Chapter 6
Very short chapter this week I am sorry. I am going to update before I go vacation time and it will hopefully be longer. So someone said this story was stupid and made no sense so if you are going to review keep in mind that this is not a real story so if something doesn't make sense it might be because I added it to be different. Also I will have another chapter in a few days.
After a week, the doctor suggested that Finn go home at night to sleep because it was better for him. It was almost the end of July and Finn was making his way over to the hospital for the day after stopping at Dunkin Donuts to grab Rachel and him some breakfast. When he got to the hospital, he took the elevator to the floor she was staying on. When he got to her floor, he walked to Rachel's room and opened the door, expecting to see her on the bed but was shocked when she was not laying there. He placed her breakfast on the side table and walked out of the room hoping to find a nurse but had no such luck. He wondered the halls for a bit looking for either his wife or a nurse, whichever came first. As he approached a corner, he heard the most beautiful singing voice. He knew once he heard it that it was Rachel singing
"Keep holding on, cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through just stay strong. Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you there's nothing you could say, nothing you could do, there's no other way when it comes to the truth so keep holding on cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through" she sang, but when he turned the corner, he saw the most breath taking sight he could ever imagine. A few feet away, there stood Rachel, wearing her yoga pants and tank top, walking with a cane in her hands. He immediately started tearing up just the thought that Rach was one step closer to walking again.
"Rachel, oh my god you're walking on your own! Are you ok? Do you need help? Here grab my hand! I can't believe this is happening!" Finn kept rambling on until Rachel stopped him. "Finn, I am fine! I have this cane to help me keep my balance. I mean it kind of hurts when I lift my leg up, because it feels like my pelvis is shifting but other than that I really think I am going to be ok. I was thinking that maybe I take a year off of work so that I can focus on life itself rather than dancing." Rachel concluded.
"Rachel this is amazing! I'm so proud of you. I know you weren't keen on walking right away because of the stress and the pain but you are really pulling through. In a few months you will be walking like a pro again!" Finn stated as he helped her get back to the room. Once she was lying back on the bed Finn gave her her food. While they were eating, the nurse came back into the room.
"How's Miss Rachel doing?" she asked. "I'm doing really well actually! I was able to go for a little walk around the hall way with the cane, so I'm making great progress, thank you." Rachel replied.
"Well that's wonderful! Now I have some papers on your progress and from what we've seen, you are making a great recovery for your condition. I give it a couple more months and you should be walking like nothing ever happened!" the nurse said.
Rachel and Finn exchanged looks and started smiling. His wife's life would go back to normal over the span of a couple of months. It's unbelievable how happy he was right then! The only thing missing was a baby, but that's not something he would ever tell Rachel. The fact that she had been through all of this and the possibility of not carrying a child ever frightened him but it's something that he wanted and he couldn't help but want it. The health and safety of his wife was the most important thing, but a baby that would be half his and half hers just seemed magical.
A week past by and the doctors were finally letting Rachel go home. This was going to be a great challenge because they didn't have a car to drive back in and flying might have been too difficult. "Rachel, how did you want to get home? We can find a way to drive back home or we can fly, the only problem with that is that I don't want you in pain and we are stuck in the sky. Although it is a short flight, I don't want them to make an emergency landing." Finn said.
"Flying will be fine but we spent no time with your parents! I feel awful!" Rachel said getting up from the hospital bed to put clothes on. "Well they can always come down to visit us, the doctor and nurses say it's better for you to go home so that you get used to being in that home environment rather than here and getting used to everything the way it is just to go home and have to learn everything all over again." Finn stated.
"True, it's all up to you!" Rachel said. Later that night, Finn and Rachel started packing so that when morning came, they could be on their way.
