The Cuddle Pact with Eddie Munson

28

Luci wakes up with her arm feeling pins and needles, and she looks and sees Eddie sleeping.
He looks so peaceful.
She really doesn't want to wake him up but her arm is falling asleep.
"Eddie?"

"Eds?"

"Hmm?" He said sleepy.

"My arm's falling asleep," she rasps.

"I'm sorry Lu," he said scooting away from her arm.

"It's okay."

"Am I dreaming?"

Luci shakes her head no.

"You're awake!"

He quickly walks out to the nurse's station saying, she's awake! Luci Henderson! Page Claudia Henderson please.He walks back to her room, Dr. Pierce comes in as Eddie leans on the wall watching Dr. Pierce check her post-op incision.
"Well everything looks good, your incision is healing. And I'll page Dr. Martt to look at your leg."

"Thank you."

Dr. Pierce gives her a small smile and walks out of the room. Eddie leans forward off the wall and walks to the chair he sat on.

"You're feeling okay? For the most part," he said mentioning her leg.

"Yeah."

"I want to-"

Dustin and Claudia came through her room, Dustin hugging her.

"Ana! You're awake!"

"Hey Dust, you okay?"her eyes scanning his stitches and cast.

He looks at with confusion as he pulls away, " Am I okay? I got nothing compared to you."

"Don't say that."

"It's true!"

"Easy on her Dustin,"Eddie said concerned.

Dustin nods at what Eddie says as Claudia petting Ana's hair back, " I'm happy you're awake Ana."

Luci smiles at her mom and nods, "Me too."

"Has anyone called Robin? Or Steve?"

Her mom and Dustin said no. Dustin hands her the hospital room phone and calls Family Video Store.

Hello this is Family Video Store this is Steve how may I help you?
Do you have a copy of Xandu?

Luci?! Hey Robin! Ana's awake!

Ana laughs, Hey Steve, hey Robin.

We are on our way! she heard Robin shout from the background.

"They are on their way here," Ana chuckles.

"Are you thirsty or anything?" Dustin asked.

"Some water please,"she rasps.

Claudia and Dustin left to get Ana water. Eddie sits in his chair feeling relieved that Luci is awake. Eddie wonders if she heard what he said to her last night.
