Luke had been watching Rena throughout the entire battle. He could just hear Obi Wan yelling at him to not worry about her, Rena was very capable of taking care of herself, but he couldn't help watch the one he loved. It would cost him a few cuts and bruises but he would live. Although he thought better of it when he saw the robot Rena had been fighting, jerk and saw Rena get thrown from it.. With one last swipe of his light saber at the robot in front of him he started to run. He tracked her to where she fell and then made his way to the roof as fast as possible. He slid down in front of her on his knees, "Rena??" Rena groaned slightly as she lay on the roof. Her leg was obviously broken. Her lightsaber was nowhere to be found and she lay there, her eyes barely open. He couldn't think of anything but just trying to get her some help. "We'll get you some help" He carefully picked her up, "Please hold on Rena" She groaned a little louder as he picked her up. "It hurts...." She rested her head on his shoulder. He almost stopped but he knew that if he didn't get her to someone who could help that she could possibly die from her wounds. "I know it does baby. I'm working on getting you to somewhere that can help okay? You just need to keep talking to me, Rena." She closed her eyes, her head was killing her. She silently prayed that the Force would return to them soon so she could heal. "Did I.....was it damaged?" "Was what damaged babe?" He really hoped she didn't ask about her body. He was pretty sure that she could feel how damaged she was though. "Keep your eyes open, Rena. Do not fall asleep on me" "The robot. Did I damage it?" She groaned as a pain shot up her leg. He walked as fast as he could down the steps of the tower she landed on. "I...yes...I think you did Rena" She smiled and nodded, though she kept her eyes closed. "I tried to fight but without the Force it was hard." "Rena!" He yelled, "Keep your eyes open! Look at me Rena!" He finally got off the steps, there are a whole lot of them, and ran out of the building looking for somewhere to take her. "I'm staying awake, Luke." She sighed. "My head hurts." She blinked a couple of times as she looked at him. "I know it does baby and I'm sorry I'm yelling at you" He hated yelling at her. He still wasn't familiar with the island as much as Rena was, "Tell me where the hospital is Rena, focus on that." "It's....it's over there." She sighed, pointing in the direction of the hospital. She coughed a few times and groaned. "Oh....." A tear rolled down her cheek. His heart almost stopped when he saw that tear. "Okay...okay we're going" He walked as fast as he could to the hospital, "Just keep talking to me baby. " "It hurts so much, Luke.....everything hurts." She coughed again and whimpered. "I know..I know it does baby" He gets her closer to the hospital and started to yell for someone to help. As soon as they got into the doors, Steve made his way over with a gurney. "Put her down here. I'll go get one of the doctors." He carefully places Rena on the gurney. He's got blood all over him but he doesn't care. He strokes her face and brushes her hair back, "Look at me baby....I love you" She took his hand, groaning a little again but she managed a smile. "I love you too." She kissed the palm of his hand. "We're going to get married." He nodded and grinned down at her, "yes, we are going to get married love. You have to be here for that though okay? So stick with me, promise me?" She nodded. "I promise." She smiled and winced a little. Calleigh walked over and looked at Luke, then at Rena. "Can you tell me what's wrong?" Rena sighed. "My chest hurts, and my head. And I think my leg is broken." She winced. Calleigh looked at her leg. "Well, yes. That's definitely broken." She sighed. "I'm going to need to set that. And we'll need some x-rays." She bit her lip. Luke leaned down and kissed Rena's lips before pulling back, "Can I stay with her?" He was almost afraid to leave. "I will stay out of the way. I swear" Calleigh nodded. "Yeah. I might need your help, actually." She sighed. "You'll need to stay here while I take her to x-ray, but you can be with her after that." He nodded, relief written on his face, "Thank you. Thank you so much" He looked down at Rena, "You have to promise me you will stay awake until the next time we meet" Rena nodded, squeezing his hand. "I will. I promise. I love you." He kissed her hand and then let go, "I love you most, Rena" Steve came over and started to move the gurney. He smiled at Luke. "She's in good hands, I promise." Luke looked up from her and meets Steve's eyes, "Don't let her fall asleep." "I won't." He nodded. He didn't know why it was so important for her not to fall asleep. He wasn't a doctor but he thought if she did then he wouldn't see her again. Like when Master Yoga ws so tired and fell asleep and then he was gone. "Thank you" About half an hour later, Calleigh came out to find Luke. Rena was done with x-rays and was being taken to a room. He was relieved to see that she was finished and being taken to a room. He followed Calleigh to where they had her and was immediately by her side, his hand in hers. Rena smiled, squeezing his hand. Calleigh looked over the x-rays. "Along with a broke leg, you've got a few broken ribs and from what I can tell, you've also got a concussion. You'll need to stay awake until tomorrow morning." She sighed, rubbing the small of her back for a second. "And I'm going to need to set that leg." She turned and looked at Luke. "We're short staffed here so I'm going to need your help." He looked up at Calleigh as she rattled off all that was wrong with his love. "Will she be