Lost Reunion
By: Janis
Chapter 3
They were airlifted to the Memorial Hospital in Dallas. The emergency team was waiting for them when they landed; they rushed Sydney inside, Gage stayed with her as long as they would let him.
The nurse took Gage to the waiting room; he sank in the nearest chair, holding his head in his hands. A few minutes later the nurse came back to say they would be taking Sydney to surgery.
"Can I see her for a minute first?"
"I'll check for you Ranger."
The nurse disappeared through the doors coming out in a minute motioning to Gage to follow her. Sydney was softly crying as Gage took her hand.
"I'm sorry Gage, I didn't want this to happen."
"Shh Honey, it's all right, it's not your fault. I'll be here waiting for you when you wake up."
Gage kissed her forehead, he held her hand as they wheeled her to the elevator and went up with her to the operating rooms.
Another nurse took him to a second waiting room with a promise that someone would let him know when Ranger Cooke was taken to recovery. Gage hardly heard her speaking to him; he walked over to the window and looked out, wondering how this could have happened to them.
That is where Walker found him. After they had gotten back and settled, Alex had insisted that Walker go see how Gage and Sydney were doing. He put his hand on Gage's shoulder, it was almost more then Gage could stand as tears began to form again in his eyes.
"I can't begin to know what you are feeling," Walker told Gage, "I want you to know anything Alex or I can do we will."
"I know Walker, Thanks."
"Ranger Gage?"
"Yes," Gage answered as he turned around.
"I'm Doctor Marsh, Sydney is out of surgery and she is going to be fine. She came through everything with no complications. She will have no problem having children in the future."
Gage breathed a sigh of relief as he asked if he could see her.
"In just a few minutes we are getting her settled in her room."
Gage thanked the Doctor then turned to Walker, " I appreciate you being here for Sydney and me but you are needed at home as well. I call if there is anything at all."
Gage hugged Walker who told him to give their love to Sydney as well. The nurse came to get Gage and Walker left.
**********
The door was propped open and Gage stood in the doorway for a few minutes watching the IV drip. He didn't know what he could say or do to make this better for her. Finally, he walked over to the bed, and after pulling the chair up close, he took Sydney's hand in his. Slowly she opened her eyes, she was glad Gage was there with her.
"Hey you, how you feeling?"
"I'm glad you're here," she said as she tightened her grip on his hand.
"I got to meet Doctor Marsh, she says you came through everything fine and we'll be able to have lots of other babies."
"And just how could you ever trust me enough to do that," Sydney turned her head from Gage as more tears began to fall.
"Sydney Cooke look at me," Gage commanded. Sydney wiped her face with her hand and slowly turned back to face him. He was standing over her now as he spoke, "I would trust the care of any unborn children we may have the same way I trust you with my life every day. You are a good person Syd, I thank God every day that you are in my life. I love you."
The tears were falling again. Gage sat on the edge of the bed and lifted her into his arms holding her safely against him.
"I'm the lucky one, I don't know how I'd get through this without your love," Sydney whispered to him.
He held her until she fell asleep against him, then he gently laid her back against her pillow. Taking her hand in his, he took his place in his chair and fell asleep there, his head resting on her bed.
**********
By now, Boyd and Steve had heard news of the accident. They had met up with some old pals of Steve's who had told them about it. They had been drunk ever since. One thing was for sure; the more they drank the more they blamed that little Ranger and her friend for what happened.
"We should have killed them right when we first laid eyes on them. None of this would have happened if we had done things right to start with. They are the ones that brought this bad luck on us."
The more Steve Davis drank the more outlandish his accusations became. The more he talked the more his buddies wanted to help Steve put things right. They all loaded into their trucks and headed for the Davis farm with the intentions of setting the record straight.
As they approached the farm, they could see the place was being over run with police and law enforcement.
"Looks like they got lucky," slurred Steve.
"Not lucky enough, we're going to Dallas," Boyd stated.
**********
"Gage, are you awake? Gage," Sydney was running her fingers through his hair as she spoke.
"What time is it?" Gage asked as the events of the last twenty-four hours came flooding back into his mind.
"Around five in the afternoon."
"Hi you two," Doctor Marsh had dropped in to check on Sydney before heading out for the night, "If I could get you to step outside for a minute Ranger, I'll see how Sydney is doing. Hopefully we will be able to send her home with you tomorrow."
Gage stood up, "I'll just be outside," he announced as he left the room. Stretching his legs he walked down towards the elevator, where Erica and Jimmy were getting off.
