The nurse walks into Elizabeth's room with a smile on her face. "Good morning Elizabeth, how are you feeling today?" she asks.
Elizabeth turns her head to the side as she slowly opens her eyes. "I'm feeling good." She says. She sits herself up and runs a hand over her hair.
The nurse walks over to the bed smiling. "That's good to hear. I've come in to take you out for a walk. How does that sound?" she asks her.
"Great. I've been in this bed forever." She says. She pushes the covers away from herself and then stretches as she swings her legs over the side of the bed.
The nurse hands Elizabeth the cane and grabs her arm, helping her stand up. She lets Elizabeth slide her slippers on and then she puts the cane into her hand and directs her to the door. "So Elizabeth, I saw you had a visitor a few days ago. Is he your boyfriend?" she asks smiling as she opens the door and leads her out into the hallway.
Elizabeth smiles softly and could feel herself blush at the mention of Jason's visit. "Um, I'm not sure." She says.
The nurse nods with a smile on her face and leads her down the hallway slowly. "Well, he's very cute. I didn't get a good look at him on his way into your room but once he left I saw him. You're a very lucky girl." She says.
Elizabeth smiles and nods her head as she walks next to the nurse. "Thank you." She says.
"Do you know if he's planning on coming back?" she asks. The nurse starts to look over at Elizabeth when she sees the man in question standing off to the side watching them. She smiles in his direction and then looks back towards Elizabeth when he starts to walk over to them.
Elizabeth takes a deep breath and lets it out. "I don't know, I certainly hope so though." She says.
Jason walks over and smiles at the nurse and then looks at Elizabeth, putting his finger to his lips signaling the nurse not to tell her he was standing there. The nurse smiles back and turns her head towards Elizabeth. "Let's have you try a few steps by yourself now Elizabeth. Then I'll take your arm back." She says. She lets Elizabeth's arm go and takes a step away from her and watches as she tries to walk on her own.
Elizabeth nods her head and takes a deep breath and holds it in as she takes her first stop on her own. She swings the cane out to her right side and then back to the left as she steps forward. She lets out her breath as she feels that she has the hang of it and continues to take small steps forward.
Jason watches her with a small smile on his face, noticing how determined she is. How determined she has always been. He walks ahead of her and turns around to face her, watching her come towards him. He keeps his eyes on her face as she gets closer and closer.
"Tell me if I'm going to run into anything. I'm not sure if I have the hang of it yet." She says to the nurse, thinking that she was right by her side. She takes another few steps forward and then walks right into someone. "Oh, I'm so sorry." She says and takes a step backwards. She brings a hand up to her hair nervously and tucks it behind her ear.
Jason smiles and reaches out for her, taking her hand into his, pulling it away from her hair. "Oh, it's quite alright Miss Webber." He says softly.
Elizabeth's head quickly lifts up and then she smiles. "Jason?" she asks.
The nurse walks over and gently touches Elizabeth's arm with a smile. "Elizabeth, I'll let him walk you back to your room. Enjoy your walk." She says and walks away.
Jason slides his hands down and joins his with hers as they stand in the hallway.
"How long have you been watching me?" she asks with a smile.
"Long enough to see how determined you are to get out of this hospital. You've always been determined." He says smiling.
Elizabeth takes a step closer to Jason and brings a hand up to rest on his chest, touching his leather jacket. She lifts her face up towards his and smiles softly. "I thought that I could smell something familiar." She says with a soft smile.
Jason grins and leans down and lightly kisses her forehead. "Want to walk?" he asks her, noticing people staring at them just standing in the hallway. He pulls back and slides his hand down to her free hand and steps to her side, slowly starting to walk with her. "Where do you want to go?" he asks her with a smile and a gentle squeeze of her hand.
Elizabeth turns her face up to his and smiles. "Anywhere." She says.
**I was going to write something with Emily and Nikolas in this chapter but I'm not sure what to do with them. Elizabeth and Jason just seems to be coming to me easier. Let me know if any of you have suggestions.
