What if?

Chapter Seven: Moved out of ICU

Kensi woke up in a new place, and there was no one there with her. Her leg was still in a brace, and so was her arm. The IV had morphine, which helped the pain. Just then, a nurse walked in,with a tray of bacon, eggs, and toast. She was dressed in pink scrubs, and her hair was long, curly blonde.

"Hello, Ms. Blye. I'm Ramsey Hatton, and I am your nurse, if you need anything, press that button on your right."

"Umm, I sorta can't use my arms to eat." She said with a chuckle.

"Oh! Of course, how stupid of me. I'll feed you."

"You don't have to do that," Deeks walked in, "I got this."

"Ok! Goodbye, Ms. Blye!"

"Deeks? Why are you here this early?"

"Well I'll have you know, it's actually 11:36 am. It's not that early."

"Have you been surfing?"

"Yea? Why?"

"You smell like salt and cologne. My favorite smell." She tried to move, so she would be sitting up. She barely moved, so Deeks ran over,

"I'll help you." Deeks said, helping her scoot back and up in the bed.

"Thanks." She smiled.

"No problem. Now do you want bacon and eggs?"

"I'll take the bacon. I don't like hospital eggs, they're powdered." Deeks mouthed the word "ok" and started helping her eat the bacon. Then, he sat down and turned on the tv. The news was talking about her car wreck still, as it happened only a few days ago, apparently more people than just her were injured in the wreck. It was in the middle of an intersection, and so many other cars started going before they realized what happened. But Kensi was hurt the most.

"Deeks. Do we have to watch this?"

"No," he turned it off, "what do you wanna do?"

"Well, there's not much I can do, how's work?"

"It's ok. Nell has been going out in the field with me."

"That's good."

"Yea. Here, I'm going to scoot you over."

"Deeks?!" Kensi had a weird look on her face, "what are you doing?"

"Getting in the bed with you. We can watch Netflix on my phone."

"Deeks. If a nurse or dr. comes in here, you're going to be in trouble."

"Well I'll tell them I'm your husband, so I'm family." He pointed at the ring.

"Deeks," she laughed, "that's a gumball machine ring."

"What? How'd you know?"

"Well, for starters, it's plastic. And the jewel is loose." She showed moving the jewel around." Deeks finally got Kensi's body over to the right, and he was able to sit down.

"What you wanna watch?" He said pulling his phone out.

"I don't feel like watching tv right now."

"Ok. Have you tried to move your legs?"

"No, it's still to much pain to try."

"Oh." Then, Dr. Rolings walked in.

"Um, sir. You need to get off the bed."

"Ok." Deeks made a sad face, and got up.

"Ms. Blye."

"You can call me Kensi."

"Kensi, how are you feeling?"

"I've been better, I need a bath or shower."

"Well due to how many cuts and how immobile you are, that's impossible."

"Ok."

"Have you tried to move?"

"He's moved me." She pointed her right hand at Deeks.

"Well, that's ok, after the first twenty four hours, you're chance of being paralyzed went down to 30%. Now it's been 3 days, and if you aren't paralyzed, then there is a 0% chance that you will be. Do you want to try to move your leg?"

"I guess." Kensi started to move her right leg, and it hurt from the cuts, but she could move it. Then she attempted her left leg. She could only move it from her waist because of the brace. It hurt like heck to move it, but she could move it, barely.

"I can move it!!!" A huge smile crept across Kensi's face.

"Congratulations, Kensi."

"Thank you, Dr. Rolings."

"If you need anything, press the button."

"Ok."
