Visits {Don/Open}

[Nuala Shannon]

Nuala had stayed by Don's side for the last week, only leaving to go to the washroom or to get something to eat. She'd gone home after Don had told her to, but only to change. Now she sat on the side of his bed, holding his hand. "Just think, in a few more days I can take you home. And by home I mean my place where I can keep an eye on you when I'm not at work." She said, kissing his forehead.

[Don Flack]

Don was slowly feeling better rand moving around more. Even walking down th hospital halls twice a day. He knew that Nuala was always at his side and he loved her even more for that.

" Nuala, I really appreciate you being her with me. And helping me through this. I think if it wasn't for you that I would have given up. Oh, your place? " Don smiled.

"Speaking of work. When can I go back to work? I'm bored already." Don wasn't the kind of guy who liked to lay around and do nothing for very long.

[Nuala Shannon]

"Just being a dutiful girlfriend." Nuala smiled back. She picked up her glass of water and took a sip, watching Don. He was making very good progress, and she could tell he was getting restless staying in the hospital. "Yes, my place. I don't know why, but it just seems like the right place to take you." She chuckled.

"Aw, Baby, don't say that." She frowned when Don said he would have given up if it hadn't been for her. "You're a fighter, and I know you would have fought to stay alive."She kissed him, resting a hand over his heart. "I don't think you'd give up because you love your job too much."

Raising an eyebrow, she looked at him. "Ready to go back so soon? Most guys in your position would enjoy the time off." Nuala teased. "I'm honestly not sure, you'd have to ask Mac about that. I think he may come by. He came by a couple of days ago, but you were having a nap at that point."

[Don Flack]

Don liked the sound of girlfriend. " Baby, that sounds so good. The word girlfriend. AS long as we are together and we can be alone. I'm sorry I missed Mac. You should have woke me up. "

Don shivered slightly when Nuala touched him. He just wasn't expecting it and her touch felt so good. "Sweetheart, I do love my job, but it's only a job. At the end of the day I still didn't have anybody special to go home to... that is until now. "

"Now baby, you should remember that I'm not most guys. I'm ready to go back now. By the way did we get this perp off of the street, or did I get shot for nothing ?"

[Nuala Shannon]

"Oh I can promise we'll be alone... For the most part." She chuckled, over the moon that they were finally together again. "I suppose you'll get the odd detective or CSI coming to see if you're ok. Maybe your sister will show up." She shrugged, wondering whether Samantha even had her address.

"I wasn't about to wake you up because the doctor said you needed your rest." Nuala said, tracing her fingers across his chest. "Besides, Mac said he'd come back." She blushed when he said that he now had someone to come home to. "Darling, you'll always have me to come home to now. Let's just hope my parents don't start asking for grandchildren." She grumbled.

"Yeah, I took him down and cuffed him before rushing to your side. I think I shocked him when I managed to take him down in four inch heels."

[Don Flack]

"That's my girl" Don kissed Nuala gently on the lips. "I can always call Sam and let her know that I am alright. I think I better do that. She will worry when she calls my place and no one answers the phone. "

"Mmmmm alone with you again sound so good. And you will always have me to come home to. Grandchildren?" Don moved back in his bed. Just realizing what Nuala said. I hope they like this grandson of an Irish emigrant, but grandchildren? Well, maybe later. " Don smiled.

[Nuala Shannon]

"I'm sure Samantha won't mind coming to visit you at my place." She blushed, kissing Don back. "I'll let you call when you get back to my place. Can't use cell phones in hospitals remember?"

"Hey there mister," Nuala said, tapping him on the nose. "No strenuous activities for a while. I don't want that wound to reopen."
She stated, trying to sound like a concerned girlfriend. Chuckling, she shook her head. "Look at us, both of us not able to do too much because of injuries." She noticed Don back up in his bed. "Honey, I don't want children right now. Not in the line of work we're in. My parents will just have to deal with no grandchildren."

[Mac Taylor]

Mac walked down the hallway to Don's room. He had stopped by before, only to find a sleeping Don and Nuala sitting reading a book. So here he was coming to visit again to see how Don was doing. Knocking on the door, he looked in to the room, seeing Don and Nuala talking. He was pretty sure they were an item, but he wouldn't say anything as long as it didn't hinder their work.

"Hey, am I interrupting anything?" He inquired, stepping into the room.

[Don Flack]

Don smiled at Haula. He was glad that she was by h is side. OK I will call sis from your place. Yeah, I heard something about no cell phones in hospitals." He teased.
"Aaww, none at all, darling ? That's no fun." Don was enjoy ing teasing Nuala. I don't want children right now either, babe. I think both your parents and my dad will have to wait. I agree, our work isn't the best job to raise children. "

Don saw Mac come in the door. "Hey ,Mac. Hi come on in. No, Nuala was just telling me herpost hospital plans forme. " Don smiled. "Glad to see you. You neve rinterupt, Mac. You are always welcome." Don was truly glad to see his boss and friend.
