pidge lay face down in a weirdly shaped hospital bed. tears were in her eyes as she couldn't move or speak. she felt nothing, cold nor pain. she felt scared. she was getting a metal spine. they'd have to remove every piece of bone with out damaging or touching her spinal cord. anything could go wrong at any time. she could die, be in a coma, or even be paralyzed forever.
she wanted her husband but they wouldn't let him come in. he had to wait in the lobby until the surgery was done. she wanted him by her side. she was scared, so scared. she couldn't stop crying.
Shiro paced back and forth, his hands gripped tightly around a cup of coffee. he was so worried. he paced more as time passed.
