Thanks to y'all who are reading this, hope you're liking it!
Getting Better
Greg woke up three hours later. Looking around the room, he noticed Sara asleep by his bed. Smiling, he gently stroked her cheek until she woke up. "Hey," he said quietly.
"Hi," she said, wiping the sleep from her eyes. "How are you?"
"Sore," Greg said, placing his hands on his stomach. "What did they do?"
"They pumped your stomach to get everything else out," Sara said. "Just in time too."
Greg nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry, Sara," he looked at her sadly. "It was a stupid thing to do. I don't know what I would have done if I never saw you again."
Sara reached up and grasped one of his hands. "You're ok now, that's all that matters." She smiled. "But don't you dare try that again."
Greg smiled back. "I promise, I won't." He reached out and pulled Sara into a small hug. "Do the others know?"
"No," Sara said. "As far as they know, you have the flu and I'm taking some time off to get you better." She smiled.
"Thank you," Greg said, hugging her tighter. "When can I go home?"
"The doctor said I could take you home as soon as you woke up." She sat up and looked at him. "I'll call him in now so we can leave."
Greg nodded. "Ok." He watched her as she walked to the door. "Sara?"
"Hmmm?"
"I love you."
Sara smiled lovingly. "I love you too." She left to get the doctor and Greg lay back, smiling.

Once they left the hospital, they went to Sara and Hank's apartment.
"Sara?" Greg asked nervously. "Why am I here?"
Sara smiled reassuringly. "It's ok, I only need to grab my things. Hank's at a bar, meaning he won't get here until at least three in the morning. So we're safe." She got out of the car. "You can come in if you want."
Greg nodded. "I'll help you." He looked at Sara's questioning glance. "I don't want to take any chances."
Sara smiled warmly as they entered the apartment. They set to work packing Sara's things immediately. Forty-five minutes later, they were on their way to Greg's.
"He'll be surprised when he gets home," Sara said. Greg smiled and took her free hand in his, holding it the whole way back home.
