At first, the nurse wouldn't respond to Adam. But then it was like a light bulb went off in her head. "Don't worry about him, hun. Hes OK." She then started to walk away.
"No. Thats not going to cut it. I almost died, along with my husband. The least you can do is at least bring him to me or something?" Adam replied to her with a hint of desperation. He didn't mean to, but it came out. The idea of not seeing Tommy after the horrible accident, to not touch him to see for himself that he was good was NOT going to happen. "If you don't do at least that for me, Im going to try to walk myself. And if that happens, I might fall over and hurt something else. I will blame it all on you and your unwillingness to help me out. Your choice. Just so you know, I have amazing lawyers." He didn't know where this was all coming from but Adam wasn't going to take it back. He meant every single thing he was saying. When the nurse realized this, she backed up a bit.
"Sorry about that, Mr. Mitchel. I will be right back. Don't worry."
When she left the room, He sunk back into the pillows behind him. That took way more out of him than it normally would. It was going to be weird not being able to go full speed ahead all the time now. In that short time that she was away, Adam felt himself drifting off to sleep. He kept trying to tell himself that he needed to stay awake. So that when Tommy came in he wouldn't be freaked out and think that Adam was in a coma or something. But he just couldn't keep his eyes open and drifted off into sleep.
When he heard the door opening, he barely had enough time to open his eyes until Tommy was right on top of him covering him in kisses. "Hmmmm...Hello to you too." Adam mumbled right before Tommy started talking. He brought his hand up and brushed the side of Tommys face as he spoke. "Hun, you took the words right out my mouth." He said quietly, not wanting to stop Tommy from talking or doing what he was doing. It felt amazing to know that Tommy was alright after what just happened. He then gently grabbed Tommys head with both of his hands and pulled him away from his neck to look him in the eyes. "Tommy Joe Mitchel, I love you so much and I don't know what I would have done if I would have lost you." He then pulled Tommy close to him and gave him a passionate kiss, which he never wanted to end.
But it did end. When the nurse came in and gave a little cough. Adam looked away from Tommy, not wanting to but he did, to look at her. "Im sorry but your time is up. I gave you as long as I could. But I found out some good news for the two of you. The doctor gave you the OK to go home already. He figures that you two have been healing fast and well enough that you will be released in about an hour. As long as you two promise to help each other out. But from what I can see, that won't be a problem." She said with a smile.
"Thank you so much!" Adam said with a smile. "And sorry about earlier..." He said with a sheepish grin. He would explain to Tommy later about what had happened. But now, He just wanted out of that hospital and back to the house. To spend time with his love.
That hour was the slowest hour of his life. Without Tommy in the room, it seemed to take an entire lifetime. But the hour did pass, and then Adam was sitting in a wheelchair. It was weird not being able to walk but he figured it was better than how he came into the hospital. He smiled at Tommy who was near him. Adam wouldn't let Tommy push him because he didn't want his husband to possibly hurt himself more by pushing around anyone. Monte was behind him, and that's who was going to get them home. Adam and Tommy both were a bit leery of getting back into a car but it was the only way home. Monte drove slow and carefully, something that Adam realized was not something he was used to doing. Once they got to their house, Adam looked at Monte. "Thanks, You have no idea how much this means to me, man." He then gave him a big hug. Getting out of the car was a bit hard but Adam managed it.
They were home. Finally home. It took some maneuvering with the crutches but they were home. And alone. Sitting down on the couch, Adam patted the spot next to him. "Hey you." He said, looking at Tommy. "Get your little ass over here." He then gave the blonde a little smirk. Between the near death experience and the high dose of pain meds he was on, Adam couldn't control himself. Which could turn out to be either very good or very bad. He wasn't sure which but he was going to see.
