Ch6: Realization

Nick slowly opens his eyes and all he can hear is the beeping of his machines. His leg feels tingly and sore but he can feel it and it's still there. He feels like he's been hit by a train and he's exhausted. He looks down at his leg and realizes he's in a cast from his right hip just ending below his knee. He looks around and realizes he's at the hospital. He turns and sees DB standing by the foot of his bed.

"How are you feeling?" DB asks moving closer to Nick.

"Why is there a cast on my leg?" Nick asked trying to wet his dry mouth.

"The bullet hit your femur bone and broke it..."

"I have a broken leg." Nick said sitting up seeing the cast in full view. How was he going to get around? The cast was green and covered his one hip to below his bent knee. Nick knocked on his cast and fall back as the pain medicine eased his overwhelming nerves for what the following days would bring.

"How do you feel?" Db asked seeing Nick get overwhelmed.

"I'll live... How's Mitch?"

"He's alright. His vest caught the majority of the shot. He's just got a nasty flesh wound."

"What about Morgan?" Nick asks moving his head to get comfortable on the pillow.

"She's a little shook up but besides that she's alright."

"She did well."

"She said you were the mastermind behind it." DB said Nick laughed.

"Hardly," Nick says pointing to his leg. DB smiles. "What about Finn?" Nick says as Finn knocks on the door.

"I'm going to let you guys talk." DB says leaving.

"Green suits you nice…" She says smiling referring to his new cast.

"I thought it was nice." Nick kids knocking again on his cast.

"How do you feel?" Finn asks sitting on the bed near him.

"Well, I have a broken wrist, five stitches in my head, and now a broken leg. I'm alright, you?" his accent thick.

"I'm fine." she chuckled, she had a bruise on her cheek but besides that she looked alright.

"What about Allbeth? How'd you know Allbeth?" Nick asked his eyes getting sleepy.

"She survived and has been committed to a mental hospital. Back in Seattle she got angry with her boyfriend and stopped taking her meds and skinned there cat and mailed it to the assembly man." Finn said, Nick's face twisted in disgust. "But when she's on her meds she's good. But when she gets mad and decides to go off her meds that's when stuff like this happens."

"That's a shame." Nick said.

"She was crazy then and is now."

"Thanks Finn." Nick said looking at Finn. His hair was ruffled, and eyes were bleary with sleepiness.

"No, thank you, Nick." Finn said looking down almost ashamed.

"Why are you thanking me? If you didn't do what you did we couldn't even be having this conversation."

"Yeah, well if you didn't do what you did we'd all probably be dead... You know what I'm talking..."

"Morgan took the shot not me."

"I know that that bullet should've hit me."

"But it didn't..."

"It should've."

"But it didn't..." Nick said again stubborn.

"Why did you do that?"

"I don't know. I just did..." Nick said shrugging his shoulder.

"Thank you," Finn said, Nick smiled and shook his head. "Take the complement Stokes." she says he laughs, but she still looks like she's in a funk.

"Don't hang your head. No one got really hurt." Nick says putting his hand on her thigh. She points to his leg.

"Nick, this could've been really bad."

"But it wasn't, and trusts me I've had worst. Without quick thinking it would have been worst." he said she still didn't look convinced. "I'll be back at work to bug you soon enough." he says smiling his eyes still sleepy, she laughs. "We good?" he asks, she smiles putting her hand up for a high five. Nick laughs.

"Awkward high five?" she says Nick smiles.

"Yeah, definitely." Nick said quietly, he gave her a soft high five with his casted hand. "Want to be the first one to sign my cast?" Nick's machine beeps, and Nick looked at the machine with a sleepy expression on his face.

"Enjoy your nap." She says watching Nick get sleepy.

"I will." Nick says quietly. "Wait Finn," he says just as she gets to the door. "That man who hurt you… he really messed up. You're a good person… he should've never raised his hand to you. He should hope I never meet him." Nick said drifting off to sleep.

Finn feels a good anxiety come over her. She has no brothers and the only other person to have threatened her ex like that was his own brother, whom Finn is still friends with, and DB but his was more an empty threat. However when Nick said the words she knew he was serious even if it was just the pain meds talking. Finn joins the rest of the team. Finn crosses her arm as she stands next to Morgan. Morgan was still a little shook up which was understandable.

"How did you guys go from spitting and swearing at each other to laughing and high fiving?" Greg said confused, but everyone was thinking it.

"I guess sometimes you have to through something with someone to trust them. Nick has taught me to keep hope and keep an open mind. I know it may sound cheesy or like a cliché but I've learned a lot these last couple days, and I apologize for the way I've been acting. This is a well oiled experienced and I'm glad to be a part of it." Finn said her eyes getting classy but she didn't cry. DB smiles at Finn, he knew Vegas would be good for her.

Please Review! Check out the sequel, what if Finn's ex were to come back into the picture. Will Nick live up to his threat? or was it was an empty threat and what is in store for the two now. How do you lie Nick and Finn together is it something worth pursuing or are they better off as friends. I need feedback please.
