Chapter 13

Naomi woke up to a steady beeping noise. She groaned. It was her phone telling her to get up. Naomi opened her eyes to see her uncle and his wife sitting in chairs. They were both looking at her.

"Uncle Dean?" She sleepily said "Aunt Julie? What are you doing here?"

"You're awake!" Dean yelled joyfully "She's awake,"

"Dean, you're going to wake all the sleeping babies in the hospital," His wife scolded him.

"What are you doing?" Naomi asked again. She took in her surroundings. It was then that she figured out where she was and why.

"I got hurt didn't I?"

"You were shot in your right arm Naomi," Her uncle told her "You've lost a lot of blood and well, we don't know the full extent of the damage caused by the bullet and surgery," A female doctor came through the door.

"Hello Agent Winchester, my name is Doctor Megan Greenwood, glad to see you're awake," She said "How are you feeling this afternoon?"

"Well I guess I was a bit confused when I woke up but I think I'm fine. What about Gordon and Scott? What happened to them?"

"Gordon Tracy is recovering from a few bruises and a possible concussion plus serve dehydration. Scott Tracy and the rest of the family are fine,"

"Would Naomi be able to have visitors? I know from experience that Virgil and Scott will want to come and see my niece," Dean asked "Virgil's her boyfriend and Scott's been her best friend for years,"

"Normally we wouldn't but they've been driving me crazy," Naomi weakly laughed "Who would you like to see first?"

"Scott," Naomi replied. Dr Greenwood left the room. She shortly returned with the tall black haired Tracy.

"Hey Naomi," Scott said, smiling at his friend.

"Hey Scott," Naomi smiled back "Uncle Dean, Aunt Julie? Could you give us some privacy please? Go do the whole protective dad speech on Virgil,"

"Of course," Julie said as she dragged her husband out of the room.

"How are you feeling Naomi?" Scott asked.

"Better. How's Virgil?"

"You don't want to know about Gordon or me?"

"Oh Doctor Greenwood told me about Gordon and I knew you'd be alright,"

"Now Naomi, I'll be back in a few hours to change your bandage," Dr Greenwood told her patient

"Well Virgil's worried out of his mind," Scott said as he watched the doctor leave the room. Naomi saw the look on his face. She had seen it a few times on his face while they were at high school. She had seen it on Virgil's face when they went on their dates. Her friend was falling in love.

"Of course he is. His girlfriend got shot in the arm and is in hospital. I mean besides being completely in love with me and worried out of his mind,"

"He's fine I guess,"

"And you? I mean you saw your brother beaten and bruised and your best friend get shot. That's got to mess up your head,"

"It's nothing compared to what I saw in the Air Force,"

"True," Naomi agreed, thinking about all the things she had seen while on duty "Can you please get Virgil?"

"Of course, don't do anything while I'm gone,"

"Okay, I won't," Once Scott left the room and was out of sight, Naomi's eyelids started dropping. And soon she was sleeping once more.

Virgil was in the room when Naomi opened her eyes again.

"I feel asleep didn't I?"

"You look cute when you're sleeping," Naomi blushed

"Sorry for getting shot,"

"Hey, you saving my little brother. You were doing your job and your job just comes with a lot more hazards than others,"

"So your job doesn't have hazards?"

"Just a bit more," Naomi laughed.

"So how's Gordon?"

"He's doing fine. He'll be discharged in a few days and then he'll be sitting at home for a few weeks doing nothing,"

"That's good,"

"What about you?"

"Well we don't know the full extent of the damage to my arm. I hope it's not too bad. I'd hate to have to learn how to write again," Virgil laughed

"Maybe you'd like to spend your recovering on a tropical island. I hear sun works wonders,"

"We'll see but I won't be coming for Christmas and New Year's that's for sure. I've got a New Year's party to attend. My work place has decided that this year we're having a party to bring in the New Year,"

"That's cool,"

"You want to spend a few days in Washington DC to help me adjust over Christmas? I have a plus one for the party,"

"I'd love to be your plus one," Virgil got up and kissed his girlfriend. Naomi kissed him back.

"So what's up with the good Doctor Greenwood and your brother?"

"You've noticed it too?"

"Virgil, I've seen the look on his face a few times. I've seen it on your face. There's defiantly feelings there,"

"Well she did just save your arm,"

"True. I hope they don't have some kind of awkward sexual tension when we leave this hospital,"

"You're planning something aren't you?"

"Of course I'm planning something,"

After three days in hospital, Dr Greenwood discharged Naomi. Because of the bullet, part of Naomi's right arm was shattered. She wasn't allowed to go to work for a few months and then nothing more serious that doing paperwork. Scott knocked on the door to Naomi's hospital room.

"I hear that you're leaving back to the capital?" He asks jokingly. Dr Greenwood quickly turned away to face one of the monitors that had been hooked up to Naomi at one point. Naomi could have sworn that she saw Scott blush a little.

"Yeah, Uncle Dean and Aunt Julie are coming for Christmas. But since neither of them are here at this moment, I was wondering if you could take my stuff down to the car,"

"Of course," Scott smiled and picked up Naomi's backpack. He quickly left.

"Okay Doc, between two girls – not a FBI Agent and a Doctor – that boy likes you," Naomi addressed the elephant in the room "And I think you like him too,"

"H-How did you know?"

"Well it's my job to see if people are lying. I can normally tell what people are feeling. Plus I've known Scott since I was six. He's my best friend and I've seen similar looks on his face back when we were in High School. It's also pretty close to the look on my boyfriend's face when he sees me," Naomi told Dr Greenwood "Write down your number, I'll give it to him," Dr Greenwood smiled. She quickly did just that and handed it over to Naomi.

"Thanks,"

"No problem and thank you for saving my arm. I doubt I would even have it if it wasn't for you,"

"It's what I do," Dr Greenwood "I hope to see you around,"

"So I do I. Goodbye Dr Greenwood,"
