Ditto" Street replies
In a few seconds they both fall asleep, one in the arms of the other.
It is around noon that Hondo returns, and she finds them still asleep and clinging to each other.
She smiles at the scene, those two even if they fight constantly, they love each other madly.
Hondo's thoughts are interrupted by the entry of the medical team with Dr. Wick
"Good morning Hondo, how are you?" the doctor asks him
"Actually I just got back, I left them a few hours ago to discuss, and now they are asleep. So I think they're pretty good, "Hondo replies.
"Ok, very well" says the doctor satisfied "from the analyzes there are no anomalies, we can transfer them to the ward, so that the others can see them too, we have a waiting room full since yesterday" comments the doctor
"We are an extended family," replies Hondo.
"Desi, we have to wake them up before moving them" he talks to the nurse
"I can help you if you want," says Hondo
The doctor nods.
"Chris, Street wakes up lovebirds. Keep sleeping after. " Hondo shakes him
"what happens?" says Chris
"what the hell!" Street complains
"Good morning guys," Jack greets them "we can move you to the ward, it's all right for both of you, and you'll be even more comfortable"
"Thank you Jack" Chris smiles at him
Street looks at them, and for the first time she realizes what it feels like to see Chris smile with another man. Chris notices him looking at her and punches him in the arm. At that moment they have a conversation without saying a word, just looking into each other's eyes, and Street's jealous eyes immediately turn into sweet, loving eyes.
Anyone in the room can see how much those two love each other!
