Casey's life is changed in an instant. Can he wait? What's happened to Brett? Will she be okay? - This is an updated version of a story I already posted. (For Brett and Casey lovers!)
"Brett?" Questioned Casey as he fluttered his eyes open and saw her leaning over him on their soft, white bed.
"Hey, sorry to wake you, but you seemed to be having a pretty awful dream." She soothed as she took her hand and swiped it through his messy sandy-blonde hair that seemed to be going every which way.
"Wait...you're here?" Questioned Casey as he sat up in bed and reached out to touch her silky, soft hair and face.
Brett looked at Casey like he was crazy, "Yeah, where else would I be?" She questioned as she tried to hide a small laugh at seeing her man like this with his hair still looking crazy.
"I...I don't know, I thought you were in the hospital, you had been run over while you were out on a call." Casey looked around their room not believing where he was or more importantly who he was with.
"Are you running a fever or something?" Asked Brett as she placed her warm fire-like hands on his forehead.
Casey didn't answer her question he just suddenly reached out and pulled Brett into a monster hug that seemed to have all of the strength of the world in it.
"Whoa," She practically yelled as she felt herself being lifted off of the bed and into the cozy arms of the man she loves.
Casey never wanted to let her go, she felt like a warm fire on a cold, blustery night.
"I love you, Sylvie Brett."
Brett laughed and tilted her head so that she was still in his arms, "Honey, I love you too, but you're scaring me. Are you sure you're feeling okay?"
Casey smiled, "Sorry, that dream just felt so real. It was horrible; I didn't know if you would be okay or if I would ever get to see you again."
"Oh, Casey you don't have to worry about that. I'm right here." Whispered Brett as she took Casey's hand and placed it on her heart.
Casey sighed with relief at feeling the thump, thump under his hand.
Brett put her hand on his cheek and looked in his eyes, "Hey, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."
Casey nodded, then softly kissed her smooth plump lips.
"Hey, stay right there. I have to get something." Said Casey as he hurriedly pulled the covers off of his legs and rushed out of the bed.
Brett giggled as she watched the man she loves rush out of the room.
Casey ran into his living room and walked over to the dresser Brett insisted be put by the front door. He opened it and carefully pulled out the velvet, black box he had hidden in there for months now.
"Matt, what are you doing? Come back to bed! It's nice and warm in here!"
Casey looked at the box in his hand and grinned.
"Babe, what were you doing?" Asked Brett as she saw Casey walk back into their room with his strong arms behind his back.
"I...ugh...I have a surprise for you."
"Oh, yeah," Sweetly asked Brett as she wondered what her man was up to on this bright, early morning.
Casey smiled, "Okay, come to the edge of the bed and close your eyes."
"Are you trying to trick me, Mr. Casey?"
Casey let out a little laugh as he watched her scoot to the edge and close her eyes. Casey took a breath before he pulled his arm in front of him and got down on one knee.
"Okay, open your eyes." Whispered Casey as he watched her flutter her eyelashes and slowly open her beautiful crystal eyes.
Brett gasped as soon as she saw what was in front of her, "Casey..."
Casey shook his head, "No, Brett know is the perfect time for me to do this. I love you so much and I don't wanna waste another minute. You are my everything. What do you say? Will you marry me?"
Brett looked at the man in front of her and threw herself off of the bed and into his arms.
"Is that a yes?" Laughed Casey.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
It was then that Casey pulled Brett closer in his arms and gave her the kiss of a lifetime. A kiss that would never be forgotten and never duplicated again because of the greatness of it.
But when Casey opened his eyes from the kiss all he saw was white. White walls, white floors, and plum-colored hospital chairs. Casey groaned and threw his head back as soon as he realized it was a dream. Just a dream and nothing more. How he had lost the battle and let himself fall asleep, he didn't know.
"Casey, are you all right?" Asked Mouch before he leaned over and inspected the young fire captain before him
Casey nodded trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes, "Has anyone stopped by?"
Everyone around him simply shook their head causing Casey to groan and shake his head.
"Maybe we need to ask them if they have any updates?" Inquired Ritter as he sat down his tray of coffees he was carrying.
"Foster just did. She said the doctor would come to see us as soon as they were done." Said Kidd as she took her black coffee out of Ritter's tray.
Casey threw his head back on the chair and prayed for what felt like the thousandth time that day.
"Hey, Casey do you wanna take a walk?" Asked Severide as he stood up from his chair and walked over to Casey. "Come on, man it will be good to stretch your legs."
"You'll call if you hear anything?" Questioned Casey as he looked at the group in front of him.
Everyone nodded their heads and watched the two great friends walk down the hallway.
Herrmann got up out of his seat and went to sit next to Boden, "Chief, If...If she doesn't make it through this...you think he'll be okay?"
Boden looked at Herrmann and Immediately shook his head, "No, I don't."
Both men nodded their heads and went back to chanting prayers over and over again in their heads.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
