Chapter 6
Morrison Hospital's ICU outside of Sam's room.
-next day-
"Okay I just need you to roll up your sleeve for me Dean." Nurse Gail took out a small needle and a thin plastic tube out of her small teal box. Dean rolled up his sleeve just above his elbow as she blotted the cotton ball with alcohol.
"So what's this for again?" Dean said incredulously.
"Dr. Reye says he needs a sample of your blood to run some tests on. He wouldn't tell me why, I was hoping you would." She said as she cleaned the area in the crease of his arm.
"Uh….he said he'd like to keep it between us." Dean said, giving an innocent smirk.
"Alright I understand. Your not afraid of needles are you?"
"Me? No way." Dean stated firmly.
"Okay Hercules, let me find the vein and then we can get our sample." She flicked his arm three times before the vein appeared. "Take a deep breath."
"You know you don't have to coach me through this right?" he reassured.
"I could close my eyes and just jab it in anywhere if you prefer?" She smiled when Dean's eyes grew wide, his face making a cringe . " I didn't think so."
He took a deep breath as she stuck the needle under his skin. He felt a little woozy when he saw the blood flow out of his arm and into the plastic tube. He had gotten bloody and bruised all the time during hunts, so it even amazed him that he hadn't just got the crap beat out of him by some creature and yet he was feeling faint at the sight of his own blood. Maybe its because he never had to actually "watch" the blood being drained from his body.
"Alright, all done. Now which bandage would you like? I gotPower Ranger'sand Barbie, take your pick." She tried to contain her laughter as she waved around the colorful children's bandages.
"Your just loving this aren't you? Well since you don't have any regular, give me the Barbie one."
She gave him a strange look as she removed the plastic backs off of the bandage.
"What? I always have a hot blonde on my arm where ever I go." Dean gave a sheepish smile as she pressed on the Band-Aid. She looked up and smiled, studying Dean's handsome features.
"What?"
"Funny and cute, I can she why she likes you."
"Who?" Dean scrunched up his face in confusion as she sealed the small vile of blood in a plastic bag with Dean's name on it.
"I guess your not too smart though. I'm going take this to the lab downstairs." She took off down the hall, leaving Dean to bask in his own confusion.
He shrugged it off and rolled down his sleeve as he walked into Sam's room.
His eyes traveled to Sam's heart monitor, he was slightly relieved that it had not dropped since yesterday and was currently at 41. He sat down in the chair and placed his hand over Sam's.
"Hey buddy. I just got some blood taken, Doc says we have to confirm that we're the same blood type before he can do anything."
He looked down at the ground for a second and returned his gaze to Sam.
"I'm going to tell you something's that are pretty important Sammy, so I want you to listen up good alright?"
He reached into his back pocket and took out the crinkled paper he had scribbled his thoughts down on when he was at the motel last night. He held it in his hand for a second, letting all the thoughts run through his mind. He opened the letter and quietly laughed to himself that he actually wrote this stuff down, it amused him more that it was in numerical order of importance, the most important things fell to the top of the list.
"Well first of all Sammy. When you get out of here, you know after you let yourself heal, I want you to go back to school. Become the lawyer you always wanted to be, and make lots of money so you don't have to gamble and hustle like your big bro.
Two, I want you to start dating again and find yourself a nice wholesome girl that you could maybe marry some day and have some kids of your own. I'm telling you Sammy, you need to give Sarah chick a call cause she was perfect for you. But when you get another girlfriend, buy her something every once in a while, they like stuff like that. Dare I say it, you have to tough it out through a chick flick when they want to see one.
Three, I want you to patch things up with dad. Just find him, sit him down and have a long talk. No more getting at each others throats, I swear I'll kick both of your asses if you do.
Four, Always drive a nice car, chicks dig that. Strictly American-made Sammy, none of those foreign imports. Yep….take care of that car for me will ya, remember what I said, I'll haunt your ass if anything happens to my baby.
Umm five, I don't want you to hunt anymore. No exceptions. I know you want revenge on that evil bastard that killed mom and Jessica but you have to remember…. it won't bring them back, and I don't want you getting yourself killed trying to get that revenge.
Six, Sammy, you know whats out there. All the crap we've seen, all the son-of-a-bitchs we sent back to hell. Just promise me you won't………that you won't get lost in the dark. Promise me if you do, you'll always find a way back into the light. I know I said I want you to leave the life you had behind and start over, but don't forget about what's out there. But you don't have to be afraid because I'll be right there p-protecting y-you."
Tears welled up in the hunter's eyes as he struggled to continue. " Here, I'll just save the rest of this and you can read it later." He said, tucking the letter into Sam's coat pocket that was draped over the table in the corner of the room. He heard a low beep. Dean cringed and silently prayed that it wasn't what he thought-knew it was. Turning around Sam's heart monitor revealed the bitter truth, he had dropped down to forty. Dean picked up the tissue box and threw it across the room in frustration. He scrubbed his hands over his damp face.
"Dean, are you okay?" Nurse Gail stood looking in and had just witnessed Dean's little tantrum.
" Yeah I'm fine, did you need something?"
"Well I came to check on Sam, and to tell you that the lab is running its test Dr. Reye will come and talk to you when they are done."
Dean nodded as she came in with one of Sam's charts. She frowned slight at the number she saw on the screen and reluctantly wrote it down on his form. " The doctor told me he needs a new heart."
"He's going to get one….soon." Dean confirmed.
"Well he's on the top of the donor's list so don't you worry, they should have another heart for him as early as tomorrow." She patted him on the back as she left the room.
Yep, tomorrow is the day Sam. I hope your ready just as much as I am.
