The Loser's Club Ch.29

~~~

The take off was quite somber; they had picked Pilar up on the way to the airport, but expect for weak pleasantries no one really said anything. Sheridan has just finished talking to the pilot and when she returned she found Pilar and Grace seated on the couch y the window talking quietly, while Luis and Sam maintained a small distance form each other just staring off into space. She made her way toward Sam not really sure what to say." Hi Sam, how are you doing?"

" I'm fine considering my daughter is lost in the middle of a hurricane." There was no hiding the anger in his voice, but he regretted it when he saw the hurt look in Sheridan's eyes. "I'm sorry, I just want my daughter home safely."

"I'm sure Kay's fine, hey I survived a hurricane, and I know Kay's twice as tough as me." "Not to mention that Brian would die before he let anything hurt her."  

Sam grimaced; he didn't really want to think that a man dumb enough to sail down in a hurricane would be the one to hold his daughter's life in his hand. Years go he would of trusted Brain with any of his children, but now knew he couldn't trust the man and wouldn't waver from that position. "Thank you for that Sheridan, and the plane and everything."

"It's nothing, I want Kay and Brian home too." She gave him, smile, and a pat on the hand before trying to talk to Luis, who was now just staring out of the window. "He's okay."

Luis looks up when he hears her voice, she wanted to help but she didn't understand. All the things he had said his brother, were so hurtful, he didn't deserve to see his brother again. " Theresa was right."

"What?"

" She said that just because I didn't agree with it didn't make it wrong, and she was right, why couldn't I just support him." His eyes watered, and he lip trembled. " I've known him all my life, and I know the kind of man he is, but I just…"

"You just saw what everyone that didn't know them would see, an older man and a young girl, and you thought it was trouble." Sheridan sat down across form him and took his hand." You forgot that he was your brother, but it wasn't your fault you had been mad at him for so long that it was hard to remember that we you needed to." "He understands, and I bet when you see him he won't even remember half the stuff you said to him."

The intercom stops conversation. "Attention passenger, we'll be landing at Bermuda National Airport in a few minutes, please takes your seats and fasten your seatbelts."

A tall man coming out the cockpit followed the announcement. "Ms. Crane, the launch will be waiting to take you to St. Lisa's Island."

"Thank you, Joe." She gave the group a hopeful smile. " Not much longer now." She prayed she was right, she didn't think anyone of them could handle it if Brian and Kay didn't return.

"Oh Brian." Kay didn't wince when she saw him, because there was no reason to in her mind, he looked like he always did perfect. Yeah his eye was swollen and ghastly purple color, and there was large gash on his forehead, but she didn't really notice, she was too worried about him to care.

Moving into the room she took the seat by his bedside and grabbed his hand, she just stared at it and memorized it. The way it felt when e wiped her hair from her face, took her hand, or hold her face when he would pull her in for a kiss. She heard Liz's footsteps followed by Doc, and looked around his room noticing that he didn't have a roommate. "I want to be moved in here, until I'm released."

"Kay.." Doc started to speak when Liz, nudged him in the ribs and merely shook her head. "Hospital Policy, doesn't really allow…"

He stopped when he saw a look in her eye that scared him, it was a determined look that he had often seen in Brian's and he knew that just like with him she wasn't going to be denied. "I'll get right on it." He pasted by Liz muttering how perfect they were for each other.

"Kay why don't you give your families numbers so I can call them and let them know you okay, and then I can get your stuff from your room."

"All my stuff went down with boat, except for I hope the clothes I was found in, but here my brother's number." She grabbed a piece of paper from a magazine and wrote down Ethan's cell phone number, she didn't want Liz to call the hose and run into her father, and she knew that Ethan would calm everyone down, before people started hopping on planes to come down. "Thank you so much Liz."

Liz gave her a brief hug, and left the room, leaving Kay to holding his hand and praying for him to wake up. "You can't leave me now Brian, I don't know if I could go on without you." She noticed the peaceful look on his face and wondered what he was thinking.

~~

It was so beautiful the house, the children, and of course his wife, Kay.

The children looked exactly like Kay, his son had the same mischievous glint in his eyes, and his daughter had Kay's confident smile. They saw he coming up the walk and broke into a run." Daddy." Brian picked them up with a large grin on his face as his daughter started talking about her day. " We went to the zoo today Daddy, but we had to leave because Tony tried to open the monkey cage." The her blue eyes narrowed and glared at her brother who didn't seem at all bothered by her gaze.

Brain knew he should response or scold his son, but he eyes were too focused on Kay. She was wearing a white sundress, she seemed to be bathed in a light that only increased her beauty, and she returned his look with the same intensity. " So my son's been acting up again."

The little boy that couldn't be more then seven or eight, narrowed his eyes, and took a defensive stance. " I have not, I just wanted to get a closer look, and they had no proof that I was trying to open the cage."

