Chapter Ten

Both Dr. Kinney and Dr. Novotny came to see Jack and Ennis before they left the hospital. It had been three days since Ennis woke up and he was now anxious to get back home so he and Jack could start planning their life together.

"Dr. Kinney, you said to me that you understood what I was goin' through. I got the feelin' that you knew how I felt. Can you tell us what happened?"

"Sure, it happened 4 years ago. I was being stubborn as usual and Michael tried to make me see that we were meant to be together but I didn't want to listen. I was too scared of what others would think, especially the other doctors. To make a long story short, Michael and I had a huge fight and he left angry. He jumped in his car and drove as fast and as far away from me as he could get. He was drivin' down the highway when this truck came outta no where. He swerved, lost control and ended up hittin' a tree." Dr. Kinney had ta stop. The memory was still too painful.

Dr. Novotny continued.

"I was almost dead when they found me. I was unconscious, bleedin' from everywhere. It was so bad that they couldn't even tell what was wrong at first. I spent 3 months in a coma and when I came to I couldn't remember a thing. I didn't even recognize Brain."

"It's sad that I had to almost loose him to realize just how much he meant to me. It took over a year for him to regain his memory."

"I remembered all my medical training but I don't remember what happened that night. How I hit the tree or what we were even fightin' about."

"It was then that I realized just how much Michael meant to me. I couldn't stand the thought of losin' him. So I decided that I didn't care what others thought anymore. I loved him and that was all that mattered. We have been together ever since. I saw the way you looked at Ennis and it was like lookin' in the mirror."

"How do people treat you?" Ennis asked. He was glad that he had met someone who understood what he was feelin'.

"Most don't even know and those who do treat us no different. We are still the same people we have always been. Why should it matter that we are in love? People fall in love every day why should it be any different for us?" Michael wanted to know what Ennis was thinkin'. He saw Brian when he looked at him. Brain had acted the same way when he first told him he loved him.

"I don't know." And that was the truth. For the first time Ennis thought about it and he could see Michael's point of view. He realized that he had nothin' to be a shamed of. He loved Jack with all his heart and after his visit with the spirits he knew that what he was feelin' was ok.

"When you're feelin' better why don't the two of you come and visit us at our little place just outside of town?" Brian asked.

"That sounds great. It'll be nice to spend some time away from everything." Jack said.

"Ok here is our number call us and we'll make plans. In the meantime Ennis, rest and take care of yourself." Brian said.

"Thanks for everythin'." Ennis said as he got up and sat in the wheelchair. It was hospital rules that the patients be taken out in wheelchairs.

Once in the truck Jack said to Ennis "I think we should stay at the cabin fer a few days until yer a little stronger."

"Damn it Jack! I ain't no weaklin' but I would like ta stay fer a few days, I think we deserve a little time ta ourselves."

"I agree, lets take a couplea days ta relax and make plans."

"What kinda plans?" Ennis asked.

"Like where we're gonna live." Jack looked at him and smiled. Jack thought is heart was goin' to burst. He never thought he could love someone so much. He really had to thank God for givin' him Ennis.

"That sounds good. Jack I'm sorry fer everythin' I shouldn't have tried to fight us. I was miserable without ya and I don't ever want ta feel like that again." Without a warning Ennis leaned over and gave Jack a big kiss smack on the lips.

"Ennis, what if someone saw?" Jack asked in shock.

"So what if they did? I was only kissin' the person I love." Ennis leaned back in his seat and smiled.

Jack started the truck up and headed towards the cabin. Once there Jack turned to Ennis and asked "What happened when ya were asleep?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told ya."

"Try me."

"Ya know I think I'll keep it to myself fer now. Maybe someday I'll tell ya. Thanks fer not givin' up on me. I heard ya and Junior talkin' ta me."

Jack's eyes started to water.

"I wasn't sure if ya could or not but that wasn't gonna stop me. I prayed like I never prayed before. I wasn't gonna lose ya." The tears were fallin' now but Jack didn't care.

"I love you." It was simple and it was the truth. Ennis didn't even notice the tears fallin' down his own cheek.

"I love you too, cowboy."

They just sat there in the truck holdin' each other for awhile, glad that they had each other and enjoying being in love.

It was then Ennis decided he wasn't gonna worry about what others thought but instead spend every minute lovin' Jack because after all you never know what tomorrow will bring.
