"Waverly?" Nicole whispered as the youngest Earp rushed into the room, tears brimming her eyes.
"I'm right here baby, I'm here," Waverly cooed, placing her hands on either side of Nicole's face and kissing her forehead. Nicole smiled weakly and leaned into Waverly's touch.
"Did they get him?" the redhead asked as Waverly pulled away, a worried look in her eyes. "Is Wynonna and Dolls ok?" Waverly shook her head in wonder at this amazing woman. After just barely escaping death, she was so selfless that she was worried about other people. Waverly gently stroked Nicole's hair and scooted into the hospital bed beside her.
"They are physically fine, but they have all been worried about you. Wynonna hasn't even had a sip of whiskey, and you know what sober Wynonna is like," Waverly replied with a giggle. Nicole smiled a tired smile.
"I'm sorry," she said looking down, pressing her cheek into Waverly's palm.
"For what baby?" Waverly asked, her eyebrows knitting together.
"For worrying you. I didn't know that demon had a knife, I was just trying to get Wynonna out of the way," she explained.
"Nic, you don't have to apologise at all. You saved Wynonna's life and you came back to me, and that is all I can ask for," Waverly replied, leaning in to give her a kiss. Nicole's lips were dry and chapped, but she didn't care. They were still Nicole's lips, and they were perfect to Waverly. They continued their soft sweet kisses until they heard crash through the door.

"Haughtdamn! You're ok!" Wynonna exclaimed, rushing to the side of the bed where Nicole and Waverly layed next to each other. She sat down rather hard into the chair that her and Waverly had been sleeping in for the past week and a half and gently patted her forearm.
"I'm glad to see that you pulled through. And I'm sorry I didn't see what was going on. If I had been paying more attention-" Wynonna started, but Nicole interrupted.
"Wynonna, it's ok, you don't have to apologise. I'm just glad he's gone." Nicole gave her a smile, and Wynonna smiled back, trying not to tear up.
"Ok, well," she said standing up and clearing her throat, realizing just how much emotion she showed. "I have to go tell the boys how you're doing, I'm sure they will be anxious to hear you're alright. And I'm sure you two would like some alone time," she said, starting to walk out awkwardly.
"And by that you mean your going to Shorty's?" Waverly asked, laughing.
"You know me so well baby girl," Wynonna said, winking, spinning on her heel and briskly walking out the door, almost running into a nurse. Nicole chuckled under her breath.
"Glad to know I had such an effect on her," she said, smirking. Waverly gently nuzzled into Nicole's neck, careful not to touch her abdomen.
"She cares way more then she lets on," Waverly replied, sighing contently at being able to cuddle with her girlfriend again.
"I love you Waves," Nicole whispered, gingerly bringing her hand to Waverly's face, running her thumb over her cheek.
"I love you too Nic," Waverly said, planting a gentle kiss to Nicole's neck.
***************************
It was four days after Nicole woke up that she was allowed to go home, as long as someone stayed with her 24/7 and she came back to the hospital for a check up once a week until full recovery. Nicole was excited to get back to a normal routine at home, and Waverly was excited to spend time with her girlfriend without worrying about revenants or work. Wynonna said she and the boys would be on the clock taking care of the revenants so Nicole and Waverly wouldn't have to stress about it, and Nicole had a health leave from work. Plenty of time to get Nicole healed up. The first few days home at Nicole's place was very quiet, the two women mostly stayed in bed and slept. Nicole was still sore, and Waverly was exhausted from trying but failing to sleep in the hospital for so long.
"Hey Waves?" Nicole called sleepily from the bedroom. Waverly stood up from petting Calamity Jane in the living room and made her way to Nicole, padding in her bare feet.
"There you are you sleepy head," Waverly teased as she walked over to the side of the bed to kiss Nicole a good morning. Nicole sat up in bed and smiled at the adorable sight of her tiny girlfriend, wearing nothing but her work shirt, which looked like a dress on her, and her hair in a messy bun.
"Jane has been fed. She's finally accepting that I'm staying here and that I'm not a threat," Waverly giggled as she sat on the edge of the bed. Nicole smiled brightly, her dimples showing.
"Have I told you how much I love and appreciate having you here?" Nicole asked, trailing her finger up Waverly's bare thigh. Waverly shivered as she watched and felt Nicole's finger travel further up her thigh, slowly disappearing under the hem of Nicole's shirt.
"Many times," Waverly replied, leaning in slowly and barely brushing her lips against the redheads. "But you can tell me again." She then connected their lips in a deep kiss, making Nicole's eyebrows knit together and release a passionate sigh. Suddenly Waverly was being pulled on to Nicole's lap, and Waverly gasped, wrapping her arms around Nicole's neck, her legs on either side of Nicole's hips.
"Nic wait," she said, pulling back, worry lacing her eyes. "What if you get hurt?" Nicole kissed Waverly's neck, slowly moving her lips down to the neck of the shirt, then pulled on it with her teeth and letting it go.
"Then I guess we'll just have to go real slow..." Nicole drawled out, slightly and slowly grinding her hips up into Waverly's. Waverly's eyes fluttered closed and she moaned, licking her lips in anticipation of what was to come.
