Annie starred at Simone's doctor raptly not wanting to miss anything, be it a small facial expression or small change in tone. She wanted to know what was happening to her baby.
"There's been little change since the last time I told you his prognosis, he's slightly better but still he's not out of the woods yet. I'm sorry." she didn't like his detached tone it was her baby!
"This is Simon's nurse Amelia she can take you to see him now." Annie heart leaped into her throat, see him she was going to be able to see him now. Annie was so caught up that she didn't even register the doctor leaving.
"You'll only be able to see him for a little while and he's not conscious yet." the nurse said apologetically. Annie nodded the nurse started moving and Annie followed her through doorways and halls, so much so she wasn't sure when the time came she wasn't sure she would be able to find her way back, but she didn't really care she was going to see Simon.
A few more minutes and they were there. Annies heart which had been in her throat, dropped to her stomach when she saw the paleness of her sons skin. How her sons vibrancy that usually shone even in sleep wasn't there, he looked weak, sickly. The wound itself wasn't visible, it was hidden underneath a hospital gown, for that she was grateful. As it was she was having a hard time reconciling the image she was seeing with her son. She fall into a chair by her son's bedside and immediately grabbed onto his hand. Some part of her mind heard the nurse say.
"You can't stay long he's still very ill, I'll be back in a little while for you." but most of her was starring at her son. She wanted him to wake up to tell her this was all some elaborate joke, that he was fine and that he was sorry for scaring her. Maybe he wasn't because he thought she would be mad.
"It's okay I won't be mad." she whispered. But even as she said it she knew it wasn't the case the pallor of his skin said that loud and clear.
"I need you to be strong Simon." she said louder. "I need you to fight and survive okay?" she fought the tears that wanted to show, but after a moment she knew she couldn't and let them fall down her face. "Please Simon I can't lose you, I need you to fight."
"Fight." Annie looked over at Eric ,who also had tears in his eyes. She grabbed his hand with her other hand, creating a chain. She willed her strength to Simon, her hopes and her dreams and she hoped it would keep him alive. There was a knock on the door to room.
"Time's up, he need his rest."
"Fight." she said one last time, then reluctantly let go of Simons hand and stood with Eric's hand still clutched in her's. She got one last look of Simon to hold onto until she could see him again and then left the room with Eric.
