Three (Nico)

Pain. Seating, stabbing pain. That's all I can feel. I'm in darkness, pitch black. Breathing is hard, moving is hard. Everything is hard and heavy. I can't move. I can't breathe. I can't see.

I try to speak. I don't think any real words came out other than mumbles and slurs. "Nico?" I hear someone say. I try to lift my eyelids and I make out shadows and blurred lights. Why am I moving so quickly? Why do I ache? "Nico?" I hear once again, either someone was saying my name or it was my mind playing tricks on me, at this point I don't know.

I just want to sleep. I feel my eyes close. I don't know if I'm breathing I don't know. I feel a surge of electricity shoot through me and I'm brought back with a gasp for air. "Where...where am I?" I manage to utter after several tries "you're in the hospital" replied someone, I think it was Levi. "I ache all over, what happened?" I asked I don't know if I want to know the answer

"You were hit by a car" replied the same voice. I'm sure it's Levi but my vision is a blur still. "Is it bad?" I ask, referring to my body "you have a broken leg but that should be healed soon, it was mainly abdominal bleeding and a few open wounds needed stitching and I think you have a broken rib but there wasn't much we could do about that" replied a different voice "can you tell me who is in the room? My vision isn't all that good at the moment, I'm still adjusting" I ask

"Levi, Meredith and Owen" replied Levi. I nod, I think I do anyway, I'm not sure anymore. "Ok, thanks guys" I say. After a moment I hear footsteps "it's just me, Levi, now" says Levi, i smile and when I blink my vision clears up and returns "my vision is back to normal now and thank god it is because I've missed that sexy face" I say, Levi blushes and I rub my hand over his cheek "did Loren call?"I asked, Levi nods

"What did she say?" I asked, Levi puts his hand on mine "they need us in for another interview next week, you should be discharged by then, and that will tell us about the house check, mental health check and all the other checks needed in order to adopt a child" replied Levi. I nod and think about it. The future. If we do get children. I imagine a boy and a girl running around in the garden, playing on a swinger, we would get a Wendy house for the little girl or the boy if he likes it too and we'd go out for family trips and be the ideal family.

I smile and sigh at the thought of a perfect yet so unrealistic future ahead. Childcare. We need to think about childcare. We can bring them to the daycare it's fine. I sigh with relief "Nico!" I'm snapped out of my daydream by Levi who looked rather worried "sorry, I zoned out" I say, Levi exhales

"You almost gave me a freaking heart attack!" Exclaimed Levi, I laugh at his worry "you know, you did this not much over a year ago to me, indicating your heart failed twice" I reply, Levi laughs a little bit then his eyes cloud over with I don't know what "Nico, your heart failed 4 times, we almost called time of death twice, you're lucky to be alive" says Levi, shit. Shit.

"Four times?" I ask astonished, Levi nods and I sigh. For gods sake. Then I feel it again. The heaviness in my eyelids, the tightness in my chest, my shortness of breath. I can't feel anything I'm going numb. I feel paralyzed. My eyes are slowly giving way and all I see is darkness. I feel a burning in my lungs due to a lack of air and I try to cry out. Ask for help anything. And then there was darkness.

I felt a surge of electricity and one short breath but still nothing. Then another surge of electricity and a breath but still nothing. Come on! Fight! *Fight back you coward!* One last surge of electricity runs through my veins and finally I jolt up with a gasp and a choke. I need to be more careful. I need to stay alive.

"Nico. do not do that to me ever again. I fought you were gonna die" said Levi and then. He starts to cry. Shit. I've never seen him cry before. I don't do emotion what do I do? I get so confused that I cry too and i don't know how to feel about it. We say nothing we sit there cuddled into each other's arms crying. It felt nice. Calming, relaxing even.

But then Levi's pager went off and he has to go. My phone started to ring. It's Loren. I pick it up worriedly "hello" I say "hi, Mr Nico Schmitt?" Asked Loren, I nod "yes that's me" I reply.

"I've heard you've had an accident which I'm terribly sorry about so I decided if I could ask you some questions here and now?" Asked Loren, I thought about it but then questioned my decision. Screw it "sure thing" I reply, I'm sure Levi will understand

"Will you mind if you get twins? We can't separate them from each other" asked Loren "I don't see a problem with twins no" I reply, there's a silence for a moment "I do have to state now that you do get to say whether you have a particular preference to the gender of the child unfortunately; you may not get the gender you wish but we just want to give every child a home which I hope satisfies you and you are content with this" says Loren "that's perfect" I say

"Right ok, your house search is two weeks from now. I shall see you then" says Loren "bye" I say. I hang up the phone and rest my eyes.
