Twenty two
Nora paced the hospital hallway as her mind tried to comprehend what had happened over the last few hours from the moment she found a heavily beaten Tommy lying in the streets to as her mind kept going back to the image of him badly beaten and covered in his own blood as she looked down at her hands that were covered in his blood causing more tears to fall. However the night's events didn't end there as she struggled to even comprehend who came to offer their after hearing her cries as she couldn't help but think of the last time a certain Irish police officer was in their lives. The doctors and nurses that had been working on Tommy had come out of his room to tell his betrothed that they had managed to minimise and take care of the damage from the beating as he had managed to obtain some broken ribs and serve bruising as Nora asked for a detailed description of his injuries. While she had wanted to be the one to see him first after being treated but Major Chester Campbell used his police status to overrule her saying she had no rights due to not official being Tommy's wife as she quietly waiting in the hallway

" te rog Doamne, lasa-l sa fie bine. Înca avem nevoie de el" Nora said to herself and god in Romanian which translated to ' please god, let him okay. We still need him" as she pleaded with god
" he's all yours now, Miss Parker.... you know sergeant Moss always spoke highly of you and your mother. I wonder what she would say to see you now carrying a thug's bastard" Campbell said coming out of Tommy's room
" are you here for any other reason than spew your vile comments?" Nora said spinning around to face him as she showed that she was in no mood to be messed with due to her high emotional state
" I think I've served my purpose here and I think Tommy and I are now in the same page about who's boss this time" Campbell said reminding Nora of the chaos that came from their last encounter
" you mean like how you believed you were in control last time and you weren't? That reminds me, how is Grace these days?" Nora said as her eyes fell to the cane and limp he was sporting as he walked
" I usually find women with a tongue dangerous. You should better eye on your fiancé, Miss Parker. We wouldn't want anything to happen to him before that baby of yours is born, would we?" Campbell said before walking away as Nora placed a protective hand over her bump
" Miss, you can come and see Mr Shelby now if you want" the nurse said diverting her attention away from the retreating Major and made her focus on the reason she was in such a heightened emotional state
" please" Nora said simply as she felt her heart tighten as she tried to mentally prepare herself for whatever condition Tommy was in as she knew that while she'd seen many beaten men that this was different
" Ready for another visitor, Mr Shelby?" The nurse said as she headed into Tommy's room as Nora heard a groan coming Tommy as she could imagine who he thought had come to see him now
