Chapter Five
Jess was sitting beside Jamie. She was alone with her, sitting on her right side. She looked at her best friend who was still sound asleep. She reached out to grab her hand but suddenly stopped.
"Greg!"
Greg jumped up and ran into the room. "What's wrong, Jess?"
"Her ring! Where is her ring?" Jess looked at Jamie's right hand. "She's had that diamond ring since she was fifteen-years old. She never took it off! Where the hell is it?"
The nurse ran into the room, the same blond woman from the night before. "What's wrong?"
"Where is Jamie's diamond right?" Jess said harshly.
"What's it look like?" Lillie asked.
"Fourteen carat gold, three stone non-certified diamonds," Jess replied.
Lillie and Greg blinked. "I memorized it when she told me incase anything happened," she said, sitting down.
Suddenly Jamie's hand curled into a fist. "Mmm…Miyavi…" she whispered.
Jess fell over. "You bitch! You're in the hospital, Archie's in a coma and you're moaning about Miyavi!"
Jamie opened her eyes half-way. "But I married Miyavi in my dream and we had two little girls…"
"Ooh," Jess fumed. "If you weren't in a hospital bed, I'd hit you!"
Lille leaned over to Greg. "Is this how they always are?"
Greg nodded. "Yes, they're best friends. Can't you tell?"
"What the hell happened?" Jamie tried to sit up.
"Don't get up, you were in a car crash. Your left leg is broken, and your right wrist is fractured. You have a broken collar bone and twelve stitches in your forehead," Lillie said.
"Hey, twelve is my lucky number," Jamie smiled.
"Are you in any pain?" Lillie walked over to the IV Bag and checked the drip.
"Pain? I've never been in pain this bad in my life! Of course if you add up all the injuries I've had, it'd probably be the same if not more," Jamie cringed as she adjusted herself. "Where's Archie?"
Jess looked away. "He was in so much agony they put him into a medically-induced coma. He's still out."
"I want to see him," Jamie sat up, ignoring the fact that she was in complete agony and that she was dizzy from the concussion. "I don't care what the rules say."
"Jamie-" Lillie began.
"Wait," Jamie looked at her right hand. "Where's my ring?"
"I just asked Lillie that," Jess turned to Lillie.
"I'm going to go through your bag of clothes," Lillie left the room.
"Damn it, if that ring is gone…" Jamie trembled. "My mother gave that to me," she tried not to cry.
"I know," Jess hugged her.
"Here you go," Lillie smiled, walking into the room. "It was on your hand when they brought you in. The doctor took it off to keep it safe."
"It's safer on my hand. It's been there for almost thirteen years," Jamie said, sliding it back on. "Now get me out of this bed and into Archie's room."
"You don't understand," Lillie said.
"I sure as hell do! I'm a registered nurse and became a doctor! Now I'm a medical examiner. Don't tell me what I don't know," Jamie threw back the covers.
"Listen to her, she's a bitch," Jess said.
Lillie sighed and nodded. "Andrew, bring me a wheel chair with a left leg support. And help me move the patient," she called into the hallway.
"Jamie!" Sara looked up as Jess wheeled her friend down the hall.
"Hey, Sara," Jamie smiled.
"Are you well enough to be moving like this?" Nick asked.
"No, I'm just stubborn," Jamie said. "I want to see Archie."
"You're being a fool," Grissom said. "To move around the day after the crash."
"Grissom," Jamie closed her eyes. "Leave me alone. I'm not spending my birthday here. And neither is Archie."
Catherine and Warrick looked at each other.
"She's the only one who will tell him off," Warrick smiled, putting his arm around Tina.
"Alright, let's go find Archie," Jess smiled and wheeled Jamie down to Archie's room.
"He's in that much pain…" Jamie whispered, taking Archie's broken hand in hers.
Jess nodded. "But he's alive."
"But why did this happen? We just went to a movie," Jamie tried not to cry.
"If you have to cry, go ahead," Jess looked down at Jamie.
Jamie opened her arms and Jess took the offer, providing a shoulder for her best friend to cry on.
"Jess, tell me he'll be okay!" She cried.
"Hey, he's our friend. And he's alive. He'll be fine, Jamie," Jess whispered.
"He has you to wake up to, he won't miss that," Greg smiled, entering the room. "When he wakes up, you'll be the first one he will want to see."
Jamie nodded and turned back to hold Archie's hand. "He's going to be out of work for a while…he's broken several fingers and such…"
"You'll be out too; you've got a broken leg. You can't go to work and stand there during an autopsy!" Greg exclaimed.
"Just watch me, Eggo," Jamie smiled. "I'm more amazing than you think."
Jess smiled. "It's good to have you here, Jamie."
Jamie hugged Jess again. "Thank you, Jess. It means a lot to know I'm so loved."
"Of course you are," Sara said, carrying a cup of coffee for Jess. "The lab would be utterly boring again if you weren't there."
"Seriously, James," Nick said. "Who else would be blasting Japanese music at inhuman volumes and dancing while completing an autopsy?"
