Saving Grace *Body Guard series*

Saving Grace: Chapter 10 Saving Her part 1

After staying one night in the hospital, being woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat from night terrors and having Terrell beside me to help me through, I wake up feeling better than I did when I first arrived but I am still super sore.

Dr. Carrington wakes me up by gently touching my hand, I open my eyes seeing her smiling at me so I return a smile. I look over seeing an arm around me. Terrell is sleeping beside me in my tiny hospital bed. He is still asleep peacefully.

I turn my face to his, kissing him on the nose. I pull back and watch him crinkle his nose a little then his eyes open one at a time, he yawns then sits up. He looks over at us smiling. He gets off the bed and stretches yawning once more.

"It was the only thing I could think of to get you to stop screaming in your sleep." He said sitting down on the chair beside the bed. I smile at him.

"Okay, Miss Grace it's time to take you to get a CT scan. We need to make sure nothing internally is wrong before we can discharge you from our care." I nod my head sitting up. My legs start to shake when I rotate my body to the side of the bed.

"Mr. Clarricoates can you help her into the wheelchair? I don't think her legs are yet strong enough to support her weight." He nods his head then they switch places. He slides his arms under my legs and around my back, lifts me and places me in the wheelchair. I shiver a little from the cold leather seat. He puts my feet on the foot plate then turns and grabs the blanket off the bed and drapes it over me. I smile and thank him, he leans down and plants a kiss on my forehead.

"Okay I'm going to lead you down to the scanning room but first we need to stop and weigh you. Again I'll need your help, Mr. Clarricoates." He nods as she gets behind the wheelchair and pushes me out of the room and down a hallway. We pass a bunch of doors until we turn the corner seeing double doors that have a warning about x rays being in process. We arrive at a small nook with a scale. I look back at Terrell who walks around the back of the wheelchair over to me.

"All I need is to see how much weight you have lost. Do you remember how much weight you were before?" Dr. Carrington asked as she stepped beside the scale. I shake my head no because I never really weighed myself. I just knew I was healthy.

" Yeah she was around 56 Kg" Terrell said as he looked at the doctor. I looked at him in shock that he knew that.

I mean it makes sense he would know how much I weighed just because he was in charge of everything about my safety.

Terrell leans down, pulls the blanket off of me and lifts me onto my feet with my arm behind his shoulder for support and then has his arm around my waist. He walks slowly with me to the scale and helps me get onto the scale. The doctor starts moving the scale to adjust to my weight. She stops on the balanced weight and writes it down on the clipboard that she pulled from the wheelchair.

"She lost fifteen pounds from malnutrition. We will need to get her back up to her normal weight over a couple months so we don't shock her system."

"Okay, I'll make sure I tell her chef that when we get her home." The doctor nods her head writing on her paper.

"Alright now we gotta get her back in the wheelchair so we can take her into the CT room."

Terrell scoops me up which makes me giggle a little. Just the sound of my giggle brightened Terrell and Doctor Carrington's mood with a smile on their faces.

"Don't worry we will get you squared away and before you know it you'll be back to your normalcy." She said as she started to walk towards the double doors. Terrell places me into the wheelchair over top of the blanket, putting my feet back onto the foot plate. He wheels me over to the doctor who lifts her badge to the wall unlocking the doors. They open slowly revealing a room with a giant white and metal bed in front of a circular like machine.
