Scott sat on the bench in the waiting room his eyes misty with tears. Kelly couldn't leave him now he had just found her. Once she was back in his arms and safe he would never let her go again.
'Kelly is my soul mate' Scott thought he kept replaying that thought in his mind throughout the night.
"Here take this you look like you need it." Jeff said and handed Scott some coffee.
"Thanks." Scott said and rubbed his neck.
"Any news?" Jeff then asked.
"Nothing." Scott said and breathed in the deep aroma of the coffee.
"She will be fine. The first time I saw her I knew she was a fighter." Jeff said and grinned.
"Just like a Tracy." Scott said and looked at his father.
"Scott whatever you choose I'm behind you 100" Jeff said and smiled at his son.
"I won't let her go again. I'm going to keep her close from now on." Scott said and sank back into the chair.
"Scott when the time comes that you make the next step in life come talk to me." Jeff said and then sat next to his son through the night.
The morning came and so did the news of Kelly. Dr. Thornton approached Scott his head hung.
'Oh no!' Scott's heart screamed inside of him.
"Scott, Mr. Tracy." Dr. Thornton started he rubbed his neck and then looked at the both of them.
"We went in but half way through the surgery we started to lose her." The doctor stopped.
"What happened tell me." Scott pushed.
"We placed her original heart back in and shocked her." The doctor paused and then continued, "She will be placed in ICU for a couple weeks till she is strong enough to go through with the surgery again." Dr. Thornton then looked at Scott.
"Scott she is sleeping now, but if something happens tonight to her heart we will lose her." Dr. Thornton said and rubbed his face.
"Can I see her?" Scott asked.
"You will need to stand behind a window. You will be able to talk to her but we can't let anything that might be sick or become sick to pass germs to her. She is very week right now." The Doctor advised Scott.
"Just let me see her." Scott said and then looked at Jeff. Jeff nodded his head and went to make the phone call to the island.
Dr. Thornton took Scott to the ICU and walked him into a room that was separated from Kelly's. The doctor looked at him and then said, "Scott I'm sorry."
Scott grabbed the doctors arm and made eye contact with him that he had never made before. It was one of deep sorrow and no regret. Scott then looked through the window and watched Kelly breath.
"Kelly honey please be strong don't let go." Scott said the tears rolling down his face.
His only response was the beeping of the monitors telling him she was still alive. Scott talked to Kelly for hours and then he seemed to drift away in sleep. In his dreams he saw Kelly she stood there on the cliff looking at him. The tears in her eyes the fright but the warmth and caring. Scott saw her beauty Kelly was strong she almost killed herself to keep a family safe and in the end and failed and she felt deeply troubled by that. She felt the same way Scott did when he failed. Guilty, hurt, angry that's what Scott felt right now. He had failed her and now she was fading away because of him. He was snapped out of his thoughts when a voice called.
Instead of Kelly saying "Save my family." Kelly looked Scott deep in the eyes and said, "Scott it hurts."
"Kelly hold on." Scott answered.
"Scott I love you so much but I'm not strong enough. What if it doesn't work?" She questioned her eyes filled with tears.
"It will work and your much stronger then I could ever be." Scott said his heart beating faster.
"Scott I don't want to leave." She cried.
"You won't I won't let you." Scott cried back.
"I wanted a family and husband now it won't happen." She said in a hurt tone.
"Stop talking like that we will have a family and you'll come home to me and say I'm glad to be your wife Scott." Scott said and smiled through the tears at her.
"Hold me." Kelly cried and reached her hand out to him.
Instead of her falling Scott grabbed her hand and pulled her into him close.
"I'll never let you go." Scott whispered into her ear, "Never."
"Scott. Scott wake up!" A voice called for him. Kelly's face vanished and then the rest of her and his father appeared.
"Scott wake up look." Jeff nudged his son.
Scott woke up startled.
"What?" He said rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Look!" Jeff said in a amazed tone.
Scott turned to look where his father was pointing. Scott almost broke down at what he saw. Kelly's head was facing him and her eyes where open. The tears dampened her face and his face was also wet. He walked up to the window and put his hands up to it.
"Hello sunshine." He said smiling.
"Hey cowboy." She said and looked at him and smiled.
"I saw you in my dreams." Scott said still amazed.
"I did too you told me to be strong and you held me close. What a sweet dream." Kelly said and then coughed. Her eyes shut and Scott was frantic.
"KELLY!" He screamed.
"Gosh have you ever heard of rest." Kelly said in an annoyed tone.
Scott breathed with a heavy sigh of relief.
"Don't do that again Kelly." Scott scolded.
"Did you mean it." Kelly then asked.
"What?" Scott asked.
"That I would come home at night and say 'I'm glad I'm your wife Scott" Kelly said and looked at Scott with a stern look.
"All of it honey once you get better we will be married. And have kids and we will grow old together." Scott said and smiled.
"That's sounds perfect." Kelly said and drifted back to sleep.
