*Andy's POV*
Emberly's surgery lasted 11 hours. I sat in the waiting room with CC, both of us nervous wrecks. We were going stir crazy by the time Dr. Purdy and Dr. Ramsay came out to give us the news. I stand with CC right behind me.
"She made it. We won't know if there are any lasting deficits until she wakes up. You're welcome to go up and see her. She's in the same room. I'll be in to check on her in a while." He smiles as I shake his hand. Then, CC and I hurry up to her room.
She looks so small in the bed, almost like a corpse. Her skin is deathly pale and she is hooked up to all sorts of tubes and wires. She is breathing on her own and her head is wrapped in clean white gauze. I sit next to her and take her hand in mine. Fear is gripping at my stomach. What if there's something wrong? What if she can't speak when she wakes up? I feel a hand come down on my shoulder and look up to see CC looking down at me gently.
"You're shaking, Dr. Biersack." He informs me. I nod.
"I'm afraid. I want her to be herself. What if something went wrong?" I ask him. His brown eyes are kind.
"I understand. I'm scared, too. I feel like I'll lose a part of myself if she isn't ok." He explains. I know exactly how he feels.
"She and I just made up. I just found out about her cancer. I've never loved someone as much as I love her." I admit. A new voice joins in our conversation.
"I love you too, Andy." Fingers tighten around my hand.
"Emberly!" I shift my gaze to the girl in the hospital bed.
"I'll go get Dr. Ramsay." CC says, leaving the room.
"Are you ok?" I ask her.
"I have a killer headache." She complains. I laugh in relief.
"You scared me to death, Em." I scold her. She smiles slightly, her eyes meeting mine.
"I'm sorry. For everything." She admits.
"Shhhh. Babygirl, it's ok." I promise her. "You just need to focus on getting better, ok?" She nods slightly. CC returns with the oncologist right behind him.
"Give me the room, please guys. I need to examine Emberly. You can come back in as soon as I'm done." He tells us. CC and I leave, each happy that Emberly is seemingly ok.
*Emberly's POV*
Dr. Ramsay checks the incisions site before rewrapping my head. He starts a morphine drip before leaving. Soon Andy comes back in. I smile at him, the drugs making me feel loopy.
"Where's CC?" I pout. He chuckles.
"He had to go. He said he'll come back later." Andy assures me. I nod.
"Andy." I slur, the drugs starting to pull me under.
"Yes, my love?" He asks, caressing my face.
"Marry me." I whisper before the blackness consumes me completely.
