"Easy there" Rafe said helping Danny out of the Elevator and into the Apartment that Rafe had proclaimed for himself, Evelyn and Danny.
"Hey I CAN walk thanks Rafe" Danny says sinking onto the couch, one of the only pieces of furniture in the entire apartment.
"Okay, Danny there are three bedrooms, well two bedrooms and a large pantry," Rafe says sitting next to Danny,
"OK I can sleep in the pantry,"
"Don't be silly, there are two bedrooms, and a queen bed in the master bedroom Danny," Evelyn says walking through the door holding her purse under one arm and the crutch that Danny had thrown down when they first walked into the building.
Danny looks at her,
"Um so you want me to sleep in the master bedroom? Don't you want the nice bedroom Evelyn?" She looked at him, and said real slowly like he was a little kid,
"You and I will stay in the master bedroom okay?" Danny looks at her his mouth hanging open slightly,
"Ok" he says looking at her, He knows that he should propose, but first he needs to get her a ring.
"Good" she walks over to the little kitchen and starts to fix a lunch of leftover stew she made a few days before that.
Rafe was trying not to laugh at his friend's stupidity, so he had a fist over his mouth,
Danny just stared at him, and raised an eyebrow at him,
"I'm sorry Danny its just funny"
"Okay fine. I need to lie down I think." Danny got up and off the couch with almost no difficulty,
"Which one is my... out bedroom?" he asked Evelyn,
"Down the hall second door on your left," she said, "I'll bring you lunch in a few minutes" she says smiling at him which he could only return,
Danny walks down the hall and into the master bedroom, it was nice actually the one room that was almost fully furnished. It had a queen size wrought iron bed frame and a light blue bed spread, it had lamps with blue shades, and blue curtains with figurines on the shelves by the windows. There was a seat at the end of the bed, with a light blue pattern of delicate clouds in the sky, Danny had to smile, the clouds were for him and only him. He walked over to the bed and touched one of the pillows which was embroidered with a plane on it, an old crop duster, he smiles, thinking that this almost didn't happen and the scars if he has them will be a reminder to it almost not happening.
He sat down on the bed moved some of the throw pillows to the other side of the bed and laid down, swinging his feet from the floor over to the end of the bed, he gently shut his eyes falling asleep almost instantly.
"Danny?" Danny felt his name being called and his shoulder being moved, "Danny?"
"What?" he said opening his eyes slightly, and with blurred vision sees the outline of Evelyn.
"Lunch is ready," she says setting a lunch tray on the bedside table and sitting next to him.
Danny sits up rubbing his eyes with his hands,
"How long was I out?"
"Well about an hour so I heated your lunch again."
"Thank you. Where's Rafe?"
"He went down to the drug store to get your prescription re filled," she said taking the bowl of stew and a spoon and stirred the stew, which a few seconds later Danny takes from her and eats a spoonful of.
"Thanks" he says smiling at her,
"Your welcome" She looks at him like she still can't believe he's here,
"You can stop staring Evelyn, it's really me." She shakes her head,
"I know it's just that we didn't think that many of you would make it... and I heard the radio transmissions on the radio.... And I thought you weren't going to make it."
"But I did" She looks at him, He has a spoon of stew paused in mid air to his mouth and a little bit of hair hanging in his face, he looks so young but his eyes have seen things, felt them also. A tear slips down her cheek.
"OH wait please don't cry." He says swinging his legs over the side of the bed and setting his stew on the bedside table, he puts an arm around Evelyn,
"I didn't mean to make you cry."
"You didn't, its just that I thought we were going to loose you and I had already lost Rafe.." she snuggled into his chest and he put his other arm around her in a hug,
"Its ok ya know?"
"I know it."
"Your going to be a mom and that's beautiful,"
"Your going to be a dad and that's beautiful" the words hit Danny like a slap in the face, he had known that but hearing it from Evelyn sort of made if final,
"Yeah I guess I am"
She looks up at him staring at a picture on the wall his eyes out of focus, a slight smile on his face,
"Hey Evelyn I need to go out for a while I'm going to be back in time for dinner be dressed to go out when I get back" he gently un wrapped his arms and stood up walking out the door to the living room grabbing his crutches and was out the door before Evelyn could even come out of the bedroom.
"Wonder where he was off too?" she mutters to herself, then smiles and takes a book and starts to read.
