[It's been like an hour. Washington and John went home and visited Jefferson, filled him in. A doctor hasn't visited Alexander and Marquis yet because it's America and I'm using that as a plot device. Eh. Third Person POV. Check the A/N at the bottom for the french translations.] 

"Reste avec moi, Laff. Ne me quitte pas, je te promets que je resterai ici à tes côtés jusqu'à ce que tu me rejoignes. Vous  réveillerez bientôt, je le sais, mais je m'inquiète pour vous. Quand vous réveillerez, dans quel genre de douleur serez-vous? Pourquoi quelqu'un veut-il nous séparer? Je ne sais pas. Je veux que tu saches que même quand tu seras partie, je t'aimerai pour toujours. Je le jure." Alexander was speaking fluently in french to Marquis and he had been for the past hour. He hadn't left Lafayette's side for even a second, he read out new from France, he video called Marquis' parents and showed Marquis to them, He read Marquis' favourite book to him, even prayed for him though Alexander was atheist he prayed with all his might. He even painted Marquis' fingernails with a black nail polish. He brought Marquis' hand to his forehead and allowed himself to shed a small tear, it made him feel ridiculous but he could lose Marquis and he didn't want to. He heard the door open and wiped tear and gently dropped Marquis' hand and placed it on the bed and stood up.

"I'm Dr. Varshavski, Marquis' doctor." The doctor stated. 

"I'm Alexander Hamilton, Marquis' boyfriend. I'm his closest family in America currently as his parents are in France."

"Ahh yes. Marquis had a myocardial infarction followed by cardiac arrest. He had a CAS heart attack which meant he doesn't need an coronary angiography." The doctor explained, Alexander nodded quietly and at a quick pace. 

"However during the cardiac arrest, he did fall down a flight of stairs and break his arm as well as suffer some trauma to the head." The doctor continued.

"WHAT?! How did I not notice that?" Alexander silently cursed himself for not knowing.

"Your other friend should have been informed of this, I believe. He must have not had time to let you know." The doctor tried his best to explain.

"I'll call him later. Will Marquis be okay?" Alexander asked

"His heart has thankfully not suffered and damage due to it being a CAS heart attack and not an STEMI or NSTEMI heart attack. His arm is repairable but because of the fall he might suffer amnesia or a concussion. I had a CT Scan done and we're analysing the results at the moment. If he wakes up please call a nurse and let us know." The doctor finished and asked

"Do you have any questions, Alexander?"

"When will the results of the CT scan be conclusive?

"Since this can be classified as non-emergent, we should have results in 2 weeks. Possibly sooner if Marquis wakes, then we can check for symptoms as well other than the 4 foot fall and the unconsciousness." Dr. Varshavski said "It can be hard waiting for results but Marquis is in good hands, I know the radiologist personally and they are excellent at their job." The doctor looked down at his watch and said "It appears I have to go, please call a nurse if Marquis wakes up." The doctor walked out of the hospital room and closed the door. Alexander rushed to Marquis' left side and analysed his broken arm. 

"Veuillez vous réveiller? Laff, j'ai besoin que tu te réveilles juste, ouvre les paupières et montre-moi que tu vas bien et je vais reculer J'ai juste besoin que tu redeviennes toi-même." He whispered he rested his head on Laff's leg, gently holding his hand, he started humming a slow song and by the end his exhaustion gave in and he fell asleep, sitting on the floor and clutching Marquis. 


A/N: I know in the last chapter I said I probably won't publish the 5th chapter until day after tomorrow but eehhh. Sorry it kinda sucks and I kind of threw the falling down the stairs at you guys but I think you may have expected. I know you guys came for Jamilton and I'm giving you HamLaff but it's a slow burn and it will take a while. Anyways, I'm tired and in pain because I hurt my back and can't move well so that's my excuse for the sucky chapter/book. Hope you guys like it anyway since I did research for it, if I got medical stuff wrong, made any grammar punctuation errors or my french grammar/words/anything was wrong let me know. I have done no editing for this chapter so God help you reading it. My brain is fried. Love you guys. Bye!

1st french para:

"Reste avec moi, Laff. Ne me quitte pas, je te promets que je resterai ici à tes côtés jusqu'à ce que tu me rejoignes. Vous réveillerez bientôt, je le sais, mais je m'inquiète pour vous.

"Stay with me, Laff. Don't leave me, I promise I'll stay here by your side until you join me. You'll wake up soon, I know, but I'm worried about you. When you wake up what kind of pain will you be in? Why does someone want to separate us? I don't know. I want you to know that even when you are gone, I will love you forever. I swear. "


2nd french para:

"Veuillez vous réveiller? Laff, j'ai besoin que tu te réveilles juste, ouvre les paupières et montre-moi que tu vas bien et je vais reculer J'ai juste besoin que tu redeviennes toi-même."

English translation:

"Please wake up? Laff, I need you to just wake up, open your eyelids and show me you're okay and I'll back off. I just need you to be yourself again."


Also thanks for the comments correcting the french, I've made the edits. Let me know if I need to change anything. I do know french but I didn't use it here because:

1. I haven't learned how to make great declarations of love in french they only teach that to the college kids.

2. I...didn't feel like it at the time apparently?
