My New Doctor

Chapter 42

Rachel's POV
The car ride home was so painful as the street we live has speed bumps from one end all the way to other, Harry did drive extra slow though in attempt to help but it hurt to matter what. When we got in Harry carried me straight upstairs as don't forget I'm still on crutches but I went to physio yesterday and I got discharged from there so it's down to Harry to decide when to take the brace off, I might ask him later actually.
After I got changed Harry carried me back down and I fell asleep on the sofa until I heard the doorbell ring. I tried to sit up but I couldn't do it as it hurt so much, I don't know what came over me all of a sudden and I just burst into tears so by the time Harry got back I was in a bit of a state. He rushed over to me as soon as he noticed "hey shh shh, your okay princess" he said striking my hair which actually did calm me down, it always has. "What's upset you?" He asked after I'd calmed down a bit, "everything from the past few weeks is just really overwhelming now, I just want to have a break from everything" I replied and another few tears slipped out. "Oh I know princess, your coping so well though, you wouldn't believe how proud o am of you!" Harry said smiling "thanks haz, can you do me a favour?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?" He asked
"Take my brace off please? Pretty pretty please?" I begged giving him my best puppy dog eyes
"Oh you can't say no to that haz!" Sophie said from behind him. He just looked at her and laughed before shaking his head and turning back to me "right I can take it off and have a look see how your doing but if your not ready it's going back on, understood?" He said seriously
"Yes sir" o said saluting him. He took it off and it actually didn't hurt, it's still sore but not too bad "right rach, you've got to be completely truthful now okay?" I nodded "does it hurt when it's resting?"
"It's still sore but it doesn't actually hurt"
"What about if I touch here" he said poking me gently
"It does buy it feels like a bruise"
"Right turn around and put both feet flat on the floor" Harry said, he helped me turn and I did as he asked with a little help because my ribs were still on a lot of pain
"Right now I'm going to hold you and your going to stand up. Put all your weight on your good foot first and just gently lean on to the other when your ready okay?" He asked. I nodded and stood up, Harry held my hands as I went to lean on to the other foot, I squeezed his hands because I was scared it will hurt "relax love, take your time there's no rush" Harry said and I loosened my grip on his hands and slowly put some pressure on that leg, it felt foreign to stand on that leg, but it felt nice at the same time. "How does it feel?" Harry asked after he noticed I'd shifted my weight "good" I laughed to which he just grinned at me
"Soph, pass the crutches will you please?" Harry asked and she handing me my crutches to which I accepted and left Harry go. He then walked to the other side of the room and said "walk to me, use the crutches to take some but not all of the weight when stepping on that leg, okay? Soph stay close just in case she needs a hand please?" I took a deep breath and dos as he asked and it felt amazing to be able to walk on two feel again, I made it all the way to Harry and embraced him in a huge bear hug "thanks haz! Your the best" I beamed even though I was in so much pain, I didn't want to ruin the moment though so I kept it quiet.
For the rest of that night we are Chinese food and watched some films, pitch perfect 2 was great! I decided to head up to bed but couldn't get my self up as the pain was extreme by this point.
"Harry?" I asked quietly
"Yes princess?" He asked
"It hurts, I can't move" I mumbled out
"Oh sweetheart why didn't you say earlier I would have given you something?" Harry said going over to his bag "I'm going to give you some morphine okay?" My eyes widened as I knew what that was "don't panic it's just a little bit not enough to make you loopy but enough to ease the pain and allow you to sleep okay?" I breathed a sigh of relief and offered him my hand to put it through the cannula as we didn't take it out as Harry thought we may need it. He then carried me up to bed and kissed me goodnight "goodnight haz, I love you" I said "love you too chick, night night"

Harry's POV
I got back downstairs and I had a huge grin on my face, "what's got you so happy?" Sophie asked "I just can't believe how grown up Rachel is after the last few weeks, it's been hard but she's a fabulous young lady now, she's getting there now, finally" I said and Sophie just smiled and snuggled into me "she's your sister for sure, strong as always, you should be prof of yourself too, she thinks the world of you and I know you think the same of her, your her everything g and it really shows".
That night I finally plucked up the courage to ask her if she wanted to take things further and she said yes. She felt the same, I was so happy and I went to bed the luckiest man alive that night"