okay?" That was all he was worried about. Whether she was going to live or died, the rest he could get through with her. "Set here leg?" He wasn't familiar with that. "I'll help you in any way I can" "She should be fine with a lot of rest. And she'll need to stay off that leg." Calleigh made her way over to the bed. "I'm not exactly in a condition to do this so I'm going to have to walk you through it, okay?" She ran her hand over her belly. She wasn't that big, but she felt like she was huge. Luke finally looked at someone that wasn't Rena and noticed the swell to her stomach, "You're having a baby? Of course I will help then. You shouldn't do this while in that condition" He let go of Rena's hand only after kissing it and stepped over to where Calleigh stood, "Tell me what to do." Calleigh smiled. It was nice that he was paying too much attention to his girlfriend to notice her. "Alright. It's a simple fracture to the tibia so it's easy to set. You need to grab her ankle and put your other hand on her knee." He followed her instructions to the T. This was Rena he was doing this for so he was not going to mess this up. "Okay...is this going to hurt her?" He asked as an after thought. Calleigh nodded. "It is, but only for a minute." Rena smiled down at Luke. "It's okay, Luke. It has to be done." She smiled. He nodded as he looked down at her again, "Okay...I'm sorry" He looked back at Calleigh, "I'm ready." Calleigh nodded. "Now, keep your hand on her knee, just a little bit of pressure, and I need you to pull hard and fast on her ankle." He knows exactly what will happen then and he cringes as he does it. He holds on lightly to her knee and puts everything he has into pulling hard on her ankle. There was a crack as the bone snapped into place and Rena screamed, unable to stop it. She gripped the bed and tears rolled down her cheeks. He cried out with her because he felt it in her ankle when her bone popped back into place. He let go of her leg and cupped her face, "Shhh...i'm so sorry baby" He wiped her tears and kissed her lips, "It's over now...it'll feel better now" She put her hands over his and kissed back, looking into his eyes. "I love you. So much." She kissed him again. He pressed his lips against hers firmly then pulled back to gently rest his forehead against hers, "I love you most." She smiled. Calleigh cleared her throat, trying to keep from crying herself. It was just beautiful seeing them. She shook her head. "Um, we're going to have to put a cast on it. And you'll need to stay off of it until it heals." He had forgotten that Calleigh was there so he jumped a little when she cleared her throat. He blushed and turned to look at her, his face still so close to Rena's, "I will make sure she is the perfect patient" He smiled at her Rena laughed, then winced. "He really will." She shook her head. Calleigh smiled. "We need to get those ribs wrapped as well. Nothing too strenuous for a while, okay?" She winked at them and went to go get the necessary supplies. Rena blushed a little and looked at Luke. Luke blushed like a tomato and laughed turning his face back to Rena "I'm going to have to keep my hands to myself until you can move without wincing" He kissed her, "But I'll never stop kissing you" She touched his cheek and smiled. "I don't want you to stop kissing me." He leaned into her touch, "I won't, Rena. You have my word, baby. We're going to get married" He smiled "and you're going to look like her one day" She chuckled. "Not any time soon, though. Okay?" She kissed him again. He shrugged and kissed her back, "Can't make any promises." He fingered the strains of hair around her face and whispered, "I thought I had lost you." "You're not getting rid of me that easy, Skywalker." She smiled. Calleigh came back and smiled at Luke. "If you'll excuse me, I'll get her all nice and patched up. She'll need to stay here for a couple of days, though." "I better not, Antilles" He couldn't wait until she was a Skywalker. He kissed her once more then addressed Calleigh, "Do you want my help?" "No, thank you. It won't take that long." She nodded. Rena smiled at him. "Go wait outside, Luke. It'll be alright." "Oh okay" He winked at Rena then made his way out of the hospital room. After about an hour, Calleigh came out of the room and smiled. "She's all yours." She patted Luke's shoulder. "She can go home in a couple of days." He had been pacing the hallway waiting for them to be finished. "Thank you!" He grinned at her and walked back into the room. "You're all mine now" He walked over and kissed her lips. Rena kissed back and smiled. "Good." He grabbed a chair and sat down next to her, "Does it hurt too horribly?" She shook her head. "She wanted to give me pain medication but I told her to save it for those worse off." He sighed, "You need them just as bad as the others do." She shook her head, shifting a little on the bed. "I'm fine, Luke. I can handle the pain." He smiled, "I know you can love" He leaned in and kissed her forehead, "You're stubborn to your core" "I need to check on Kytana. Make sure she's okay. Can you do that for me?" "I can do that for you." He squeezed her hand and kissed it, "Do you want me to do that now?" She nodded. "Yes, please. And can you go down to the beach and make sure that Micha is okay? I can't....I would do it myself but without the Force...." She sighed. "Babe, I can do this" He kissed her softly then stood up from the chair, "I'll come right back once I know." She kissed back and nodded. "Be safe, okay?" He smiled and kissed her once more, "You know I will be" He lets go of her hand after he squeezed it gently then turns and walks out of the room. |
