Doc groans laying in bed. he's in so much pain, he can barely move. he's miserable.
"I have court in 20 minutes." Doc mumbles. Lightning smiles slightly at his husband. he <i>looks</i> miserable. Lightning pats his hand gently, before kissing it.
"just hold on Hud, me and Sheriff are working on it." Lightning assured softly, leaning over him to attach a phone holder to the head of their bed.
"watch it." Doc hissed quietly with a wince. Lightning pulled back a little.
"sorry Hud." Lightning says. "okay its all set up." Lightning nodded. he looked at the cell phone on the night stand and crouched in front of it. "you get it set up Sheriff?" Lightning ask.
"I think so." Sheriff muttered. Lightning nods and clicks the phone into place. "alright Doc can you see anything?" Sheriff ask.
"just your big head." Doc snapped. Sheriff moved out of the way. "clear view of the whole court room." Doc mumbles.
"good. I'll get the room set up." Sheriff said walking off. Lightning crouched and paused the view smiling at Doc.
"see I told you everything would be fine." Lightning assured.
"shut up. everything is <i>not</i> fine!" Doc snapped. he hissed and moans lowly, eyes clinched shut tightly in pain.
"just stay still Hud." Lightning murmured, walking out of the room. Doc had been like this for three days, ever since he threw his back out. he was aching so bad he couldn't even get out of bed. Lightning had been doing his best to keep him comfortable. there was a bottle of pain relievers on the nightstand along with a cup of water, a lumbar pillow under his back, and he kept him from moving. Lightning came back in. "got your heating pad." Lightning murmured. Doc winced and took it, shoving it under his back the best he could before turning it on.
"thank you." Doc muttered through clenched teeth.
"you going to be okay?" Lightning ask.
"eventually." Doc winced. he sighed in relief after a moment, relaxing into the heating pad.
"here. I got these from the clinic for you." Lightning said setting a bottle of Bayer's back and body on the nightstand.
"thank you." Doc muttered, wincing. Lightning smiled, kissing his cheek.
"you take care of me. kinda nice to be able to return the favor, though I hate the fact it hurts you." Lightning said softly.
"m'okay. just old." Doc muttered.
"somethings get better with age." Lightning smiles.
"my back doesn't." Doc huffed. Lightning sighs a little, kissing his hand.
"you're on." Lightning murmured, turning the video feed back on.
"all rise for the honorable Doc Hudson." Sheriff called. Doc looked around, before his eyes settled on someone.
"Chick Hicks, why am I not surprised?" Doc ask. "Sheriff what are the charges here?" Doc ask.
"B&E, 2 counts of assault and destruction of private property." Sheriff said.
"boy you're in a lot of trouble." Doc glared. he looked over at Lightning. "let me see that file." Doc said. Lightning holds up the file and lets Doc look through it.
"aren't you supposed to be in here?" Chick snaps.
"boy if I were in there I'd be scarier. hold the attitude." Doc snapped, reading the file. he winced softly, reaching for a picture. immediately Lightning held it out to him. Doc grabbed it and looked it over. "who got hit?" Doc ask.
