"I can't walk. Please don't make me." Brittany begged the nurse that had come in yesterday and made her walk and rip her stitches." Come on Brittany we have orders to make you exercise your legs. Not straining that area this time so I will have to hold your hips but you need to get up." Quinn set in the chair watching the two battle it out. Brittany was assertive when she needed to be and that had a lot to do with being married to Santana she was a hundred percent sure of that." Lady look Brittany here is tired. Let her rest she tried standing up about four times now and it isn't working for her. Let her rest. Her body isn't ready." Lindsay trying to be as polite as she could to the woman she never seen in her life before but was important somehow to her patient" Let me please do my job."
Quinn rolled her eyes." It's her body I think she knows better than your tiny ass what is going on in there." Brittany shot the nurse an apologetic look before turning to Quinn." Could you text San and see how she is?" Brittany asked not wanting the two to get into a fight. Quinn would so kick this nurse's butt and that would not be a good thing." I will try one more time, okay?" Lindsay smiled as she nodded. Brittany stood and found this time to be easier to do so than the rest of the other times. Lindsay placed her hands on Brittany's hips and Brittany instantly tensed up." Don't tense just relax." Lindsay scowled. How the hell was she supposed to relax? She had another woman's hands on her hips and yes they were hands of a nurse but she couldn't relax with anyone other than Santana. Quinn was biting her lower lip hard and I knew she was imagining Santana tearing this woman up in front of her. I didn't realize she was taken a recording until I heard the beeper and I knew she was forwarding that video too. Drama I swear I rolled my eyes as Lindsay helped me sit down on the bed." Good, how do you feel?" Taken a noticing that I wasn't in any pain I was surprised.
"I don't feel any pain. "I exclaimed. Lindsay smiled at the sound of that." Good we will work on some more later. Doctor Jones will be happy to hear this." yes I thought as I sat back I wanted out of here as soon as possible" Lindsay could you help me take a shower?" Quinn's mouth dropped hearing those words." Did San text you back?" I asked pointing over to my nosy friend who nodded." She is still in bed." Quinn answered." Ok let her sleep go down and buy yourself some breakfast please get me a blue berry bagel. I am going to take a shower I feel like filth." "Um Brittany do you want to just wait until S gets here I mean she can help you or I would be willing too." I couldn't believe Quinn was questioning my decision. "I can take my own shower I just need help stepping in and out." I explained irritated. By the tone of my voice she didn't push any further she just left. I didn't care if she texted my wife or called her but I hoped she would let her sleep. San needed to take care of herself I had other people I could rely on though I loved for my wife to be the one to do everything like she had been doing. I realized how selfish I was being yesterday when she came to say she was going to go home. She looked just as terrible as me. "So do you need help with anything else?" Lindsay asked letting me grab onto her arm as she slowly lifted me from the bed." could you look at my back and tell me if the bruising is going down?" Lindsay agreed. After I showered and wrapped the towel around me I leaned against the sink while Lindsay examined my back." They look better Brittany. Wow there is so many of them though. Sorry you had to go through this whole ordeal. "Lindsay said genuinely feeling bad that this beautiful woman was treated so badly." Thanks and it's not your fault. Something that happens I guess."
Lindsay frowned" It should never happen." Brittany knew the girl didn't know what her wife did for a living no one knew but the gang and Santana's family and their close friends. Kitty only knew because I had a big mouth back in college that time Santana left. Kitty was scared back then of Santana and still is secretly but she loved to drive her crazy as often as she could." You ready to go back to bed?" Lindsay asked as the hospital room door opened up. Lindsay rolled her eyes making sure Brittany didn't see her as she heard the loud mouth Aka Santana Lopez." Brittany, baby you alright?" Santana asked coming through the bathroom door. The first thing she noticed was Lindsay's hand on Brittany's shoulder. Brittany's towel only covered the lower half of her. She was not liking this scenery in front of her one bit." what are you doing in here?" Santana demanded. Brittany raised the towel to cover her breast again." Lindsay was helping me with something." Santana's eyebrow rise" Why didn't you wait baby I could have helped you?" Brittany shrugged "I wanted you to sleep as long as you could. Which I know Quinn sent you that video and you probably woke straight up to run up here." Santana couldn't deny that. As soon as she saw Lindsay's hands on her wife's hips she was up and racing to get ready." I am more than capable of taken a shower on my own babe. She just helped me get in and get out and sat in the room until I called her. The only thing she seen she has. She just examined my back because I asked her too." I couldn't breathe and it was like an elephant was sitting on my chest now as I made it to the bed. Thinking it would help I laid back I didn't care I wasn't dressed. Santana turned to Lindsay.
"Could you give us a moment so I can help her dress?" Lindsay got the message loud and clear but before she could leave something caught her attention." Are you alright Brittany?" she asked seeing how pale Brittany's face had gotten. "I can't breathe." I said starting to hyperventilate." Try to relax Brittany." Lindsay instructed. Santana didn't know what to do so she grabbed a hold of Brittany's hand and started trying to sooth her wife like the other nurse had taught her." Brittany, baby its ok. It will pass." Brittany's head snapped in my direction. I could see her struggling and it killed me more than anything to see her like this. I didn't care that she was exposed at the moment. Doctor Jones and another nurse came rushing in" Brittany hey what's going on?" Doctor Jones asked trying to get her attention. He was successful as Brittany turned to face him. She looked like a scared two year old." I can't breathe." she whispered trying to answer him." I see, your heart rate is also racing Hun. We need you to lay back and relax." Brittany nodded and tried to lay back.
"Oh my god, look at that hot woman and she is naked!" a twelve year old boy said stopping to glance on at Brittany who didn't realize she was exposed to now." Shut up and go." The boy's older sister said hitting the boy in the back of the head with the back of her hand. Santana instantly took action and covered her wife up." Sorry babe." She whispered not covering her blonde sooner. Brittany was starting to come down from her attack.
"You did an amazing job Brittany you calmed yourself down without the help of medication." Doctor Jones congratulated. Brittany felt drained and just wanted her wife to hold her. She literally felt like she was dying she didn't understand why everyone was smiling. Yes it was over for them but would it really ever be over for her again? At that thought tears started to cloud her vision. Santana thanked the doctor and nurses, included Lindsay before they turned and left her to take care of her wife." Oh baby." Santana sighed as she slid beside Brittany on her bed and wrapped her arms around her wife." I am so proud of you." Brittany just hugged back tighter." I want these things to be gone forever." Brittany confessed into her wife's chest. The Latina nodded." I do too and they will be as soon as we get you into therapy. The doctor said you could probably go home in two days." Brittany's eyes widened at the sound of that. She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible." I can't wait." Santana giggled a little." That's my girl."
