Marshall's POV ...

" I'm here to see Emma Mathews can you tell me where she is ?" I asked one of the nurses at the desk .
" I'm sorry sir , but only family is aloud in after 6pm, are you family? " she asked pointing to the clock .
" I'm her partner, I need to see her " I smiled lying to the old lady .
" oh in that case follow me sir ,I'm Yvonne I'm taking care of miss Mathews " she smiled walking up the corridor.
" thank you Yvonne, I'm Marshall " I said following her.
" nice to meet you Marshall , I'm sorry for your loss . But the surgery went well and miss Mathews should be aloud home tomorrow morning we will just keep her over night for observation. " she said walking beside me .
" Nice to meet you to , thank you . Is she awake ?" I asked.
" she woke when we brought her back to her room , she hasn't spoke to anyone I think she is still in shook the poor girl so young and having to go through this " she said .
"Oh ok" I shrugged .
" Here we are Marshall , you can head in now il be back in an hour or so to check on her but if you need anything just ring the bell ." She smiled and walked away .

I opened the door and walked in she was lying on the bed facing the window so I couldn't see if she was sleeping but she didn't move so I presumed she was . I was trying to be extra quiet so I slowly walked towards the chair next to bed and took a seat laying my head on the back of the chair and closing my eyes.
I must have drifted off to sleep cause I woke up to Emma saying my name .

" Marshall " she whispered eyes red and puffy looking at me .
" Hey sorry I didn't want to wake you when I first came in , I must have fell asleep I'm sorry" I smiled .
" it's okay , but why are you here?" She asked .
" I couldn't leave you alone Emma , I'm so sorry this happened " I said looking into her eyes .
I could see she was beginning to cry again , abit of me broke seeing her like this .
" Marshall I'm so sorry , I'm really sorry " she cried .
" shhhh Emma it's okay , it's going to be okay " I said taking her hand .
" it's not I'm broken , completely and utterly broken . I'm so exhausted too . " she cried .
" you will be okay I promise you , il help you aiight, I'm here for you . Now move over " I said getting off the chair and getting on the bed beside her .

She cuddled right into me placing her head on my chest and a arm around my waist . I just held her for a few moments in silence how could this happen to her she doesn't deserve this pain . Fuck !.

"Marshall I'm really sorry for all this , you shouldn't have to deal with me and this shit . I'm sorry if I disappointed you . If there was anything I could have done I would have , I didn't even know -" she cried looking up at me .
"Emma , it's okay stop apologising there was nothing either of Us could've done . You didn't disappoint me . It will be okay we will get through it , I know you didn't and that's okay to " I smiled kissing her on the forehead.
" Thank you , if there is somewhere you need to be you can leave I don't expect you to stay here " she said .
" I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here . This happened to both of us , I know it affects you more and I'm sorry for that I'd take the pain away if I could but we're going to deal with this together right " I said looking at her .
"Okay " she mumbled looking at me .
" Good, now sleep , il still be here when you wake " I said .
" thanks , you don't have to hold me " she said .
" I know but I want to , I need to right now " I said .
She just looked at me and smiled , before I knew what I was doing I pressed my lips leaving a soft kiss on hers . What was I doing ? It's definitely cause off all these emotions that's going on right ?. Fuck Marshall you seriously doing this shit now !
She moved her head so it was closer to my neck and within minutes she feel asleep , it didn't take long until I found my eyes closing ....

Emma's POV ...
I woke up and the light was shinning through the windows it must be morning I can't believe I slept the whole night . I went to move around but I couldn't that's when I remembered Marshall , he was still here in the bed holding me fast asleep . For a Moment i forgot about everything but then the cramps started again in my stomach and I felt nauseous I needed to get to the bathroom and change my sanitary towel , i finally got free from his grip and tried to make my way to the bathroom but I was to sore and the struggle was real . I pushed the red help button hoping Yvonne the nurse would come in and she did .
