"so, Mr. Mckinley….any pain now?" the young doctor asked, holding his pen above his chart.
"Ugh….just a little."
"Mhmp…and where?"
"My head and my ribs."
"Oh alright…we'll get you some pain meds and most likely a form to fill out….i think you'll be needing that surgery…no later than tonight."
"what are they going to…to do?" Erin jumped in and asked, seeing Ian's shell shocked face.
"Craniotomy…they'll have to open him up, fix the bleeding, and swelling…then we'll see where to go from there." Erin nodded, though Ian remained unmoving.
"Ca….can I have a minute with him please?" Erin asked and the doctor nodded, leaving and closing the door softly behind him with a , 'click.'
Erin sat on the edge of Ian's bed, grasping his hand, which she noted, was shaking. He stared down at her pants for minutes at a time before she couldn't handle the silence any longer. She lifted his head with her finger.
"Ian."
He pulled his head away from her.
"Zip?" she tried and he turned slowly, very slowly, toward her.
"Pip." He said quietly. "I'm sorry."
"for what?" she asked, rubbing his hair as she furrowed her eyebrows.
"For putting you through all this…..i don't want to leave you but I don't know what's going to happen i…"
"Shh….i told you….its Ok…I know its hard to accept…..but that's not up to us…its up to God….so we have to trust that…we love each other Ian Mckinley and I'm not leaving or giving you up that easily." She said fiercely and he nodded, resting his head back, though that only resulted in a headache.
"I love you Erin Ulmer….now and always."
"Now and always, Ian Mckinley." He smiled.
