Part seven- Don't speak
The next morning Natalie woke up to find Iain fast asleep by her bed making her lightly nudge him,
"Nat? How along was I out for?" Natalie shrugs taking his hand in hers,
"I have only woken up myself. Have you been here all night?"
"Yeah I didn't want to leave you besides I wanted to make sure that your safe!" Natalie feels touched by This as she squeezes his hand,
"Iain I love how you look out for me but the last thing I want is you wearing yourself out because of me!" Iain strokes her hair,
"I'm fine Nat's I promise you. Look never mind me how you feeling today?"
"Honestly bit sore. But it's okay" Iain kisses her forehead knowing that she hated to make a fuss,
"Listen I am just going to the bathroom won't be long!"
"Iain go home and get some rest!" Natalie ordered making Iain smirk amused as he leaves the room to speak to her doctor.
Iain was in his flat quickly changing his clothes before heading back to the hospital when there was a knock on the door,
"Hey" Iain was frozen in shock as standing infront of him was Sam,
"Oh Uh hey sam what you..."
"You going to let me in as its a long story!" Iain knew sam and knew when she was troubled by something which he really wasn't prepared for,
"Make it quick I need to get to the hospital"
"Oh you working?"
"No. My girlfriend is in the hospital" Sam looked surprised as she made herself comfy on the sofa,
"Girlfriend huh? So how long has that been going on then?"
"Does it matter? So why you here?"
"Well I needed to get away for abit..."
"Oh Sam don't tell me that you and Tom are splitting up!"
"No! Just that I've been feeling bit smothered lately..."
"Smothered?"
"Yeah being a full time mum is way to overwhelming..."
"Mum? Well you kept that quiet! Look I really need to be off Nat needs me!"
"But Iain.." Iain heads out the flat unable to take much more as he heads over to the station needing to see Dixie who always gave good advice,
"Oh hey kiddo! How's Nat?"
"She is alright but Uh I'm not dix"
"Spill all kiddo!" Iain explains all about Sam turning up making Dixie angry not at Iain but towards Sam,
"Iain darling I know you had a deep connection with Sam but she is married and you have a girl who adores the bones off of you and believe me that is hard to find!" Iain exhales slowly nodding his head taking dixies hand,
"Thank you I think I know what I have to do!"
"Always here mate you know that!" Iain heads back to the hospital to find Natalie fast asleep,
"Oh Iain how Is she?" Honey asks looking upset as Ethan awkwardly wraps an arm around her,
"Oh she is fine was in some pain this morning but apart from that she's fine...listen honey thanks for letting me know yesterday!" Honey nods her head as she looks over at her friend,
"You know that she is my best mate and that she tells me stuff Iain..."
"Yeah?"
"Well what I'm getting at is ever since she met you she talks about you non stop...she lights up when she's around you!" Iain felt choked up as he enters the room and lightly presses his lips against her forehead before sitting down beside her.
