Serena turned around to leave; it was almost end of visiting hours.
Something rustled in the background
"Memeat. ball head?"
>>>>>>>>
"It's a miracle he survived and woke up from his coma. We were loosing hope. He's a lucky guy." Dr. Davidson was talking to Serena as they both walked towards Darien's room. He had recovered from his coma about thirty minutes ago. As soon as Serena heard him say "meatball head" she called some nurses in. "We just have to run some tests," the doctor continued, "and if everything goes well, then I suppose he'll be ready to leave soon.'
~*Serena's POV*~
'Oh my gods, thank you so much! It is such a relief he's going to be all right, oh Darien, I knew you'd make it! (A.N well not really but anyway, on with the story!). ::Sigh:: Hey! He called me meatball head! Oh well I suppose this is the one time where I was jumping for joy at the sound of that name.'
~*End Serena's POV*~
They entered Darien's room; he was sitting up against the back of the bed.
"Hello Mr. Shields, how are you feeling?"
"Uh, a bit dazed, but I think I'm alright."
"Well that's all right. You've been through a lot, from what I hear about that accident, you're quite the hero," Dr Davidson said, nodding towards Serena. She was standing against the back wall, her head down.
"Now all we need to do is run a few tests, get some cat-scans and if everything turns out all right, you should be able to leave tomorrow evening. Well I'll give the two of you some moments. A nurse will be coming by soon." Dr. Davidson finished with a smile as he left the room.
"Sere?"
Serena walked slowly over to the chair adjacent to the bed, and took seat.
Her head shot up and tears were evident in her eyes. "Darien I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this, it's all my fault!"
"Serena none of this is your fault! What happened, happened, right?"
"Yea but if it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have been here. And what the hell were you thinking switching places in the car just to protect me?"
"I was thinking exactly that," he replied, "to protect you."
"But why?" Serena asked in almost an inaudible voice.
"I suppose it was instinctive, I didn't want to see you get hurt."
Serena smiled and took his hand, "Thank you."
"What are friends for right? By the way," he started, "shouldn't you be in Kyoto by now?"
"You were more important than any assignment, though now I suppose you'll have to subscribe to our magazine," She said, lightening the mood a little.
The nurse walked in then, and asked Darien to follow her into a small office across the hall. Serena had to wait a couple of hours till the tests were done.
"Hello, my name's Kim. Your friend should be able to leave by 6:30 tomorrow evening, if everything shows up fine in the X-rays. Will you be coming by to pick him up?" The nurse asked Serena while she made Darien's bed.
"Yes I suppose so."
Serena left soon after that. She was finally able to get a full night's sleep. The next day she checked to see the flight schedule for Kyoto so that her and Darien wouldn't have to put of their work much longer. There was one the next evening that they could probably make if he was feeling up to it. She called Darien's company, and tpld Aaron that his boss was all right now. She had called the company a few days ago to tell them about the accident from Darien's business card. Good thing he kept a few in his wallet. She didn't know whether to call a cab or just walk to the hospital. She wasn't sure if Darien wanted to take a cab so soon after the accident. After making a few arrangements with the hotel to stay a couple more days, she walked to the hospital and took a change of clothes for Darien.
"Ready to go?" Serena asked Darien as she entered his room.
"Yep, the doctors said I'm good as new, thanks to somebody's well wishes," he said winking towards her.
Serena flushed, "So you heard about that huh?" Serena handed him the clothes.
"Oh? The fact that you were here everyday? Yes I heard that," he turned around before he entered the bathroom, "And you don't know how flattered I am."
"Well don't fill yourself up too much." 'Jeez Serena, at least try and be nice to the guy, he just woke up from a coma for gods sake!' Serena was scolding herself mentally.
"By the way," she called after him, "Do you want to take a cab, or can you walk?"
"Uh I think fresh air will do me good..."
Serena chuckled, "That's what I thought too. By the way, There's a flight from here to Kyoto tomorrow evening, 7:00 p.m., are you up to it?"
"Yea," Darien replied, "besides I hate being pampered over, I'm glad I can get outa here."
They left the hospital soon after that; Darien paid whatever bill he had at the front desk, besides, his insurance covered most of the costs. On the way home, they talked about why some things happen, after a long argument they settled on the fact that while there was a reason for some things, others were just a stroke of bad luck.
"Well since you've been a good strong boy, I'll fix you dinner tonight," Serena volunteered.
"Lord help me, I'll probably be back in that hospital before the night's over!"
Serena playfully punched him the arm, "Hey don't kid around about things like that." She said, trying to be serious. She then proceeded to tell him that she'd taken care of the hotel reservations and that she'd informed his company about the condition over here.
"Wow Sere, I didn't know you could be so responsible..."
"Yea well, I guess you're just missing out on your meatball head time, huh?"
"Since when did we start liking that name?" Darien asked her as he entered their hotel room.
"Since we started liking you," was her simple reply. Darien's eyes grew in shock for a moment, and then were filled in tenderness a moment later.
"Now have a seat, get comfortable," Serena said as she motioned him over to the couch. "And while you're there get some air tickets," she handed him the phone, "the number's on the table."
For the next forty-five minutes, Darien made a few calls and watched T.V, while Serena prepared 'food'- in her sense....
"OK here we go," She said as she set two plates on the coffee table in front of Darien. The plates consisted of something that resembled curry, and some rice. "I know it's not the greatest presentation, but try it, I'm sure you'll like it."
"Here we go..." Darien said as he took the fork she handed him. "Hey, this isn't bad," Darien said with a mouthful of food.
Serena smiled, "I'll get us some water. Do you have to take any medicine?"
"Yea just a couple of pills for about a month. And then I have to go back for a check-up."
"I'm just glad you didn't die on me there, knowing me I probably couldn't have been able to handle it."
"Since when did you start to care about me so much?" Darien asked her.
"Since I thought I'd lost you," Serena replied, staring straight into his eyes.
After dinner they went out into the bedroom and started talking over two bowls of chocolate ice cream.
"Where'd we get all this food," Darien asked as he took a bite.
"From the store, duh!"
He started laughing.
"Well I was sort of trying to find things to keep me busy while you were in the coma. You have no idea how hard that was on me."
Darien reached over and gave her a small hug. They finished desert, and Serena put away the bowls.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms soon after that.
