CHAPTER EIGHT: BACK HOME

---

Ray was being discharged from the hospital, much to the joy of both he and Neela. He was three days since they had both told each other how they felt, and they had spent as much of that time together as they could. Neela had been given a week off to look after Ray, and she was excited about the prospect of being it being just her and Ray, uninterrupted for seven whole days!

Ray was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for DuBenko to come and give him his discharge papers, and take out the IV… the only part of the morning which Ray wasn't looking forward too. Tapping his fingers on the rail of the bed, Ray snapped his head up and smiled when he saw it was Neela, a huge smile covering her face.

'Hey. DuBenko not came by yet?' Neela questioned as she walked over and sat on the bed beside Ray, taking his free hand in her own and interlocking her fingers with his.

Shaking his head, Ray answered, 'Not yet, but he's probably still doing rounds'

Reaching her free hand up, Neela ran it through Ray's hair as she said,

'You look cute without hair gel…kinda reminds me of your first day'

Nuzzling his nose into her neck, mainly to hide the blush that had crept up his neck and into his cheeks, Ray said,

'Ha, ha. You should quit medicine and become a comedian'

Just as Neela went to answer, the sound of knocking on the door brought both hers and Ray's attention to the door, revealing a slightly tired looking DuBenko.

'Good morning Ray, Neela. I see that you are very eager to get going' joked the older doctor as he walked into the room and stood in front of Ray, and began to do a quick examination to make sure that Ray was in fact healthy enough to go home. Obviously satisfied, DuBenko stood up and replaced his stethoscope around his neck as he made his way over to the cabinet and pulled out a band-aid and cotton ball.

Feeling sick already, Ray turned his head the other way as DuBenko skillfully removed the thin needle from within his arm, placing the cotton ball over it to clot the blood before he taped down the band-aid.

Turing his head to face Neela, Ray mock scowled at her as he saw her trying to hide a smile.

'Are you laughing at me?' Ray said, and was shocked when Neela nodded. But he was even more shocked when he heard DuBenko let out a small laugh.

'You too! God!'

Neela swung her arm over Rays shoulder, squeezing with her hand as she said,

'Well I mean, how did you get all of those tattoos if you can't even get a flu shot?

And before he could even defend himself, although he knew the fight was futile, Neela quickly leaned over and kissed him on the lips, and he felt her smiling.

Pulling back, Neela stood up and made her way to the door,

'I'm just going to go and get the car and then come back up O.K. Goodbye Dr Dubenko' Neela said as she left, leaving both men smiling.

'Well here are your discharge papers, and if you have any pain call immediately. There are after care instructions and medication.' Dubenko said before he made his way out of the room, leaving Ray to get dressed.

Neela had brought her car round to the front of the hospital and was back on the ward that Ray was in. Making her way to his room, she pushed the door open without knocking and quickly shut it again.

'Sorry!' She shouted, and heard laughter from the other side.

'S'okay, you can come in' Ray laughed, and finished pulling his t-shirt over his head.

Walking in Neela sat in the chair beside the bed and waited as Ray finished getting ready. When he was done, he stood up and took her hand in his own, and they both made their way to the car, both wanting to get home and spend the day together like they hadn't gotten the chance to over the past few days.

---

Walking up the stairs to the apartment, Neela pushed the key into the lock, and turned the handle. Leading Ray in, she walked over to the couch and flopped onto it, Ray mimicking her action.

Lying on his side, Ray placed his legs in Neela's lap, a smile glowing on his face as she tried to feign anger, unsuccessfully.

'You know you love it' Ray said in a sing song voice, challenging Neela.

Quirking one eye-brow, Neela began to run her finger back and forth over Rays shin bone, causing a tickling sensation as she said,

'Yes, looking after your pretty little head is what I aim to live for' Neela eventually said, deadpan.

Shaking his head in agreement, Ray quickly retorted,

'They always say the first step is admitting the problem'

And in a flash, Neela was on top of Ray, her face mere millimeters from his, the tips of their noses touching as she said,

'And how exactly does the good doctor think I can…fix this problem?'

Lifting his hand up and running it through her hair, Ray lifted his lips to hers in a gentle kiss.

---

It was a few hours later and both were lying in Neela's bed, wrapped in the sheets. Rays head was resting on Neelas chest as he steadied his breathing, Neela running her fingers through his hair, thinking about the wonderful time they had just shared. She had never loved anyone like Ray before, and was glad that she had finally found her soul-mate.

---

It was nine months later and Neela and Ray where back in the hospital, only this time it was Neela who occupied the bed, for a much happier reason. They had just had their first child, a baby girl. She had hers mothers raven hair, and her fathers beautiful eyes. Her skin was a mix between the two, making her the most beautiful baby anyone had ever seen.

Holding his daughter in his arms, Ray felt the tears at the sides of his eyes as he looked over at his fiancée, her face still shiny with sweat and her hair pulled back.

'She's beautiful' Ray whispered, his eyes gazing at his, soon-to-be wife.

Reaching over to place her hand on top of Rays, Neela said,

'I know…and I love you for giving her to me'

With a smile, Ray set the baby back in the cot, and sat on the edge of the bed. Taking Neelas hand in his own, he lifted it and kissed the back of it before saying,

'I love you too'
