"No that's my sons name. Lucy is my wife" Lee explained hastily "I have to see her, you have to take me there"

The doctor called for a nurse to stay with Tim who was now panicking even more, after all she was his sister though he knew that Lee was better being with her now and he needed to wait for Daisy. Lee promised to text him an update once he was with Lucy and then soon as the nurse arrived, the doctor whisked Lee back to the ward where Lucy had been on.

"I... I need... Lucy..." Lee panted as he ran up to the nurses station desk, trying to catch his breath from having practically run down the corridor. The nurse looked confused for a moment until the doctor caught up with them and explained.

"Our Jane Doe in room five, we believe her name is Lucy. This is her husband"

The doctor showed Lee down to the room. He opened the curtain and sure enough there was Lucy sat on the bed, getting a particularly nasty looking cut on her face seen to by a nurse. Lee almost burst into tears at the sight of her sitting there, shouting back a quick thank you to the doctor before rushing up to her and taking her hands gently.

"Hi love" he greeted her softly, gently reaching out to tuck some hair behind her ear once the nurse had finished dressing the wound. Lucy looked up at him and he could tell that she had been terrified.

"Hey it's okay, I'm here now. You're safe here with me I promise" Lee said as he gently and with permission from the nurse sat down and placed her onto his lap, cradling his wife tenderly against his chest whilst trying not to aggravate her wounds

"I was so scared" she whispered as she lent her head against him "All I could think about was you, and Charlie, but my mouth wouldn't speak"

"You're okay now I promise" Lee gently stroked her hair in what he hoped was a soothing manner, comforting people had never been his strong point but his wife meant the world to him. He looked up to the nurse who was just packing things away and she smiled at them. She looked like there was something else that needed doing and Lee silently asked if she would need him to move. She shook her head.

"You can stay right there, I just need to ask her some questions to check that the shock is wearing off and that there's been no damage or memory loss" the nurse explained. Lee gently encouraged Lucy to look up, reassuring her that they didn't have to move but that she should listen to what the nurse said.

"Hi darling, I just need you to answer a few questions for me is that okay?" The nurse asked and continued once Lucy nodded.

"What's your name sweetheart?"

"Lucy"

"What year were you born Lucy?"

"1979"

"And do you know what year it is now?"

"2016."

"Do you know where we are?"

"Hospital..."

"Can you remember what happened?"

"Daisy offered to pick me up from work, I could've gotten back myself but I was just feeling so tired. I'd been up a lot of the night with Charlie so she was just being a good friend. We chatted a bit and then there was just... a bright light. I closed my eyes to try and block it out but then when I opened them again there was just blood spreading out everywhere..."

Lee felt himself inhale sharply, it was hard to hear the full details of what happened. The nurse gave him a sympathetic pat on his arm and then turned her attention back to Lucy.

"Well done you've been amazing there, I'm sure your husband will take good care of you when you get home" she smiled gently before turning back to Lee "You should be able to take her home very soon, we're just waiting on some test results and we'll send her home with some pain meds & extra bandages for her wrist"

She let them have a moment together and Lee gently pulled Lucy in closer, stroking the top of her head and kissing her cheek.

"I'm surprised they managed to get in touch with you, I couldn't even tell them my name" Lucy said as she tried to calm down from the day's tumultuous events.

"They didn't actually, I'm only here cos they called Tim to tell him that Daisy had been in a crash and he came to ask for a lift" Lee explained to her, instantly worried when her face suddenly dropped.

"What's wrong? Are you in pain? Do you need the nurse to come back?" Lee asked, desperately searching for some sort of call button to get a nurse when Lucy caught his hand and shook her head.

"No... not for me, I'm fine. It's Daisy I'm worried about. Is she okay?" She asked him and Lee gently tried to explain

"Daisy is erm... she's in surgery right now. Brain surgery" he admitted, Lucy's gasp tearing straight through his heart "They say she's gonna be okay. It'll take time and Lord knows what she's gonna be like for a while but I think they're cutting her brain out?"

Lee was genuinely baffled by the term, but he had half hoped that the joking might brighten Lucy up a little. However all he got was a weak slap on the arm.

"She's our friend Lee and she's badly hurt, don't be rude" Lucy admonished him

"Sorry love" he replied. Humour was just his coping mechanism in times like this and Lucy knew that so she didn't take it to heart or tell him off too badly aside from the odd eye roll. She carefully went to lean against his chest again as he spoke

"Truth is I'm worried about her too. But Tim's here and waiting for her, he'll be with her soon as she's out of surgery"
