Chapter 349: Take me to him now!
Lucky POV
"Are you scared?" Ted asks me softly squeezing my hand back as he pats it with his other hand. I nod my head or at least I think it moves.
"I have you my boy. We love you. Your safe." Ted says as
I squeeze as hard as I can on to his hand. I've never felt so scared but safe in my whole life. I relax a little as my thoughts start getting darker and darker as the meds take me.
I can hear someone yelling and screaming. My head hurts still, it's too dark my eyes must still must be taped up.
"Is anyone here?" I ask. No answer. The beeps are still here but they are way more quiet then before which I'm thankful for.
I feel my eyes. Still taped okay. Head.. bandaged up. I hear a blood curdling scream. I sit up..okay good so far no dizziness. I feel down my arms for any IV'S. I slow pull my IV out and move my feet to the ground. The screaming continues and I think it's Sheldon. I need to find him.
"Hello!" I yell. I grab the wall as my head spins a little. I feel along the wall till I feel the door. I grab the handle and turn it. I push it open and my head throbs with radiating pain.
"Hello!" I say loudly again.
"Sir go back to room." Someone says as they run by.
"Take me to him!" I say hoping she's still there.
No one answers. "Hello!" I say again. I put my hand over my ear while I hold the wall with the other.
"Fuck Lucky! What are you doing man?"
"Jasper. Take me to him!" I say sticking my hand out feeling for him.
"Lucky you just had surgery on your brain twice, let's get you back in bed."
"Where is he?" I hear Sheldon screaming. Then the horrible howling sound of his heart shattering.
"Take me.. to him." I groan as my legs start to get weaker. I reach around for him again to help me.
"Jasper?" I say feeling around. He doesn't answer. What the fuck did he just leave me here?
I can hear what sounds like wheels squeaking over the sounds of Mumford's screams.
"Lucky quit walking. I got you a chair brother." I feel his hand on my arm. He gets me in the wheel chair.
"This is the first time he's woken up fully. He kept asking about Finn finally Lucas and Lucy told him and nobody's been able to calm him down their afraid that he's going to mess up his incision. He wasn't doing well and if he tears his incision they're afraid he'll bleed to death nobody can get close enough to him to sedate him." Jasper says quickly filling me in.
"Has anyone tried to just hold him and let him cry? Sometimes a warm body wrapping you up helps. We've learned that when we took those classes on how to help River and Colt. It helps calm their nervous system which can provide comfort and help get them calmed"
"No man, I don't think any of us have tried." He says low and soft. He starts pushing me a little faster as the screaming gets louder.
"When we get in there I need you to be my eyes. You're only goal is to get me to him." His hand squeezing my shoulder.
"I got you brother but if he's swinging then I'm getting you out of there we can't risk you getting hit in the head again. I seen that shit from the helicopter even after that first hit that knocked you out they still kept beating you in the head with that rifle." Jasper says with sadness and anger in his voice. I reach back and squeeze his head on my shoulder.
"I'M.. GOING BACK..NOW!" I hear Sheldon scream as the door opens.
"No baby you can't. We're working on getting him back." Lucy pleds with him.
"Lucky my son. You need to be resting." Lucas says softly.
"I need to be here with him." I say reaching for Jaspers hand.
"Sheldon. I'm here brother, I'm here." I say walking slowly to the sound of sobbing and heavy breathing.
"Lucky they still have him." He cries out.
"I know, but they will soon wish they didn't! As soon as my head stops hurting and I can fucking see again I'm heading back!" I say clenching my jaw. I put my hand out reaching for the bed.
"Sweetheart you guys can't go back! We'll find him but no your not going back and either is my son!" Lucy yells.
"Jasper tell them to bring one of those wide sized beds for overweight people. Tell them I'll be staying here with him to recover."
"Kenny go have the talk you've been avoiding with your mom. Lucy I love you and your a amazing mother but I'm going back and I'm not coming home till I have him with me." I say slowly moving to get on the bed. Sheldon is shaking so bad I can feel him through the bed.
I reach around trying to find him. I can feel him now. I grab his grown and pull him to me. I wrap my arms around him tightly as I start laying back.
"Lucky I can't do this without him.. I told him I would never forgive him. That's the last thing I said to him!" Sheldon cries out. I pull him closer and tighter even though my head and body are screaming from the pain.
"I've got you brother. Shhh You know that's not what he will be thinking about." I wave my arm.
"Let's give them a minute." Lucas says.
"Mom let's go talk." Kenny says.
"Lucky they are pissed but it will be done within the hour." I nod.
Sheldon sobs in my arms holding on to my gown.
I kiss his head "We need to get better brother and that means rest. Finn needs us strong so we can help him when he gets home. River and my brother's will be here soon and we'll make a plan to head back out there." I say quietly my head is killing me now.
"Lucky if he gets away he'll go to the village and wait. He yelled
Umm al-Dira that was the sign so if they go without us they should go there first." He says his voice still shaking and rough.
"Let's lay down brother. Let me hold you." I tell him. He lays against my shoulder, I pull him to my chest and wrap him in my arms tightly.
"River's going to hate me. He told me he could never choose between us. He loves her and I love him." He starts crying again.
"Sheldon he loves you just as much as he loves her. River will not hate you, she loves you both and trust me she will be all for you guys being together as long as she's involved." I say squeezing him. We both fall asleep quickly.
