Warrick sat on the chair watching over Jan. He would never let her go again.
Greg tapped Warrick gently on the shoulder. "You want soemthing to drink? Coffee? Soda?" Greg whispered.
"Coffee. I'm begining to Fall asleep." He forced a grin, "Thanks."
Greg nodded and left the room to get them both something to drink.
Jan mumbled in her sleep, and was starting to toss and turn slightly. It was apparant that she was having a bad dream. Warrick leaned over to her, just so he could rest her with his hand, "Shh, it's only a dream, I'm here to protect you this time." He whispered softly.
Greg walked back in Jan's hospital room with two large coffee's. "Hey... how is she?"
"She was having a bad dream," He took one of the coffees, "Thanks Greg."
"No problem... hey, if you want, I could stay up with her while you take a nap or something... " greg offered.
"Nah, I'm ok. You sleep, I'll wake you if I'm tired." Warrick smiled. Thats was one advantage of his job, he was able to stay awake when he needed to.
"Ok..." Greg nodded. "Wake me if jan or you needs anything ok?" Greg setted back in one of the chairs
Warrick nodded and sipped the coffee. He watched Jan and frowned, he couldn't begin to think of the pain she was in. Jan started to toss and turn again, until she jumped up in bed, waking up in a cold sweat. She looked around quickly to remember where she was.
"Jan? It's ok, you're in the hosptial..." He got up and was about to hug her. He stopped, unsure if he should.
Jan took a few deep breaths and nodded. "yea... right... the hospital...." She confirmed to herself she was safe. "yea... I was having a bad dream... it felt so real...." Jan said more to herself than Warrick.
"It was only a dream... I'm here, nothing is gonna happen to you. I promise." Warrick said looking at her.
Jan nodded. "I.. uh... I don't think I can get back to sleep right now... I think I'm gonna get some water..."
"I'll get it." Warrick said.
He poured the water out the jug, "Here. I put more ice init. I know how you hate it warm."
Jan forced a small smile. "Thank you..." She took the glass and had a few sips.
Warrick stepped back and looked to the floor.
"what's wrong?" Jan asked slowly.
"I.. I... I hate seeing you like this, I don't know what to do..." Warrick blurted out, wishing he hadn't.
"I'm sorry... " Jan frowned. She sat up on the bed.
"It's not your fault! It's mine, I mean I should know cos of my job... but I don't."
Jan didn't know what to say to him, to make this better, easier, for him. "What can I say? or do? that'll make this better for you? easier on you?" Jan swallowed back the tears. "Maybe it'd be easier for you if you weren't here..." Jan said, knowing she was pushing him away, but couldn't help it.
"No, no... I want to be here, I have nowhere else to go, and if I did I'd be thinking of you. I just want to protect you." Warrick said stepping closer.
Jan frowned, and sighed. She put the water on the bedside table and laid back down in bed.
Warrick sat in the chair, "I'm sorry Jan..."
"It's not your fault...." jan whispered.
"I should have been there..." He looked at her. She had the most beautiful eyes.
"but you weren't... you couldn't have... "
"Still... I failed you. I mean I see why you don't want me anymore..." Warrick said.
"I didn;t say that...."
He looked at her. "You'd better get some rest."
"Fine.." Jan turned on her side and closed her eyes, feeling a tear roll down her cheek.
Warrick sat back and whispered softly thikning she couldn't hear him, "I love you Jan."
Jan frowned and thought to herself. *How could you love me now? after this?*
Warrick wiped his face. *She's needs support, not your doubts...*
Greg tapped Warrick gently on the shoulder. "You want soemthing to drink? Coffee? Soda?" Greg whispered.
"Coffee. I'm begining to Fall asleep." He forced a grin, "Thanks."
Greg nodded and left the room to get them both something to drink.