"Except for the fact that you were in the employee area trying to figure out the code access code." His mother said as she returned each and every indignant look Tony gave, and even thought Brian thought he should be upset he couldn't help but be happy just standing there with his family.

"That mean's Tony grounded right Daddy, and that he can't come with us to the Pizza Palace, right?" Looking in to the face that was so much like Kay, he couldn't answer he wanted to say yes to whatever she said, but then there was his son giving a similar look and he turned to his wife for guidance.

"Daddy can't come Gina." Kay takes the girls from her startled father and pulls Tony away.

"Kay, where are you going?"

She shrugs, and the children disappear along with the house." Sorry, but I have to go." She turned and ran off.

Brian ran to catch her, and suddenly found himself back on that hill behind his house with Kay sitting under the tree crying. "Kay, what is going on?"

"It's a dream Brian, it's not real, and it can't be real."

"No it is real or at least it can be, just come with me Chica." He held out his arms and waited for her to come into them, but she never did.

She continued to shake her head. "It can't be real until you wake me, you have to wake up."

After describing Kay and Brain they were told to go to room 245, but when they reached it, they found it empty. Grace began pacing in the small room until someone emerged form the bathroom and gasped in surprise. "Oh my god, Luis, Sheridan, I was just going to call you."

Sheridan smiled when she noticed Liz and walked into the woman's embrace. "Hey, we're looking for Kay and Brain, have you seen them?"

"Yeah, I'm just here moving Kay's thing to Brian's room." She noticed how the older man tensed up at the mention of her friend, and she guessed it was Kay's father, the eyes confirmed it. "She's fine, but she wanted to stay with him." Liz picks up her purse and heads out the door. "Just follow me."   

The group follows her just up the hall and around the corner to another room, where indeed there's Kay sitting by an unmoving Brian holding his hand and whispering something to him.

"Oh Mijo." Pilar gasped at the sight, her big strong son just looked so small and fragile. " Madre Dios."

Kay turned and was stunned by what she saw not just Pilar, but Luis and Sheridan and her parents were standing in the doorway of Brian's room, standing she rushes to calm Pilar's fears." It's not that bad, he just a little bruised."

Pilar looked at Kay and once more thank god, Liz had explained what happened to both of them, and she was amazed that either of them not only survived it, but Kay looked like she hadn't been hurt at all." Oh Kay." She steeped into the room and pulled her into a hug, she regretted not doing this when Brian and Kay announced their relationship. But she had been hesitant she didn't think either was ready for what they were getting into. "I'm so glad you're alright."

Pilar released Kay and moved to sit by Brian, but she was only free for a second before her mother and father had her in a death grip. "Oh sweetie." Grace steeped back and just looked over her daughter making sure that she wasn't injured." Are you okay?"

"Yes Mom, I'm fine." It was wrong but she couldn't help it, but after years of living in Charity's shadow, it felt good to be the center of her mother's attention. "I don't want to go sailing for a while or ever again, but other than that I'm fine."

"Kay, I'm going to go make sure everything Doc's settled everything, okay?" the older woman stayed by the door, watching the reunion, with a bittersweet smile.

"Thanks Liz." Kay smiled at the women and then tensed up when she saw the look on Luis's face, he didn't look that concerned with his brother's condition, and Kay didn't want to have to tell him off today of all days. Sheridan caught her eye and gave her a reassuring nod, and pushed her fiancée toward the bed.

Sam didn't know what to do he had held her in his arms again just liked he wished, but he now had no clue what to say to her. "I'm going to go…uh… talk to your doctor." He kissed her head quickly and then practically ran out the room.  

Grace rolled her eyes, and made a mental note to kill her husband later, because all she wanted now was to look at her daughter. "He's confused right now."

Kay gave a mournful look in the direction of the door, and then shrugged her shoulders." It doesn't matter, can we go for a walk I need to talk to you."

"Sure."

"Guys, I just going to get some air, I'll be right outside if he wakes up." She didn't want to leave him, but she needed to tell someone and her mother was her only option. The three by Brian's bed nodded, and she walked out leading her mother to the balcony at the end of the hall.

"Kay what's wrong, is it Brian?"

"No, when I got thrown from the boat, I don't really remember much, but is it possible that I like … I don't know died a little or something?"

"What, why would you ask that?"

Kay sat down on the bench outside and let her mind wander back to the only part of the accident that she remembered, the face of her hero and mystery savior that wasn't a mystery to her at all. " Because the guy that pulled me out the water was………" "I mean it couldn't have been who I thought it was because he's well…………"

"Who?" Whoever he was, was going to be thanked for the rest of his life. "Did you get their name?"

"I already knew his name." Kay stood and started pacing." Or at least I think I know his name."

"Kay you're killing me who was it?"

"Julian Crane."
