Shannon's P.O.V

"I will dance at our wedding, and I'll dance with our kids and our grandkids and all the times in-between!" I yells
"But what if-"
"No! No more fucking 'what ifs' you said that"
"You think we'll get married and have kids" She asked with a small smile
"Hell yeah! And they'll be great kids, and dancers just like you"
"You really know how to win an argument" She laughed while wiping her tears away
"I know how to charm you, will you give me a fucking hug" I say
"Mmhhmm" she moaned and ran over to hug me.
"Just...we just moved in with each other and I'm not ready to have someone coming out of my body yet" she joked.
"I know don't worry you don't have to do that yet" I laugh back

***2 weeks later***

Today is my first day of physical therapy, the doctor says it would be a long process for the leg to get used to the bolts. Cam offered to stay with me but I refused because I didn't want her to see me freak out when I start. My cast is off and my leg is now in a splint with the bolts connected to my leg. They wheel me into a room and I sit on the table.
"Hello Mrs. Beveridge, how are you?" A doctor says entering the room
"I'm good but call me Shannon, since your going to put me through hell I feel we should be on a first name bassist."
"Okay" he chuckled "I'm cliff I'll be the doctor helping you"
"Nice to meet you cliff"
"So today we're going to start with-"
"Spare me the details, the less I know the better" I cut him off
"Alright let's get started then. We're going to start kind of easy, what I want you to do is to lift your leg to my chest". I begin doing what cliff says, trying to lift my leg without using my hands, but it's not working. I can barley lift my leg up an inch, cliff tells me to keep trying and I do. We do that for about an hour until I can finally get my leg to his chest, I'm sweating buckets.
"Good Shannon good, next I need you to stand up" he orders
"I don't know cliff" I say
"Shannon come on we're one step closer to you being finished". I begin adjusting my leg so I can place it on the ground, I place my good leg on the ground and then the other. My leg collapses, I almost fall over but reach for a chair for support. Cliff tries to help me but I quickly shove him off, I start putting my leg back on the solid ground, once I finally get my leg on the found pain starts rushing through my leg and to my spin. I want to scream the pain is so bad, but instead I grind my teeth. The whole treatment lasted 6 more hours, I had to take a step, touch my toes, stand on the leg alone, it was all like I said in the beginning, Hell. A nurse walked in with a wheel chair, swear drips down my face like rain. The woman wheels me back into my room and I see cammie sitting on the bed looking nervous. She rushes to me.
"Hey you okay?" She asked "oh baby you stink"
"I know I need to take a shower" I admit
"How did it go?"
"It was okay, very difficult and frustrating but yeah it was okay"
"Good, did he say you did good?
"He said I did better than most people"
"Because your brave and strong" she flirts, I blush and lay on my bed "wow!"
"What" I ask
"I didn't think I could still make your cheeks get rosy"
"Well whenever you flirt I'll always blush Camden Scott" I say grabbing her hand and bringing her over to me.
"Well then I'll have to do it more often" she says staring at my lips
"But...then...it...won't....make...me....blush" I whisper in her ear.
"Oh...I will still be able to make you blush, it doesn't have to be flirting, I don't even talk and you'll blush"
"Oh really, why don't you try it out" I flirt, she leans in for a kiss, our noses touching. I can feel her breath on my lips, her eyelashes flutter against mine. She gets closer, closer, closer but then pulls away.
"Wait...what...?" I ask in confusion
"Hhmm? Oh yeah well, your going to have to earn that kiss. And let me tell you Shannon B it's going to be a great kiss"
"How about a sneak peek" I beg
"No" she said without hesitation "not until I feel you've earned it"
"Ugh! Cammie please I'm begging you for affection"
"Fine" she comes over and kisses my cheek "better"
"What no! I need some cammie sugar"
"Like I said you'll have to earn it"
"How? I'll earn it right now tell me what I have to do"
"Shannon" she says annoyed "you just have to earn it"

Cammies P.O.V

I don't know what I want her to do, I just want her to do something worthy enough for that kiss. She's gone through a lot of physical therapy, she always comes back so sweaty and red, which means she working her hardest. We can go home in a couple of days but Shan has to come back for her therapy. I start packing a little because I'm so eager to get out of here!

***2 days later (the day we leave)***

Shannon is all packed up and so am I, I sign the discharge papers while she talks to her therapist about her schedule. Once I'm finished signing Shan hopped into the wheelchair and a nurse led her outside, Shans mom had the car pulled up and started putting the bags into the car, but I couldn't move. I stared blankly at the car, I have no expression on my face, I just stand there staring at the car remembering what happened. Then Shan gets in and I start crying.
"Shan you need to get out!" I yell
"What cam its-"
"Shannon you need to get out of the car!" I say going up to the car
"Cammie no we're going home"
"Shannon get out of the car!!" I say yanking her out
"Cam ow! Stop were fine!"
"No we're not!!" I begin to full out sob "it's not safe in there you'll get hurt!!"
"Okay" she gets out of the car "I'm out I'm out. It's okay baby" she hugs me and I cry into her shoulder.
"I can't have you get hurt again" I admit
"Cammie, we'll sit together, we'll get through this together, okay?". I nod, I help her into the back seat first and then I go in, I start hyperventilating but Shan grabs my hand and I calm down. Once we all make sure Shannon put on her seatbelt her mom starts driving, every turn or stop we make I squeeze Shannon's hand tighter and close my eyes. We finally arrive home, I help Shan out of the car and get her to our room. Shans mom helps us get all settled in and then leaves.
"Cammie!" I hear from our room, I walk in and see Shannon lying on the bed patting the side next to her "can you cuddle me"
"I don't know, we have a lot of unpacking to do" I sigh
"But we're back in our normal sized bed, which means we can actually have good cuddles"
"Uh Shan I don't know....screw it well unpack tomorrow." I walk further into the room and put on some P.j.s, I climb right next to Shannon and giver her a cuddle hug, and she stinks!
"I can't do this anymore Shan!" I yell
"What are you talking about" she asks concerned
"You fucking smell babe" I laugh
"Oh, I thought you where going to break up with me!"
"I would never" I laugh
"Okay well your going to have to help me with my leg"
"Fine" I sigh jokingly, I start running the shower and help Shan undressing put a bag around her hand because she still has her cast on, when I help take off her pants she squints her eye in pain.
"Sorry" I say guilty
"No your fine, it's just a little sore" she says, I carful my finish taking her pants off and help her into the shower.
"Okay you good?" I ask
"No" she says humiliated "I can't bend over to wash myself and I can't wash my hair with one hand" she starts freaking out
"Okay then I'll help you with that too" I tell her
"Really?"
"Yes Shannon, it's not to difficult" I say undressing
"Thank you" she smiles
