Flint had woken up in the middle of the night. He looked around the room. It was all dark except for the light coming from his bathroom. He slowly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom wanting to take a shower. Lifeline had seen to it that the nurses had some scrubs set out for him along with the various toiletry items he would need. She slowly stripped off the hospital gown and started the shower. He looked at himself in the mirror and didn't like what he saw. He looked gaunt. He needed to shave, but he would do that later. He shook his head then jumped in the shower.
Flint's mind began to wander as he stood there letting the hot water run over him. Memories of their honeymoon came flooding to him. Images of him taking her against the shower wall as each of them washed the salt water from their bodies.
Flint shook his head again to clear it then proceeded with his shower. After he was done he got out of the shower and wrapped the small towel around his waist, it barely fit. He went over and wiped the fog off the mirror and shaved. Once he was done he grabbed the fresh clothing and walked back into his hospital room and slowly got dressed.
Flint couldn't get his wife off his mind. He needed to see her, to reassure himself that she was indeed all right. He walked over to his hospital room door and looked out into the hallway and saw that only one nurse sat at the nurse's station and she was distracted by something she was reading. He left his room and started wandering hoping to find her on his own. He didn't think Lifeline or Psyche-Out would help him after what happened the last time he saw her.
He wandered for over an hour and was now three floors below his floor when he finally found her room. He stood in the door way and looked at her. She was laying on her left side with her right arm over her swollen belly. He groaned softly and cursed himself when he saw that her right arm was in a cast. He took a deep breath and walked into her room and looked around. He could hear the soft blip, blip of the fetal monitor. He smiled when he saw that the baby had a good heart rate. He watched the monitor with a soft smile and didn't notice that Lady Jaye had woken up.
Jaye lay there watching him for several minutes before Flint noticed her. He thought for sure she would look at him with hate after what he had done to her but instead of hate he saw concern and love. He reached down and caressed her cheek. "I'm so sorry Allie."
Jaye put her hand on his. "Don't be. Psyche-Out told me what happened." She smiled at him and patted the bed behind her. "You look tired, come lay down."
Flint slowly laid down with his wife and snuggled up to her as best he could. He wanted to say so much but almost immediately he fell asleep and Jaye was right behind him.
Lifeline and Psyche-Out ran to Lady Jaye's room hoping that she was all right. When they didn't fine Flint in his room the expected the worst. When they rushed into the room they stopped dead in their tracks and backed out.
"Let's leave them for tonight." Lifeline said to Psyche-Out. "I'll have the nurses keep an extra eye on them."
Psyche-Out agreed. "They found his weakness and used it against him. But now that is the key to his healing."
They walked off and left the married couple to sleep.
