Our Lucy

"Lee!" Tim grabbed his shoulders. "The doctor says we are to wait here."

"What happened?"

"I was talking and the machine beeped and she began twitching. Mum called the doctors and here we are." Tim explained. He still wasn't sure whether to trust Lee not to barge into the hospital room. Geoffrey hugged Wendy as Tim explained what was happening.

"Lee." Daisy spoke calmly. "Lucy's always been very fit and healthy. That has to help her now."

"Yes." Wendy nodded. "My girl is tougher than she looks." The hospital room door opened to allow a young nurse to leave the room. Lee swallowed hard, frightened at the way the young blonde ignored his look. The doctor appeared behind him.

"Lee? Shall we sit in the family room?"

"What happened?" Lee turned to face the older man.

"Let the nurses settle her down." The doctor smiled.

"Not dead?"

"No. She's alive."

"Oh thank God." Geoffrey breathed the words and hugged Wendy tighter.

"Can I see her? Can't we go in?" Lee was desperate to get into the room behind the doctor.

"Just give the nurses five minutes, ok? Come and sit down. I'll explain what's happened." The doctor ushered them into a small sitting room just along from the room where nurses were working on Lucy.

"Tim, Wendy what you witnessed was a seizure. We've been slowly weaning her off her sedation." The doctor began. Lee swore.

"She had a fit?" Daisy turned to Wendy. "She doesn't have them. I'd know."

"I think Lee and her parents would too. We've got Lucy's medical notes from the last few years. There's nothing to suggest any ill health. All we found was notes from an operation as a teenager."

"Tonsils. She had her tonsils out when she was thirteen." Geoffrey stated.

"I remember that." Tim said. "She was spoiled. Jelly and ice cream all the time."

"Tim, she was a kid. You were eighteen. She's just had part of her throat ripped out." Lee snapped.

"You always defend her." Tim smiled good naturedly.

"Anyway, we've kept Lucy in a medical coma. Just to rest her brain and body overnight. The nurses are taking her for another Brain Scan. Then you can sit with her. Then I suggest you go home. Sleep. Or try to. We can call you if anything changes."

"I'll stay, if that's ok." Lee looked at the doctor who nodded. "Tim, you should go home. Get some rest. You all should. The doctor's right."

"Good point, Lee. Come on. She's in very good hands." Geoffrey got to his feet, "We are no good to Lucy if we are dead on our feet."

"But then Lee will be on his own." Daisy sighed.

"No I won't. I'll be with Lucy." Geoffrey smiled slightly as Wendy hugged Lee before letting her husband lead her away. Minutes that seemed like hours as Lee sat staring into the space the older woman had occupied. He was exhausted but he knew there was no way he could sleep.

"Lee? Are you Lucy's fiancé? Lucy Adams?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"She's back from the scanner. You can go back in. If you want to." The nurse was far too bubbly for his liking. He nodded before stepping up to follow her.

Lucy lay silent in the bed. More machines and wires covered her small body than he ever thought possible.

"Blimey Lucy." He sat down, taking her hand in his. "All this. Bit of a drama. If you didn't want to marry me, you only had to jilt me at the alter. There's no need for all this." He yawned as he looked at her. "Mind you, this way you get your beauty sleep. Everyone else has gone home." Lucy slept on. "Warm in ere, in it? Mind you, you've just slept the entire time. If that were me, you'd have something to say." He rested his head on the side of the bed as his eyes fluttered closed.
