Passing The Time
Joanie sat in the deserted waiting room. She looked at her watch; it had been two hours since Fonzie went in for surgery. According to her calculations he still had three hours to go. She couldn't take the waiting; it was making her feel a little toys in the attic. A small laugh escaped her; she was starting to sound just like her precious husband.
"Oh, Fonzie" she whispered to herself. Now in days every thought usually someway or another always ended up being about him. Besides anxious and worried she also felt alone. She wished her mom and dad could be with her right now. Things wouldn't be so unbearable if she had her family to comfort her.
FLASHBACK - A YEAR AGO
"By the power invested in me and the state of Wisconsin. I know pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride," the minister said, giving the two love birds their blessing.
Fonzie lifted Joanie into his arms. Their lips immediately coming together in a loving kiss. All the guest cheered as they turned to face them as husband and wife.
Marion and Lori Beth cried of happiness while Richie and Howard beamed with pride. It was a small casual wedding. Consisting of only ten guest, which included the family and their friends. Both Fonzie and Joanie had wanted it to be that way. Wanting only their love ones to join them in the union of their lives. The only real request they had been adamant about had been that the ceremony be performed at the small pond in which they had realized their love for each other.
As they all made their way up to the house for refreshment, Fonzie took a good look at his young bride. Joanie looked absolutely radiant, there was a special glow about her. Not even in her first wedding to Chachi had she been so happy, which secretly thrilled him. It meant that this was truly it, both for her and him. Fonzie truly felt as if he had begun living the exact moment the minister had pronounced them husband and wife. Finally, after thirty-something years Arthur Fonzarelli was no longer alone, he now had someone to call his own.
"I love you," he whispered into her ear as they climbed the stairs to the large patio. Joanie couldn't help but blush, she felt light headed and fancy free. But at the same time she also felt remorse, about her first marriage. Not about ending it, but for allowing it to happen.
After being with Fonzie for half a year already she realized that the only reason she had started dating Chachi in the first place had been, because he reminded her so much of Fonzie. It pained her to admit that Chachi had been a poor-man's Fonzie. Being too late now, the only thing she could do was wish him all the happiness in the world.
"Dr. Green you're needed in the E.R." a pleasant voice announced over the intercom.
Joanie turned her head and saw the doctor coming out of the surgery. Immediately she jumped to her feet and met halfway.
"Is he ok?" she asked beating him to the chase.
The doctor nodded and gave her a wide smile, "Everything went perfect, but we still aren't sure about the result. With time and physical therapy we'll see."
Joanie felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders. If the surgery had gone fine then there was a now a very good chance of him walking again. It all depended on how devoted he was to his recovery, and knowing Fonzie he would cooperate a hundred and ten percent.
Yes, thing were starting to look up and she was finally starting to fully see the light shinning through the darkness of their lives.
