Gillian walked into the hospital with Ben. He grabed the nearest nurse and asked, "We are looking for Cal Lightman."

"Oh right down the hall and the third door on the left." She said, pointing down the hall. They quickly walked and then Ben stopped Gillian.

"Ben!" She said, trying to push past.

"Wait." He said, keeping his arm in front of her.

She sighed and looked at him, "What?"

"You could have died out there." He said firmly.

"Well I didn;t and I would like to see Cal."

"Thank you Gillian."

"Huh?"

"Thank you for not listening to me. It saved Cal's life. But if it had gone wrong... he could have shot you and he would never been able to live with himself knowing that that had happened."

"I don't care... none of that happened and I don't want to think about that." She whispered.

Ben bit his lip and sighed, "You saved his life. He had his finger on the trigger. And you risked your life by attacking him." He chuckled and gave her a small hug.

She stared at him and he nodded.

"Alright... go." He laughed and slipped in behind her.

They found Cal sitting on the big table, just his boxers and his white button up shirt on. A doctor was digging around at Cal's leg and Cal was constantly cussing, hoping it would ease the pain. "Holy SHIT! Are you TRYING to make it hurt?" Cal yelled at him once. He clenched the table and took several deep breaths. "Wanna remind me why I couldn't get a numb thing or sedative or whatever?" He yelled at the doctor.

"Please calm down... this was the only way without it being too late... maybe if you hadn't shot yourself..." He got a quick slap from Cal and chuckled, "I guess I deserved that... but should you really be smacking the man that has tweezers in you leg?"

"Maybe you should just shut the hell up." Cal suggested.

"Nahh... That is no fun at all. Alright. I am going to pull it out on the count of three." Cal nodded and braced himself. The doctor stared at him and nodded as he counted. "One... TWO!" He yanked the bullet out and Cal yelled, throwing his head back.

"What the hell happened to bloody three?" He yelled madly at the doctor.

"Anticipation is bad." He mumbled, walking over to his desk. "Let's sew this puppy up. Any color you prefer?" Cal stared at the colors madly and then looked at the doctor blankly.

"Black it is." He soon went to work at sewing Cal's skin back together.

Cal now began to looking around the room and his eyes landed on Gillian. "I'm sorry love..." He whispered.

"No it's okay... I got mad... I guess we each had our ways of dealing with it." She smiled and walked up to him.

"No... I fucking shot myself." He said.

"Cal, please..."

"No... you should be pissed at me right now for scaring you!"

The doctor glanced between them as he put the thread and needle through and through. He set it all down and grabbed some gauze.

Gillian looked at the doctor who was now wrapping Cal's leg and smiled, "Thank you." She said when the doctor stood up.

"I will, uh, give you some time." He smiled and left the room, leaving them alone.

Cal looked at Gillian and she smiled.

"Maybe this is just some kind of test. Maybe you won't actually die. Maybe Jack was bluffing. Maybe he will be caught and put in jail where he rightfully belongs. Maybe everything will be okay. Maybe Emily will have a strong and beautiful baby. Maybe gabe will love Emily always and everywhere. Maybe that leg will heal and we can forget this ever happened. Maybe this is jsut some big dream that is just scaring all of us. Maybe Jack will never be able to get over this and he will come and ask for forgiveness. Maybe-"

"Maybe I love you." Cal finally butted in.

She stared at him in surprise. "Uh... Maybe... I love you too..." She whispered happily.

He stood up and limped over to her. She was holding her neck nervously and he grabbed her arms. "Maybe we should kiss." He whispered with a sly smile.

"Maybe we should." She smiled back and let her lips fall onto his.

He soon pulled away and smiled, "Maybe I won't die."

"Dr. Lightman!" Dr. Tolleth screamed, barging into the room.

"Wot the bloody hell do you want?" Cal yelled.

"I think I can save you." He said, panting.
