When she got back to his room he was in the bed again with the TV on. Then turns his head and sees her in the doorway.
"Hey come on NCIS is about to start. The previews show this one's about Abby." Don tells her.
"Yeah I like this show too. Are you sure I should stay it's getting late and your probably want to sleep after it's done?" Lindsay asks him.
"Come on Lindsay its still raining out. Stay another hour, please." Don makes a puppy dog face at Lindsay.
"Okay, okay I'll stay" Lindsay says smiling as she walks over to the bed and climb in next to him. "Thanks Lindsay."
"Come on Lindsay you don't have to sit on the other side of the bed like I got a disease." She moves over closer to him and he puts is arm around her like before.
"It's not that I just don't want to lean on you and then hurt you more." she says to him.
"Don't worry you didn't hurt me before and don't worry if it hurts I'll tell you. I promise." trying to put her at ease.
After awhile Flack falls asleep again. He pulls her a little closer for more of a snug fit. She finally let's go of the tension she had and relaxes. She likes how this feels like a perfect fit. After about an hour she fell asleep as well. For awhile they were peacefully sleeping together in the hospital bed. But Lindsay started to stir a bit, it hadn't woken Flack yet but it was getting worst. Then she sat up quickly breathing hard, which inveterately woke him up.
"Are you okay?" Don turned to her.
"I'm fineā¦I'm okay." she answered.
"Okay, if you say so." Was the only thing Don could say knowing she wasn't telling him everything. Looking over at her with concern on his face.
Lindsay noticed he was still watching her. She felt bad that he was really hurt in the bombing and here she was having stupid nightmares about her being caught in it. It was taking her awhile to get up the courage to tell him. He waited wanting her to share with him what was bothering her enough to wake her up.
"I feel kind of stupid."
"You're not stupid, and I don't think you're stupid. I'm just worried." As Don finally told her some of what he was feeling.
"Well since the bombing I've kind of been having trouble sleeping. I've been thinking what if you didn't come out, and what if I was in there instead of you." Lindsay was trying to say it to herself as much as Don so that it didn't sound as bad as it did.
Flack did the only thing he could think of he hugged her. And tried to tell her everything will be okay because he did make it out. And he wouldn't let anything happen to her if he could help it. Lindsay let out a small sob. And she hugged him back. He then started to comb though her hair with one of his hands and kissed her on the top of the head. To which made her smile against him. She slowly pulled back a little so she could look into his eyes. She couldn't believe how incredible blue his eyes were. Then he looked down at her lips, seeing that they were a little puffy. He noticed how they were parted and looked moist. She couldn't believe it, Don looked like he was going to kiss her. She looked at his lips then to his eyes moving her face a little closer to his. And then it happened at first it was just a small kiss. Her lips were soft. His lips were hard against hers then when she started to move them his became soft. He moaned little. He couldn't believe he was kissing an angel. Her lips parted to allow his tongue to explore her mouth. He found that she tasted like raspberries. As he deepens the kiss she moaned as well. Then they were kissing hungrily for each other. But they had to stop when they both needed air.
They stared at each other for a minute. Lindsay turned away for a moment blushing. Don turned and smiled. They both lay back against the bed, both feeling a bit awkward. Then Don then put his arm around Lindsay like he did before. She put her hand on his chest with a new feeling for this man beside her. Lindsay fell asleep quickly and didn't wake up once during the night. Don had waited for Lindsay to fall asleep first to make sure she was ok. He couldn't wait until the morning. She didn't know it but this was also the first time Don was able to sleep thought the night.
The next day was going to be a new beginning for these too. And you never know what the next day might bring but whatever it was they were going to do it together.
