A/N: So this is it, the last chapter. And after almost 2 years and 27 chapters I'd say it's about time wouldn't you? I just want to say thank you to everyone who read and to everyone who reviewed you all mean a whole lot to me, thanks.
Now I know I haven't been the best when it comes to making long chaps so I thought that since this is that last one I'd make it extra long :p
And so… Chapter 27
Beep…Beep
Beep…Beep
There was that familiar fuzzy haze surrounding Kyle again, and an all-too-familiar sense of disorientation that seemed to always come along when he was woken up by the beeping of a heart monitor.
"You know what? I've come to the conclusion that you sleep way too much"
Kyle moaned and cracked open an eye and was horrified to see the white tiles above him that he knew could only belong in one place, St. Mikes. He looked to his right and found Lily lying in the next hospital bed staring at him with a smile.
"And do you know what? I'd have to agree with you on that with the addition of one thing, I've woken to these same damn ceiling tiles way too often." Kyle tried to gesture to said tiles but was unable to because of a. the IVs in his arms and b. the splint on his left wrist, "wow is this it? We crash into a tree and all I get is a sprained wrist?" he said staring amazedly at the splint.
"That, a few minor scrapes and bruises and a bump on the head is it for you" Lily said flipping through a file.
"How about you?"
"Me? Oh I just have I nice little concussion and a dislocated shoulder but that's about it"
Kyle cringed knowing that he had gotten off pretty good in comparison when he saw the sling on her right arm, "How about our trigger happy friend, what happened to him?"
"Well, Mr. trigger happy wasn't wearing a seat belt and his car didn't have air bags so he's currently up on the third floor"
"The third floor… you mean he's in a coma?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah, in with all the other criminals surrounded heavily by well armed guards with the police ready to him questions him if he ever wakes up"
"Wow so that's it huh? We don't have to ever worry about him again"
"Seems like it" Lily said closing the folder.
There was a moment of silence between them as both doctors reflected on what had happened in just the past few hours.
"Hey, whose is that?" Kyle asked gesturing to the folder she still held in her hand when the silence was starting to get to him.
"Yours"
"Mine?"
"That's what I said"
"Well then who's my doctor now that it can't be you?" Kyle asked amused.
"The same one as me and trust me when I tell you that you're not going to like it" She told him as she half handed half tossed the folder to him.
"Oh my god please tell this is wrong" Kyle looked terrified "There is no way in hell that I'm letting Lloyd be my doctor, have you seen anyone and I mean anyone that we could trade with?"
"I only woke up about 15 minutes before you did, which was only enough time to snag our charts and bug the nurses about what happened with Mr. trigger happy"
"We are now officially in hell" Kyle said desperately at the same time that Lloyd just happened to walk in, "please just let the nightmare end"
"Aww come on man this isn't that bad I get to be my coworkers' doctor how awesome is that?"
"Not that awesome when one of them happens to be your boss" Lily said as both she and Kyle glared at Lloyd.
"Ok…" Lloyd said slowly backing away towards the door when Mike walked in.
"Oh thank god, Mike switch Lloyd patients" Lily said but when neither of them went to do anything she added a forceful "Now!" and they did as told and Lloyd retreated out of the room.
"Dang, you both are really lucky" Mike said looking over their charts.
"If by lucky you mean us both ending up back here as patients, then sure we're lucky" Kyle said, his usual sarcasm in place.
"Right, why don't I just send in your family then" Mike did not want to be the next victim of Kyle's and Lily's wrath.
"What? Why'd you call them?" Kyle asked; he really didn't what to deal with them right now.
"Kyle, we didn't call anybody they saw the news" and with that Mike left as quickly as possible.
Lily sighed, "I just want to get out of here as soon as possible"
"Now you know how I felt. Do you know how long we're stuck here?"
"It says on the chart overnight observation"
Kyle groaned he could here his aunt's voice from down the hall and knew that it was going to be a long night.
"Oh my god Kyle what happened?" Maxine exclaimed bursting into the room.
'Here we go' Kyle thought closing his eyes.
"Dr. Reddicker?" that would be Amy "You were also in the accident?"
"Of course she was honey" Maxine answered before Lily could even open her mouth, "it said so on the news"
"It did?"
"Yes dear it did, now Kyle would you please tell me what happened"
One long explanation latter Lily and Kyle were left alone in the dark hospital room.
"So where do we go from here?" Lily asked staring straight up at the ceiling.
"Well home's usually a good option"
"Yes, but what do you mean by home, back to your apartment with Dona?"
Oh so this was that conversation.
"Lily" Kyle started out slowly, "I know you have issues getting involved in a relationsh-"
"No, Kyle it's not that" Lily cut him off hurriedly standing up and walking over too him. She sat on his bed and looked him directly in the eyes, "I love you Kyle, but I've had bad experiences with men in the past and-"
Kyle placed his fingers over her mouth; "Lily, I love you" he leaned up and kissed her deeply for an instant then pulled apart, "Now please, don't make me go back to living with Dona"
Lily couldn't resist his pleading smile; she bent down and kissed him again, "You know I could never do that to you" she smiled back at him, "now scoot over"
Kyle did as told and Lily lay down and snuggled next to him.
He wrapped his arms around her as he mumbled one last "I love you"
"I love you too" she mumbled into his chest and they both feel asleep for once with no other thoughts in their heads except each other.
