chapter nine test results
It was early morning when a loud knock erupted the peaceful morning silence. It disturbed only Bucky, who was a light sleeper. Ray was still sound asleep on the other side of the bed, the covers wrapped around her body and stolen from Bucky's side of the bed.
The man sat up from the bed with sleep still on his mind. The knocking sounded again and he groaned in annoyance. "Just a second."
After putting on pants and a shirt, he stumbled towards the door. Using his metal arm, he pulled it open and looked down at the Princess.
"What?"
"Good morning to you too." Dr. Kanu spoke with half a smile. She was exhausted for different reasons then Bucky was. "The test results are in. I've been up all night. Please bring Ray to my medical room to go over them. It's serious." She told him.
"Okay, we will be there in a few minutes." Bucky nodded. His heart already began to race. He felt sick with nerves at the doctors words. She even looked sick; and that was what scared him the most.
When the doctor left and after Bucky closed the door, he knelt down beside her sleeping frame and admired her for a moment. He was scared that he would never one day see this again.
Ray's hair was a complete mess; as it had grown out since the last time he saw her. It was a mix between curls and knots from sleeping and tossing around; as she so often did.
Her eyes were slightly puffy from yesterday and even Bucky could see the pure exhaustion that she felt. He hated to have to wake her.
"Ray." At first it was a whisper and a gentle shack. Then, when that didn't work he shook her harder. "Ray, get the hell up."
"What?" She mumbled, her eyes barely opening. "Fuck off."
Bucky tried his best to smile, but really he was worried sick. "Doll, the doctor just came by. We need to go to her medical room. Your test results are in."
At his words, Ray opened her eyes again. She felt an immediate wave of nerves. "What?"
"Come on." He said sadly. "How's your back?"
Ray sat up, waiting to feel sore. But the pain didn't come and she figured that she was fine. "I'm fine."
Bucky nodded and took a step back to give her some room. Then, in an attempt to make her feel less nervous, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "You gonna get dressed?"