"Hey Gage we're just coming to see you. How's Sydney doing?"
"Pretty good I think all considered. The doctor is in there checking her out hopefully she'll be able to come home in the morning."
"How are you feeling Gage?"
"I'll be all right now that I know Syd is. Together we'll get past this. Can I ask you two for a favour? Can you stay here with Syd, while I go home and pick up a few things for her."
"Sure we don't mind at all."
Doctor Marsh opened the door to Syd's room and smiled as she emerged, "She's doing good, I'll be here before lunch tomorrow to see about signing her out."
"Hey that's great."
"Get moving before she is out here looking for you," laughed the Doctor.
Everyone laughed because they all knew how true that statement was. Gage opened the door and they went in.
"Look who I found loitering in the hall," said Gage as he went over to sit beside Syd.
"Hey Syd, how you feeling?"
"Erica, Jimmy, I'm feeling pretty good," Sydney replied putting a smile on her face.
"Syd, if it's okay with you I'm going to run home and pick up a few things for you while you visit."
"I think I'll be safe until you get back," she squeezed his hand, "don't be too long."
"Won't even miss me," he kissed the top of her head and was out the door.
**********
Gage had headed straight over to Syd's apartment, as he walked down the hall towards the door he noticed that it was open. Gage drew his gun and cautiously pushed the door open the rest of the way with his foot. No one was there now but the place had been completely destroyed.
There wasn't a part of the apartment that wasn't vandalised. Gage called Walker, who was on his way with Alex to visit Sydney.
"You'd better stop by her apartment first," Gage told him and began explaining what had happened.
"We're on our way."
By the time Walker and Alex got there the place was all ready being dusted for prints. They had Syd's bag that she had taken with her to go to Houston which was good because that was about all that was left.
"Any ideas on this Gage?"
"None. I'm going to swing by my place and see if it looks the same then head back to the hospital."
"Good idea we'll see you there."
Gage's place looked exactly as he had left it. He grabbed a quick shower and headed back to the hospital, he didn't look forward to telling Sydney the latest piece of news.
***********
"Too bad the little Ranger wasn't home when we came a calling, ay Boyd."
Boyd McClain, Steve Davis and two of Steve's old buddies sat talking over a few beers. They had got in to town earlier, found out where Sydney lived and went to pay her a call.
"Boyd, you hear me?"
Boyd was busy studying a photograph he had taken from Syd's apartment. It was a picture of her and Gage taken at the Bar-B-Q at Alex and Walkers.
"Wonder who this blonde guy is?" Boyd speculated, "Maybe that's who we should go after so our little Ranger will know the pain we are going through. Let's find out who this is."
Steve and his pals all smiled in agreement.
**********
Gage got to the hospital before Walker and Alex. He came across the room and gave Syd a kiss.
"What took you so long we were ready to put an APB out on you," Trivette teased.
"What's the matter Gage?"
Gage could never hide anything from Sydney and this was no exception. He sat on the edge of her bed and took her hand in his.
"There's a problem with your apartment."
"What kind of a problem?" She was beginning to grip his hand a little tighter.
"When I got there tonight the door was slightly open. Someone has broken in and destroyed everything inside. I'm sorry Syd."
Gage had his arm around her now, he could tell she was fighting back tears.
Erica was the first to speak she came over to Syd and took her hand, "If you want some help going through things and cleaning up let me know, I'd be more then happy to give you a hand."
Sydney actually smiled, "Thanks Erica, I might take you up on that offer."
"What offer?" asked Alex as she and Walker came in.
"To help with the clean up," replied Sydney.
Sydney was glad to see Alex, Gage moved out of the way so Alex could come sit next to her. He joined Walker and Trivette who were standing near the door.
"Find anything out on those prints?"
"Steve Davis and some of his friends."
"What about McClain?"
"Nothing was found to tie him to it, but then he is less likely to leave evidence," Walker was explaining. "Gage, Trivette and I are going to look after this. I want you to spend some time with your partner. This has been hard for both of you and now Sydney is being targeted, she needs your protection."
Gage could feel the anger inside him, he nodded in agreement with Walker as he held it in check.
Erica came over to Jimmy and put her arm through his, "I think we should be going I think we've tired Syd out enough for one night."
Alex and Walker agreed with Erica and in a few minutes Gage and Sydney were alone again. Syd moved over and Gage slid into her bed beside her putting his arms around her.
