Five Degrees

Chapter forty five

I ran into Gus' hospital room where he was growing restless by the second and sang at the top of my lungs (poorly) while dancing like a middle aged father would.

"Guess who's getting out the hospital today!?!"

Like a small child on Christmas Day, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and immediately started laughing at my dancing. Still looking like a fool I continued to spaz around the room, picking up pieces of our belongings and throwing them into a duffle bag.

"Am I really getting out of here?"

"Yes you are baby, we are going home and having your mothers roast"

"Yes! Just wait until you taste her turkey"

"I'm going to go get a nurse so we can get your IVs out"

As I went to turn around, Gus made a  'damn' noise but looked innocent when I faced him with a raised eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"It's not my fault you can't see your own ass in my yellow turtleneck, and that black belt really shows off your figure"

I blushed and continued to head out ,almost crashing into the nurse when my vans slipped on the marble floor. I'm not going to lie I'm very proud of myself, it was a male nurse who caught me and I wasn't nervous at all.

"I'm sorry, Mr Åhr in room E14 needs his IVs out. He's been discharged today"

The nurse gave me the 'lead the way' look as he followed me back to Gus' room, this was going to be a great day. My baby was getting out, we were going to have a killer lunch and he was going to see my surprise. It was going to have to wait till later though.

As the nurse took care of the IVs, I made sure I had packed everything up; leaving some of Gus' favourite clothes out for him to change into. Sitting on the now vacant bed while he was changing, the nurse came back in looking like he was expecting something.

"Can i help you nurse?"

"I was thinking that maybe I could take you out tonight? Obviously once your brother is settled back home"

"Brother? Gus is my boyfriend and I'm sorry to say that you are not my type"

"He doesn't have to know, just say you wanted to say thank you"

I'm glad I have a good poker face otherwise I would have given it away that Gus was in fact standing right behind him (fully dressed of course).

"Oh but i do know and the only way you'll be thanked is if my fist does the talking"

Believe me I haven't seen a man loose all colour in his face so quickly in my entire life. With a sheepish goodbye the nurse left the room and we burst out laughing as we headed out hand in hand; it was like nothing had happened.

"Hey Mamma!"

Once again Gus and Liza were in each other's arms, him clearly not noticing the three people also in the room. While those two were still embracing, I obviously went over and greeted the three in the mean time.

"Gussie, why don't you open your eyes?"

He looked over and his eyes were bigger than Jupiter at the sight of his favourite people.

"Grandma? Emma? Oskar?"

Another group hug commenced and I was unlucky enough to be caught in the middle of it. Gus' family (and Emma) where strong huggers; I think I felt a few ribs snap.
