NCIS and SHIELD Divided c21
It felt like forever to Bobbie when a nurse finally came out to give them an update, Bobbie would have jumped up but Maria grabbed her shoulder making her remain seated. It was good news, they were almost finished and it was a success. When the nurse left them Bobbie followed her with her gaze back behind closed doors. She tried coughing discreetly, but Maria and Sharon were on her.
"Maria." Sharon said looking up at her and she gave a small nod
"Back to your room."
"But…"
"No buts, Sam would want you taking care of yourself, so that you can give her the lecture of taking care of herself." Maria replied helping her up, when she still felt a little resistance she threatened to bring a wheelchair over. That got her up. They took her back to the room, she was told that Daisy was going to sit with the family if any other news was given. Bobbie watched as a nurse came in and hooked her up to the machine and ended up connecting her to another iv. Sharon placed her hand on her forehead looking at the nurse.
"She has a fever."
"I'm fine." Bobbie mumbled but took the mask off as she had a coughing fit, she was gasping for breath afterwards and missed the concerned looks from the others in the room.
"Coughing up blood." Rang in Bobbie's ears as Maria was next to her replacing the oxygen mask over her face.
'Hurts to breathe.' Bobbie mumbled over the link she was sitting up trying to get air into her lungs.
"Need to run some tests, stay on her stats if they drop hit the call button." The nurse said leaving the room Bobbie looked up at Maria.
'What is going on?' Bobbie asked over the link
"Focus on your breathing." Maria replied so that is what Bobbie did, when the nurse came back in with another nurse they ran many tests before leaving. They spoke with Sharon and Maria before leaving as Maria turned to look at Bobbie that was now lying down. Maria moved over to her and held her attention.
'Not dying am I?" Bobbie asked in a joking manner but it dropped when Maria did not smile back.
"You have an infection in your lung, it is filling up with fluid so they will have to drain it. For this they are going to sedate you." Maria replied
"What?" Bobbie cried out, 'what about Sam?'
"She will be fine, she will be sedated for a while." Maria replied as some doctors came in with a cart Bobbie looked it over and knew what that was used for.
'Maria please, I need to be there for Sam.' Bobbie pleaded across the link but Maria still gave the go ahead for them to start. Bobbie tried resisting, but it was a very weak attempt she ended up falling asleep and the doctor got to work.
Bobbie was moved to a new room one that connected to a second room that was the room that Sam was placed in after her operation. Her family were with her Daisy, Sharon and Maria were in with Bobbie even though they could keep an eye on Sam. Ellie came over and spoke with them when she saw Bobbie she was concerned. Maria was edgy, she had almost lost Bobbie again not to mention Sam. She was angry that they still had not found the man responsible even though SHIELD was looking and NCIS was also looking. Overall she was tired, she had not been getting much rest worried for her two pack members.
"Do you think she's dreaming?" Daisy asked looking at Bobbie
"Maybe," Sharon replied
"If she is I hope it is a good dream." Daisy stated
"She's dreaming." Maria stated getting Daisy's attention
"You can do that when they are sedated?" Daisy asked referring to her ability to enter her packs dreams.
"No, but I know Sam is. Their dreams have blended."
"What does that mean?"
"They are sharing a dream." Maria replied she only knew because of the link with Sam because even though she was sedated it was still open she just could not interact with her.
"Is it a good dream?"
"They are happy." Maria replied not looking at the door when Natasha came in with Izzy, Clint and Steve. Maria was surprised to see Steve with them again Natasha only shrugged.
"He was with us when we got the call, Wanda and Alexa wanted to come but I thought it best for them to stay at the tower. How is she doing?" Natasha asked moving over to Maria.
"An infection, they cleared her lungs and are pumping her with antibiotics." Maria replied, "Sam's surgery went well…now we need to wait for them to wake up." Maria replied
"They will recover." Natasha stated holding onto Maria's hand. "When was the last time you slept?"
"On and off." Maria replied with a shrug she was looking through the window into the room next door to look at Sam who was hooked up to machines, her gaze landed on her arm and where it stopped just below the elbow.
