Best of friends

LOML

I walked into the trauma room, and Brendon was laid flat with a neck brace on and tape stuck to his forehead and chin.
"Who's there?" Brendon said, sounding panicked.
"B?"
"Robyn! Thank goodness," and he put his hand up so I could hold it. I was trying my best not to cry. I smoothed Brendons hair back from his face and kissed his forehead.
"Baby, I am so sorry I didn't get here sooner. I had a nap after work." Then the tears started. The tears of guilt.
"Ro, it's fine. You are here now." Brendon smiled at me. "You er wanna climb on top?" He winked.
"Ooo, don't tempt me." I purred and whispered, "would you fuck in a hospital?" Brendon gulped and I kissed him lightly. The surgery team came to collect Brendon.
"I love you."
"I love you." We shared a kiss, and then he was wheeled away. The surgeon quickly came to talk to us. She said that he also needed minor work on his neck doing. Dr Taylor told us where we could wait. I called Grace to let her know the latest. Her and Boyd were on their way to the airport. Spencer said that he would pick them up.

4 hours later, Brendon came up from surgery. He was put onto the ICU unit. He was still asleep from the anaesthetic. Grace and Boyd had just arrived. Dr Taylor came and spoke to us all.
"Ok, so the liver laceration wasn't as difficult to repair than we first thought. His neck, on the other hand, was a bit trickier. Our neuro team is excellent, and Mr Uries neck has been fully repaired. He should wake up soon."
"Thank you, Dr Taylor,"we all said.Grace hugged her husband, and I hugged Spencer. I went to sit with Brendon for a little while. Boyd, Grace, and Spencer went to get some food and call family members.
I was in deep thought when all I heard was,"Is that offer still open?" My head whipped around to look at my boyfriend.
"What offers that, then?" I asked amused.
"For a fuck in the hospital, of course." Brendon coughed a little bit. I got him some water and helped him to sit up a bit to sit up and drink some.
"When you are feeling better." I muttered as his parents and Spencer returned. Brendon grinned at me, and he chatted with his parents and Spence. I went down to the cafeteria to get some food myself. I sat with a sandwich and a coffee. I messaged Moira and Tricia to let them know about Brendon.
'I hope he gets well soon.' Moira replied. Vic and Maya were relieved that Brendon would be ok. I called Vic and had my breakdown on the phone with her.
"I have never been so frightened Vic. I was thinking the worst." I sobbed into the phone.
"Shhh, Rob, he's ok, though. You need to focus on that part." Vic soothed.
"I know. I just,I guess I was running on adrenaline, and everything has hit me." I explained.
"Yea, that happens. Oh, Maya has asked me to be her birthing partner. " I had a lump in my throat.
"Omg, I am gonna start crying again." I laughed. "Has she spoken to her parents yet?" Vic went quiet. "That's a yes then, and I gather they didn't take it well."
"That's an understatement, Rob! Ro, they wanted her to get rid. Like now."
"Isn't she too far along?" I enquired.
"Mayas folks don't care about that. They are all about keeping face. Apparently, her mother said that if Maya didn't do it, then they would cut her off." Vic said.
"If they have done that, then she has us. We are her family. She won't be alone and she has a good job. Also, she needs to register for the baby shower. If she registers for stuff she really needs, then that brings some of the cost down." I disliked Mayas parents, the 2 times I have met them. Very snobby and looked down on most people. Her friends included. How Maya turned out to be such a gorgeous person, I do not know. She is the complete opposite of her parents. Maya doesn't see social status or their class. She just sees a person. She takes them at face value.
I hung up with Vic and headed back up to Brendons room. He was asleep. I sat with his parents and Spencer in the waiting room. I felt like I hadn't had that nap earlier. Again, I was exhausted.
"Robyn, why don't you get yourself home, honey? You look exhausted. " Boyd said. I nodded.
I went to say goodbye to Brendon, and Spencer asked if he could stay in our guest room tonight, and I saw no issue with that.
I got into my car. Spencer slid into the passenger seat. We headed home. I got in the bath and soaked. Afterwards, I lay in bed. I kept trying not to think about losing the love of my life. I thought I already had once, now again. I had a restless night's sleep. I just wanted to get up and go back to the hospital. I was so used to having Brendon next to me that it took a while to drift off.
The following day, Spencer and I got up and went straight to the hospital. We picked up coffee and doughnuts on the way there.
We rode the elevator to the ICU floor. As we turned the corner, one of the nurses caught up to us and explained that Brendon had been moved to a private room, further along the corridor. Spencer and I looked at each other with relief. We hurried past Brendons old room and down to his new one. Spencer opened the door, and we entered. Brendon was asleep. We were quiet and sat on the chairs provided. I texted Grace to let her know the latest development.
