About: Ashes To Ashes

There had been no wedding. It was the second time that they had had to postpone and Gene felt as though this was fates way of saying that they would never tie the knot. But as he sat by her hospital bed, Gene Hunt vowed that he would overcome all obstacles, all illnesses and all international disasters that got in his way of marrying this beautiful woman. That beautiful woman was lay in a hospital bed, currently asleep due to the amount of pain killers that the doctors and nurses had pumped into her body. The paramedics had assumed that Gene had zoned out in shock as they drove to the hospital in the ambulance, they had assumed that he wasn't listening to them talk about how the knife must have been twisted and torn violently from her body as it was retracted. Right now he couldn't hear her voice or her laughter, just the unbelievable scream that she had made when hospital staff had prodded and poked at her injury upon her arrival in A&E. At least now she was peaceful and resting, she hadn't been awake much in the last 48 hours.

"Gene?"

He looked down, her eyes were open and her pale face was looking right at him.

"Hello love"

She groaned and tried to sit up a little, but winced in pain and stayed lay down "I want to go home, want to see Sam"

"Sam's being looked after, don't worry" he sighed "I don't know when you'll be allowed home yet, stop trying to sit up though, one of the nurses told me that you reopened the wound last night trying to get out of bed"

"I needed to go to the toilet..."

"Well you should have called one of the nurses and..."

"I'm not a bloody invalid!"

A few people on the ward glanced over at her. Gene hated seeing her so pissed off, going out of her mind staring at the same four walls. And it had only been two days.

"We missed the wedding" she spoke through gritted teeth.

Gene took hold of her hand and squeezed it gently "Ray went and spoke to the people at the registry office, told them about our situation and they've agreed to slot us in in a few weeks time, him and Chris will get onto the photographer and what not and see if we can get them to do the same"

"My wedding day Gene, I've been looking forward to it for months...and some bastard ruined everything" her words were cold and full of malice "I swear if I ever lay eyes on him I'll kill him"

"Bolls keep your voice down" he instructed "Look, I hate you being in here as much as you do, but you're just going to have to suck it up for the meantime"

Sighing she lay back fully and stared at the ceiling "I'm going to go mad..."

"You already are love" he chuckled, kissing her cheek softly before whispering "How about I pull the curtain round and you let the Gene Genie make you better?"

She hit him playful "Gene Hunt, you are terrible!"

He smirked cheekily and stood up a little so that he could places kisses on her jaw and neck, chuckling to himself as her laughter proved as a sign that he was cheering her up.

"Gene cut it out!" she giggled, stroking his cheek when he sat back down "Thank you"

"What for?" he asked, a cheeky smile on his face and his hair a little ruffled.

"For making she smile" she spoke, kissing his softly "God I love you"

"And I love you too, you gave me a right scare...I thought that I was going to lose you"

She shook her head "I'm never going to leave you Gene, never...I need you too much"

Gene stayed a few minutes longer before deciding to go, to let her rest. He placed a few kissed on her forehead and gave her a gentle hug, promising to give Sam a kiss from her.
