Almost Lost Him
Connors pov
We are in the car on the way to Sarah's appointment. I look over to see her looking sad/scared. "Sarah you promised me you would go to therapy it will do you good." I say as she's is trying not to cry. "I know" she says to me while she looks out the window. It takes us about 40 mins to get to the office. I noticed that Sarah had fallen asleep on the way there. I park the car and get out to go over and wake her up. I open her door and lean down. "hey sweetie we're her." I say as I gently rub her knee. "do I have to" she says as she gets out of the car. "Yes it will help. Come on let's go" I say as we walk in. Sarah checks herself in at the front desk and then come over to sit with me.
Reese's pov
It doesn't take long to get seen. I'm in the waiting room no longer than 15 mins. The whole time I'm waiting I'm shaking. I'm not sure I can do this. "hey calm down. It will be okay." I hear Connor say to me. "I hope so."I say "Sarah Reese" the nurse says to me. I stand up and look at Connor. " I'll be here when you finish." He says to me. I nod and walk into the room with the nurse. "doctor will be with you shortly." She says as she leaves the room. About 5 mins later the doctor comes in. "hi Sarah. I'm doctor Gilbertson" he says as he walks behind his desk. I don't say anything all I do is nod. "Your boss filled me in a bit about what happened but I'd like your take on it." He says. "I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in the ED when it happened. It just wen...." I started to cry "tell me what happened" he asks "the explosion was so loud. there was rubble everywhere." I say as I broke down. "I could have lost him." I say as I run out of the room running straight into Connors arms.
Connors Pov
I was sitting out in the waiting room waiting for Reese's appointment to be over. Miss Goodwin thought it be a good idea for her to speak to someone after the explosion at the hospital. She wasn't getting much sleep and was constantly worrying about me. To the point it was getting unhealthy. I was told I was under no circumstances to go in with her. It killed me seeing her in pain. But for her to get better it's what had to happen. She wasn't even in the appointment for 10 mins before she flung open the door and crashing into my arms. Hey it's okay it's okay I'm here" I tell her as she grabs on to me for dear life. She is now sobbing into my chest. "I... I can't go back in. I can't lose you." She cries to me. My shirt now wet. "I'm not going anywhere I promise" I say as I rub her back with one hand and wipe the tears away with my thumb from my other hand. The doctor has now joined us in the waiting room. "Why don't you come join us for the rest of the session? I promise not to tell that you were in here with us." The doctor says. "Will that work for you" I ask Sarah. "Yes" she says with teary eyes as loosens her grip.
Reese's pov
We walk back into the room and I sit on Connors lap. I've managed to calm down a bit. "Please continue with the story." The doctor says. " I heard the explosion I wasn't near the blast but I got thrown back from the force. I went in search of the site looking to help people. It had gone off near the surgical department. I remember Connor told me he.... He...I started getting teary and couldn't speak. Then I felt Connors arms tighten around my waist. "It's okay" he whispers to me. "He had surgery at 1:00. I was so worried. I started screaming his name. I later found him bleeding out. I.... I was afr... Afraid I... I'd lost him. That I got to him to late."I sob. He's my everything. "and you've been having bad dreams where he trapped and you can't get to him" the doctor says. " yeah almost every night its why I can't sleep. I'm almost afraid to close my eyes. It hinders my work." I say on the verge of tears. We sit and talk awhile longer about what we can do to make me feel better. "Well I think we are making some progress and I would like to see you for a while say and hour each week." The doctor says. "Alright I guess so" I say as we thank him and walk out to go home.
