It has been 4 hours since Mia has been brought in and Gadreel is tired.
Gadreel paces in Mia's hospital room, looking at the young woman that stole his heart. The others went to see her as well; Castiel and Dean were taking it hard, since Mia was the one who practically kicked them towards each other. She was so involved in everyone's lives that it was like a hole that could never be filled.
He hated seeing her like this, she's so…still.
Mia was energy personified; she skipped and fluttered whenever she went. She made noise even when she was quiet. It was unsettling seeing her in one place.
Her skin was pale and her hair stuck to her forehead due to the fever. The beeping of her monitor was strong, but she was still so weak. Gadreel felt a lump in his throat as he eyes burned with tears.
He needs her, he needs Mia in his life. She brought color to his grey world; how is he going to live without her?
He felt someone tap his shoulder and he swerved around, seeing it was Richard.
"Oh sorry, Mr. Song, I was woolgathering."
"I thought I told you to call me Richard." He said with a chuckle, "I brought coffee."
Gadreel nodded as he sat next to him and took a cup of coffee.
"Isn't Darius staying here?"
"No, I sent him home. You and I are already here, and he's tired."
Gadreel nodded and sniffed, his eyes filing with tears. Richard noticed and frowned.
"Are you alright?"
"I…was just thinking what it would be like if I didn't have Mia in my life and I hate it. I don't want to imagine that."
Richard nodded gravely and looked at his daughter.
"I know what you mean." He said, "You know, when she visited me when she was little, the whole custody thing with her aunt. I didn't have a lot of money. Putting that you used to be a porn star on your resume is not really work ethical.
Gadreel chuckled to himself while Richard smirked.
"So, money was low and I wanted to at least buy her a toy. So we went to the store and she wanted this rabbit. But when I went to pay for it, it turns out I didn't have enough. I remember I was going to beg the cashier to give me a discount, but all Mia did was say it was ok, that didn't need it. I couldn't get it and she said it was ok."
Richard then let out a sob as he scrubbed his face.
"She was fucking nine years old and she somehow knew! She shouldn't have to do that." he sobbed, "God, she is one of the most precious things in my life, I love her so much! I can't lose her!"
Gadreel nodded slowly as he pat the man's back in comfort, then looking back at the unconscious Mia.
"Oh, Mia, you so important to us." He thought, "Please…don't leave."
Gadreel woke up with a start in his chair, groaning at the crick in his neck. After Richard left, he settled in the chair and watched Mia for the rest of the night, though he fell asleep from deep exhaustion. As he got up, he immediately noticed the bed was empty.
It was empty.
Mia was gone.
And he didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.
Gadreel felt tears run down his face, event hough all he wanted to scream and lose all control. He felt lightheaded and numb, like he was underwater. He didn't register he was falling to his knees or that someone was calling his name. he didn't notice until someone shook his shoulder.
"Gadreel, Gadreel."
He looked to the side and saw it was Castiel.
"C-C-Castiel…" he sobbed, "M-Mia…"
"Gadreel, she is fine. She was getting better and they moved her to another room. She's going to be alright."
Gadreel blinked at his cousin and then let out a shuddering sob as he clutched Castiels arms, relief and gratefulness pouring out. Only one thought was constant in his mind.
Mia is ok, Mia is alive.
Alive.
AN: Here we have Gadreel and Richard having a heart to heart. Gadreel sees how important Mia is in their lives, including his own.
Now, I don't think an actual hospital will take the patient out of the room without waking the person in the room, but for the sake of the story, let's say that they did that.
Next is Gadreel and Mia talking.
Comments are loved! I don't own SPN, just Mia and Richard!
