Here I aaaaam, I'm back with a new chapter and I think I actually like it for once ;) Hope you enjoy it!
When Victor walked in, Allison saw the overwhelming sadness in his eyes. She imagined it being even harder for him. After losing his wife way too early, now seeing his daughter on the edge of death must be very hard.
"How is she?"
"She's fine, she just needs to wake up," she answered not even thinking about the option of her girlfriend not waking up. The thought alone would be too hard for her to take.
"Do you want me to leave the room for a while, so you can be alone with her?"
"No, it's fine really," he answered immediately. "I just wanted to see if everything's alright and if you needed anything."
"No, I'm okay but thanks for asking," she said, forcing a smile onto her exhausted face. "You sure, you don't want to talk to her?"
"Yeah, I am. I'm not really into talking, not even knowing if the person can hear me. I'll just leave you two alone again," he said turning around and leaving the room quickly.
Cameron understood it though. He watched his wife die; he couldn't watch his daughter…
The sun was already setting outside and Allison stared outside the window, spacing out for a while. Then she turned her attention back to her girlfriend in the hospital bed.
"Hun, you need to wake up, please," she begged, her hand never letting go of Remy's soft hand. She squeezed it a little and ran her thumb over her knuckles, her eyes watering again.
"He's right actually. I'm talking and talking about everything and nothing and I don't even know if you hear any of it."
"I do," she heard a quiet voice next to her. Remy was amazed, yes almost shocked that her voice worked and there were actually sounds coming out of her mouth. Immediately Allison's head shot up to look at the brunette lying on the bed in front of her. Her eyes were closed. Could she have imagined it?
"Babe?"
"Yeah," came the silent reply. It was very silent but she still heard her.
"Oh my god, Remy," she cried out, relieve washing over her. "You're awake. Can you open your eyes for me hun? Can you do that?"
Slowly the brunette's eyes fluttered open a little bit to look at the blonde sitting next to her, trying to adjust to the bright light of the hospital room. She opened her mouth to speak again but the ER-doctor beat her to it.
"No, don't say anything, it's okay. I'm so glad you're awake. God, I don't know what I would have done without you babe," she said, touching every inch of her girlfriend's face, tears of joy running down her own. She caressed her cheek lightly and ran her hand through her auburn hair. Slowly she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss onto Remy's lips, which brought a smile onto the brunette's face.
"How long was I gone?"
Allison gulped and looked at her a bit afraid of answering her. "Two weeks and 3 days," she said carefully.
A look of horror showed on Remy's face and the smile she wore only seconds before faded away. "There were some complications while they were operating, that's probably why," she told the brunette.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I'm really sorry I put you through this, Ally."
"It's okay," she said, squeezing her hand a little. "I'll call a nurse and tell the others that you're awake okay? I won't be long," the blonde said in a reassuring tone, seeing Thirteen's face fall a little.
She turned around and when she was about to loosen her grip on Remy's hand, the brunette held her back.
"Wait," she heard her say.
She looked back at her girlfriend questioningly.
"I want to show you something," she said, a little smile displaying on her face again
"Help me with this," she said pointing at her blanket. Not sure what this was all about, she took the blanket off of her girlfriend. She looked back at her, confusion all over her face. What was she supposed to see?
"Wait and see," Remy said, motioning to her legs.
Allison turned her head and watched with amazement as Remy's toes moved. She looked back at her, her eyes watering again as she hugged her.
"Oh my god," she said full of joy. "You can move your legs again."
"Well it's only my toes but yeah," Remy said a big smile plastered to her face. "Now go tell the news to everyone. The sooner you go, the sooner you're back."
"Yes, I'll be right back," the blonde said, kissing her again, more passionate this time and lingering on the brunettes lips a little longer than before. She returned the blanket and caressed her girlfriend's cheeks once more before leaving the room.
About two minutes after Cameron left the room a nurse came in to check on her. She checked her vitals and wrote a few things down on the chart in her hand. She looked up at Remy and smiled at her.
"I see you're doing better Dr. Hadley. I'm sure everyone will be relieved to hear you're awake," she said friendly. "I'll just check on your legs okay?"
"Yeah sure," Remy answered, returning her smile.
The nurse took away the blanket that Cameron had placed over her girlfriend again earlier and pinched into Remy's left leg.
"Can you feel that?"
"Yeah a little."
"Well, I don't think I'll have to tell you that that's perfectly normal, do I?"
"No, it's okay," Remy said, smiling at her again.
"Well, alright. You'll have to be here for about another week and then we'll sign you up for rehabilitation. I'll check on you again tomorrow morning. See you then Dr. Hadley," she said before leaving the room.
"Yeah, see you," the brunette answered, smiling at the nurse once more.
Before Remy could think of anything the door burst open and her father came storming into the room.
"You're awake," he almost screamed, hugging her tightly.
"Yes I am Dad, but actually I won't be awake for long if I can't breathe," she said in a joking manner.
"Still the old Remy I see," he smiled lovingly at his daughter.
"What did you think Victor? Don't tell me you actually hoped she would change," they heard Allison laughing from the door, a smiling Dr. Cuddy standing next to her.
The Dean of Medicine entered the room to show that House was also standing beside her.
"You know you're stupid Thirty-One right?" Well, House was still House after all.
"Of course, that didn't change either. But that's why I'm perfect for your team," she said a big smile plastered to her face.
"Yeah right, I give you four weeks to come back to work. One day more and I'll fire you," he said turning around and leaving the room.
"We'll see about that," Cuddy said shaking her head at House's statement. "I'm glad you're okay Dr. Hadley. Take as much time as you need to come back. You're always welcome," she said, leaving the room as well.
Victor leaned down and kissed his daughter on the forehead before giving the two women some time alone. "I love you sweety."
"I love you too dad."
Cameron went to Remy again and sat down on her bed, taking her hand again and interlacing their fingers. The brunette motioned for her to lie down next to her and Allison did without saying a word, looking into her girlfriend's green sparkling eyes. Remy lay on her back with their still interlaced fingers on her stomach. She took Allison's hand and kissed the back of it.
"Everything's going to be okay now, babe."
So this is what you've all been waiting for. Next chapter will be the last one actually and hopefully it won't take me to long to update but I have two weeks of exams now, so I don't know when I'll be able to. But I hope you liked this one. Just tell me if you liked it ;)