Jamie laughed. "I sure can't picture Eggo here doing it."
"Ooh, if you weren't a girl, I'd hit you," Greg growled.
"Now, now, children, calm down," Catherine teased. "Let's let Archie rest and get Jamie back to bed. She'll kill herself and then we won't have anyone to blast music in the first place."
"Oh, Catherine, you're so boring," Jamie huffed.
Catherine blinked. "Well, excuse me for caring!"
"Catherine," Jess sighed. "After over a year with us, wouldn't you suspect that Jamie is too dense to really comprehend the difference between a suggestion and a command?"
The group thought this over for a minute before watching Jess get slammed in the face with a spare pillow.
"What the hell was that for, you bitch?" Jess yelled at Jamie.
Jamie crossed her arms. "Pillow therapy my way."
Jamie's birthday arrived. She was still in the hospital due to an infection she had obtained in her right leg where a piece of glass had slashed open her flesh.
As she sat there in bed reading a Japanese comic book, she felt incredibly bored. This wasn't new to her, she felt this before when Jess had gone out with Greg. But she was alone in the room. Nick and Sara were investigating the murder of a fourteen year old that was found on a playground. Warrick was with Greg at court. Catherine and Grissom were working on a case involving a man, and three of his wives. He had never truly divorced any of the three, and ended up dead. Jess had to go back to the lab for DNA evidence, and they had to bring in a substitute Video Technician and Medical Examiner.
Just as she sat her book down and rolled onto her right side, facing the window of the room, the door opened.
"Jamie!" the familiar voice of Jamie's younger sister echoed into the room.
"Lise?" Jamie twisted around and came face to face with Lise, her sister.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She hugged her.
"Well, Jess called us in," Jamie's mother Marie smiled.
"Mommy!" Jamie smiled.
"They're all here, Jamie," Jess walked into the room.
"For your surprise birthday party!" The room echoed.
"Ouch," Jamie closed her ears with her forefingers. "Headache."
"Oh, sorry," Jamie's brother Scott laughed.
"I can't believe you're all here!" Jamie looked around the room.
"Don't forget us!" Jess's brother Alex announced his presence.
"Jess, your family too!"
"And the Lab is here as well," Jess said.
"So let's get this party going," Lee, Jamie's father smiled, carrying in a large pink, purple, and blue icing-covered ice cream cake.
The whole room joined in singing happy birthday to Jamie, and applauded when she blew out all twenty-seven candles in one breath.
"Here's our gift," Nick and Sara said, handing Jamie a small box.
Jamie curiously opened it and laughed. "It's wonderful!"
"What is it?" Scott asked.
"It's a picture frame with a picture of me in the morgue doing an autopsy and singing a song," Jamie smiled, showing the gift to everyone.
"And here's ours," Warrick smiled. "Greg and I didn't go to court, it was just an excuse."
Jamie stuck her tongue out at him and opened the gift. She laughed again. "From Eggo, I got a box of Eggo waffles. And from Warrick and Tina, I got about fifty dollars to spend happily on a website to order all of my favorite Japanese Rockers!" She read the card aloud.
"Here is ours," Catherine handed Jamie another box from her and Grissom.
Jamie opened it and smiled. It was the money back from the room they had rented for the party and a gift certificate to a very expensive restaurant for two. "Thank you, everyone."
"Wait, we have more!" Lise smiled.
"More?" Jamie gaped.
Jess and her family laughed.
"She's still the same, after all these years," Jess's father smiled.
"She's Jamie after all," Jess said.
"Well, give them to me!" Jamie laughed.
Lise and Scott handed her a larger box and within it was a beautiful black silk halter top and matching jewelry to go with it.
"It's beautiful, guys, thank you! I'll wear it the next time I got somewhere where a lovely shirt like this is needed!" Jamie kissed her siblings.
From her parents she received spiral notebooks and pens, as well as a lovely bathroom set complete with a loofa sponge, a pumice stone, and soaps. As well as money and a beautiful diamond necklace.
From Jess's family, she received several stuffed animals and Bill Engvall merchandise, a famous comedian Jess and Jamie had loved for a very long time.
The two families who had flown in happily gave Jamie the presents from her friends; mounds of stuffed animals, get well cards, chocolates, flowers, almost thirty balloons, little stories and videotapes and a great deal of cards.
"I can't believe you did this!" Jamie smiled. "I'm so happy!"
Everyone took their turn in hugging their friend and relative.
"But…if only Archie were here," she turned to her parents. "Oh, Daddy, Mommy, you'd love him! He's only a few years older than me, and he works in the lab with us. He's handsome and strong, and he's a very great friend, a wonderful gentleman. He…he turned the car so I wouldn't get hurt," she whispered.
"I know, Jess told me all about him," Marie kissed her daughter. "She also told me that when you created a fit when you didn't have your ring on."
"Jamie, you know better," Lee said.
"No, she's my daughter!" Marie smiled. "Of course she has to make a fuss when she doesn't have what she wants."
