*Ami*
Amelia paced the room, it was so frustrating just having to wait, Luke was sitting in a chair, his feet drawn up and arm around his knees, looking very vulnerable.

It had been a fight beyond belief to get Zac to go into surgery, he wanted to stay near Tom, awaiting news.

In the end Amelia had had to put her foot down and he had reluctantly given in, accepting that he could do nothing to help Tom.

Actually she would prefer to be the one under anaesthetic right now and not having to wake up when this nightmare was over.

She had talked to one of the doctors about Tom and his prognosis was discouraging at least, had it only been his lung, as they had first believed, his chances would have been really good, Zac had done the right thing and without doubt saved his life.

The tear in the heart had put him around 50/50, maybe a little less due to it having been there for so long, but the rupture, well they couldn't give her a number, but not many survived, not even with immediate care.

Both her and Luke had the same blood type as Tom and they had both given blood to make sure they had enough to keep his system going while they fought to patch him up.

"Luke, I am so sorry, all this happened because of me, I feel so responsible for both Tom and Zac being hurt". She bit her lip.

Luke looked up at her, his face puffy from crying. "It is not your fault Ami. I get why they did it, even though it was stupid, it is just the way both of them are, they wouldn't be them if they didn't do things like this".

"You are absolutely right, but I would still wish they hadn't done it". She sighed, she didn't feel she deserved to live at the expense of Tom.

Luke's voice was trembling slightly. "I know Tom would think that the most important thing was Zac getting you back safe and sound not matter what, so the two of you better be forever".

Amelia sat down, she prayed that Tom could beat the odds, he was strong and he was stubborn, she knew that, but was it enough ?

A doctor came in, telling them that Zac's surgery had gone well, they had reattached the tendon and the shoulder had been put together by a metal plate and some screws, it would probably never be as good as before, but with time and training it should be okay.

He was in recovery now, but they would take him back to his room as soon as he woke up.

It took around 20 minutes, then the door opened and a nurse pushed in a bed. "See Zac, you are back to your own room now".

"He might be a bit incoherent, that is perfectly normal, he is doped up pretty bad from all the pain medication". She whispered to Amelia before leaving the room.

She went over to the bed and sat down on the chair next to his head, he was a bit pale, but otherwise he looked like himself, except from his arm, it was in a cast and extended from wires. "Hi sweetie, how are you ?"

"To be honest, I am high as a kite and a bit dizzy, but otherwise fine, and very happy to see you". His good hand grabbed hers.

She smiled at him. "Yeah, I can see your eyes lacks focus, but it is better than being in pain and I am happy to see you to".

Even though his operation wasn't complicated, she had been nervous, operations could always go wrong and his body had been under a lot of pressure those last days.

"Uhm you are so beautiful baby and I love you so very very much". He smiled very big and very happily at her.

She stroked his cheek, he looked so absolutely cute and adorable. "I love you to,  you are my very own hero".

"Ami, if my house still exists, I want you to move in with me, will you do that ? I want to be with you forever and ever". He tried to focus, but his eyes kind of rolled around.

She padded his hand gently. "Of course sweetie, it is not like I have a home anymore, but I think you should get some sleep now, we can talk about it later".

"Okay baby, then I am waiting with the proposals". He closed his eyes, sighed deeply and then he was already asleep.

Amelia felt a tug in her guts, no relax, it was just the painkillers talking, he probably wouldn't remember it when he woke up again.

The door was opened and a very serious looking doctor stepped inside, Luke jumped from his chair . "It is about Tom isn't it ? Is he ...".
