So sorry I haven't updated this story for so long but I've been really busy. Hope you like it, RR!


"You've been visiting my dreams, you know," Fiona whispered.

Van smiled, he felt so bad for her. "If it means anything, I never stopped thinking of you."

The doctor came into the room and said, "You're going to need to leave, please."

"Alright," Van sighed loudly, letting the doctor know he wasn't happy about leaving. "I'll be back.

"Okay."

"Miss Fiona. . ." was all Van heard the doctor say before he left the room.

Why do they keep kicking me out? Why can't I stay?

In Fiona's room

". . . I know you've been through a lot lately." The doctor continued.

Fiona nodded. She'd been through more than just a lot, she'd been through hell.

"Are you feeling any better?" He asked.

"A lot better than before." She said, nodding. She put her hand to her stomach. "I don't feel sick to my stomach anymore."

"Great, you'll be sent home in a few days," He wrote down a few small notes on his doctor pad, "You'll just have to make sure get a lot of rest." He hooked her up to another IV and checked her blood pressure while he talked.

"Do you happen to know what was wrong with me?"

He shook his head, "No, we still haven't figured that out." He looked at his charts. "We were just hoping for full recovery."

"Don't you usually try to figure that kind of thing out so you know what medication to give the patient?"

"Well, yes. This is just one of those cases where we have to give you certain medications for certain symptoms, even if we don't know what you have." He shrugged, "You were lucky to get over it as quickly as you did, with us not having a clue what it was."

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Well, I have another patient to tend to. I'll send Van in for you."

"Okay."

"Oh, and if you need me just ask for Dr. Black." He called over his shoulder, as he walked out of the room.

Van

What was taking so long? It doesn't take this long to check up on someone. They're probably in there talking and who knows what...

Just then a doctor walked into the waiting room.

"Van you can go back in there now." He said.

"Thanks."

Fiona's Room

"Anything new?" Van asked. He could see Fiona had started to dose off to sleep.

"Great, I should get out of the hospital in a couple of days." Fiona said, looking up half open eyes.

"That's awesome!" He punched his fist into the air, "Maybe we can do something afterwards, like go out to dinner and pig out or we can go to the beach so you can relax."

"That sounds like a good idea." Fiona was exhausted, she had been through tons and she was now beginning to fall asleep, but Van didn't want her to. So, he kept the conversation going.

The phone rang before he could start his sentence.

Van answered it; "Hello?"

"Hi!" The voice on the other end rang through the phone.

"Can I ask whose calling?" He asked in a business like manner.

"Who do you think?"

"Uhh…Irvine?" He guessed sarcastically.

Moonbay growled.

"I'm just playing." He started up again, "Oh wait, maybe I'm wrong. It could be Thomas, or maybe it's Zeke or-"

Moonbay cut Van off before he could finish his list of men, and Zoids, "Alright twerp, I didn't call to hear you. Is Fiona there?"

"Yeah, yeah." Van passed Fiona the phone. About 15 minutes later she was off the phone. Moonbay's call had definitely cheered Fiona up quite a bit. Fiona tried to get their conversation back on topic.

"I want to tell you, Van, that you've been a great friend, staying with me night and day like you did. It means a lot to me."

Van was too modest for that kind of talk. "Aw…it was nothing."

In the last few days Van had become aware of how much he really loved her even though she was unconscious.

4 days later

"I can't believe I'm being released today! Finally!" Fiona bounced in her seat excitedly.

Van signed the check out paper and handed it to the woman behind the desk. "Thanks. Neither can I. "

"I feel like I haven't been outside for weeks." She gazed out the window longingly.

"Well, that's because you haven't." Fiona hopped in to the back of the Liger.

Van hopped in after her. He started it up and prepared for the long way home.

It had taken them an hour and a half to get back. Fiona was asleep in the back when they reached base.

Lunch

"Welcome back, Fiona." Irvine said.

Moonbay went up to Fiona and gave her hug. Thomas knelt down on one knee, took her hand in his, and kissed it. He stood up blushing furiously, and quickly exited. Fiona hated when he did that but she always kept quiet.

Van had, had enough for the past 2 weeks and he was tired. He walked to his room slowly. He turned the corner, slammed in to something and everything went black.


Ok well that's all I have for now. Again I am very sorry it took me so long to update. RR!
