Spencer's POV:

I sit on the edge of the hospital bed Becca was laying in.

She had just gotten out of surgery an hour ago and we were all taking turns seeing her.

Looking at her hurt me.

She was scared and bruised everywhere. Her skin was paler than usual and her hair was a mess.

I lean close to her and move strands of her blonde hair out of her face and tuck it behind her ears.

I trail my fingers down her face and down to her finger tips, giving me a tingly feeling all over my body.

I continue to gaze at her when a knock on the door interrupts me.

I turn and look at the entry and a nurse comes into the room, "I need to give Ms. Singfeild some medicine, but your welcome to stay in here." She says coming over to the bed.

"Thanks," I mumble and look back at Becca.

"Are you close with her?" The nurse asks.

"Yeah, I think so." I say, smiling at the thought of Becca talking to me again.

"She should wake up soon." The nurse says, cleaning up the medicine she had given to Becca. "You're more than welcome to stay here until then."

"No I can't. My coworkers and I are taking turns seeing her so I should get going." I say standing up and walk out the door.

I walk into the waiting room and see the rest of the team siting in chairs.

"Nurse said she should wake up soon." I say sitting down next to JJ. "Whose turn is it to see her?" I ask.

"I'll go," Emily says standing up and leaving the waiting room leaving the rest of us in silence.

I rest my chin in my hand and tap my foot on the ground impatiently.

'I want to see her again.' I think.

I push myself up from the chair and head over to the cafeteria like area and start to make myself some coffee with the coffee pot.

"You ok?" I jump at the sound of JJ's voice behind me. "Yeah I'm fine." I mumble turning on the coffee pot.

"You sure? You seem a bit- distracted."

I turn and look at JJ, who had her motherly concerned face on. "JJ I'm fine. Just worried about Becca that's all." I turn back around and pour my coffee into a foam cup and start to open sugar packets.

"You like her? Don't you?" She asks.

"Of course I like her I work with her."

"No Spence, you know what I mean."

I sigh and pour the sugar into my drink, "Only 3/10 of coworkers fall in love and 2 out of those three actually get married." I say.

I turn and look at JJ who is smiling at me, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." She says before walking back into the waiting room.

Becca's POV:

I wake up in a strange place with a massive headache.

"Well hello there sleeping beauty." I groan as I sit up and see Morgan sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I would give you something for your headache but your nurse told you I wasn't allowed to." He says.
