JC opens his eyes to cold, white room with what seemed to be very bright lights. He tries to sit up a bit, but when his head begins swimming, decides better of it.
"Lay down Rose. I'll get you what ever you need." Justin states from somewhere near JC's waist.
"J? Where am I? Why are the lights so bright?"
"You're in the hospital sweetie. You passed out."
"Yeah, I've passed out before and you all never drug me off to the hospital. Why now?"
"Rose. You're pregnant. I'm not taking any chances with that."
"I'm fine, J. You know I don't like hospitals."
"Well, my new little charge has awoke," the nurse states walking into the room. "Bout time sweetie. We were starting to worry about you."
"Yep, he's finally awake." Justin smiles.
JC sits up, "How long do I have to stay here?"
The nurse smiles at her, "You have to stay for a couple more days, deary. The doctor wants to run some tests on you and wants to make sure the baby is ok."
"Um..." JC ducks his head and blushes. "What kind of tests?"
"Just some bloodwork. He wants to make sure you're really ok."
"J? You did explain to the doctor right?"
"About what Rose?"
"About why I pass out on a regular basis."
"Oh, yeah. He just wants to make sure that's really why you passed out this time." Justing leans in and whispers, "I didn't tell him anything else."
"Thanks J. I appreciate it."
Justin kisses Rose's forehead, "I told you, you don't have to keep thanking me all the time. I'm here for you, no matter what."
"Well...I can still thank you from time to time, can't I?"
"Yes. No I better go get your mom before she freaks out something serious."
"You need to put your arm out. I need to get some blood sweetie." The nurse smiles.
"You need to what?"
"I have to draw some blood for the tests the doctor wants to run."
"Oh, ok." JC pales even whiter than he was.
"Are you ok?"
"Um...yeah. Just don't like needles very much."
"Oh." She sticks the needle into his arm just in time for his mom to walk in and JC to pass out again.
"Well....It's nice to know somethings will never change." Karen says as she walks over to JC's bedside.
"What do you mean, Mrs. Chasez?" The nurse asks.
"She has never been found of getting her blood drawn. Since she was a little girl, she's always passed out cold at the site of needles."
"Really? I don't think I"ve ever seen anyone that was that bad. Usually they just tense up."
"Yep. My baby can handle anything but needles." Justin smiles.
The nurse walks out of the room shaking her head, "Well...I never."
"She up to having any visitors yet?" Chris asks, peeking in.
"She will be in a minute." Justin smiles, leans down and whispers, "Jayce, come on. The guys are here. Open those gorgeous eyes up."
JC brings a hand up to Justin's face, "I wanna go home." He whispers, then opens his eyes.
"Soon sweetie. I promise."
The rest of the guys walk into the room.
JC opens his eyes and looks at the guys, "Where's Joe?"
"He didn't think you'd want him here. He went back to New York." Lance states with satisfaction.
JC frowns, "Oh."
"Jayce," Justin sighs. "I know it hurts but...."
"No, I just thought he'd stick around to see if I was ok. I mean if you guys were all worried...."
Lance leans into Chris and whispers, "Maybe we shouldn't have chased him off."
"Rose sweetie, you gotta get over him. Look at the way he's been treating you." Karen stated.
"I know, I just thought..." He looks at Justin.
Justin reaches up and wipes the tears away that had started to run down JC's cheeks, "Sweetie, he didn't feel comfortable at the house." Justin turns at looks at Chris and Lance, "He was feeling a bit intimidated."
"Good," Chris mumbles.
"What? What'd you say Chris?" JC asks.
"I said good. I don't like the way he treated you. He deserves to be more than a little uncomfortable."
"Guys." JC sighs. "I thought I made it clear that I don't want you all giving him a hard time about this. This is between him, Justin and I. Please stay out of it."
"Ok, we will for now." Lance states. "But he better watch himself."
Lance and Chris leave the room as the doctor walks in. "I need to see the patient alone for a few minutes please."
Justin pats JC's shoulder, "I'll be right outside the door if you need me."
"K."
"So...how you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine. I'd really like to go home."
"I'm sorry, but that won't be happening for a while I'm afraid."
