Wayhaught Love

Widow's Bite

Waverly POV

After Tucker almost kidnapping me and finding out Rosita was a Revenant we headed back to home.

The next morning I headed to Shortys to meet Rosita. She got me my drink then headed for the basement to get something. A little while later she came back up to the bar. "You lock shit up, you think that people would say out of it." Rosita says making her way around the bar.

"What boyfriend people." I said.

"Decidedly non-boyfriend people." Rosita stared. "Never mind." She grabbed us another drink. "Either stop staring at me like a midway attraction or pony up 5 bucks for admission."

"Sorry rude." I said. "Okay here's to you. Who saved my life. Who happens to be...."

"Say it." Rosita said.

"A Revenant. God so weird." I said which we chuckled at. We clinked glasses and took a sip. "You're such an awesome person."

"So you gonna give me a head start?" Rosita asked. "Before you tell Wynonna about me."

"Oh no I don't... I'm not going to." I said.

"Not even Nicole." Rosita said.

"Nicole oh god Nicole." I said texting my head down on the bar. "That text was so awful. She's gonna need space."

"Screw space. You need to get up in her face and make it right. I gave a guy space once. Took up with his best friend. And he was on Wyatt's shit list." Rosita said. "Worst second date ever."

"Do you think she's up yet?" I asked.

"Ms piss in her pants is probably doing a sun salutation as we speak." Rosita replied. "But she'll open the door for you. No matter what time." I finished my drink and headed over there.

Nicole POV

Waves had finally texted me back and when I read it my heart broke.  Did she really think that, I only wanted to protect her.  God I was so stupid.  I went out and got a bottle of whisky which I drank that night.  I crashed in bed late and fell asleep.  The next morning I woke showered and got dressed and vacuumed my room to distract myself.  I had just finished the downstairs when I heard a knock, I went to answer it secretly hoping it was Waves. I opened it to widow Mercedes she through me back and tried to strangle me asking for the third seal. I told her I had know clue where it was.  At that Waverly busted in and fought off the widow.  I tried to grab my gun but the widow was over Waverly so I leapt over the couch grabbed the widow from behind.  The last thing I remember was being bitten and Waverly rushing to my side.

Waverly POV

I rushed Nicole's side she gripping her wrist as pulled out my phone to call an ambulance.  As I held it to my ear I kissed her temple and said "don't die baby don't die."

An ambulance arrived moments later and Nicole was unconscious the paramedics checked her over and whisked her into the Ambulance.  I took a seat in the back and gripped Nicole's hand and gave it a kiss.  "Wake up baby please I love you please."  I begged.  We got to the hospital and she was rushed upstairs when we were taken to the ward Nicole stopped breathing I shouted for help where a nurse I recognised and Doctor started resuscitating Nicole they took her away and I couldn't follow Wynonna had come up behind me and pulled me in for a hug as I cried. I went outside to get some air, I leaned against a bench feeling sick to my stomach. I lifted my head and saw widow Beth she offered me a deal the third seal for the cure to save Nicole.

I went back inside a few minutes later and headed to where Nicole was, I passed Dolls on my and he informed me that the doctors want to put Nicole under except she refuses to go under until she saw me.

"You give Calamity Jane to Nedley O.K. he is going to pretend he doesn't want her but he loves that damn cat."  Nicole said looking pale.

"I'm so sorry." I said.

"No I'm sorry.  I am so sorry Waverly for everything I made a huge mistake."  Nicole said.

"No okay forget about the DNA test results ok.  It doesn't matter." I responded.

"Yes it does matter.  Especially now.  I just really thought I was doing the right thing and I shouldn't have."  Nicole said in pain.

"Shh hey I am going to be here when you wake up ok."  I said.  "And we're going to do all of our sorrys then we will have a big ole sorry party and I'll make hats."  Nicole laughed.

"But if I don't I need you to know I have never loved anyone the way I love you."  Nicole said.

I sobbed "oh you know what we're not doing this."  Nicole kisses my hand.  "We're going to find away to stop the toxin ok you are going to be fine."

The doctor had injected something in her IV and she closed her eyes.  I placed my hands on her cheeks and kissed her.  After a few minutes of sitting on the bed making sure she was alive.  I left to talk to Wynonna, we came up with a plan Wynonna and Doc would track down the widow, Jeremy would get started on a cure, Dolls would get Juan Carlo's body and I was to stay here and keep them updated with Nicole's condition. 

I went to the toilet and came back through to Nicole's room where there was a woman.  "Oh hey." I said.

"Hey." She replied.

"Are you a Doctor?" I asked the woman.

"Actually yes.  Uh and you are?" She said.

"I'm Waverly." I responded.  "How is she doing?"

"I'm not sure yet." She said.  I was a bit confused which she could picked up on.  "Oh sorry I am not her doctor I'm a doctor.  I'm Shae."

"Nice to meet you.  Are you a friend of Nicole's?"  I said.

"Sort of.  I am her wife." She responded and my heart broke.  "I am guessing she didn't tell you about me.  I know you are her girlfriend."

"Oh."  Was all that I could manage.

"I am going to talk to her Doctor see what they are doing."  She said walking out.  I sat down trying to process that my girlfriend had a wife.  I squealed Nicole's hand.

"We are doing everything. Almost. Why didn't you tell me?" I asked Nicole hoping she would wake up.

"I talked to the toxicology specialist. They are still trying to ID the poison." Shae said as walked back in and handed me a coffee. "You called it in right. You were with her when it happened."

"Yeah I found her. She'd already been bitten or something. I don't know." I responded I took a sip before continuing. "So how did you guys meet?"

"Uh rock climbing in Nevada, not far from Vegas." Shae started.

"Oh oh." I said coming to the realisation.

Shae continued. "Yeah. We got married in a fever. Britney live and a big win at the slot machines will do that to you. But then things called off." Nicole started to gasp and Shae leaned over.

"What's going on?" I asked worryingly.

"She's waking up." Shae responded. The doctor came in and Shae said "she needs something."

"Nicole can you hear me?" The doctor asked Nicole.

She responded gasping "it burning."

The Doctor asked "any known allergies to anaesthetics?"

"No." I said.

"Yes." Shae said at the same time. "Uh thiopental could kill her give her propofol." Shae turned to me and said. "Rock climbing incident. She needed surgery. Kinda ruined each other."

"Right." I said as the doctor injected the propofol into the IV. "I didn't know."

"How could you." Shae said. Nicole had settled down.

"Oh god I am just making things worse." I chuckled leaving them alone.
