*************G'S POV*************
I was sitting there looking at Paige (across the bed) who was slowly dozing off. I could almost smile but then I turned and saw the tubes sticking out of Christy's throat. I knew if, I mean when, she woke up she would literally kill the doctors. Again I felt myself almost smile and cry at the same time. A few hours ago was the first time I had cried in years. I had cried again when I first saw Christy.
"Hey Paige you should get home" I said causing her to jump a little.
"No I'm fine but you look tired you should go home" she said sitting up.
"Look you have Dom and the little one coming, you need your sleep" I said smiling the best fake smile I could manage.
"No I'm sure I can stay here they have beds that they can roll in" she said getting up and walking over toward the door.
"Paige stop" I said looking at her "You have a life and a family and you need to get real sleep but, I don't have anything outside this hospital room, nothing so go home and I will call you."
"Fine, it's just there has never been anyone in her life ever, even in all of her foster homes no one loved her not even my parents. I'm the closest thing she has to family and it scares me sometimes letting anyone in her life" Paige said staring at me. She moved from the door to next to Christy standing by me. I smiled up at her remembering how much Christy talked about her.
"Look why don't you come in, in the morning and I will go into the office" I said knowing the answer before I asked it.
"Of course" she said grabbing all of her stuff. She walked out and I relaxed back into the chair I was sitting in. One of the nurses came in and looked at me.
"Sir I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to leave, visiting hours are over" she said looking over at me.
"Ohh the doctor gave us permission to keep one agent with her at all times" I said smiling half heartedly.
"Okay sir thank you for letting me know, do you need anything" she said being overly sweet.
"Yeah can I get a roll away bed."
"Sure" she said smiling. She walked out and I rested my head against Christy's bed. I shut my eyes for what seemed like a few seconds until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I shot up and looked around pulling my gun out. Paige was standing looking at me. I looked around the room again and noticed the light shining through the window and I could tell it was at least nine in the morning.
"God what time is it" I said squinting at Paige.
"Ohh I don't know maybe around ten thirty" she said looking pretty pissed.
"What's wrong" I said mentally berating myself for sleeping in.
"Well let's see your never usually late so everyone was a little worried and then you weren't answering your phone so Erik tried to trace it and it was off, your car was still in the parking lot of the hospital so everyone was really worried until I suggested that we call the nurses station and they said you were still here" se said tapping her foot.
"Well I told you I was staying here last night" I said stretching then flinching. My neck and back hurt which was to be expected after sleeping like I had.
"Yeah but you always come in on time" she said really mad now.
"Sorry I didn't sleep well last night" I said glaring at her. She knew why I wasn't in on time.
"Well you should have called or something" she said still angry.
"Again sorry but I fell asleep a few minutes after you left and I kept waking up every time one of the nurses would come in and then had to change her bandages so they made me leave for that and so I took a walk outside and then I came back up and it was four so I sat down and figured I would get up in a couple hours and then I just passed out. I've been on edge all night and you yelling at isn't helping." I said letting my anger take over.
"I'm sorry it's just I don't get sleep much anymore with the baby and it's just really hard and exhausting" she said obviously hurt by what I had said. Fuck I am bad at this, "Paige can we call truce for her benefit" I said nodding toward Christy.
"Deal" she said relaxing "Well I best get back to the office and let everyone know you are alive but you are going to stay here I assume."
"Yeah, if you guys get a case give me a call" I said turning back to Christy.
"Bye" Paige said quietly as she left. I looked at the monitors and then turned to face her. She was lying so still with needles and tubes sticking out of her arms and throat. I took her hand and rested it on my heart.
"Babe if you can hear me I need you" god I feel so stupid and childish I thought before continuing "I love you and I do need you, I need you more than I need anyone else and more than you say you need me."