Lee rolled his eyes. "Will I ever be free of this madness?"
The room roared in laughter.
"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, I'm Gil Grissom from the crime lab. I'm Jamie's boss," Grissom approached Jamie's parents, pulling them aside so he could speak quietly. "I'd just like to say that though Jamie enjoys blasting her insane music and cracking jokes nonstop, all the while plucking my nerves, she's a great person and she knows what she's doing."
"If he's giving you a report on me, Mom, Dad, don't listen, it's all lies!" Jamie laughed.
Grissom rolled his eyes. "She really is good at what she does. And she's so young."
"That's because she and Jess were home schooled and were taking classes in the college when they were just sixteen," Marie smiled.
"They're the closest friends I've ever seen," Warrick said. "They'd do anything for each other."
"They really would," Nick smiled.
Jamie smiled proudly. "That's right. We would."
"Though they're always fighting and making fun of each other," Greg said.
"Oh, Mommy, Daddy, this is Eggo!" Jamie introduced Greg. "And that's Nick and Sara, aren't they the cutest couple? You know Grissom, and Jess. That's Warrick and his wife Tina. And that's David, my assistant. And then Detective Brass. These are the people I work with."
"We pray for you," Lise said, looking at the group.
Once more the room exploded in laughter.
"So tell me, has she broken anything?" Lee asked.
"Yeah, my nose," Brass spoke up.
Marie and Lee looked at Jamie.
"What?" Jamie asked. "He made a crude comment about me so I gave him what he deserved."
"You broke his nose?" Lee asked.
"That's my girl!" Marie gave Jamie a high five and a kiss.
"I did. And a busted lip," Jamie added proudly.
"She's broken several saws used in the autopsy when using them as microphones," David said quietly.
Marie and Lee couldn't help but laugh.
"On her first day," Grissom spoke up. "She was blasting the music and dancing during an autopsy. So I turned the music off. She started singing."
"All in all, she was allowed to turn the music back on, right?" Scott asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Hey! It's not my fault I can't sing!" Jamie laughed.
"Well, if you wouldn't moo when you sing," Jess said, thus receiving a pillow to the face once more.
"Bitch," Jamie huffed.
"Hey! Who are you calling a bitch, you bitch!" Jess growled.
"It takes one to know one!" Jamie closed her left eye and pulled the bottom lid of her right eye down with her middle finger and stuck her tongue out at Jess.
"Are they seriously always like this?" Catherine looked at their families.
"All the time," they said in unison.
"Everyone!" Nick yelled. "We have one last gift for Jamie!"
"Get out of the way!" Greg yelled from the hall.
Everyone moved aside, calming down from laughing at the show Jamie and Jess had just preformed.
"What did you do?" Jamie looked at Jess.
Jess smiled. "Just watch."
"We thought you couldn't have a very happy birthday without someone very special to you," Grissom said.
Tears filled Jamie's eyes as she watched the nurses wheel Archie's bed into her room, parking it right beside her.
"Jamie, don't cry," Archie said quietly, his throat sore from the tube supplying his oxygen that had just been removed.
"Archie!" Jamie rolled over and shuffled herself onto his bed, resting her head on his chest and holding him close. "I love you!"
Everyone smiled.
"Please don't be upset, Jamie," Archie watched her raise her head to look at him. "I'm perfectly fine. I may to be able to walk to write for a while, but I'm fine."
"Well," Jamie dried her eyes. "That's why you're coming to live in my condo with me. I'm letting Jess move in with Greg if she wants, as long as you come to stay with me. Someone has to take care of you!"
"Oh no, Jamie, you're going to be in a wheel chair. You can't take care of someone else!" Jess exclaimed.
Jamie turned to look at her friends. "Just you watch me."
Archie smiled and called her name. Jamie turned back to face him and he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips, taking her completely by surprise.
Two weeks later, the entire Crime lab was stunned at the sight they saw and heard. From the hall outside of the morgue, the incredibly deep bass of a guitar was booming repeatedly. But inside the morgue was what they'll never forget.
There was an autopsy in progress. On the shelf across the room, a medium size radio was blasting an incredibly noisy Japanese rock song called 'Pop is dead' by Miyavi. By the body that was being examined, Jamie stood, leaning on her crutches, beside Jess.
Both girls were donned with white lab coats and latex gloves, and plastic face masks. In Jamie's hand was the saw, and in Jess's hand was the suction to rid the area of access blood.
Though neither of the girls were using these tools properly. They were bouncing in place and singing the lyrics of the songs as loud as possible.
Grissom looked at Catherine, Nick, Sara, and Warrick and smiled.
"It's good to have her back, isn't it?" Nick asked.
Grissom sighed. "Yeah, I guess it is."
Jamie smiled at her friend. "I love you, Jess. With all my heart."
Jess hugged her. "I'll love you forever, Jamie. You know that. You bitch."
Jamie rolled her eyes. "You're the bitch…!"
"Me!" Jess exclaimed…
The End
