Chapter Forty Four:
Sam sat quietly as Mikey screamed at just about every other driver out that day, for some reason he was wound tighter then a cork in a wine bottle. She quietly laughed as he called yet another guy a 'jag-off', apparently he was learning new words from his brother.
"You've hardly said a word since we left you're house..WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, I'M DRIVING HERE!!!" Mikey said quickly glancing at her, then back at the road.
"I don't have anything to say." she said trying not to laugh.
The rest of the ride was filled with cursing and the flipping of the bird, but somehow they managed to get there in one piece. Sam let go of the dash board and there were little half moons in the leather, she had been gripping it harder then she thought.
They quietly walked into the hospital, the time either of them said anything, was when Mikey asked what room Moe was in. Sam was shocked at how many rooms they had when the nurse said it was room '500', she didn't think the place even had 10 rooms, much less over 500. Sam stopped herself when they got to the door, Mikey stopped and looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I figured you'd wanna go in there, ya'know, family time?" she said feeling out of place.
"Sam I brought you here for a reason, you're the only one that can talk Moe out of bitching at the nurses."
Without another word they both went into his room, Sam was shocked at how pale he was, but other then that he seemed relatively normal. She examined his cast and saw that most of the nurses had written down their home phone numbers, this didn't shock Sam. Mikey sat down next to Rose and they started whispering to each other, Sam was left standing by Moe's bed side.
"Here you go." Moe said slightly sitting up handing her a magic marker. "Sign it and stop staring at it." he added with a smile.
Sam sat down on the corner of his bed, her back facing him so he wouldn't peak. All she did was leave a big red heart, but she stayed there a while so he wouldn't catch on.
"Alright, there you go." she said handing him back the marker.
"A heart? That's all I get for getting shot? A dinky heart?" he asked examining it.
"I'm sorry, you already have...4 numbers on there, and it's not like you don't already know mine."
"Alright fine, I stand defeated."
"More like lay."
"Oh, little girls shouldn't say such naughty words."
"I meant lay DOWN you idiot, but come to think of it, I've said much worse things."
"Like what?"
"Now if I told you, that would cause you not to guess, and I like it when you guess."
The banter soon died out and they were left in a silent room, the only noise was the whispering of Mikey and Rose. But even that soon died out.
"Alright, you ready to get out of here?" Mikey asked standing up.
"I was ready as soon as I got here." Moe said trying to get out of bed.
"Stop it right there, you're going to wait for a nurse even if I have to tie you down." Rose said pushing him back down.
"Can't Sam help you with that?"
"Oh no, I'm NOT tying you down, well not here anyway." Sam said adding a smile.
"Oh, but you promised."
"I did no such thing, now shut up."
"I'll go get a nurse." Rose said quickly leaving the room.
"Stop it you two, you're going to give ma a heart attack if you keep that up." Mikey said being the voice of reason.
"That's true, but if it was you and I that were talking like this, you wouldn't have a problem with it." Sam said, which caused Mikey to hold his sweat shirt in front of him.
"Oh, now I know what you two do when all the lights are out." Moe said sitting up a little more.
"You only wish, then you'd have something to listen to." Sam playfully shot back.
"Sorry love, I've got plenty to listen to."
Rose came back in with a nurse right behind her, no one said anything while the nurse was moving Moe from the bed to the chair, and they all quietly made their way out to the car. They all stood in the elevator and waited for the floors to tick down.
"Michael, darling. I'm cold, can I borrow you're sweat shirt?" Rose asked.
"Uh, sure." he said handing it to her, he quickly stood behind the nurse that was pushing Moe's chair. "I can take that." he said allowing her to step aside.
"Uh Mikey? You need a saw?" Moe asked turning around.
"A saw? For what?"
"To cut that wood, that's a condition or something."
"Mikey what is he..."Sam asked turning to face him. "never mind." she said facing the other way, she was trying desperately not to laugh.
The elevator dinged and they stepped off, as soon as they started walking they had to stop.
"Bosco? That you?" they heard.
Moe turned to face the voice and saw Ty, he was sitting on a gurney in the middle of the hallway with his ankle casted.
"What happened?" Moe asked having Mikey turn the chair.
"I slipped and broke my damn ankle, stupid thing. What happened to you?" he asked noticing the cast as well.
"I got shot, friggin thing caused a hair line fractor, gotta wear this for 6 weeks."
"Man, that sucks."
Sam noticed there was a woman standing next to him. She was kinda short, dark brown hair and she had a kind face, but she was confused as to who she was.
"I don't mean to interrupted, but who is this?" she asked pointing to the woman.
"That's my girlfriend, Brittany." Ty said smiling, but his smile soon changed to confusion. "Have we met?" he asked.
"No, I'm Sam." she said shaking his hand.
"You wanna head over to my place?" Moe asked.
"Yeah, sure." Ty answered.
"Moe, that ain't gonna work. What about mom's car?" Mikey asked.
"I can drive it, as long as you don't mind." Brittany spoke up.
"Yeah, alright." Rose said handing over the keys.
"Had to come here by a damn ambulance." Ty said shaking his head. "Never thought I'd ever have to ride in those things."
They all walked out to the cars, Mikey drove his with Sam, Moe and Ty. And Brittany drove with Rose.

A/N: I couldn't have done this chapter without the extreme help of M
and Brittany. M gave me the plot line and Brittany helped me fill in
the gaps. I also had to give an honorable mention to my 500 gang, y'all
are worth it.
