A/N: so I JUST finished the second chapter, I don't know if I'll like stick with the story so I am doing a lot today and stuff and also putting OC posters around my room and listening to random music on the radio!
It had been two days, and he hadn't been able to talk to his wife. He really wanted to know how she was doing.
"Mmmmmmpphhhhh," the first noise he had heard from her came, and Seth and Ryan looked up.
"Kirsten?" Sandy asked gently.
"It hurts," she moaned, barely making out the words.
"Shh…I know don't move."
"Wh…wh…a…wrong?"
"You were in an accident, stay in that position." He hit the call nurse button so that someone in the hospital would know that she needed assistance. She tried to open her eyes but the florescent lights got in the way.
"Sa..sa…ndy?" she groaned, " Sandy?" Her voice was becoming more understandable.
"I know babe, it will all be OK," he assured her, kissing her on the cheek. Doctor Johnson walked in the door.
"Well look who's awake!" he sounded joyful, "How do you feel? How is the morphine working?"
"I'm in excruciating pain and my whole insides are heavy," she was getting used to talking again. Ryan decided to go tell the crew who had returned to the ICU waiting room that day that the patient had awoken.
"Hey guys!" Ryan came out to Marissa, Julie, Caleb, and Summer.
"You sound too joyful," Julie mused.
"She woke up!" he told them with a smile on his face. The whole group looked up at him and then to each other. They all smiled.
"But I mean it doesn't really put her out of trouble," Ryan reminded them as they sat back in their chairs, "They say you guys can visit soon." Ryan walked back towards the room to find Kirsten crying with Seth and Sandy comforting her.
"What's going on?" Ryan whispered to Seth.
"I'm fine Ryan, I mean it's just that it's going to be a long road," Kirsten heard him talking to Seth and turned her head to him. Ryan walked over to the side of her bed and grabbed her hand.
"We'll be fine," he told her, "You'll be fine, happy, and back to normal." He really hoped that he wasn't lying, though chances said he was. The tears reduced to a few sniffles of her nose before she lay back down.
"Can I see the others?" she asked, looking over at Ryan and Seth, "Could you go get them?"
"Sure," Seth said slipping out in the hall, he was soon back with Caleb, Julie, Marissa and Summer.
"Wish I had known the gruesome twosome were here," she muttered under her breath. Sandy heard her and snickered.
"Kiki," Caleb nodded, "You went to wrong way to work I guess." He kissed his daughter on the forehead.
"Hey Kiks!" Julie gave her a small hug and backed up.
"Kirsten!" Summer smiled, Kirsten was like her own personal mother that never bothered her and would always be there for her.
"Hey Mrs. Cohen," Marissa walked over from the door.
"Hey guys!" she tried to sound enthusiastic but it sounded pretty lame.
"Kiki," Caleb used his business voice, "Yesterday the customer for the Beach Resort came by and I was wondering if you could do a conference call tomorrow." The whole group turned around and stared at him.
"Are you crazy?" Sandy asked him, "She can barely move."
"A conference call takes a voice and ears and a brain," Caleb informed him, "Also I am going to make sure that you are back at work in the next week." Kirsten couldn't believe the fire that was raging in her stomach from his comments.
"You can leave now," she told him. Sandy glared at him.
"Kiki, it is for the good of the company," he explained.
"The good of the company comes before the only daughter that you still talk to?" she asked him, Fine, and then you are definitely invited to leave. NOW!" She looked over at her father and closed her eyes; she had never really felt care from him. Caleb didn't budge.
"I'm going to go call my dad," Marissa told the group, walking into the hall. She thought that he could maybe provide Kirsten some sanity.
"Kirsten, I'm just trying to protect the company," he tried to explain.
"I think they would understand if you said that the person they are supposed to be talking to is in the ICU, look on a local news website and see her car, and then tell them that you have representatives that would love to talk to them," she panted, even the shortest speech hurt her.
"Fine Kiki," he looked at her and headed towards the door, "I expect you back…soon…"
"I'm sorry about him," Julie came and sat on the end of Kirsten's bed.
"He never has cared," she looked at Julie, "Well at least since my mom died."
Marissa walked back in the room with her phone in her hand, "I talked to my dad."
"What did he say?" Julie asked, you could tell she wanted to know by the look on her face.
"He wants to come see you and is looking for the next flight," Marissa explained, "He was also going to call Hailey and tell her."
"This all isn't necessary…I mean I'm only in the…" she paused, "ICU."
"Yeah but you did scare everyone," Marissa explained, "I mean the Rover is DEAD." Summer finally giggled from the corner. She had been hiding.
"Well I'm going to go," Julie told Kirsten, "I'll be back tomorrow and don't worry, I'll handle the deals."
"I'm going to go with my mom," Marissa looked at her mom; she wanted to present a unified front around Kirsten. As the two left, Seth, Ryan, and Sandy went to get coffee and Summer walked closer to Kirsten.
"So…" Summer didn't really know what to say, "You gave me a huge scare. I mean you aren't my mom…but in some ways you are." Kirsten grinned she loved Summer.
"I love you like my own, I mean I probably will be your mother-in-law someday," Kirsten joked and smiled at Summer, she forgot about the pain in her body for those couple of minutes.
" Sandy!" Kirsten cried in the middle of the night, "IT HURTS." Sandy popped up from his sleeping position.
"Breathe," he told her.
"It hasn't ever hurt this bad," she moaned.
"Where does it hurt?"
Silence.
"Kirsten?"
Silence.
"KIRSTEN!" he cried, "Seth!"
"What?"
"Get a doctor NOW." Seth ran down the hall, only to find Doctor Johnson.
"Something's wrong with my mom," he cried. Before he had time to react the doctor was halfway down the hall.
A/N: Don't fret…it will be better and I wont kill her because I love her too much!
