Kyle and Lily entered the ER of St. Mike's and were amazed that it was actually possible for it to be worse than it was when that office building had caught on fire.
As soon as they came through the front door their fellow doctor, Mike hurried up to them looking tired and worn out saying "Thank god you're here", but when he saw Kyle he looked shocked
"Kyle what the hell are you doing here?" he asked, then smiled and let out a small laugh when he realized that they where both covered in something creamy and pink, "And what happened to you two?"
"It's a long story, but I got paged" Kyle said to Mike like he should know that.
"What? I specifically told Lloyd not to page you!" he said getting mad then turned to Lily "And you let him come?"
"Hello I'm still here and have you taken a look around we don't exactly have time to be standing around talking" Kyle said.
"Kyle you got shot a few days..."
Lily cut him off "Mike have you forgotten that I'm your boss, and undoubtedly Kyle wouldn't have let me come without him even if he didn't get paged so lets stop this discussion right now and get to work. Now tell us what happened."
"You're not going to believe this but there was another fire" Mike said.
"What is there some pyromaniac going around everywhere setting fires?" Kyle said as the three of the rushed to help the numerous people in the hospital.
"I didn't think it was possible, but that fire was actually worse than the last" Lily said as she and Kyle walked into her apartment.
It was almost two in the morning when things had finally calmed down at St. Mike's, and as soon as Mike and the other staff had things under control he had made sure that he personally had sent Kyle home.
"I think that for once I have to agree with you on that" Kyle said.
Lily was running her hand through her matted hair trying to get out the pink cake and icing when she said, "I feel so nasty; I'm going to go get a shower"
"Alright, I think that I'm just going to go lay down" Kyle said as he headed to the guest room and Lily to the bathroom.
Lily walked out of the bathroom now cake free and dressed in her pajamas, her wet hair dangling in front her face. She decided to go check on Kyle before she went to bed, she didn't that he had looked too great on the way home from the hospital, or at Amy's party.
When Lily entered his room she saw that Kyle was tossing and turning in his sleep. 'He must be having a nightmare' she thought, and turned on the light and walked over to the side of the bed kneeling down next to him.
"Kyle, hey Kyle" Lily said as she shock his shoulder in an attempt to wake him.
But when Kyle didn't respond and Lily noticed the beads of sweat running down his face she got worried and placed the back of her hand on Kyle's forehead. But as soon as she did Kyle sat straight up panting, and he moaned closing his eyes tightly as the sudden movement caused his wound to throb in pain.
"Kyle?" Lily questioned as she got up and sat down on the bed next to him.
Kyle didn't say anything back, or open his eyes; he just ran a shaking hand through his tangled hair. After a few moments he inhaled deeply and slowly opened his eyes to Lily's worried face.
"Lily?" Kyle said.
"Hey, you ok?" she asked.
"Yeah" he took a deep breath, "just a bad dream"
"Probably caused by your fever" Lily said, "You've been pushing your self too hard Kyle; your body can't take it"
Kyle just sighed he knew she was right even though he didn't want to admit it right now, and he didn't doubt that he had a fever, he didn't feel that great. It was just that, that nightmare had felt so real; he could almost feel both his and Lily's blood covering his hands...
Just thinking about it made him shiver.
"Why don't you lie down, and I'll go and get you something to take your fever down" Lily said noticing that Kyle looked pale.
Kyle watched her leave but he didn't lie down, he just stared after her, as the image of Lily and him lying on the ground covered in blood, flashed through his mind.
"Kyle?" Lily said as she waved a hand in front of his face and Kyle snapped out of it.
"You sure you're ok?" she asked as she handed him two aspirin and a glass of water.
"Yeah" Kyle said after he'd swallowed the aspirin and set the glass on the nightstand.
"Now you should get some sleep" Lily said concerned, as she placed a hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down.
Kyle, too tired to fight her laid back down, and watched Lily as she walked over and turned off the lights.
Lily then walked back over to Kyle to say goodnight but found that he was already asleep. She watched Kyle as he slept calmly for a few moments then started to get restless.
Lily couldn't stand to see Kyle being tormented by his own dreams. She sat back down on the bed and when she put her hand on his shoulder he calmed down. So she crawled under the covers next to him, and rapped her arms abound him, reluctant to ever leave him.
