“Yeah well… I can talk… What is worrying me, are my ears… can you guys just NOT yell next time?” she said in her familiar low voice. I couldn’t speak… my eyes were watering.

She’s alive… she made it!

“I’m gonna go get Dr. Stevens” Bette said and went away.

“How you feel?” Alice asked.

Shane was all smiles, looking happy to see us all.

“Don’t. Don’t make her talk Alice…Shane, you should rest”

“I feel fine guys…”

“You aren’t so pale anymore so that’s good” Jenny said.

“She’s awake?” Izzy said coming in.

“Yes I think I am” she said in a weak, tired, voice.

“Its good to have you back Shane… it’s not the same without you” Izzy said looking very happy and proud of her patient.

“I know right?” she whispered. Cocky as ever. But we don’t care right now.

I’m just happy she woke up.

“Oh so her attitude didn’t change? Fuck! I was hopping a little less confidence, you know?” Alice said and we all laughed.

“Never!” we laughed again… we all were at the verge of tears, all of us looking at her.

“…Guys…really, I’m okay”

“Ladies, I know we are all exited but we have to let Shane sleep,”

“No… I don’t need sleep”

“You sound like you do… and also, the more sleep you get, the quicker you can get out of here.”

“But how is my new heart… is it… good?”

“Its more than perfect Shane… as if it was made for you,” her smile got bigger “Okay, okay, guys, let’s get out and let her sleep” Izzy threw us out and we were all jumping of happiness. Bette was on the phone giving someone the good news, then again so was Alice, and Helena… My phone starts to ring. I answer it.

“Yeah?”

“Is this Carmen de la pica Morales?”

“Who’s asking?”

“This is Officer James…”

A policeman? What the fuck?

“Um… Yes this is she”

“I understand you are the wife of Nikky Stevens, is that right?”

“Yes”

“I’m calling from Los Angeles Central Jail. I have her under custody. Are you available to come and get her?”
