Matt's POV

I sat in the waiting room of the hospital with Jess, Sarah, Brian, Jimmy, Leana, Zacky, Gena, Johnny, Lacey, the guy named Sam and two other people who had been here before we were. I stood up and started pacing. We were waiting on the third floor because apparently that’s where they did head surgery for people. Whatever. Just as long as Rebecca got fixed. On the way to the hospital, Rebecca had lost consciousness because of blood loss. I had been sitting right next to her, holding her hand when she had lost consciousness. I could see her face in my head, the look on her face as she had faded away from me. Her eyes were glazing over, her hand lost it's grip on mine and her head tilted to the side. Right now she was in surgery so that the doctors could see if there is anything wrong. The EMT told us that the wound should have healed by now, but for some reason it didn't.

"Matt, you should sit down," Jess said to me. I shot a glare over at him.

"Sit down? How can I sit down when Rebecca is there having people poke around inside her head?" I yelled at him.

"You think we all don't know that? That's my baby sister in there. If she dies than what's the point in me even being here. She means everything to me. Even more than my own mother. I'd do anything for her!" He yelled back. He stood up and got in my face. Jess was a pretty tall guy, he looked to be about 6 feet. But I still had a few inches on him. I glared down at him and growled low in my throat. "You don't scare me, Sanders," He said lowly.

"But I will. She means more to me than anything in this whole entire world. She's my mate and unlike gods who cheat on their spouses, I would never dream of hurting Rebecca like that. Nothing other than Rebecca turns me on or even makes me think about being turned on. If she told me to do something, I would. Anything at all. If she asked me to steal something, I would. If she asked me to kill someone, I would. If she asked me to wake up at 3 in the morning to go get her something to eat or some shit like that, I would. Without hesitation. Like I said, she's my mate and I would do anything for her," I said, my voice holding all kinds of menace. Jess glared back at me. I leaned in closer to his face and whispered darkly, "Anyone. Anything. I'll do it for her." We stood there and stared at each other for a few minutes and then Jess looked away, defeated. I sighed and looked down at my feet. "I'm sorry man."

"It's okay. She's just important to me."

"I know she is." Jess sighed and then sat down. I sat down next to him. We sat there in silence for who knows how long and I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at the wall. Someone cleared their throat just then.

Jess and I looked over and saw the doctor standing there. The glared left my face and worry set in. The doctor was holding a big envelope in his hands and he had a grim look on his face. "Um...Rebecca Cross' family." Everyone stood up. The guy looked a little confused until Jess stepped up.

"I'm her brother. And this is her fiancé, Matt." Jess gestured to me. I got up and walked over to them. I stood next to Jess and looked at the doctor.

“Family only. I’m sorry, sir,” The doctor said. I kept the growl to myself.

“I don’t care what the rule is. I’m a part of this family,” I said through gritted teeth.

“He can stay here and listen. He is a part of this family. So tell us what’s going on?” Jess said and glared at the doctor. The doctor gulped and looked between us. He cleared his throat and I crossed my arms over my chest.

“U-Um she’s stabilized now, but we found that she has a brain tumor in her head. That’s why she was bleeding so much. We were going to take it out, but she woke up during the middle of the surgery and started thrashing about. We sedated her, but we didn’t take the tumor out. So I’m here to ask for your permission to take out the tumor.” Jess and I didn’t even have to think about it.

“Yes,” We said at the same time. The doctor nodded and was beginning to say something else, when all of a sudden a shrill scream came from down the hallway. We didn’t know where the scream came from until I heard my name.

“WHERE THE FUCK IS MATTHEW CHARLES SANDERS? I WANT HIM NOW!” I pushed the doctor and Jess out of the way and ran down the hallway to Rebecca. Of course I didn’t know which room she was in.

“REBECCA?” I shouted.

“MATT!” I followed her voice and ran into room 324. I saw a nurse trying to calm her down. She looked up at me and smiled wide. She stretched her arms out to me and I ran over to her immediately. I hugged her tight and kissed all over her face. She started to cry and held me tighter to her. “Matt, what’s wrong with me?” I swallowed hard and looked at her.

