Chapter 12

The next morning Sanda, and Melinda showed up at Reid's room. Luke was awake most the night, Reid had a rough night. They gave him stuff for the pain it was more the stress of not knowing if he could do surgery again that was getting to Reid. Sanda brought Reid some of his favourite muffins that she made. Melinda brought him some magazines, but she wasn't so sure if he would be up to reading, but he could keep them in his drawer until he was.

Luke walked over giving them a kiss, and smiled as they came in.

Reid was asleep, Melinda put the magazines down, and Sanda put the muffins on his tray.

"You look exhausted Luke you didn't get any sleep"?

"No he had a rough night I hate what Noah did to him"

"Noah is sick for doing this to Reid he knew this would hurt Reid, and that is why he did it"

"I know you are going to be angry I didn't tell Reid yet but Jack called me, and told me they let Noah out on bail. I was so angry but they said he had the money, I'm so afraid he might show up here, and hurt him again"

"They let him out this is horrible" Sanda, and Melinda said, and Luke looked over at Reid.

"I know how will I explain it to Reid"

"Maybe don't tell him yet" Melinda said, and just than Reid whispered, "I smell muffins"

Sanda, and Melinda ran over, "Reid your awake"

"Yeah I was hoping yesterday was all a bad dream, but it wasn't"

"I made you banana nut muffins"

"Yum I could use one the hospital food sucks"

"Yeah we hear it from the patients everyday"

Reid smiled, "I know I use to think how bad could it be but it is bad"

"Well we can get you something from Al's for lunch"

"Great " Reid smiled but they could see he was feeling horrible. Luke walked over, "Melinda got you some magazines, all sport ones just what you would love"

"Yes thank God there is no gossip magazines, I hate them"

Sanda giggled , "I love them"

"I know so does Luke" Luke smiled, "Yes I do they are fun to read"

Reid asked Sanda, and Melinda when they had to work?

"In 1 hour but we will come back at lunch, and check up on you throughout the day"

"Good but Noah is in jail so I'm fine"

Luke knew maybe telling him the truth was for the best.

"Reid Noah is out on bail"?

"What"?

'Yes he is out on bail"

"Yeah did your Mom pay it"?

"What no"?

"I'm sorry but she loves him, I wouldn't be surprised she did".

Luke was speechless he prayed his Mom didn't but Reid was right she could have. Luke asked Sanda, and Melinda to watch Reid for a few moments he would go get Reid a coffee or a juice. He asked them if they wanted one, and they said yes. He left, and walked out in the hall looking at his phone, and decided to call him Mom.

"Hello"

"Mom thank God you answered, I'm at the hospital, I need to ask you one question, and I need for you to be honest with me"

"Yes I bailed Noah out he is going to pay me back, but I couldn't leave him in jail"

Luke leaned against the wall it was like he was smacked in the face by his own Mother. He closed his phone, and whispered, "I will never forgive you Mother."

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. OMG Lily is awful for bailing Noah out of jail after what he did to Reid. Thank god Reid and Luke have Sanda and Melinda in their life. They are going to need their love and support right now.

Chapter 13

Melinda, Sanda and Luke were watching Reid sleep, they all were quiet. They all were saying a prayer for Reid to recover, and be able to operate again. Luke knew Reid would probably blame him if he lost the use of his hand. He blamed himself for staying with Noah when all he wanted was to be with Reid. He hated that Reid was suffering because of him.

"Luke what are you thinking"? Sanda asked him, Luke smiled, and said he was just thinking about Reid.

Melinda could see Reid was having a bad dream he was tossing. She was afraid he would hurt his hand more if he moved to much.

"Reid you are dreaming". Melinda said but Reid mumbled, "My Hand is it broken".

Luke walked over touching his forehead, and Reid jumped making Luke say.

"You are OK you were dreaming"

Reid was sweating but he lifted his hand, and whispered.

"No I am not dreaming my life is over"

"No you will heal, and you will operate again I just know it"

"No Luke we don't know that I have to face it"

"You don't give up hope Reid you are not that kind of guy you are a fighter"

"Really it is me in here with a broken arm where is Noah out having a beer"

"He will pay for this" Melinda and Sanda said but Reid looked scared, and it broke Luke's, Melinda's, and Sanda's heart. He was strong, and they could see he was scared, and they couldn't blame him they were scared too. They didn't know what the future held for Reid but they would be by his side all the way. He tried to put a smile on his face, but they sat beside him just talking, and trying to cheer him up if that was possible.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. Poor Reid in this chapter. I feel horrible for Reid in this story becuase his hand is broke becuase of Noah. I just hope and pray that Reid is going to be ok and that he will able to operate again. :)Reid is so lucky to have Sanda, Melinda, and Luke by his side to help him deal with everything. Tegan needs to visit Reid in the hospital and snuggle with him. ;D

