private (between Starfox and silverroses2009)

[darkvamplips]

All she did was stare at the girl who was telling her this. Even though he killed her kid he was still her brother.

[Starfox]

The woman smiled weakly at her, clearly uncomfortable.

[darkvamplips]

"I want to see him." She still cared for him.

[Starfox]

"Ah... I'll ask the doctor if you are cleared for this, miss." The woman didn't wan her to see her brother, that much she understood clearly.

[darkvamplips]

She just wanted to see him to see if she was ok. When the girl left she hugged her stomach tightly wondering if they took her baby out yet.

[Starfox]

The doctor hmmed and ahed, but more concerned with patients than criminal procedure allowed her to see her brother. Escorted by a nurse she was led to the ICU, and could see her brother through a window. He was on a bed, and a lot of tubes were stuck into him. Hi skin was even paler than before, and lots of bandages covered him.

[darkvamplips]

She was wheeled into see her brother in a wheelchair. When he saw her brother she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. What if she lost him to. She nodded toward the nurse to know it was alright to leave her here.

[Starfox]

The nurse seemed to undrestand the nod, but stayed. Maybe they feared she'd do something to her brother.

[darkvamplips]

All she did was stare she wasn't going to do something to her brother at all.

[Starfox]

Her brother was still and silent, the only sound coming from the monitors showing heartbeat and the small noise from the respiratory support. If not for the tubes in him he'd look dead - and probably would be dead.

[darkvamplips]

A few tears managed to spill over her eyes as she watched the machine breathing for him. Her being mad washed away quickly.

[Starfox]

Minutes ticked by. The nurse looked at her, maybe as much to make sure she was ok as to avoid looking at her brother.

[darkvamplips]

"Can I be alone right now?" She whispered looking up at the nurse.

[Starfox]

"Ah... the doctors were quite firm in insisting that you'd better not be alone..." The nurse smiled, apologizing for the denial of her request.

[darkvamplips]

"I'm not going to do anything stupid please just leave me." She wanted to be alone and wasn't going to do anything stupid.

[Starfox]

"Sorry, Miss - regulations do not permitt me to leave you alone."

[darkvamplips]

"Can I at least go closer?" She asked looking up toward the nurse.

[Starfox]

The nurse slowly nodded. "I guess so. Please do not touch him though."

[darkvamplips]

"Why would I touch him?" Slowly she wheeled closer to the bed.

[Starfox]

The nurse did not reply right away. "Ah... some people do that in the same situation." It was not clear whether this was about touching, or hitting.

[darkvamplips]

(Could she have some alone time with him)?

Even though her brother killed her baby he was on the verge of being dead right now. She wanted to touch his arm but didn't.

[Starfox]

(No, it's a criminal investigation, and she's been through too much to be allowed that, even if the rules allowed it at all.)

Up close he looked even worse. His face was paler than any resident of Hawaii had a right to be and his breathing very shallow. There seemed to be some sweat - a fine sheen - on his forehead. Bandages covered his chest, and one tube was dripping hat looked like pus and blood into a bag at his side.

[darkvamplips]

She could not help it but a few tears spilled over her eyes when she saw the blood and how he looked. Was he ever going to wake up and she might be able to hear her brother's voice again? Now it seemed like he was already gone.

[Starfox]

It did look like Craig was dieing - not just from his own appearance, but also from the way the nurse seemed to avoid looking at him, and the room itself. It just felt... final.

[darkvamplips]

Under her breath she spoke to him. "Craig please don't die." He looked so bad and she still loved him.