“You have a brain tumor. But the doctor said that he’s gonna go in and take it out. Then you’ll be fine. I promise you. You’re gonna be fine.” I kissed her lips and held her close. I could feel her tears on my cheeks and wished that I could take them away and take away all of this for her. I wiped her tears away and slipped my tongue into her mouth. She pulled away and yelped in pain. “What? What’s wrong?”

“The baby is kicking.” She said through gritted teeth. I kissed the top of her head and leaned down to her stomach. I rubbed and kissed it.

“You really need to stop kicking and hurting momma,” I said in a gentle voice.

“Don’t say that. That’s the only way we’ll know he’s alive.” She chuckled and the sound was like music to my ears. I came back up to her face.

“But I don’t like that when he kicks, he hurts you.”

“It’s okay. I’ll deal with it.” She kissed me once and then a nurse walked in.

“Excuse me? We have to prep her for surgery.” I nodded and pulled away from Rebecca. She grabbed onto my hand and wouldn’t let me go.

“You kind of need to let go of me so that they can prep you.”

“No. You stay.” She wrapped her other hand around my arm.

“Rebecca, come on.”

“No. You stay with me,” She pleaded. I sighed and stood next to her.

“Okay. I can’t say no when you make the puppy dog face at me.” I smiled down at her and pushed the hair out of her face. I watch as the nurse put an IV in Rebecca’s hand and then tape it on so that it would stay in place. Another nurse walked in and had an electric razor in his hand. I’m guessing Rebecca saw it too because she started moving away from it.

“No. No way. You’re not getting anywhere near my hair with that. No.” She pulled the blanket off of her and started getting out of bed. I put my hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her down.

“Rebecca, you gotta let them do this. It’s the only way to help you. So let the man shave off your hair,” I reasoned.

“No!” Then she sighed and layed back down. “Fine. Just do it.” She let go of my hand, crossed her arms over her chest and glared up at me. I smiled down at her.

“I love you too,” I said and tried to play with her hair. She hit my hand away.

“I’m gonna get you. I’m doing this for you and I’m gonna get you. I swear it,” She sneered. I chuckled and patted her head.

“I don’t doubt that.” The nurse with the razor came over, plugged it in and then turned it on.

“May you please sit up?” The nurse asked. Rebecca nodded and sat up. She turned so that her back was facing the nurse and her front was facing me. The nurse brought the razor to the front of her head and pulled back, a single straight line without any hair. The nurse did it again and again until her whole head was bald. When the nurse was done, he turned off the razor and then left. Rebecca felt her head, got off the bed and went into the bathroom. I heard her gasp and watched from where I stood as she rubbed her head. I looked down and saw that the nurse didn’t take the razor. I looked back up at Rebecca; she was still rubbing her head.

“Babe, why don’t you go to the bathroom before you have to go for surgery?” I suggested.

“Okay,” She said, not even looking at me. She closed the door and turned on the fan that was in there. I smiled and grabbed the razor. I turned it on and brought it up to my head. I brought it down my head again and again until my whole head was bald. I turned off the razor and set it back down. I remembered that I had a hat in my back pocket. I took it out and waited until Rebecca walked back out. “My head is completely bald.”

“I know baby. Come here.” I held my arms open and she walked into them. I kissed the top of her head and smiled to myself. “Hey. I got a surprise for you.” I pulled away and smiled down at her.

“And what would that be?” She looked up at me and smiled a little. I pulled my hat off and her eyes went wide. I smiled wider and laughed a little.

“Now you don’t have to worry about being the only one without any hair.” I wrapped my arms around her waist.

“You shaved your head for me?” She asked and tears came to her eyes.

“Yes. Awe. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you cry.” She shook her head and smiled.

“No. I’m crying happy tears. Thank you,” She said and kissed me. I kissed her back and slid my tongue into her mouth. I played with her tongue and explored her mouth. Someone cleared their throat and we pulled away.

“What?” Rebecca asked and then looked at the door.

“It’s time for her surgery,” The doctor said. I nodded, swept her up and placed her in the bed. She smiled and kissed my neck. I moaned quietly and smiled.

“Babe, I’ll see you when you get out.” I kissed her forehead and walked out of the room and into the waiting room, smiling like an idiot.