"She will get through this." Natasha stated following her gaze to Sam.
"Bobbie's worried she will hate her for it." Maria stated
"Those two are inseparable they fight but always get back together in the end. They will have us to help also."
"Her mother was talking about taking her home."
"She won't leave Bobbie." Natasha replied she also knew that her wolf would not want to leave them, or more specifically Maria.
Natasha managed to convince Maria to get some rest, as she stayed and watched over Bobbie and Sam. Daisy was sitting next to Bobbie looking at her Natasha moved over to her, she knew how close Daisy was with her.
"She will be fine." Natasha stated
"How do you know?" Daisy asked
"Because she is too stubborn not to be. She will be fighting for Sam and Sam will be fighting for her." Natasha replied as Daisy looked from Bobbie over to Sam in the next room to see her parents sitting with her. Daisy had met them and thought how lucky Sam was to have a family like them.
"Maria had said that they are sharing a dream, how?" Daisy asked
"They are soulmates. Every soul bond is different, no one really knows the full extent of what they can do." Natasha replied
"They have been asleep for three days, why have they not woken?" Daisy asked she was back in the room with Maria, Natasha, Izzy and Sharon the others are all busy following a lead.
"Are they still dream sharing?" Natasha asked looking at Maria who nodded her head.
"Maybe they prefer it in the dream, come on you know these two they are probably planning trouble or at some fancy party." Izzy stated
"Have you tried waking her?" Natasha asked looking at Maria
"You said she was stubborn…Bobbie knows what is going on out here, she knows their injuries. Sam knows she is hurt." Maria replied she had tried waking Bobbie up but was unable to. "It is getting late, you guys should head back to the apartment." Maria added.
"You staying here?" Natasha asked and Maria nodded before looking back over at Sam's family. After they were gone she sat with Bobbie for a while longer before she went to check on Sam, she managed to convince her family to go get some sleep and she would stay keeping them informed if anything changed. It had been over two hours since her family left and Maria was reading a book out loud to Sam when she felt her over the link. Sam was waking up. Maria moved so she was next to the bed and watched as Sam slowly woke up, she opened her eyes and blinked a couple of times before her attention moved to Maria who was smiling at her.
"What…" She stopped her voice was raspy and her throat hurt. So Maria gave her a drink of water calling in one of the pack nurses.
"You have no idea how good it is to see you awake." Maria said.
"Hurts." Sam replied blinking as the nurse adjusts her medicine.
"I know,"
"Bobbie?" Sam asked
"Next door, she is asleep."
"Ellie?"
"She is fine, with your family they are in a place Stark set up for them. You remember what happened?"
"Bobbie told me…it's hazy." Sam replied "Wait my family is here?" Sam asked
"Yeah, took a lot to convince them to get some rest." Maria replied, "The pack has been in and out visiting. Sent them to get some rest too."
"You…you should rest too." Sam mumbled her eyes drifting close once again she ended up falling asleep now that the nurse had finished checking her over, she was not happy with the light in her eyes but found herself unable to move. Maria sat there for a few minutes looking down at Sam before sitting back in the seat. She did end up ringing Sam's mother but convinced them to wait until morning. The next time Sam woke up her family was in the room but she found herself wanting Maria over them, she looked up at her Mother and Father who looked relieved her brothers were also looking at her and Ellie was off to one side.
"How is it…I am the one that nearly dies but I look better than you lot?" Sam asked smiling up at them, they were not amused at her joke. The doctor came in and asked many questions but Sam was stuck looking at her arm. The tension in the room was thick as they waited for her to react but she ended up blinking before looking back at the doctor. "Bobbie?" She asked and the doctor indicated the room next door, John opened the curtain to reveal Bobbie's room but she was still asleep. Sam saw Maria was in the room and their eyes met, she poured her feelings over the link to her.
"Sam." Her mother called her name making her look away from Maria and look at her she was talking to the doctor she wanted her input on how much pain she was in but Sam's mind was only focused on one thing she only had one arm. Maria was keeping her calm, stopping her from lashing out at her family, her wolf did not want them around her she wanted Maria and her pack.
