Chapter 1- I'm Taking You Home
Author Notes- Okay here is the sequal to Male Bonding some of you were asking for. Thanks to Colleen and JO for betaing for me! I owe you guys!
The crutch thrust out of the opened car door followed by a leg and the rest of Jamie Waite. He swayed for a moment before he got situated on his crutch. Smiling at the driver of the car, his brother Peter, he slowly, but surely made his way into the EMS station. Jamie was glad to be home that's for sure, but the lingering pain and long hospital stay made him want to be anywhere but there. His right leg dragged and he leaned heavily against the brace for support. The bear attack had left him with some damaged nerves, effecting his right leg. Finally entering the station, a small smile tugged on his lips. Brooke Lanier had her head bent over some paperwork.
"I'll be with you in a minute." She said without looking up.
"Oh, don't worry there's no rush." Brooke's head snapped up.
"Jamie!" She squealed, flinging herself around the desk and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Hi Brooke." He replied smoothly.
"We didn't think you were coming home until Sunday!"
"I got out on good behavior." Jamie said with a wink.
"Brooke, who are you-" Val Lanier stopped, her jaw dropping.
"Jamie!" Val launched herself at Jamie, Brooke quickly sidestepping. Unfortunately for him, in her surprise and delight, Val failed to realize how hard she launched herself. With a grunt, Jamie hit a wall, his crutch clattering to the floor. "Oh! Jamie I'm sorry!" Val picked up the crutch quickly handing it back to him.
"What's all the noise out there?!" The irritated voice could only belong to Alex.
"Sorry Alex." Jamie called, there was a brief pause and Alex appeared in the door way.
"Jamie...what are you doing here?"
"Good to see you too." Jamie replied curtly. Alex flushed a slight bit.
"I didn't mean it that way."Jamie grinned.
"I know." It was then Tyler and Hank came back from getting lunch. Tyler in the lead stopped cold in his tracks, his eyes going wide. Hank crashed into his from behind.
"Tyler! Why'd you stop?" Hank peered around Tyler and broke out into a wide grin.
"Jamie, Your back!"
"No duh." Brooke muttered, evoking a smile from Jamie.
"So how's it feel to be home?" Val asked grinning at him.
"Oh, its great."
"Does Caitie know your back?" Hank asked.
"Nope, she's the next stop on the way home." Jamie replied.
"Who drove you? I doubt you rode your motorcycle I mean." Tyler said.
"My brother. He's picking me up in an hour."
"This is so great that your back!" Val squealed.
"Thanks...um would you mind if I sat down?"
"Oh!" Hank and Tyler started moving quickly, in an almost comical fashion, searching for a chair.
"The couch?" Hank called after a moment of chaos.
"Sure, whatevers good." Jamie hobbled his way into the ready room and slowly eased himself down on the couch.
"Are you um okay?" Tyler asked uneasily.
"Eh, I've been better." Jamie replied leaning his crutch up against the wall.
"Well, its so great to have you home!" Brooke said smiling.
"Thank you." Jamie said with a smile. The group chatted until Peter returned. The other watched from the window as with great effort, Jamie got in the car.
***************************************************
Caitie's cry of surprise was so loud it brought her mother into the room. She threw her arms around him, and much like Val had before, his crutch clattered to the ground. Unfortunately this time, Jamie did not hit and wall and fell backwards, landing hard on the floor.
"Oh Jamie! I'm sorry!" Caitie cried leaping up and attempting to pull him to his feet. He gasped for a moment before holding up his hand to stop her.
"Just....let me get up myself please." She backed away and watched him painfully stagger to his feet, leaning heavily against his crutch.
"I'm so sorry!"
"Its all right." Jamie said as he stood wobbly.
"I was just so surprised to see you..." He just smiled. "When will you be back in school?"
"Monday." Jamie replied.
"Isn't that a little soon?" Caitie asked, knitting her eyebrows together.
"Naw, I'll have my crutch and the school has already been informed."
"Well, will you at least let me take you to school? My Mom finally broke down and got me a car while you were gone!"
"Yes Jamie, please allow Caitie to drive you." Mrs. Roth said startling them. "I mean, it would be good to have at least one good driver in the car."
"Mom!" Caitie protested. Jamie snickered softly.
"I'm sorry, but I need to go. My brother is waiting outside in the driveway, I was suppose to go straight home when I got here, but talked him into letting me drop by the station and here."
"Oh well, you timed it well, I just got home."
"I know, that's why I went to the station first." Jamie smirked and headed out her front door.
"I'll pick you up Monday!" Caitie called after him grinning.
******************************************************
Monday had come very quickly. Caitie climbed out of the car and walked to the front door. Knocking she heard the dragging step and watched as the front door opened slowly.
"Hey Caitie. Let me just grab my-" He stopped as Peter materialized with his bag. "Okay, nevermind."
"Bring him right home please Caitie." Jamie rolled his eyes but Caitie nodded.
"Sure thing." She watched as Jamie shuffled towards the car. After a brief struggled to get in and situate his crutch, they were off to school.
****************************************************
Caitie walked slowly as Jamie hobbled towards his locker. He had already been greeted by several people.
"James!" Jamie stopped and looked down the hallway.
"Oh no..." He muttered as he watched the rapidly approaching figure.
There we go! This if for those of you who wanted a sequel to Male Bonding. There ya go! If ya like this I'll continue, if not, then I won't!
