Hallie's POV
I sit next to Matt's bed side stroking his hand as he lay asleep for the anesthesia has yet to wear off." How is he doing?" Karen the night nurse walks in the room.
"The surgery went well." I give her a half a smile." He should be waking up soon its been six hours since he was brought in."
"That must have been so scary for you Hallie?" She places her hand on my shoulder." Do you mind if check his vitals quick?"
"Yeah of course." I sit back getting out of her way. No one knew about Matt and I splitting up, but Karen was right it still scared me to death seeing Matt like this. I could never hate him or be mad anymore, I had even forgiven him for what he did I just want him to be ok.
" Well all looks good." Karen smiles putting his chart back at the foot of the bed." I'll be back on next set of rounds, call me if anything Hallie."
"Thanks." I waive as she walks out the door.
I take Matt's hand back in my own as I hear a lite tap on the open door." Hallie." I look up to see Kelly standing there." Can I come in?" He asks in a soft voice.
"Sure." I nod my head." I didn't think anyone was still here for him?"
"Well most of the guys went home when they heard he was out of surgery." He says taking a seat across from me on the other side of Matt.
"And Gabby?" I ask in a soft voice not taking my eyes off of Matt, but knowing she fell through the roof as well." Is she ok?" My concern genuine.
Kelly sat silent for a minute only answering when I finally glanced over ." She awake now, Shay is with her." He takes a deep breath then looks over to Matt again." They are running some tests, but they think its just a concussion."
"Hmm." I slightly chuckle." Gabby got lucky." I say with a bit of venom in my tone.
Kelly looks over to me with an odd expression then reaches his hand across Matt's body resting it over mine." He is going to be fine, Casey's a tough son of a bitch." And I look at him wondering if he even knows what Matt did to break my heart.
"Kelly, Matt and I... " My voice trails off due to the sudden movement beneath our hands." Matt." I whisper placing my hand on his cheek as he opens his bright blue eyes.
"Casey?" Kelly moves closer to Matt's other side.
"What?" Matt's voice whispers through his chapped lips." Where?" His eyes now focus on mine." What happened?"
"You fell through the roof, hit your head pretty good." I tell him with a chuckle my eyes watering." You needed surgery to relieve the pressure in your head that the injury caused.
"Roof?" Matt croaks out with a look of confusion then glances over to Kelly." Why was I on the roof?"
"You and Dawson were venting."
"Venting?" Matt snapped his fogginess slipping away by the second." Dawson where is she? And why were we on the roof I thought she was trapped underground?"
Kelly glanced up to me a look of confusion as Matt glanced back over to me." Why do you think Gabby was trapped?"
"The building exploded while we were volunteering."
Gabby's POV
"I'm fine Shay." I snap for like the tenth time from the small gurney I rested on in the emergency room." I just need to go see Matt." I slam down the icepack I held to my pounding head.
"Not until you get checked out." She snaps firmly at me." Kelly is sitting with him so he's not alone."
I ignore my best friend as I start to sit up a waive of dizziness hits me again." Shay." I whimper falling back onto the gurney as she rushes to my side." I just want to see him know that he's ok."
"I know sweety and you will soon." Shay reasures placing the icepack back on my temple.
With that a doctor walks into my room." Ms. Dawson, how are we feeling?" The female doctor asks removing the ice pack from my head." I'm Dr. Nelson." She smile a soft smile down to me.
"I'm fine." I mutter just wanting to get out of this damn bed already.
"You need a few stitches on her head." Dr. Nelson says ignoring my muttering." How is your dizziness? Subside at all?"
I bite my lip contemplating lying to get out of here but Shay jumps in." She just tried getting up but got dizzy just a few minutes ago."
"Thank you." Dr. Nelson nods to Shay then looks to me." I want to get you an MRI to be sure its no more then a concussion."
"Doc really I'm fine." I try to protest.
"Any chance you might be pregnant?" She asks walking to the computer to schedule the MRI.
"I, I?" My head feels fuzzy in confusion." I don't think so?" My answer unsure as I think.
"Ms. Dawson when was your last period?" Dr. Nelson turns to face me." Do you need a calander?" She asks pulling out a pocket calander from her lab coat
"No ." I waive her off and I look over to Shay." It was two weeks before the hospital explosion. March 15th."
"Chicago Med?" Dr. Nelson asks as Shay says." It's May 2nd!"
I nod my head with wide eyes." I didn't even realise I missed it, I've been so stressed with my job change." I look at both women my tears building." I didn't realise."
"It's ok." Dr. Nelson puts her hand over mine." Maybe it's stress related." She says walking to the draw beside me pulling out a needle." Let's be sure, with a quick blood test before I schedule any more testing for you."
I nod at her turning my attention to Shay as the doc drew my blood." I've been really stressed." I whisper to her as she nodded staying silent.
"Just sit tight." Dr. Nelson taps my hand before turning to walk out." I'll put a rush on this."
"Oh Doc?" I call out and she stops in the doorway." Can you find out about how Matt Casey is doing?"
"He's awake."A voice spoke from behind. It was Hallie as she stepped further in." Can we talk?" She looks right at me.
"Dr. Nelson." Hallie smiles.
"Good to see you Dr. Thomas." Dr. Nelson spoke then turned back to me." I'll be back with your results soon sit tight."
I nod to Dr. Nelson then look to Hallie placing the ice pack back on my temple." Nows not a good time."
"Please Gabby." She steps further in." I come in peace." She says with her arms raised." Leslie can you give us a moment?"
I nod for Shay that its ok." I'll be right outside." She tells me .
I watch as she leaves before speaking." So he's ok, awake?" I ask awkwardly.
"He is." Hallie answers with a strange expression before continuing." He's awake but his last memory is the day of Chicago med explosion".
My heart sinks into my stomach.
Author's notes: don't hate me fellow readers but stick with me over the next few chapters and you will be rewarded.
On a happy note Derek Haas answered my question this morning during his q&a. For those who didn't see it I asked if dawsey's apartment is real or a set. His answer was after two years of real locations they finally built dawsey a set. So for all us dawsey fans I must admit that sounds rather promising! Tell me your opinions with your reviews.:-) Have a great weekend all!
