NOTES: I just wrote this, and I'm very sick. So if it's terrible, now you
know why. I just wanted to get another part out.
TITLE: Midnight Train (30/?)
"Good morning," Richards walked in and woke CJ.
"What?" CJ asked, still half asleep.
"Well, today's the day we see what exactly you can and can't do by yourself," Richard smiled, walking over to CJ's bed.
"Ok," CJ looked up at him, confused. "Can we do it later?" She said while closing her eyes again.
"Just think. The sooner you're able to get up a move around, the sooner you will be able to get out of here," Richards smiled and grabbed CJ's arm. "Let me help you up," He said, lifting CJ's body to an upright position.
"What about Toby?" She asked.
"CJ, the thought of walking or moving around makes my body hurt," Toby mumbled from his bed.
"Good morning," Richards smiled. "How're you feeling this morning?"
"It seems worse when I wake up," Toby pointed out.
"Yeah," Richards agreed. "Do you need anything before I take CJ out?"
"I'm good. I have the remote," Toby moved his head over and grinned at CJ.
"Yeah, but when I get back, it's mine," CJ glared.
"Says you," Toby chuckled.
"Ok, what we are going to try to do is have you stand by yourself," Richards said to CJ. "I'll be right here next to you, so don't be afraid to fall."
"She falls even when she's not hurt," Toby joked. "She's my little klutz."
"When I get back, I'm going to kill you," CJ glared.
"Ok," Richards smiled; he couldn't help but be amused at how these two got along. "I'll hold your hand while you attempt to stand," Richards told CJ.
"Ok," CJ took a deep breath and began to move closer to the edge of the bed.
"Now, you are going to feel some pain in your back, but that normal," Richards pointed out as CJ's feet touched the ground.
"Ok," CJ flinched.
"Why would her back hurt?" Toby asked, concerned.
"Oh, now look who's concerned," CJ snapped, sarcastically.
"It's just something that happens to people who were in accidents. It's like whiplash. The patient will either feel it in the lower back, or the upper part," Richards explained. "How are you holding up?" He asked CJ.
"Why does the ground seem so far away?" She growled.
"Because in the accident, you shrunk," Toby smiled.
"Shut up Ziegler," CJ snapped as she stood up. "Oh my," She closed her eyes tight.
"What is it?" Toby asked.
"I'm dizzy,"
"It's normal, just stand there until that feeling goes away,"
"Do I get pain medication after this?" She moaned.
"If you're a good girl," Toby laughed.
"Will you throw my bedpan at him?" She asked, while looking over at Richards.
"I think it would hurt him," Richards pointed out, smiling.
"I know," CJ said seriously.
"Ok," Richards laughed. "How's the dizzy feeling?"
"It's going away," CJ nodded.
"CJ," Toby smiled.
"What?" She snapped.
"Well, it doesn't bother me, but I think some of the other patients may have a problem looking at your bare back side," Toby smiled, pointing to the back of her gown.
"Sorry," Richards grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around her back.
"You just gave him a free show," CJ glared at Richards.
"Lets see how far you can walk," Richards changed the subject, quickly.
"Yeah, run a mile for him," Toby laughed.
"Shut up," She yelled, beginning to walked around her bed, slowly.
"How do you feel?" Richards asked, still holding her hand.
"Okay," She nodded. She was moving slowly, but she didn't care. She was just happy to be walking again.
"You're doing good," Toby said seriously as she approached his bed.
"Thank you," CJ smiled. "Now, you get up and walk,"
"Yeah, and kill myself," Toby glared. "Why are you walking over here?" Toby asked, watching CJ walk closer to his bed.
"Because I'm going to hit you," CJ growled.
"Maybe we've done enough for one day," Richards tried to stop, but CJ pulled him gently.
"I agree," Toby said, not able to move. "CJ, remember how bad I'm hurt?"
"Yes," She said.
"And hitting me may hurt me worse,"
"Yes,"
"CJ." Toby looked up at CJ, as she stopped next to his bed.
"Give me the remote, and I'll let you live," She grinned.
"Okay," Toby quickly handed it over.
"Thank you," She smiled. "Doctor?"
"Yeah?"
"Am I able to bend down?" CJ asked, not taking her eyes off Toby.
"You should be able to," Richards nodded.
"Good," CJ smiled and bent down slowly.
"You're going to kill me," Toby whispered.
"No," She smiled and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I think I liked that better," Toby smiled, as CJ stood back up.
"I thought you would," She smiled. "I can go back to bed now," She looked over at Richards.