[melinda]

I just reread all of this fabulous story, I really appreciate when you include me, that means a lot. I can't wait for more, I hope no one gets really seriously hurt because of the game

Chapter 14

The next few days was hard on Reid there was no change, and he was going into a deep depression. If he couldn't be a Surgeon anymore what was worth living for. Luke, Sanda and Melinda never left his side even though he yelled at them for always being there. They were going to help him get through this no matter what. Bob Hughes said he could go home, and return for the therapy but he said if in a few weeks he is up to it he could maybe do some lectures which made Reid more angry. He wanted to be a surgeon not a Teacher so he said no thanks. Luke said he would talk to him, but Bob was really worried about Reid. They got home, and Sanda , and Melinda were there. They cleaned up the house, and bought all Reid's favourite foods, and even bought movies they would not want to watch but for him they would. He basically loved sports films, and they found a few that looked interesting. Reid sat on the couch Sanda brought him a soda, and sat beside him. He tried to smile but she could see he was upset, and it made her feel horrible. She hated Noah, and she hoped he paid for what he did to Reid. Melinda walked in with a sandwich, and smiled as she sat beside him.

"Sanda told me exactly how you like it we even bought your favourite mustard, and pickles on the side"

"Thank you I really appreciate everything you have done for me but I'm not really hungry"

Luke smiled, 'Your not hungry you have a bottomless pit of a stomach you are always hungry"

Reid got up, "I'm going upstairs to change but I would like to be alone so don't follow me Luke. I will eat that sandwich in a few minutes". He ran upstairs leaving Luke, Sanda and Melinda sitting there quiet not knowing what to say next. Reid walked into his room, and shut the door, and walked over looking at his hand as he sat on the bed. He hated feeling sorry for himself but he hated this. He was a Surgeon, and he couldn't make himself better. He knew he probably would need Luke to help him change, and that killed him too. He never depended on anyone now he depends on Melinda, Sanda, and Luke for everything. He got him pants off, and he walked over grabbing a pair of his pajama pants, and got them on. He took his shirt off it only took 10 minutes to get it off. He struggled but he got his T-shirt on. He got up going down stairs, and found the three of them still in the same spot. He knew they were upset, and worried about him, and he had to stop feeling sorry for himself in front of them. He walked over sitting beside Melinda and Sanda, and took the sandwich, and lifted it with his good hand.

"This is really good, I'm sorry I upset you earlier"

Sanda smiled, "You didn't upset us Reid we all are worried"

"I'm worried but just for tonight the four of us will not talk about my problems, and we will just watch one of those movies over there, and eat until my stomach bursts"

Luke laughed, "Now that is the Reid I know". Reid smiled Luke got up grabbing the films, and was telling him what they had. Reid couldn't believe they picked out all Sports films, and at that moment he realized they really loved him, and that made him feel better. He said he wanted to watch Field of Dreams it was a great film. Luke , Melinda and Sanda never seen it, but Reid was sure they would love it. They all snuggled on the couch, and watched the film together.

Chapter 15

They were all watching Field of Dreams, and they all enjoyed it. They were eating M&M's and popcorn. Luke was snuggled into Reid who was watching the film, and eating but he was feeling pain in his hand but he didn't want to worry them. Melinda and Sanda could see he was in pain just by his face expressions so Sanda asked him if he needed his pain medication?

"Yes I could use it"

"Reid you should have told us you were in pain"

"I was enjoying myself don't worry so much Luke"

"I am worried and I need you to tell me when you need your medicine or anything else you need"

"I am not a baby Luke don't treat me like one"

"I am not treating you like a baby I love you"

"I love you too but I have to deal with this on my own. I have to come to terms with never being a surgeon again if that should happen. I will be fine but I need you all to treat me like I am the same Reid as I was before this happened"

Luke smiled, "Fine I will try but know I am here for you" Reid smiled as he gave Luke a kiss, and Sanda and Melinda gave him a hug. Sanda got up and walked to the kitchen to get his pain medication.

Melinda and Luke look at each other as they continue to watch Field of Dreams. Sanda came in to give Reid his medication. He took it and Luke didn't fuss he kept looking at the TV. Sanda, Melinda and Luke were thinking how much they hated Noah for hurting Reid. They all were praying Reid could return to surgery because they knew Reid would never be the same if he could not be a Surgeon anymore.

[Sanda]
