Everyone waited patiently to hear from the doctor about Marisol's condition.
"How much longer is it going to take dad"? asked Claire.
"I'm not sure sweetheart". "Hopefully not to much longer".
After 45 more minutes of waiting the doctor came out.
"Brandon", we've done all we can for now". "the rest is up to Marisol, she needs to fight the infection, with the help of the antibiotics".
"How is my husband"? asked Calleigh.
"He's fine, he requested to be in with Marisol, so he's in her room". "He's also very weak right now, it took quite a bit of filtering to get her blood clean". "We've started him on I.V. iron, to build back up his red cells".
"Can I see her please"? asked Brad.
"Of course you can, come with me".
When they all got to her room, they found "H" in her bed holding her tight.
"Is she awake"? asked Brad.
"Not yet son, she's still pretty fevered", said "H".
As he tried to get up and out of Marisol's bed, he almost passed out.
"Woah"! "Let me help you there dad", said Brad.
"H" smiled, and allowed Brandon to help him over to the other bed.
"I'll take it from here Brad", said Calleigh. "You go see your wife".
When Brad walked over to Marisol's bed, and sat on the edge, he could feel her heat from the fever through her sheets. Stroking her fevered head, he whispered in her ear, that he loved her.
"God"! "She's so hot", her skin feels like it's on fire". "Come on Marisol, don't give in to the fever, fight it Marisol, I need you, we just started our new life". "Fight Marisol".
Later that evening everyone went home , including Horatio. While Brad climbed into bed with Marisol, and held her in his arms.
"I love you Marisol, please come home, to me", said Brad, before he fell asleep.
Meanwhile......
Calleigh, had gotten "H" into bed to relax.
"Are you feeling okay Handsome"?
"I'm fine love, I'm more worried about our daughter".
"She's strong Handsom, she's a Caine". "She'll beat it".
"Have "HJr and Claire left for their Honeymoon yet"?
"No, they've put it off until Marisol is better". "So Mac told them, they could stay with them for tonight". "he's even allowing them to sleep together in the same room", laughed Calleigh.
"Well I hope so sweetheart, they are married now".
"I know, It's so hard to believe we've lost two of our babies".
"Don't cry love, we still have three".
Meanwhile......
"HJr"!! "Are you going to be okay"? asked Claire.
"I'm fine sweetheart, don't worry". "Come here".
As Claire walked over still in her gown, HJr turned on some soft music and danced with her.
"There we go love", "Our first dance as husband and wife", he said kissing her.
"I love you HJr", said Claire.
"I know my love, I love you too".
