Chapter 17

A/n: Okay first off I want to say I'm sorry for the cliffhangers. I honestly didn't know I was doing it. I just thought it was a good place to stop because I usually run out of ideas by that time! Lol! So if you guys would please stop emailing me about the cliffhangers I think I can give you guys a happy ending with my chapters! Well anyways enough with me, let's see how Dave and Kitten are huh? Sound good? ;D

Dave watched as Kitten's lifeless body jumped from each jolt of electricity as the doctors tried to get her back. His own heart stopped beating every time it did. He closed his eyes and prayed for her to back to him and just like, she can back to life. Dave's eyes shot open and darted all over her to see if she really was okay. Her chest was rising and falling normally. His own heart started to beat normally as he fell against the door frame of her room. He closed his eyes as he sat against the frame with his head in his hands.

"Dave?", said a faint voice. Batista's eyes shot open a second time in 5 minutes. He slowly stood up, not taking his eyes off Kitten's bed. He wanted to make sure his ears weren't deceiving him, so he slowly approached. "Dave, I know your there--", she said in a whisper. Her lips curled as she smelled his his scent coming closer to her. Her eyes were still closed as he sat down. The doctors had left and there was only one nurse there checking her vitals. Hunter was still at the door and was soon joined by Ric and Stephanie. He looked over at the both of them and steered them away from the room.

"Hunter, I just wanted to see how she was."

"Yeah I know Steph, but Dave and Kitten haven't talked to each other in a while. Let them have their moment, huh?"

"I guess you're right, but I want to talk to her afterwards."

"Alright, I'll come check on them in 20 minutes", he said to his fiance. She smiled at him gave him a kiss. "I'm going to get some gifts for her, you two want to help me pick out something for her?"

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea. All I got her was the little teddy bear sitting on her side table." Ric said from behind them. Hunter and Stephanie smiled at their long time friend. They nodded and all headed to the elevator.

Back in Kitten's room, Dave was holding Kitten's hand as she laid still. She was still awake but never opened her eyes to even look at him. To be honest, Dave was kind of happy that she didn't. He knew he looked terrible and she would probably get mad at him for looking like that. It made him smile to know that she cared so much for him.

"What are you smiling at?", she said faintly. Her lips curled again into a smile knowing exactly what exactly his shocked expression looked like. "Yes Dave, I know you're smiling and I know that you're probably shocked that I know you're smiling", she giggled. It made her cough but she settled it quickly because she could feel Dave tense up.

"Baby, you okay?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. It's just I can't really make any sudden movements or breathe to fast. I get dizzy from the lack of oxygen. But rest assured, I'm fine."

"Can you open your eyes then? So I can see that you're alright?"

"I'll try, but I opened my eyes a little before, and the light totally blinded me, so don't get your hopes up.", she said softly. She took a deep breath before she tried to open them. She managed to open them half way, just to make sure she could open them that much so that she didn't hurt her eyes. She found that a large veiny object was disrupting the light from her eyes. She smiled and pulled it down to her lips and gave it a light kiss right in the middle of it.

"Thank you Dave. I really don't know what I would do without you."

"Hey, it's my job to make sure beautiful ladies such as yourself, are treated well and have everything they would ever need."

"Well then, I need you", she said softly. Dave almost fell out of his chair. He almost released her hand, but she held on to it. "I know I said that we weren't together and all… but I think we are. I mean, we make one helluva team"

"Yeah, we do", Dave said quietly. He was still in shock about what she said. "She really wants me.", Dave thought to himself. He held her eyes gently in his gaze. "So you and me huh? Like officially?"

"Yup, I guess it does, but I want to take it slow. You okay with that?"

"I'm fine with anything you say, but you have to make a deal with me?"

"Uh oh, am I going to have to sell my soul?"

"Oh ha ha, no, you're not going to sell your soul. All you have to do is get back your health, alright?"

"That's a good deal, but I have another deal for you"

"Yeah? Let's hear it?"

"Ask the doctors if you can move in here, that way I don't have to be alone and the guys don't have to walk back and forth from one room to another."

"It's a deal", he said smiling. He stood up and gave her a kiss on the lips. "I'm going to go get the doctor. I'll be right back"

"And I'll be waiting.", she said after him. He was at the door when he almost ran into Hunter, Stephanie, and Ric. They all jumped back, bumping into one another. This made the big guy smile. He looked back at Kitten who was watching the whole ordeal from her bed. She was wearing her biggest smile at them.

"She's up and she's talking so I guess that's a good sign"

"Yeah, I guess it is.", Hunter said. He walked past Dave and went over to the bed. He place a kiss on top of Kitten's head. She smiled up at him and gave him a nod. "How are you feeling, Kitten. You scared the hell out of us."

"Sorry, didn't mean to.", she said coarsely. She tried to laugh but ended up coughing instead. The sound of her made Dave turn around quickly. "Dave, you go back to your room. I will be fine, and if you don't believe me, remember our little deal, she softly. She looked over at him and gave him a wink. He smiled and gave her a wink back. He nodded at Hunter before he turned around and walked out back to his room. "How is he?"

"Dave? He's been better. Hasn't slept very well since you two got here."

"Well tell him to stop worrying so much! I'll be fine!"

"Yeah I know. I wanted to give you this", HHH said softly. He pulled out a big white soft teddy bear that was holding a broken heart stitched together. On it, it said 'get well soon'. Kitten smiled as Hunter handed it to her. "Hope you like it."

"Aww Hunter I love it. Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'm gunna go let you rest now and check up on Dave, alright?"

"Good idea. I'm tired because it's hard to keep my eyes open."

"Well then you go to sleep. I'll tell you have Dave's doing when you're awake"

"Sounds good, thanks Hunter!"

"Anytime", HHH smiled. He stood up and helped her put the bear on the side table next to her bed. He turned around and gave her a kiss on the forehead again before leaving her to go back to sleep.

He walked out of Kris' room and entered Dave's, and short while away. He was sitting on his bed with his legs hanging over the side. His gaze was fixed on the floor in front of him. His thought was interrupted when he saw Hunter's shoes standing in front of him. He took a deep breath before looking at the Champ.

"You feeling alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine… how's Kitten?"

"Dave man look, I know you like her and everything but--"

"She said she wanted to give us a shot Hunter"

"What? Really? Dave, that's great! But wait, why do you look like you just got hit my a truck?", Hunter question. It took him a second to realize what he just said. Dave looked up at the man with a grin on his face. "Sorry"

"It's alright. Look man I know you probably want to talk and all but I wanna sleep, so I'll see ya later"

"Sounds good. I think Ric and Stephie are waiting for me anyways"

"Yeah you guys go home. We'll talk to you in the morning"

"Sounds good.", Hunter said. He gave pat on Dave's shoulder before leaving the big man by him self to sleep. Dave rolled backwards gently and instantly felt calm and peaceful. Everything was going in a good direction for once in his life. He and Kitten both survived a horrible accident. Kitten came back to life and more importantly said she wanted him. Man life could not get any better, or can it? (;D)
