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!)
The doctor looked at all of them and shook his head. "How Ms. Brett is still alive after that horrific accident I don't know, but...thankfully she pulled through surgery just fine, and I expect her to make a full recovery."
Relief swept across the waiting room like one big tsunami. Everyone turned and hugged one another. They were all so happy that their loved one was alive. "Oh thank God." Cried Casey as he closed his eyes and thanked God over and over again.
"What was wrong with her? They haven't told us anything about her condition." Commented Foster as she stood up out of her chair and hugged Kidd in excitement that their best friend was going to live.
The doctor looked at all of them and visibly cringed at thinking about how injured his patient was. "She had severe internal bleeding, broken ribs, and a concussion. We have been working on her from the very moment she was brought in, but it seems that in time she will make a full recovery."
"Can I see her?" Casey impatiently asked as he walked towards the doctor ready to see the woman he loved no matter what the man in front of him said.
"Of course, she's been awake on and off for about an hour now, but the rest of you should probably go home and visit Ms. Brett tomorrow; she needs her rest and by the looks of it all of you do too."
Reluctantly, everyone in the small waiting room except for Casey left, but not before they made him promise to call tomorrow and with any news or updates on their girl.
"Follow me, sir." Instructed the young doctor as he led Casey through the maze of hallways and to Brett's room.
Casey gasped at what he saw in front of him. The woman he loved with all of his heart and more, was laying in a hospital bed all black, purple, and blue with wires hooked up to her everywhere.
"Hey," Whispered Brett as she peaked her eyes open and smiled at the man she wanted to see more than anything in front of her.
Casey smiled while a single tear rolled down his face and onto his white captain's shirt, "Hi."
Brett slowly shook her head as tears started to fall, "Oh Casey, I was so scared. I didn't want to die."
Casey sat on her bed and gently pulled her into his arms, "Brett, I love you more than anything. I just kept thinking about how I couldn't live without you."
"Well, I'm here now." Whispered Brett as grabbed Casey's hand and placed it over her heart.
Both sat there for a moment in silence just enjoying how good it was to see each other.
"Marry me." Said Casey as he looked at her eyes with his hand still over her warm, beating heart.
"What?" Asked Brett with wide eyes.
"Marry me, Sylvie Brett."
"Casey, you can't ask me while I'm in a hospital. I was literally hit by a car today, and I look awful."
Casey shook his head, "Brett, you look perfect and if today proved anything to me it's that we need to live in the moment."
"Are you sure?" Whispered Brett as she watched Casey pull a black box out of his pocket and open it.
"Sylvie, I've never been more sure about anything in my life. I've actually been planning to ask you for a while, and I had a dream while you were in here that I did ask you."
"Yes."
Casey looked at Brett and smiled as tears started to fill both of their eyes, "Say it again."
"Yes, I...will marry you, Matthew Casey."
Matthew Casey decided then that waiting was by far the most hurtful part.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
