"Yeah, a new day" Woody said to himself, somewhat hopefully.

Woody couldn't seem to get to sleep that night, every time he closed his eyes he would have some dream that featured who else but Jordan, he couldn't seem to get her out of his head no matter how hard he tried. He turned his head to the side and discovered the reason why she was overtaking his thoughts.

She hadn't counted on him waking up as she gazed at him through the door way of his hospital room. She didn't set foot inside because she wanted to be able to make a quick exit if he stirred, he caught her off guard when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked right at her. She started to leave, hoping he would just think it was a dream and go back to sleep.

"No, don't go" he said softly.

"I didn't want to wake you" she tried to explain.

"It's okay, I couldn't sleep" he smiled gently.

She nodded. "Bad dreams?"

"No, not bad, but I was dreaming, you know when you have those dreams that feel so real that you wake up and aren't sure for a minute if you were dreaming or if it really happened"

"Yeah, I know all about those" she said.

"Do you? Did you ever have any dreams like that about me?" he teased with a grin.

"Wouldn't you like to know" she teased back, with a smile.

"Yes I would" He nodded, suddenly lost in his own thoughts.

Her cheeks got red and she looked away, focusing on anything but him.

"You can come in you know" he said, changing the subject, sensing her embarrassment.

She looked back at the door, realizing she'd only taken about a step inside the room. "Oh yeah" she said and walked further into the room, not really sure what she should be doing, things were tense between them earlier to say the least but now he was being more than civil, almost flirty.

"Come sit with me" he said

She moved to sit in the chair next to his bed.

"So what were these realistic dreams about?" she asked.

"You mostly" he answered truthfully.

"Really?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"And what about me specifically?" she probed.

"We were together, holding hands, kissing, laying around on the couch in each others arms just doing nothing but being together" he smiled at the thought. She smiled too.

"So is it too late for that to happen?" she asked hoping to God he wouldn't say yes.

"Do you think it is?" he asked, turning the question back on her.

"I hope not" she answered, looking into his eyes and taking his hand in hers.

"Jordan" he whispered almost inaudibly

She leaned over and kissed his lips softly, as softly as they had kissed that time in the desert. He stroked her cheek with his hand and she was the one who made the move to deepen the kiss, she opened her mouth and he responded accordingly, opening his mouth too, their tongues meeting for the first time in an amazing kiss. They pulled away slowly.

"Jordan, I'm sorry for acting like I did earlier, I was just scared" he admitted.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter" she said knowing she had said and done plenty to him that he had always forgiven her for.

"I want to be with you, I've always wanted to be with you, do you think you're ready to do this now?" he asked.

"Yeah, I know I can't run from us anymore, I'm ready to give it a try" she said, wiping back tears from her eyes.

He smiled, feeling emotional himself. "Come here"

She climbed up on the edge of the bed and hugged him close, burying her face in his neck, drinking in his scent. He shivered, she pulled back to look at him. "That tickles" he explained. She smiled and kissed his neck and cheek before returning her attention to his lips, kissing him deeply. She laid her head on his chest.

"Its after midnight, it's a whole new day" he said out loud and smiled to himself.

"It sure is" Jordan smiled, looking up at him.
