"I agree," Ariel rested her head on his shoulder for a moment. She tried to control her breathing so she wouldn't break down again.
"Hans does a pretty good job, I come to help him bathe them and get them ready for bed. He can do it on his own but I feel like I want to make sure they are okay. They are the most beautiful babies ever Killian you have to come see them." Ariel told him she walked down the hallway finally coming into Else's room.
Ariel walked in first taking Killian's hand and leading him into her room. "Else?"

Hook froze at the sight of Else laying practically lifeless in that hospital bed. He thought he'd be better prepared for this but..... he knew Ariel's emotions weren't that of just a distressed woman.
He went over to her bed, clutching Ariel's hand tighter than he had realized. He closed his eyes and bit his lip,"how long has it been....?"

Ariel felt his hand tighten in hers she couldn't remember ever holding hands with him. Ariel looked at him as she spoke seeing true emotions in his face.
"It's got to be at least a week now." Ariel told him she led him over to Else's side. "Else, Killian is here to see you..." Ariel looked up at him she let go of his hand and put it on Else's.
"Talk to her Killian she needs to know your here. I think she can hear you even if she can't respond." Ariel touched his arm to let him know she was here for him.

Hook swallowed and approached the bed slowly, taking a seat in one of the chairs beside her. He scooted over closer and for a moment just....sat, so shocked and at a loss for words.
Finally he brushed a strand of her hair away from her face, stuck in a tranquil expression- so eerily calm and at peace," 'Lo Else.... I... I'm sorry I haven't been in sooner," he started, a rather gruff start, but it just felt so odd to be talking to somebody who couldn't talk back- least of all a silent Else. But if Ariel was right and she could hear.... this might be a good opportunity to say things to her he may not have said before," I... I didn't think I'd ever be the one visiting you in a hospital, and.... gods, now that I'm here this all just feels.... it's like a bad dream"
He ran is fingers through his hair and looked back at the window a moment, then back to her," You know, in Neverland all I had to do was believe you'd wake up... here, I can't really do that, you're going to have to wake up on your own..... Hans and Klaire and... and Ian all need you, and I'm sure Ariel needs you too" All at once this was turning into more of a desperate plea," and goddammit I'm going to need you again too, I miss you, Love"
He grimaced a little, not willing to sow his emotions but not quite being able to hold them back, finally he took her hand in his and lifted it gently to his lips," You have a lot of people here who love you, who need to hear your voice again- or for the first time.... or like me and just want to see you open your eyes again..."
He shuddered and quickly dried the wettness building in the corner of his eye

Ariel stood back by the window giving Killian a moment to talk with Else but she turned when she heard the pain in his voice. Unable to take her eyes off of him as she saw him as close to breaking down as she ever thought he might get.
It proved to her at least that he still very much had a heart no matter how much he hid behind his drinking and flirting. Killian did care about Else and this was killing him. Still he needed to be here to see her and to know that he couldn't just walk away when things got hard.
Ariel knew this was the reason that she fell for him so long ago and why she would still be there for him when he needed her always. Like when he came breaking into her place at 3 in the morning and Ariel let him sleep on her couch. She was always going to be there as his friend maybe apart of her would always wonder what it would be like to have more then that but she found herself not wanting it as bad as she used to.
She walked over to the chair on the other side of the bed and sat down when Killian looked a little better. Ariel felt her eyes tear up again Else just had to wake up and see her babies. Ariel couldn't think about what would happen if she didn't'.

The Captain cleared his throat and quickly stuffed away his feelings into the darker regions of his mind where they belonged. He stood and caressed her cheek one last time. Once he was sure his face showed no signs of tears having been shed.
He looked over to Ariel,"So... all we can do is wait then... there's nothing anyone can do?"

Ariel met his eyes across Else's bed, "There is nothing we can do... magic wont even help her at this point..." Ariel told him she walked around the bed.
"We can only be here and hope for the best." Ariel put her hand on his "I think it means a lot to her your here." He had pushed away his emotions but Ariel still saw them he was hurting and she wished there was something she could do to help him.
She looked back at Else, "Else your babies are perfect and they need their mother. Please come back to us." Ariel kissed Else's forehead breaking into soft sobs.

Whale came into Else Fitch's room... his heart always sinking a little to see the patient like that... being a new mother. The doctor had fond memories of his mother... to think that those children might grow up without theirs... well... it only inspired him to try harder; to keep her alive.
He he stepped in he saw Ariel, which was usual... but then he saw Hook. He did have great encounters with Hook... EVER. But this was the SECOND time he had appeared at a hospital, for Else. The two must have a strong friendship to inspire that kind of response out of the cold pirate. Well as long as he behaved... he wouldn't be thrown out.
"Good morning Ariel." Victor greeted warmly. Then glanced at the pirate. "Hook." He turned to Else, checking some monitor readings and examining her eyes. "And how is Else today?" He put his stethoscope up to her chest and listened. "Strong heart as ever. And her body is healing nicely. It's slow, but it is still progress..." He smiled at Ariel to assure her.

Hook gave a small nod to the Doctor before walking over to Ariel again. He really didn't care for the man- from what he'd heard the man was a complete quack, but he had kept Else alive. Which meant Hook could be cordial or at least civil with the man.
"How much 'progress' will she need to have made till she can... before she wakes up?" He asked hesitantly.

"Yes is there anything we can do?" Ariel asked. She noticed Killian coming over to her and Ariel took his hand. She needed him right now. Ariel felt like she was going to fall apart.
"I want to help her as much as I can..." Ariel admitted looking back at Else.

"We just have to let nature take it's course." He replied to their inquiries. "Her body experienced something very traumatic... physically and emotionally. It shut down to mend itself. But if it's strong enough to shut down to let itself repair, I firmly believe that it is strong enough to turn itself on. But WHEN... that is the question..."
He put a hand on Else's forehead... wishing to Darwin that he had magical powers to just summon her back instantly... but he was a master of science...not miracles. He withdrew his hand. "I would just keep doing what you have been. Visit, talk to her, encourage her... and keep showing your support to her family." He smiled at Ariel, knowing how ardent she was about caring for Fitch's family. "Now, if you two would excuse me..."
He left out the door.

"And that's it....we wait..." Hook sighed, he'd done quite a bit of 'waiting' in his lifetime... but this was unsettling. He had no control over what happened in the time he was waiting, what happened to his dear friend. Hook grit his teeth and broke away from Ariel, he went over to a chair and ran his fingers through his messy hair.
"How do you take this...?" He asked, voice barely above a whisper. He had experianced loss before, many times, but this was different. Being stuck between the two and uncertain of which outcome... it was new to him.

Ariel had never seen him so upset, "It's hard but then I am no stranger to losing people or dealing with loss I know your not either. You just have to hope for the best and do everything you can to wish for a good out come. I know Else would do anything for the twins she would give her own life in protecting them." Ariel took a breath this was hard for her,
"I never want to see that happen but I know if she has to be like this at least its from creating new life that we both know she struggled so hard for. I guess that really doesn't make me feel any better but its something. Plus she isn't gone yet we can't lose hope she wont get better and I refuse to give up on her." Ariel came back over to Else and held her hand. She prayed for the 100th time that day Else would wake up and see her babies.
"I wont stop coming to see her it doesn't matter how much it hurts you do it when you love someone she needs us both of us."

He didn't look at her awhile, taking Ariels words in. Finally he stood and went over to Ariel, placing an arm around her shoulder.
"I suppose your right, aren't you?" He said softly,"I'll come see her with you, now that it seems a part of my life has been opened p, time wise...."
Hook studied Else's face awhile,"Are you going o see Hans... and their twins today as well?"
