Undercover lifeguard

Chapter 31

"Carter" I tried my best to smile as I walked in the hospital room he'd been placed in, "hell agent Rebecca Carter" he looked at me as I fought back tears "Carter..." I stuttered before sitting in the chair and placing the folders on the bed "ive brought these over...thought we could look through see if it'll jog any memories" I opened the first one, it was his high school photo "remember anything?" He shuck his head, I skipped the work files and got to our wedding book, with fingers crossed it would make him remember "this is us!" "We are married?" I looked at him and then looked at my wedding rings on my finger "yeah...we are married..." I swallowed as I went through them all "how did we meet?" "You wer...you are my partner" "partner in what?" "In crime...in the special agents, you're my partner we got sent to Hawaii for a case come on you have to remember!" "I'm sorry I can't..." He shuck his head as I stood up.

Pacing the room I ran my fingers through my hair "Carter I need you to remember!" I stood at the bottom of his bed "I'm tryin-" "NOT HArd enough..." I lowered my voice as Steve walked in "hey" I said in almost a whisper "Carter how are ya man?" He bro hugged him and joined me at the end of his bed "I'm fine considering I don't even remember my own apparent wife" I breathed in slowly trying not to cry, Steve sensed it, and discreetly placed his hand over mine, "excuse me...agents" a doctor walked in "I'm sorry, but visiting times are over, I'd love to say you could stay but we have to try and see if we can get his memory back" I nodded quickly, moved my hand from Steve's and walked to carter's side, I went to kiss him, his blue pools looking up at me, searching for an answer, and him not getting one, I kissed his forehead and walked out the door quickly.

As I walked down the corridor, pulling my jacket over me I didn't see Danny coming my way with coffee, I walked straight into him, luckily he caught the coffee, Steve caught me "Jesus I'm sorry" "no problem! No coffee spilt no legs broken" he smiled as he handed me a cup "how is he?" He asked innocently, and my tears started to fall, "whoa hey!! Come on let's get out do here, let's go to the park, none of us are working today, we can grab a hotdog sit in the bench, it's cool out but the suns shining" Steve rubbed my arms as we walked out the hospital.

We sat on the bench, the gentle breeze blowing my loose curls "it'll get sorted" Danny had another mouthful of his hotdog, I picked at mine "really...because at the minute it feels like I'm getting nowhere, everyday this week I've been in with different things, different ideas...and nothing has worked it's like he doesn't want to remember" I wiped another fallen tear as Steve handed me a serviette "give him time" "how much time Steve?! I need him now! Now more than ever!" I used the rough tissue and dabbed under my eyes "you're a strong woman becca-" "no you don't understand..." I took a breath as I looked in front of me "I'm pregnant...so I need him to remember" they both looked at me "p...pregn...well how far?" Danno smiled at me "2 months" "congratulations!" Steve pulled me into his chest and kissed the top of my head "yeah...thank you...I..just, I just wish Carter would remember and then he'd be happy too, because at the minute, this unborn baby doesn't have dad" "does he know?" "Not yet, I'm going to tell him tonight, when I visit again" "you want us to come?" Danno finished his hotdog as Steve looked at me "Danno, you need to go see grace" "she's with her mom" "do you have to speak with your mouthful!?" Steve punched Danno's arm and tutted loudly "well I am sorry mother, I won't do it again" he our he'd Steve back he retaliated "BOYS!" I grabbed both their ears and pulled them close to my face "ow ow ow ow okay okay!" Danno cried out "look, we are in a park, we are being watched by families and other people grow the hell up!" I let go of their ears and stood up "come on, I'm starving, and Im feeling sushi" I grabbed my bag and headed to their car.

After the tons of sushi we headed back to the hospital, when we got to the room I turned around and faced the two boys "hey erm...can I go in alone at first?" "Yeah sure! We err, shall be out here" Steve rubbed my arms as I walked in and closed the door, I took a breath before looking up "Carter?" I looked at the empty made up bed "Carter?" I stepped forward before noticing the white envelope addressed to Agent Rebecca Carter.

I'm not sure what I need to say, but what I do know is that I don't think my memory is coming back, and I don't want you to be dragged down by me, I would prefer a pretty young woman like you to be out there, living life, instead of wasting it on a lost cause, maybe your agent friend Steve could be more suited...

Inside I left the thing that I think belongs to you...I hope to meet again agent and maybe if I have my memory back we can start again...

Carter?

I looked inside the envelope and saw his wedding ring, fresh tears fell over my cheeks as I walked out the room, Steve and Danno rushed over to me "what did he say?" "He's gone" I squeaked as I held up the letter, the wedding ring rolled out and landed in the floor, before spinning on the spot and falling onto its side.
