Sheldon X Reader

Chapter 17: I got you

"Is she up yet?" We both turn to see Sheldon, he holds a shit tone of balloons, flowers, some stuffed animals, and a frozen yogurt. "Oh, uh I'm sorry." Sheldon apologizes. Jackson walks to the door as Sheldon walks in. "It's fine I was just leaving." He says and he walks out. Sheldon quickly walks over to me. "Y/n are you okay?" "Yes Sheldon I'm okay." I stretch a little. "What is all this?" "Oh well I didn't know what to get you so I got as much as I could carry." He sets it all down and comes to my side. He looks around paranoid. "Sheldon calm down, I know you don't like hospitals." I say as I softly take his hand in mine. He looks down at me. My thumb softly strokes the back of his hand. I look down at his feet. Blush rises on my face. "Jackson told me what you did Sheldon." "What did I do?" "He told me that you came to my rescue, carried me to the car and drove me, even though." I slowly look up as I talk. My eyes meet his. "You don't drive and on top of that, you don't like hospitals." "While all that maybe true, it may not show but, y/n, I care about you deeply." I softly smile as I look into those deep beautiful eyes. "Thank you, Sheldon." I whisper as I sit up enough to plant a kiss on his cheek. I lay back down and move my bed so I'm sitting. "So is that for me?" I smile and point at the frozen yogurt. "Oh yes it is." He says as he gets it for me. "I thought you might be hungry when you woke up and I know how much you like frozen yogurt." "You remember that?" I say as I take the container. "I only mentioned that once and that was around when we first met." He smiles. "Well I pay attention to things you say." We laugh and talk about whatever while I enjoy my frozen yogurt. "Sheldon?" "Yes?" "I have to pee." "Oh well I suppose you need help." "Not that much though, I'm already in my underwear." "Okay well here." He move the covers off my legs and he stops. "Do I have permission to touch you." I giggle. "Yes, Sheldon, you don't have to ask." He scoops me up in his arms and I wrap my arms around his neck. I'm glad I wore my cute panties. He opens the door and he sets me on the toilet. He stands there. "Uh Sheldon... do you mind?" "No go ahead." "Sheldon can you just wait outside the room?" "Fine." He leaves. I slip my undies down and do my stuff. I wipe and flush. I pull my undies back up. "Sheldon." He comes in and he moves me to the sink. He holds my sides as I stand on one foot. I don't want to strain my leg. I dry my hands and he picks me back up. "Thank you." He sets me down. "Covers?" "No I'm good." I grab the remote and turn the tv on. While we watch I keep looking over at him. "Sheldon?" "Yes?" "How long am I staying here?" He looks at me. "Most likely a day or two, I could maybe talk them into letting me take care of you at the apartment." "Could you? I don't like hospitals either." "I know they're so germ infested." "Not for that reason Sheldon." "What reason then?" "Well I spent a lot of my childhood in the hospital." I look down at my lap holding back tears. "My mother was in the hospital for 2 and a half years fighting cancer." A tear slips. I feel Sheldon's hand on mine. He softly holds it and gives it a little squeeze. "I sat there in that room every second of every day." I gulp. "I refused to leave her, even after she passed." I suddenly feel him sit on the bed next to me and his arms wrap around me. My hands softly clutch his shirt. I softly sob into his chest. He strokes my hair and tells me I'll be okay. I calm down after a while. "Thank you Sheldon. For everything." "You're welcome." I look up at him. I slowly bring my face closer to his. "Hello." I hear the doctor say. Sheldon stands and walks over. "Listen doctor is there any way I could take her home and keep an eye on her there? She doesn't really like hospitals." "Well I suppose I could arrange that but you'll have to make sure you give her her this every 2-3 hours." "I can manage that." The doctor discusses the paperwork with Sheldon and he leaves Sheldon to fill it out. "What does it say?" "Well, I'll have to stay at your place with you for a few days, I won't be able to go to work either." "Oh I'm sorry." "It's fine, ensuring your safety is more important." "Thanks." I go back to the Tv and at some point Sheldon leaves to turn in the paperwork. Damn. I have to pee again. I look around and sigh. I slowly turn and place both my feet on the floor. I stand and put all my pressure on my other leg. I slowly attempt to hop/limp to the bathroom. I try and grab the shelf for support but I fail. I let out a loud yelp as I fall. I immediately see Sheldon run into the room. He rushes over to me. "Y/n! Are you okay!?" He says as he lifts me up. "You should t be getting out of bed on your own." He sounds annoyed. "I'm sorry, I needed to pee." "Here." He sets me on the toilet. He steps out side. I quickly get it done and I hobble to the sink myself. He comes in when I run the water. "Hey." He walks up to me. "Stop trying to get places on your own." He holds me so I don't fall. "I'm here for that." He carries me back out and the doctor is waiting with a wheelchair. "Well Y/n, it seems you can go home now." "Thank you." Sheldon helps me in the chair and I get my clothes back. The doctor leaves and Sheldon closes the door. Sheldon helps me slips my shirt on over my bandages. I  slip my shorts over my legs in the chair. Sheldon helps me stand up and he pulls my shorts the rest of the way up. I sit back down and he ties the balloons to the chair. He hands me all the flowers and stuffed animals. I'm so keeping these forever. He wheels us out to the parking lot and I see Penny waiting. "Hey Penny, what are you doing here?" She opens the door and we all get in the car. "Well, Sheldon called, He didn't want to take you home on the bus." "Oh okay." The ride home was just chitchat about what I missed.
