Sophia

I opened my eyes to Damon's kiss. A smile crept my lips as I saw him close. "Hey Doll, finally decided to wake up, huh? You know how long you kept me waiting baby." he said kissing my forehead. I felt his tear fell on my eyelid. "Hey babe. I am glad that I could see you again Damon" I said holding his cheek. "How you feeling?" He asked. "Never better" I said with a smile. "How is Ric? He is ok, right?" I asked not quite remembering if the bullet hurt him or not. "You saved him. Why don't you ask him yourself " he said and then he called everyone.

"Sophie!" I heard a worried Chuck "You ok princess?" He asked all tensed and sobbing. "Yup pumpkin I am all fine. How couldn't I be, I have so many people here praying for me." I said and I stretched my hands for my girlfriends. They both took it and came closer to me. "Way to steal my thunder, huh" Caprice said trying to lighten the mood and we laughed lightly. "You scared us Donna" said Alysia. I smiled at them. I looked at Don silently asking about Ric. When he nodded in his direction. I saw him farthest from me looking down with his arms folded at his chest. "Ric, how are you?" I asked him . He looked at me and nodded. I know he was feeling guilty that he shouldn't . He is my family. I would have done it for my family. "Come here" I said calling him. He came closer to me. "I am sorry Cinderella. You didn't have to do this" he said not looking at me. "Ric look at me please" I said and he looked at me. I took his hand in mine "You are Don's brother. So you are my brother too. I couldn't have let my brother die. Right?" I said with a smile "Moreover if something would have happened to you, how would I manage the two such high maintenance brats, huh?" I said referring to Don and Caprice and we all laughed. "Oh yeahh" Don said pinching my cheeks. "Take rest sister in law. We will see you soon." Ric said and they all left leaving Don.

"You got him?" I asked about the shooter. He nodded in a yes. "Is he dead? I asked "Not yet" he told me. "I haven't met him yet" That's what I was fearing. I nodded. "Hey amore don't stress yourself with all this. We will take care of it. You take care of my Doll" he said with a light peck on my cheek. I smiled.

"Hey I heard someone woke up from their beauty sleep. How are you feeling now Donna?" We heard Dr. Zack as he came in. He is always very soft spoken. He is a tall guy with lean physique. He didn't had those gym muscles but not an extra ounce of fat either. He looks strong. His brown eyes adds to his intellectual look. He seems to be late twenties or early thirties but his curly hair make him look younger. His face always has this caring expression I wonder how could anyone like him kill people whose job is to literally save them. "Yes Doctor. Feeling better. Thank you." I said. "Good let me do some regular check ups then." He said and started taking my blood pressure and scribbling in his papers attached to the board he was holding. He check the saline too. "Well Don everything seems ok, I will check on her once more. Take rest Donna. Don't stress yourself and soon you can go home." He said with a smile. Don nodded at him and he turned to leave

"Doctor" I stopped him. "Yes Donna" he said turning towards me. I tried siting up and Don helped me a bit and then clicked a button and the bed folded from the upper side making me sit. "Thanks Don" I said to him. "Doctor I could feel the bandage which I supposed is the bullet wound but I feel this pain in my whole abdomen. Its quite different from the pain in the wound. Why do I feel this pain?" I asked him and he seemed a bit surprised. He looked at Don. That's weird, why he looked at Don. "Um Doctor" I asked breaking the silence. "I-um-...yeah Donna. Its because of the bullet only. You see a lot of blood was lost, you had internal bleeding too that's why. It will subdued slowly." He explained. "Oh, It felt like stitches. Can you give some pain killer for that?" I asked because it was really too much. "Yeah I will increase your dosing a bit. I suggest you sleep. You will feel better." He advised. Maybe he is right. "Thank you Doctor." I said and he left

Don clicked the button again an the bed folded back to straight. "Why he looked at you?" I asked Don. I felt suspicious but he just shrugged and turned I stopped him holding his hand "Everything is fine, right? You will tell me if something would be wrong, if there is anything to worry" I asked Don, hoping he is not hiding anything from me. "Of course I will baby. Relax you don't have to worry about anything. Right now you sleep we will talk later." He said brushing my forehead. "You going home?" I asked him "You look too tired and worn off you should go home." I said to him, his eyes were telling how much tired he is. "Oh Doll I am going home, when you are going home" he said placing a kiss on my forehead. "But -" "shh. Now sleep and let me sleep too" he said cutting me and sat on the chair beside the bed.

He kept my stroking my hair. Why his touch takes all the pain go away. I hold his hand and he kisses mine lightly. "Sing to me." I demanded. Maybe the affect of morphine. But I am going to enjoy it while it lasts. "What?" He asked all shocked. "Yeah sing me to sleep" I pressed. "You are kidding right?" He said with a light chuckle. "Fine" I said annoyed and turned to opposite side pouting.

I felt him holding my hand again he kissed my forehead and I felt his hand in my hair again. I could feel his cheek on mine and hear his soft voice in my ears

One look and I can't catch my breath

Two souls into one flesh

When you're not next to me

I'm incomplete

'Cause I'm on fire like a thousand suns

I couldn't put it out even if I wanted to

These flames tonight

Look into my eyes and say you want me, too

Like I want you

Oh, love, let me see inside your heart

All the cracks and broken parts

The shadows in the light

There's no need to hide

'Cause I'm on fire like a thousand suns

I couldn't put it out even if I wanted to

These flames tonight

Look into my eyes and say you want me, too

Like I want you

It's like a hunger in me

Yeah, it's never ending

Yeah, I'll burn for you (I'll burn for you)

It's like a hunger in me

Yeah, it's never ending

Yeah, I'll burn for you (I'll burn for you)

I'm on fire like a thousand suns

I couldn't put it out even if I wanted to

These flames tonight

Look into my eyes and say you want me, too

Like I want you

I got a hunger in me

I got a hunger in me

He did sang. He sang the song we did our first dance. In a way our wedding dance. I know he meant every word of the song. He is incomplete without me. I slept like a baby with his arm around my chest holding my shoulders with the other hand still in my hair as he rested his head on my chest. I could feel his hair on my chin as I snuggled more into him. We both slept.
