Chapter 21
�Samantha
honey?�
Samantha snapped out
of her thoughts when she realized her mother was calling her name.
�Yes mom?�
Samantha�s mother
and father had flown down to Miami on the first flight they could
book. Samantha had insisted they didn�t need to rush down to
Miami, but they could tell by the look in her eyes when they arrived
just how much Samantha needed them there with her.
�I asked if you
wanted to grab some breakfast?� Deb repeated, looking worriedly at
her daughter.
�I�m not really
hungry.� Samantha whispered softly, turning away from her mother
and staring at the spot on the wall she�d been focusing on for the
better part of an hour. She felt her mother�s hand on her shoulder
and closed her eyes, fighting back the tears.
�You need to eat
something, Samantha. If not for you� for the baby.�
Samantha nodded,
absently running her hands over her belly. �I know.� She paused
a moment before turning to face her mother. �Why hasn�t he woken
up yet?�
�I don�t know
honey.�
�The doctor told me
he was going to be fine.�
�And he will be.�
Samantha�s lower lip
trembled. �What if he�s not?� She whimpered, feeling a tear
slide down her cheek. Samantha allowed herself to be wrapped into a
tight hug by her mother. �What if he�s not?� Samantha
repeated, her voice muffled.
�You�ll keep on
living� one day at a time.�
�Samantha?� Don�s
voice called out from the open doorway to the waiting room. �They
caught the guy that shot Horatio.�
Cold fury shot through
Samantha. �Where is he?�
Don sighed and ran a
hand through his hair. �He�s at MDPD being interrogated. Listen
Sammy� Calleigh, Eric, AND Ryan all told me that if they catch you
anywhere near the building they are going to physically haul you off
the premises. And I�ll help them. You don�t need to be there.�
Samantha sighed,
fighting down the fury inside her to remember the most important
thing was being there when Horatio woke up. �I want to get back to
Horatio�� Samantha said quietly, rising to her feet and leaving
her mother and father in the waiting room. Don and Deb exchanged
glances and allowed their daughter her privacy.
�Wake up soon,
Horatio.� Don said quietly. �Wake up soon.�
-------------------------
Just
after twenty-four hours of being shot, Horatio woke up. As his mind
fought through the drug-induced haze, he recognized a voice coming
through the darkness. As the voice became clearer, he realized they
were singing. He smiled softly. His beautiful wife was singing.
The first time ever I saw your face

I thought
the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the
gifts you gave

To the night and the empty skies my love

To
the night and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed
your mouth

I felt the earth turn in my hand

Like the
trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command my
love

That was there at my command
The first time ever I
lay with you

And felt your heart beat close to mine

I thought
our joy would fill the earth

And would last 'till the end of time
my love

And would last 'till the end of time
The first
time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the
night and the empty skies my love

To the night and the empty
skies
Horatio smiled
softly, trying hard to open his tired eyes. Though his mind was
screaming to wake up, his body was shutting down again telling him he
needed to rest. Feeling himself slip back into unconsciousness, he
squeezed Samantha�s hand.
Samantha�s head shot
up and her eyes frantically searched his face. The smile was still
there. She hadn�t imagined it. Horatio had squeezed her hand to
let her know he was all right. �Horatio?� She waited a moment.
�I don�t know if you can hear me, Horatio� but I love you.�
She gently pushed a lock of red hair off his forehead. �I love
you� please come back to me soon.� She glanced down at her
swollen abdomen. �Come back to us.�
For the second time
that evening, Horatio squeezed her hand.
-------------------------
When Samantha
re-entered the waiting room to tell her parents the good news, she
was surprised to find it empty. She frowned as she heard raised
voices coming from the lobby and quickly walked out of the waiting
room to investigate.
�I have the right to
see him!� A woman�s voice yelled indignantly.
It didn�t take
Samantha more than a moment to recognized the voice. Horatio�s ex
had come calling.
�I�m sorry but
only family are allowed.� A nurse with graying brown hair said
calmly.
�I�m his ex-wife�
that still makes me family!� Elizabeth yelled back.
�She can see him.�
Samantha said softly, catching Elizabeth�s shocked expression. �I
don�t know why you�re here, Elizabeth, or why you think Horatio
would want you here. But if you want to see him, you can.�
Dumfounded, Elizabeth
stuttered. �T�thanks.�
�Room 419.�
Samantha said softly as Elizabeth brushed past her.
Samantha�s mother
shook her head disapprovingly. �Why would you let her see him
after the fight you had?�
Samantha sighed. �I�m
letting her see him because of the fight we had. After
tonight, I won�t think about her again.� Samantha smiled softly.
�He squeezed my hand mom. I was holding his hand singing� and
he squeezed my hand. Twice. He�s trying to come back to us.�
Samantha�s mother
and father came forward to hug her warmly. Her father kissed
Samantha�s head softly. �I�m so happy to hear that honey� I
can�t stand seeing my baby girl hurting.� He smiled down at her.
�I knew you loved him the first time I saw you together that day
in Minneapolis.� He paused a moment before adding, "I knew he loved you too."
Samantha smiled as her
eyes filled up with tears. �I love him so much��
�Samantha?�
Elizabeth�s voice broke into the tender moment.
Samantha turned.
�Yes?�
�Horatio�s awake.
He�s asking for you.�
Samantha fought down
the wave of fury that ripped through her at the thought of Elizabeth
being the one there when Horatio woke up. But that didn�t matter
now. Her Horatio was asking for her. �Thank you, Elizabeth.�
Samantha hugged her mother and father again briefly before rushing
off towards Horatio�s room.
Horatio almost broke
down crying when his wife came into the room. Instead he opened his
arms and smiled as Samantha rushed towards him and came into his
arms. She was careful not to hurt her fragile husband, but she still
clung desperately to him as she cried her relief into his shoulder.
For several minutes Horatio held her while she cried. Ignoring the
pain in his chest Horatio inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of his
perfect wife.
Finally, Samantha
pulled back her tear-streaked face. Horatio reached up and gently
wiped the tears from her cheeks. �I�m so sorry��
Horatio shook his
head, effectively stopping Samantha from speaking further. �There�s
no reason to apologize.�
Samantha sighed and
wiped her nose with her sleeve. �Yes there is� if we hadn�t
fought you never would have��
��Samantha,
please. Please don�t.� Horatio pleaded. �I won�t have you
blaming yourself for this.�
�I behaved like a
moron.�
Horatio smiled softly.
�Yes you did� but I�d be lying if I said it didn�t feel good
to see Elizabeth sprawled out on the floor like that.� Samantha
let out a short laugh and allowed Horatio to continue. �All the
same� I don�t like airing our personal laundry out at the lab.�
Samantha sighed. �I
know� I�m sorry. I need to change that about myself. I�m too
hot headed.�
Horatio shook his
head. �Don�t change anything about yourself. Don�t ever
change. I love you just the way you are� hot head and all.�
Samantha watched mesmerized as Horatio let his hand trail down to her
abdomen, gently caressing it as his eyes filled with tears. �And
how�s my little one?� He whispered softly to Samantha�s belly.
�Mommy and daddy are always going to be here for you, little one.�
He turned his eyes back to Samantha�s. �Always.� He repeated
firmly.
Samantha promptly
burst out into tears.
