"Drew?" Rikki says sleepily.

"Yeah?" I answer and he sits up.

"You've gotta sleep, you'll end up killing yourself." He says and I sigh. "The surgery is gonna be a breeze in a week or so."

I lay down beside Rikki and his arms wrap around me. I wrap my arms around his chest and rest my head on his shoulder. I kiss his collarbone and I close my eyes. He'll worry if I don't try to sleep.

I know this place, it's my doctor's office. My knee isn't braced and I'm not on crutches. I sit on the chair in front of her desk. I look around the room, posters against drinking and smoking fill the walls. I take a deep breath, Christ, I could go for a drink right about now.

I hate the doctors. I'm not quite sure why, I guess that it was one of my earliest memories. Well the ambulances and the paramedics to be more specific. But the doctor had the honour of telling me that my family died. I was sitting on the bed, I was so small  in it. He just straight up told me. "Your mother, father, and brother all died from survive burns." Maybe that's why I don't like doctors, they were the bearer of bad news.

My doctor, Dr. Kelly, she's blonde and doesn't look old enough to be a doctor but I think she's in her thirties. She sits behind the desk and smiles at me.
"Hi Drew, how are you feeling today?"
"The knee is doing better, I just need your clearance." I laugh. "Ready to give it to me, doc?"
"That's what I called you in about. I can't give you clearance to play rugby." She sighs and I frown.
"Doc, my need is back to normal. Better than ever."
"Yes but I can't let you play a contact sport if you're pregnant." Dr. Kelly says and my heart drops.
"Pregnant?" I wonder and my mouth hangs open.

My eyes jerk open and I push myself up. Rikki groans and opens his eyes.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He yawns and rubs his eyes.

"Nothing." I lie. "My knee is just killing me."

Rikki must be pretty damn tired because usually he catches me when I lie like that. I throw my legs over the side of the bed and walk over to my rugby bag. Rikki makes a face while I walk over without crutches. I grab my hardcore painkillers and swallow a couple.

"You shouldn't be walking on that leg until you have the surgery." Rikki tells me and I sigh.

"I'll be fine." I promise him. "I love you."

"You're being nice, what's wrong?" He wonders and I laugh.

"I'm hurt Rockett, I can't just be nice." I ask and he smiles.

"You're Drew, you're not nice. That's why I'm in love with you." Rikki says as I sit at he end of the bed. "Why'd you wake up just then? You weren't screaming like usual."

"I told you, my knee hurt." I say and Rikki groans.

He lays down so his is buried in my thighs. Rikki then rolls over so he's looking up at me.

"Y'know, I like when you wear my shirts, baby girl." He says.

I look at my shirt, I've always slept in Rikki's clothes. I wear a black Rolling Stones shirt that's huge on me. I bend over and press my lips to his quickly.

"I love you." I say again.

"I love you to. But I still think you're being too nice to be my girlfriend." Rikki states and I make a face.

Rikki sits up and pulls me onto his lap so that I'm straddling him (which only hurts a little bit). His hands are up the front of my shirt and my arms are wrapped around his shoulders. We make out pretty intensely and I hear muffled arguments. I pull away and Rikki starts to kiss my neck.

"Just ignore them." Rikki mumbles. "Bobby probably just slept with Bret's hooker."

"Yeah, yeah." I agree and pull his face back up to mine.

My shirt quickly gets dropped to the floor and Rikki starts to kiss my chest. That's about the time we hear.

"Drew!!"

Rikki grumbles and pulls away.

"I'm going to kill them." He mumbles.

I get off Rikki and pull on my shirt. I walk out into the main part of the hotel. Bobby and CC are standing with the he couch in between them. Snowy leans in the doorway of her and CC's room wearing one of CC's shirts. I sigh. They are banging. CC and Bobby boy turn to look at me.

"Where are your crutches?" CC asks and Rikki comes up beside me.

"I've got them." He says and hands them to me.

"CC is banging Snow! She's like 17!" Bobby states and I look over to CC.

"I'm not gonna lie, Drew." CC sighs. "Just don't let him kill me." I roll my eyes.

"Snowy? What do you think of all this?" I wonder and her eyes grow. "I'll let it be and so will Bobby if you say so."

"I never--" Bobby starts and I glare at him. "Fine. Me to."
