"I don't want him to!" said Lisa Bridges.
"Mom!" Cassidy cries in disbelief! "I thought you were in Paris? When did you have time to come back and visit us?"
"Well, I heard that your father was kidnapped and well... I was worried for him." Lisa said.
"Why do you object?" asks Doctor Dea irritably.
"What if something goes wrong? What if an accident happens? It's just that I don't want anything bad happening to him because I still li....." Lisa stops, and thinks.
"You still WHAT?" Joe asks.
"I still... I still..." Lisa stutters.
"YOU STILL WHAT??????" Everybody says in unison.
"Ok... I still have feelings for him! OK? There... it's out in the open." Lisa replies.
Everybody stands in the hospital room with their mouth hanging open in awe. Everybody is silent for 30 seconds. Finally, Cassidy breaks the silence.
"Mom, you really have feelings for him still?"
"Yes... strong feelings to be exact. I still love him!" Lisa says passionately while looking at Nash unconcious.
"Oh boy, will Nash be surprised when he wakes up!" Joe says, pitying Nash.
"Well, that's the reason I came back to San Francisco. I wanted to tell Nash that I still loved him. But I didn't know that he would be unconscious and that he would have a brain tumor! If he has a brain tumor, then the doctors have to shave that attractive blonde hair off of his head!" Lisa says sadly.
"It's the only thing we can do to save his life. It's either that or he dies. What is your decision?" Doctor Dea asks.
Everybody waits for Lisa's answer nervously. Finally, Lisa says to go ahead with the operation.
"If anything goes wrong, I'm suing you Doctor Dea!" Lisa says jokingly.
"Don't worry ma'am. He's in good hands. We won't do anything wrong. It will be a perfect operation." Doctor Matthews says.
"So when will this operation take place, Doctor Devlin?" Antwon asks. "Maybe we can go out and get a cup of coffee if you aren't too busy."
Doctor Devlin replies, "Are you trying to hit on me Inspector Babcock?"
"Maybe baby." Antwon says.
"Maybe I can squeeze you in. How about dinner instead of that coffee?"
"That's fine with me baby. Hey... can I have your number?" Antwon says.
"Maybe later darling. Dinner at the Ana Mandara. Pick me up at 7 o'clock. Don't be late..." She says, leaving Antwon in a trance.
"Don't worry! I won't be late!" Antwon says after her.
"Did you just get a date, man?" Harv asks in awe. "Ya know... women don't always come that easily. Cherish her man."
"Chill man, I will." Antwon says still staring at her.
"OK guys, I have to split now." Cassidy says after a long period of silence. "I have a dinner to get to."
"Oh yeah. Me too. Sorry Nash, I gotta go. Not that you can hear me." Joe says to himself.
"Antwon, c'mon let's get back to the SIU. We got alotta work to do!"
"Aight." Antwon says, still in a trance.
Soon, it is just Lisa and Nash alone. Lisa walks over to Nash's bed and caresses him with her smooth hand.
"Oh Nash, you don't know about how I feel at all, do you?" Lisa says, thinking she's talking to herself.
"Yes I do." Nash suddenly says. "I was awake the whole time you guys were visiting me. I heard everything."
"So you know that I still love you, right?" Lisa says.
"Yeah, sister. I know everything. Guess what? Maybe after I'm done with this surgery, we can go and have a nice quiet dinner. How's about that?" Nash says.
"OK Nash. But first you have to get through this surgery! Good luck."
She kisses Nash on the cheek, but Nash pulls her in for a kiss. They kiss for the first time in years. It was a long passionate kiss. Nash finally lets go.
"Sorry ma'am. We have to bring him into the OR now." Doctor Atkinson says.
As Doctor Atkinson rolled Nash out of the room, Nash says to Lisa...
"I love you too."
They grasp hands at the last moment while Doctor Atkinson rolls him out. Their hands release each other. As a farewell.
"I'll be waiting for you Nash!"
