Chapter 2

The waiting.

A bit different this time I thought I would write it like this as there was too much to describe. Enjoy reading!

É.

Hours passed and still they waited until the doors opened. Sheldon jumped up and ran to the door, eager to see who it was. It wasn't Leonard but the doctor who took him away." Dr Cooper?" he asked "Yes, is he okay?!" Sheldon hurried out of the doctor, "Well not really, the impact of the punch has broken the skull and we think he may have slight brain damage." Explained the doctor " But how!" exclaimed Sheldon "All those childhood beat- up had to into affect when this last punch was given." Said the doctor. "We have to keep him here overnight and possibly for a couple of weeks just to make sure he's okay.

There was a long pause until Amy spoke "Can we see Leonard?"

"Sorry No, not until 8 am tomorrow." The doctor informed her

"No! But I need to see him now!" protested Sheldon.

As Sheldon was busy ranting at the doctor, Leonard lay unconscious in a hospital bed. The sight of him was ghastly; the cut on the side of his head had swollen up and as he was being pushed through to the x-ray the camera had hit his eye by accident and that too was bruised and all black and blue. His arm had a drip attached to it was he was connected to a heart monitor. His face had a pained trace to it. 'Ugggghhhh, what happened,' he thought, " oh Yeah Sheldon's getting married?!'

'Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep.' The heart monitor had stopped working, Leonard was close to death. Nurses and Doctors rushed to Leonard's bedside " Hurry! Get the defibrillator!" "ONE, TWO, THREE, CLEAR!"

This carries on throughout the night…

Back in the waiting room the doctor had just told Sheldon and Amy that a problem had occurred "Dr Hofstadter's heart has stopped we have a team to try get it going again. Therefore he really must stay in hospital."

" Oh god, how could one punch do so much damage!? Sheldon basically screamed at the doctor. The doctor was getting very irritated by this man and calmly told him " Its where you punched him the temple area is extremely delicate if any bit of the area id fractured it could have dramatic outcomes like this." " But.." began Sheldon but he was cut off by the doctor " My advice to you Dr Cooper is to go home, message his parents and just wait for a phone call.

Sheldon started to cry * this was a very rare case

"Don't cry Sheldon, Leonard will be okay" said Amy being as gentle as she could, she had experienced this many times and one slightest thing could make it all so much worse. "Come on, lets go home" she suggested lightly

But that was too much for Sheldon; he didn't want to leave his best friend as he did this to him, He cried harder and louder as Amy led him out of the hospital. "Amy?" sniffled Sheldon "can you stay with me until Leonard gets back?" "Of course, Sheldon" said Amy she had a gleeful expression on her face but quickly changed it to a look of sorrow when Sheldon looked at her.

And for once Sheldon held Amy's hand and kissed her on the cheek.

Off they went home together to wait.

Hope you like that; keep watch for the next chapter The Phone Call.
