"Oh thank God." Lauren breathed out, nearly dropping the phone. "Hi." She smiled, so glad to be able to see those blue eyes that she adored so much again.

"Hey, sweetie, I'll call you right back, okay?" Lauren promised before leaning over and smiling until her face hurt. She felt a giant weight lifted off her chest, no longer feeling like she was suffocating.

"What happened?" Ian rasped, his voice nearly gone.

"I thought that maybe you could tell me." Lauren asked, nearly forcing a smile now as she began to imagine may have happened in that bank.

"Where's Jeremy? Jeremy carried me out..." He sputtered, putting back on the mask he'd foolishly taken off.

"I don't know anything about Jeremy... I was too worried about you." She admitted as he reached over to take her hand.

"Can you call Declan now?" Ian pulled the mask off again and Lauren pushed it back on, shushing him.

"I will after the doctor checks up on you." Lauren told him as she asked Liam to go find someone. The doctor came in and ran some tests and was checking to make sure that Ian was fine. Lauren also took his oppurtunity to ask about Jeremy. Her worries about him had seemingly receeded once she'd found out that he'd saved her fiancé's life.

"Jeremy Wolfe had ID on him and is awake if either of you want to speak to him." Lauren met eyes with Ian and knew he was in no condition to get out of bed just yet so she leaned in to kiss his forehead before she let the doctor lead her to Jeremy's room.

"Lauren?" He asked, seemingly surprised to see her.

"Hi," She started awkwardly, not knowing exactly what she came here to ask. Jeremy was looking at her curiously, wondering why she was here. There was a long moment of silence where they simply looked at each other, neither willing to start a conversation.

"Ian told me that you carried him out?" Lauren finally got out, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, after the explosion he was the closest to me." He voiced seemed almost dreamlike, like he was rewatching the scene behind his eyelids as he explained. "And I know he had to get out, he's got you and Declan and the baby to take care of after all." She couldn't help but smile at that, noticing that Jeremy was smiling too.

"I don't think I can thank you enough." Lauren told him, and it was the truth. He was the reason had Ian hadn't died in that explosion.

"Is Ian awake?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah, hopefully he'll be able to go home in a few days."

Jeremy frowned at her.

"But isn't your wedding tomorrow?" Lauren almost laughed, that was something she'd been trying to forget. She was so ready to be married, she'd almost lost the love of life today and she didn't think she would have been able to live with herself if she had. She just wanted to be married to him, to be able to call him her husband. She found herself playing with the ring hanging around her neck before she sighed and told Jeremy that the wedding would have to be postponed. He still seemed a little bummed about it and she wondered why before she was walking back to Ian's room. Maybe he and Ian had grown closer? Or maybe this recent brush with death had an impact of this sudden interest with their wedding? She had no idea as she saw Ian sitting up in his bed, eating Jell-O.

"Hey." He said as he put the Jell-O on the bedside table. She sat down beside him before he said, "Come sit up here with me, love." He asked and she sighed playfully before she found herself snuggling up to his side and pulling the blankets around her as well. He pulled her close to him, letting his chin rest atop her head before reminding her that she never called Declan back. She audiably cursed before pulling out her phone and putting it on speaker.

"Mama?" Declan answered. He should have not still been up the mother in quietly commented.

"Hello, love." Ian said, his voice still sounding weak. She was about to tell him to not strain his voice but refrained.

"Daddy!" He exclaimed excitedly. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, love. And you shouldn't be up so late, so I'll let you get to sleep. I'll get Lauren to come pick you up to see me tomorrow." Lauren was about to comment that she'd planned on going home tonight but as Ian's arm snaked around her waist tightly she decided to not.

"Goodnight!" Declan said, yawning.

"We love you, sweetheart." Lauren said before they hung up. "So, I'm staying here, with you tonight, I am?" Lauren asked, an amused tone in her voice.

"Yes, you didn't honestly think I'd let you out of my sight, did you?" He said as she leaned her head into his neck. He straighted the bed out before he turned to face her, their foreheads touching.

"What about the wedding?" Lauren asked, sadness creeping in at the corners of her voice.

"Can't we still have it tomorrow, love?" Ian asked, as if bewildered by her question. She let out a quiet laugh.

"Ian, you're hurt. You need to stay in the hospital at least a few more days." She explained, solemly, the fact that he didn't care about his condition because of their wedding day suddenly making her tear up.

"Why can't we get married in the hospital? You don't have many guests, it wouldn't be hard." The dream she had of her wedding was certainly not in a hospital, to be honest. But, she didn't think that mattered, so long as Ian and Declan were there, it would be perfect in every way.

"Oh, Ian..." Lauren began, not knowing exactly what to say before he took her hand in his, kissing along her knuckles before whispering,

"Just say yes, love."
