Recovery

This chapter is probably going to be a little boring ;P lol because as the title says its just going to be Emily recovering. So ya but Enjoy!

Emily's POV

I woke up feeling...better. I was so thankful. The surgery must have went well. I looked around and saw I was in a different room and yet the same. Same white walls, a Tv and a chair in the corner. In which Daniel was asleep. I swallowed and felt something weird. I looked down and saw two tubes pertruding from my throat. What the..? I was surprised I didn't see this earlier. It was quite big, and the two tubes went above my head; I guess so it wouldn't be in the way, and connected to a big machine. I surprisingly had no clue what it was so I decided I was going to wake Daniel up to ask what this was and what was happening now.

But..I-I couldn't. I tried to speak but my throat hurt and all I heard was air. Daniel? Daniel!

Before I couldn't speak right and now I cant speak at all?!

I tried to get out of bed to shake Daniel awake. I had just stood up when I felt, and heard, something pop. Immediately I couldn't breathe. The two blue tubes had popped out of...out of a hole in my throat? There was a round piece of hard plastic that was keeping a hole open in my neck/throat. The tubes must have been attatched but now they weren't. I couldn't breathe. I tried and tried again to suck in air but I just couldn't! I was trying so hard I became lightheaded and dizzy. I started to fall forward. I held my throat with one hand and with the other I grappled for something to lean on. The night stand was on the other side of the bed so I tried for the wall. I missed and fell. I was in pain. I wasn't in pain because of the fall, but because I just. Couldn't. Breathe. My chest was now hurting and I was going to black out. I could already feel it. I tried to yell to wake Daniel up but when I looked at him He was already awake. Wide eyed and frightened he reached out to me.

Daniel's POV

"You're what?! You're pregnant! Ems that's amazing!"

"Do you really think so? I mean do you think we're ready?"

Oh my gosh, yes! I'm so happy!" I leaned in and we kissed. When I pulled back I saw her smiling face turn to a serious one.

"Daniel...you need to wake up NOW." I just stared at her.

"Ems...what are you talking about?"

"Daniel, please." she started to cry. "Just wake up! Get up Daniel!" when I just stared back at her blankly she slapped me.

I awoke with a start and rubbed my face where Ems had slapped. Wow, that was a crazy dream. I sat up and looked over at Emily...Except she wasn't there. Then I saw her lying against the wall struggling to breathe. She was pale and looked dizzy; unstabble. I went to help her stand up and get back onto the bed but she mouthed, 'Get Help!' I left her lying there and ran out into the hall.

"Someone please help! Her trach thing...it came out she cant breathe!" two nurses responded to my plea and came running over. When I went back in the room Emily was in the same position except her head was now on the floor, her body was limp and her eyes were almost shut. She had blacked out.

The nurses ran over and lifted her up and onto the bed. "Miss...ma'am wake up. You NEED to stay with us. DON'T go to sleep." One nurse shook Ems and lightly tapped her on the face trying to get her to wake up. The other hooked Ems tubes back up so she could breathe again. After about the longest 10 seconds of my life Emily's eyes opened slowly and she looked around; dazed. She tried to speak and all I heard was air. The nurses explained to her that she couldn't talk because she had a tracheotomy. They also explained what a tracheotomy was. She looked like she understood them and she nodded.

"You can come off the trach as soon as you start to breath on your own. You'll know when that happens because you will start to choke. The reason for choking is because you're body is trying to do what's natural to it and the trach is messing it up. When you're choking just a call nurse in here and she'll help you, ok?" we both nodded. "For now I'll get you a pen and paper so you two can talk. I'll be back." the two nurses walked out.

"Don't worry Ems you'll be off the trach and back home in no time. Promise." I kissed her on the forehead. A nurse came back with pen and paper and Ems started writing.

'How are you?'

I looked at her and tears streamed down my face. She looked sorry and wrote, 'What's wrong?!' I read it.

"Oh, no Ems...these are happy tears." I smiled and continued. "I feel like I haven't communicated with you in ages and to see this..." I pointed to the paper "I am so happy right now. How are you?"

'I am doing fine for the circumstances. I just want to go home already.' she started to tear up. I gave her a big hug and said, "Dont worry you'll be home soon." I planted three kisses on her forehead. "Hey I have some visitors for you. I'll be right back."

I walked out and found Charlotte them half asleep. I gently tapped Charlotte's shoulder. "Hey Char? Charlotte." she looked up at me with sleepy eyes.

"Daniel, what is it?" I could hear worry on ber voice.

"Ems is awake. She's waiting to see you guys." she smiled big and wide, quickly stood up and woke Jack and Declan. They too had smiles on their faces as I lead them to Ems room.

When I walked in I saw Ems face just brighten up. She smiled and waved at Charlotte them. "She cant talk so she has a paper." I said and sat down and let the 4 of them talk. Charlotte and Jack sat on either side of Emily's bed and Declan leaned against the door frame.

"Emily I am so glad you're ok. I was so worried for you. Do you remember what happened yet?" Jack asked.

She quickly scribbled something down. She held up the paper and Jack read, 'No. Doctors say I might not remember it ever.' I read it too and knew she just totally covered for me. I smiled at her.

Jack hugged her and said, "Well all that matters is that you're ok."

Then Charlotte hugged her. "Emily when you get out of here and we get home. I'm going to cook you two-" she pointed at her and me. "a big dinner. I bet you're hungry you haven't eaten in AGES!" she said over dramatizing the word ages. We laughed and Ems wrote 'LOL thank you.' with a smiley face.

We all sat around and talked for about 20 mintues. Jack and Declan said they were going to go home and offered Charlotte a ride. She accepted and the three of them hugged Emily goodbye.

I was sitting there and we were both watching Giligan's Island where the ship is lost at sea and the survivors live on an Island. Its a comedy so every once in awhile I would hear Ems laugh...well I'd actually just hear air.

It was 30 minutes later and the show was about to end when there was a funny part and I laughed and heard Ems air. But her 'air' sound continued. She started choking and pointed to me to get a nurse. Yes! she could breathe on her own! We'd be out of here in no time. I ran out and got a nurse. As she ran in I told her the situation and what the other nurse had said. So she took off the trach and placed her finger on the plastic ring in Emily's throat. So that she could get the air Emily breathed into her lungs and not out the hole. Emily coughed and sputtered until she finally could breathe normally. The doctor removed her finger and placed a small cover over it instead.

"Alright Mrs.-"

"Thorne." I said.

"Mrs. Thorne I'm going to take out the ring and put a patch over your hole so it can start to heal ok?" she nodded.

The nurse did exactly what she said and told Emily, "Alright sweetie all done. No you wont be able to talk right away. Not for at least a couple more hours. Sometimes it can even take days to get your full voice back. So dont worry if you don't sound like yourself just yet. I'll double check but I'm sure you can leave once your doctor comes in and does a checkup. So you'll be out of here in no time." Ems nodded and as the nurse walked out she patted Emily's leg and said, "Have a hood one, Kay, honey?" and left the room with a smile.

I looked at her and smiled. "We're going home...'Honey'" she cracked a smile and mouthed, half whispered, the words 'I love you.' I leaned close and whispered, 'I love you first.'
