A/N: Okay this chapter because of what happens will be a turning point for the two loves bound people, but at the same time it will not be the end of the story. Secondly, have you ever written so much that eventually you are just worn right out? LOL that is where I am now, and although I know what I want to do with the story and I want to write it, the will to do it isn't there as much as it used to be, but again I trudge on through it. Thank you for the reviews on the last three chapters and well see you with the next update!
They had been waiting for what seemed like hours. Stalking the floor, making their shoe prints a part of the hospital history. Shawn, who had knelt in prayer for what seemed like the fortieth time that night knelt again, and Jackie, who had become so accustomed to the way she had been moving for hours, had thrown her cane to the sidelines.
When would they get word on just how well or how bad Randy really was?
As if hearing their silent questions, the door to his room finally opened and the older doctor emerged. Hearing his footsteps walking towards where Shawn had taken up residence, Jackie grabbed her cane again and made her way over to where the two men stood.
"How is he doing Doc? Did the blood transfusion take affect the way you hoped it would?" She heard Shawn ask as she finally made her way over. As she looked up she was almost knocked off her feet at what she found.
Shawn, standing there, his height just a little taller then her own, wearing the most tattered blue jeans she had ever seen, and a plaid shirt she was sure they only made ten years ago in Texas. What the hell was happening to her and why was she now seeing everything as if she hadn't been blind for the past few weeks?
Should she speak up and say something to the two men in front of her now? Or should she wait and hear what was happening to the man she loved before dropping such a bombshell. It was indeed a bombshell as the Doctor and his old lab coat came into perfect view. Should she really be seeing all the blood and sweat that the older doctor had shed in the last few days?
"The transfusion worked, but that was the least of our worries. He has enough now to not have failure ever again, but at the moment his head is more then a normal cause for concern. He doesn't seem to know who he is, or what the hell has happened to him. I don't know what happened out on that road, but from the x-rays I had done, it seems as if he has been kicked in the head one too many times."
Shawn listened to the doctor, trying in his own mind, which was very much working at that moment to figure out just what had happened out on that road. He knew from traveling with Randy that he wasn't a bad driver and had never even had an accident, so why the trauma tonight?
"Someone called him out of bed earlier in the night about his father, could there be any way this could have been a plan all along?" Jackie asked quietly, causing both men to immediately swivel to where she stood and look at her with questioning eyes.
"What happened exactly Jackie? What do you know about this?" Shawn asked, knowing she had been at the hospital because of Randy but not knowing all of the details why.
Jackie looked at her friend, unable to decide whether to tell him about the angel or not, wondering if he had indeed known about them all along or if now it was all in her head. Was it possible she had wanted to see so bad she had made up the vision of the angel?
"The phone rang a little after 11 and I assume Randy picked it up because he didn't want me to hear it. I was still awake and since it had stopped ringing I didn't give it another thought. I went downstairs a few hours later and Randy was gone. Something made me think something was wrong so I came here and they told me at the front emergency desk that Randy had been there, but it had all been some sort of prank and he had left two hours before. I guess by then he had been in the accident because then Shawn you called me and told me they were bringing him here."
Shawn made a move towards Jackie sensing immediately that she was leaving something out that she couldn't tell the good Doctor. He looked back towards the doctor and with a wave of his hand set his idea into motion. The only way to get her to talk to him was to make sure the Doctor wasn't around to hear what might come out of her mouth.
"You wanna tell me what you couldn't tell us back there?" he questioned. He hadn't meant for it to come out sounding like the Spanish inquisition but it had, and now he had no other choice but go along with it.
"Matt came to me Shawn, he came and told me that someone had called randy and that it was all a plan and that I had to get to where he was as soon as possible to stop something terrible from happening. Now I know you might think that is more then a little nuts but it isn't. It really happened. I just don't think being put on the tenth floor is going to be too good for me right about now, so I didn't tell the doctor."
Shawn smiled gently and pushed her closer to his chest and into a hug. With all of the talk that Paul had done about Angels and them coming when they needed to make someone see the light on a feeling or an emotion, Shawn knew that this was possible and that two of his friends saying the same thing couldn't be wrong.
"Do you know who would want to do this to Randy?"
She thought about it for a minute remembering Charlie causing more then a little scene on her first day home. He hadn't done anything since but you never knew what was going on with Charlie anymore. "Charlie didn't like that Randy was living with me while I couldn't see; maybe he had something to do with it."
"Would he know how to go about doing all of this, staging all of this and almost killing someone though?"
"I don't know, he didn't seem sick before, why would he be now? He hasn't called or come around since we kicked him out."
"Well then what do you say I go and check out where our famous Charlie is right now and see what he knows?"
"That's fine, but what do I do in the meantime?"
"Stay with Randy, and for God sakes Jackie, give him something to remember you by."
As Shawn hugged her again and walked down the hall to the emergency doors, he waved goodbye and she turned towards the room. Looking through the window she knew exactly what she had to do. She had to tell Randy that she got her sight back, and then make him fight to remember what they had shared.
