Chapter 4 – signs of life

"Simon, did you see that?" Joe asked his partner in the back of the ambulance that carried the body of a raven haired ghost/boy hybrid.

"See what Joe?" Simon asked from the other side of the ambulance where he was currently filling in some paperwork with his back slightly to the bed that was fixed to the left side.

"I'm sure I just saw him take a breath"

"Yea?" Simon turned and trained his full attention to the third person in the back of the ambulance with them. After a few seconds Simon saw it too, a fait rise and fall of his chest but he thought it better to check than to raise anyone's hopes so he crossed to Danny's side and placed three fingers along his neck, looking for any signs of life.

"Chris, speed it up, this kids alive, barely." Simon yelled to the driver who immediately turned on the lights and sirens and radioed in to tell the hospital that they were going to need an emergency team waiting when they got there. His partners were working franticly in the back to keep Danny alive until they got to the hospital where the doctors could take over. They got to the hospital five minutes later where they were met by doctors waiting to take him into A & E.

"His pulse is 40 over 90 and his BP is barely registering. He's had 50cc's of fluids.

"He's losing too much blood, that wound needs to be closed and then we need to get some blood back into him" the doctors were rushing around, talking back and forth with the paramedics and each other as they wheeled him in and cut away his shirt to revel the wound in his stomach and set to work on closing it up. When they had finished a doctor called for an IV of warm blood and some blankets to try and bring his temperature back up again as his body temperature had fallen to 34 degrees Celsius and hypothermia was setting in. When the blood was in they feed another into IV his other arm to get some fluids into him in an attempt to get his vital signs to register on the BP monitor the had put him onto. After his second IV of blood his temperature began to rise again, along with his blood pressure and heart rate.

"I'll call the family" a female doctor offered when he stabilised enough to be moved out of A & E.

Twenty minutes after the phone call was made all three Fentons, Sam and Tucker (who they had picked up on the way) were in reception hounding the poor girl there trying to find out where Danny was, she was saved from the verbal onslaught by Dr. Matthews, who had been one of the doctors who was helping Danny. He informed them that Danny had stabilized and had been moved from the A & E into intensive care and was resting. He explained to them that the only thing that had saved Danny had been how cold he had been when he was found and if they wanted the could go and visit. They of course all said yes but were told only a maximum of three at a time so it was agreed that his family go first and then Sam and Tucker.

"He's in here. Please don't be alarmed by the machines and equipment, I know they look scary but they are for his own good. He may not be very responsive"

"I don't care" Maddie stated "I just want to see my son"

"Of coarse, I'll leave you alone" with those words he turned and left the small group.

With much trepidation Maddie entered the small room first and immediately gasped in shock. Her precious boy was barley distinguishable from the sheets he was lying amongst he was so pale. There were machines beeping here there and everywhere all attached to somewhere on Danny's body and there were bandages on his arms, some on his face and wound through his hair to keep them in place. He looked so small and helpless and it was all she could do to keep herself form running strait over throwing he arms around his neck and weeping onto his bare chest but she restrained her self and merely walked over and held his cold hand in her own warm one. Jaz stood next to her and put her arm around her waist while Jack crossed to the other side of the bed and took hold of Danny's other hand

"Danny?" Maddie broached as she began to run her hand through his hair "Danny, it's mum, can you hear me" her voice was shaking and she was holding back tears.

Jack was struggling to keep his face composed and failing, tears were running down his face and he knew his voice would fail him if he tried to speak so he squeezed his son's hand and prayed for him to open his eyes.

Someone must have been listening. Danny took a deep breath, moaned and his eyes slid open.

"Where am I?" he asked groggily as he came more fully awake

"Danny?!!" Maddie nearly screamed as she gave up al pretence of composure and flung her arms around her son. The shout brought Sam and Tucker running, fearing the worst but being met with four pairs of open eyes.

"Danny?!" Sam was the first one to find her voice and she rushed over to his side. Jack stepped back to let her in and she threw her arms around his neck. When she released him she saw him smiling at her and Tucker who had made his way over by now.

"I told you I'd be fine, didn't I?" his ability to look on the bright side of things never failed to amaze her. Tears she had been holding back over flowed and spilled form her eyes and she lent back over, in front of his family and friends, and kissed him on the lips as though their lives depended on it. Need for oxygen broke the contact and again he was smiling when she opened her eyes.

"What was that for" Danny asked around the huge grin on his face, not that he minded on bit what it was for

"For making me see the truth." And as an after thought she punched him on the arm, being careful to avoid the bandages.

"Aww, what was that for" he asked as he rubbed the new wound

"For the way you did it" she replied. A not so subtle cough reminded them that they were not alone in the room and they both felt their cheeks warm.

"Tell you what" Jaz suggested "why don't we leave you two lovebirds alone and when you're done, call us" then she shooed the rest of her family and Tucker out of the room.

"We're…" they started to shout their usual denial but realised it was now redundant "…lovebirds" they smiled and had their second not so fake-out-make-out.

There, that's much better now isn't it? Nice and happy and full of fluff, just how we like it.
