The door opened and Ty's head shot up. It was the doctor.
"How is she? She made it right?" He demanded.
"Relax" the doctor, replied "She made it through surgery."
"Can we see her?" Ty asked, eagerly getting to his feet.
"One of you and only for a few minutes, we don't want to disturb her, the next 48 hours are critical" he told Ty "She's in room 23"
Ty nodded and headed towards her room. When he reached it, he paused almost nervous. I'm so glad you hung in there Alex, Ty thought as he opened the door. He gazed around the room in surprise. This is definitely not where I thought I would see Alex, not here, it's too unherish, but then again everything about this whole thing is. Ty strode over to the bed and took her hand in his. She's so cold, why's she so cold, I'll ask the doctor later, I've got plenty of time to talk to him. I have to be with her now. That's the most important thing.
"Alex, it's Ty, everything's going to be ok. I'll find the guy who did this and make sure he never hurts you again, don't give up please, I don't know what I would without you, so you have to be alright, I need you. I love you, don't leave me" Ty pleaded and then slipped away, knowing his time was up. He wiped away the tear that trickled down his face, be strong Ty, he told himself, be strong for Alex. He walked back to the waiting room to tell the others. When he got there, they assaulted him with questions.
"She's fine" Ty said, images of her lying pale and cold on the bed, flashing through his mind. "The doctor said the surgery went well."
"When can we see her?" Kim asked, tightening her hold on Bobby.
"They let me up but not for very long, the doctor said the next 48 hours are critical so I don't really know" Ty admitted. Kim nodded and stood, detangling herself from Bobby.
"I'll come back tomorrow" She told Ty "You should go home and get some rest, I'll give you a lift if you want?"
"No thanks, I'm going to take the squad back and change, I'll see you tomorrow" With that he turned and left.
"Well, we should go" Doc said standing up "There's no point in staying" The others agreeing, all left. Over at the station, Ty hurriedly changed. Maybe they'll let me stay the night outside her room, he thought walking outside to his car. A few minutes later he pulled up at the hospital, and went in search of the doctor.
"What can I do for you?" the doctor asked.
"I was wondering, I know you said she wasn't allowed visitors, but could I . could I stay with her, I hate the idea of her all alone up there" Ty asked, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"Which patient would you be asking about?" He inquired politely.
"Oh!! Alex Taylor" Ty replied.
"I don't know, she probably won't be awake, that's one of the reasons I said no real visitors and she's in rough shape, I don't want her waking up and trying to talk, I'll have to say no" he answered thoughtfully.
Can I stay outside her room then?" Ty asked "Please"
"Um. I guess so" he replied "It won't be very comfortable though"
"That's ok" Ty replied instantly.
"Do you think Alex will be ok" Kim asked, resting her head on Bobby's shoulder.
"She'll be fine, Alex is tough" he assured her, wrapping his arms around her "You worry too much."
"I have to worry" Kim responded, "You were dead from the same thing, how did you live anyways?"
"Well, apparently the doctors performed an extremely chancy operation on me, that they didn't think would work, so they didn't tell you guys about it, they only talked to my mom about it" he explained.
"Well, when you lived, why didn't they tell us" She demanded almost angrily.
"I asked them not to" Bobby replied gently "I had a lot of things I had to sort out, by myself, I know you would've helped, but it was something I had to do by myself."
"Ok" Kim said, "Did you sort them out?"
"Yeah, yeah I did" Bobby replied smiling at her " I did" "Bobby?" Kim murmured
"Yeah?"
"I lied when I said what happened between us was a mistake, I.. you were just moving too fast for me, I'm sorry" she clung to him "Don't get dead again."
"You have nothing to be sorry for" Bobby told her "And don't worry I'm not going anywhere."
"Good" Kim said, yawning
"Why don't we get some sleep now?" he suggested turning of the light.
