Chapter 6
(A/N – In this chapter, a flash back will be italicized. As before, signing is bold, and spoken words are in "quotes".) (Also, special thanks to Muzic-iz-Life ! I love coming and seeing your reviews!) (Sorry for the short chapters. The next two are short, I'm super busy, and had to write these ones as soon as the idea hit me.)
I woke some time later, to Emmett holding his phone in front of my face. It took me a few moments to figure out that he wanted me to read the text.
Message From Toby K.
Daphne's up. Bay's in surgery. CU2 here asap.
Can I take a shower first? I smell like hospital and Denny's, I signed.
Emmett gave me a look, but nodded. I wiggled out front under his warm arm and grabbed a fresh change of clothes. I hadn't even noticed that I fell asleep in what I was wearing earlier that day until then. I touched my stomach, then went into the bathroom and ran a hot shower.
Once dried and dressed, I ran down into the livingroom, where Emmett was waiting. He dangled his motorcycle's keys in front of my face. I sighed but nodded. His bike was faster.
Drive slow, I signed.
Baby on board. I'm not stupid, he signed with a smile. His smile made me fall in love with him all over again. I pulled him in for a passionate kissed, then headed out the front door, leaving him to lock up.
I snapped the helmet on, then waited for him to help me onto the back of his bike. Normally that would have drove me crazy, but today, I just wanted him close by.
Once we were at the hospital, Emmett and I raced to the fourth floor, and were greeted by Toby and Wilke.
"She's awake," Toby said with a smile.
"What about Bay? How's surgery going?" I asked out loud, in case Wilke wanted to answer. I was facing Emmett, so he could read our lips. I was tired, and my hands were busy holding his tightly.
"They've stopped the internal bleeding and set the bones. They're almost done," Toby answered. We both nodded and walked into the room, to see a smiling Daphne wave at us.
Took you guys long enough, She signed the best she could with one useful hand.
Sorry, I replied.
She smiled brightly.
How are you feeling? Emmett asked her.
Sore. But otherwise ok. I'm glad I wore my seatbelt. She replied.
I hugged her gently, and smiled at my best friend, who gave me a soft squeeze before signing They're letting me go home tomorrow around noon if everything looks good.
Good. We'll go celebrate with some veggie burgers and fries. I signed with a huge smile. I was relieved.
"Kanzii, the doctor just told us that Bay's out of surgery, they're bringing her back in a few minutes, Regina signed and said at the same time.
