Tim's pov: Angela and I rush up to the hospital waiting room where we had spent the last 2 days in. Sgt Gray) "Tim! There you are! Room 113. She's awake!"

My heart...skips a beat I walk quietly in there alone first.

I open the door and see her...the most beautiful woman in the world staring out the hospital window in silence.

She heard my footsteps and look toward me with her mouth slightly agape and a tear that rolled down her cheek

Lucy) "T-Tim.."

Her voice...I know it had only been 48 hours or so but that felt like an eternity when I wasn't sure if I'd see her ever again

I rushed beside her

Tim) "Lucy you're okay!..." I hugged her but not too tightly cause I knew she was still in pain

Lucy smiled and he eyes returned to their bright brown color

Lucy) "Of course I am. You told me I would be."

I smiled now with tears down my eyes as I leaned my forehead against hers

Lucy frowned a little as she wiped my tears with her hand

Lucy) "No..don't cry babe.." I let out a small laugh

Tim)"How could I not cry tears of joy?"

Lucy smiled and kissed me and I kissed back

Lucy pat her hospital bed motioning me to sit beside her so I did and just held her

Lucy) "How long was I asleep for?"

Tim) "About 2 very long days"

Lucy) "Oh.."

Tim) "What have the nurses and doctors been saying?"

Lucy) "T-hat it's a miracle that I'm even awake right now...they thought for sure I was never gonna wake up again...and when I did wake up and you weren't there...I thought maybe..."

Tim) "What?? Did you think I was just gonna leave you or something? No I'm sorry I wasn't here.. I feel horrible but I got called to save a family from my old army buddy who was holding them at gunpoint.."

Lucy looked me in the eyes

Lucy) "Did you save...them?"

I smiled before responding

Tim) "Yeah...I did.. and even when he pointed a gun at me, the only thing that kept me going was thinking about you.."

Lucy snuggled up against me

Lucy) You're a superhero....and my superhero."

I smirked at her comment as I ran my fingers through her hair There's no way I can tell her about Emmett...not right now or atleast not until she asks

Tim) "I love you"

Lucy smiled with her eyes closed

Lucy) "Thank you for being by my side. I love you too"

A few seconds later I shot up in bed a little being careful not to hurt Lucy

Tim) "Speaking of which..."

I unzip my duffle bag beside me and grab at the picture of me with the note on the back. I hand it to her

Tim) "So what's this about?"

I laughed and smiled

Tim) "When did you write this aka how long have you loved me and kept it from me?"

I said still smiling Lucy fiddled with her hospital gown while biting her lip. She looked up at me with those loving puppy dog eyes. Lucy) "Well umm..... Y-you know when I "jokingly" said I had feelings for you?..."

My jaw dropped Tim) "you mean to tell me you wrote this almost three years ago?!?"

Lucy giggled

Lucy) "Well I wrote that note the day before I "jokingly" confessed. Even though I did love you that day.

I shook my head at her and I kissed her again

Tim) "H-how come you never told me?"

Lucy) "I don't know. By the way you acted I just assumed you didn't wanna hear it"

Tim) "I'm sorry I acted that way. I was going through a lot then and I wish I wouldn't have acted like that"

Lucy shook her head

Lucy) "it's okay. It was all meant to happen just when it did.."

Tim) "I'm so glad you're still here with me.."

Lucy's pov:

I was about to answer when

Knock knock through the slightly opened blinds of the hospital hall window I could see who it was

Lucy) "Come in!"

The door starts to open and I smile

Lucy) "Hey Angela!"

Angela walks over to give me a hug I grimace at the pain but I don't care

Angela) "Hey! I'm glad to see you awake! You know you gave us all a scare especially this one over here"

She points her head to Tim whose clueless right now and just looking in my eyes right now making me blush

My thoughts were disturbed when I got a thought. My shooter??

------------------

Tim's pov:

Oh no what happened? Her face dropped

Lucy) "m-my shooter? Who was i-it?"

I grab ahold of Lucy's hand and rub it

Tim) "L-Lucy... It's gonna be okay... He's already locked up and can't get you anymore.. but..it was Emmett.."

------------------

Lucy's pov:

What.

My blood ran cold. I couldn't believe the words that just came out of my boyfriends mouth. My jaw dropped

Lucy) "What?? How could he do this?? After all that time.. He made me think he loves me... Why would he do this what in the world!!? THAT LITTLE-"

I was cut off my Tim now hugging me. Man his embrace was one of the best things in the world. It broke me though cause a few of his own tears fell on my hospital gown. I know he was just as mad and wanted Emmett locked away for many years just like I wanted him to be

I started to have a slightly hard time breathing

Tim noticed and rubbed my back Which I'm so glad he did cause I felt like I could breathe again

Angela) "I'll leave you guys alone for a moment and go get the doctor"

Tim pulled back a little and smiled at me

Tim) "He can't get you anymore okay? I promise you that."

I nodded, really hoping that he was right.

Lucy) "Brrrr it's c-cold"

Tim) "Oh! I'm so sorry I didn't think of it earlier."

Tim pulls out a comfy sweater and some blankets from one of the duffle bags and hands them to me

Lucy) "Awww thank you" Tim smiled

Knock knock A man with blonde hair and white scrubs enters the room

?? ?????) "Hi Miss Lucy Chen, glad to see you're doing better, I'm Doctor Avery. I've been looking over your charts and all your levels look great. Plus the surgeons were able to take all of the bullet out which is great. If all goes well you should be able to go home in the next 6 hours or so. Just remember to take it easy with your gunshot wound."

Lucy) "Wow that's awesome thank you Doctor"

Dr Avery) "Of course, get some good sleep now if you can and especially when you get home"

He smiled and with that he was out of the room.

I look over at Tim who has one of the biggest smiles on his face, it couldn't help but make me smile as well

Lucy) "What did I ever do to deserve you?"

He put his hand over mine

Lucy) "Man I can't wait to go home...and also watch Top chef.." ------------------
