Oh shit

I keep my eyes on the nurse as she saunters around the room. It was an overly exaggerated walk like she was trying to do the hula and walk the runway at the same time. Did Bill think women actually walked like this? The nurse walked over to the silver table and pulled out a tray covered in silver foil. As she sets the tray in front of me she turns to Mabel.

"You know dear there's some coffee in the vending machine down the hall. Why don't you get yourself a cup? I'll take care of this cutie" The nurses voice is high and lilting like a bad impression forced through a puppet, even her compliments sounded wrong.

Mabel looked to me then to her then nodded walking out of the room. The nurse didn't turn her head as Mabel left her blue eyes pinned directly to me. As my sisters footsteps faded the nurse grinned. Her mouth opened mumbling girbberish getting faster and faster. Her eyes began to roll into the back of her head now i could only see the whites of her eyes. A yellow hue began to overtake her as her body lifted off the air by her torso. Her mumbling became incoherent as the yellow hue took form.

The nurse fell beyond my site from the bed landing with a thump on the floor. Bills shape became corporeal as he looked to me.

"Dipper" his voice choked as his arms wrapping around me tightly. I could smell dirt and pine in his hair. It felt safe in his arms like no time had actually passed between us. I look into his eyes as I realised something

"Is she going to be alright?" I point to where the nurse fell. Bill looked puckering his lips for a moment in thought.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, I wasn't in there for long. I saw your Uncles talking to her and realised she was going to see you. A pretty flawless plan if I do say so myself" Bill crowed to himself, I snorted pushing him away.

"Hardly, you make a terrible woman" Bill stared at me as he put on an exaggerated front.

"Excuse me I happen to be a fantastic actor. I am a demon master of disguise and king over the second dimension" His voice declared to my hospital room echoing off the walls. He puffed out his chest and with an unwavering smile. He ran his hands through his hair and I felt myself smiling. No not just smiling laughing the echoing of the walls was my voice now. Bill smiled at me chuckling along side me. For a moment I thought of nothing else but how happy I was to have Bill by my side. The silence that fell between us was warm like a candle, peaceful. I leaned towards Bill and kissed him, I'd almost forgotten how it felt. I smiled curling my fingers in his hair as I kissed him deeper. All thoughts and all my worries fled away from me then as if they were too scared to come with Bill so close. My arms were around his neck as he grabbed my hips and pulled me close to him. Every kiss every touch made me just want him more like an addiction, I needed him. I had him in my arms again and something inside me screamed that I would never let him go again. It was more than physical it was my whole being that wanted to be with this man to love him and protect him. 

Then a  voice cut through my moment of madness as reality came slicing through my thoughts. Bill  and I turned to see Mabel standing in the doorway. Bills eyes widened with something I rarely saw, panic. Mabel stared for what felt like ages an my face began to warm like I was under a heat lamp. She smiled at us leaning against the doorframe

"Grunkle Stan and Ford are right behind me, you may want to leave before they get here" Bill looked surprised but silently agreed untangling from me. He kissed my forehead and left through my window a small yellow bird flying starkly against the night sky. 

"I owe you one" I said sheepishly, I can't believe she saw that I cursed myself for not thinking properly.

"No duh" She stuck out her tongue playfully. she looked down at the floor with sudden shock.

"How long has she been there?" Mabel pointed to the floor. Oh crap the nurse. I attempt to get out of bed but my legs are still numb from being bed ridden. Mabel and I hear footsteps and our Grunkles voices from down the hall. We share a thought as Mabel hold the unconscious nurse in her arms.

"Quickly the window" I say in a urgent whisper pointing to where Bill left. Mabel grunted as she dragged the unconscious nurse towards the window little by little pushing her body outside. All this time and she hasn't lost her muscle from those days, although I was still had the weaker arms between the two of us. The nurses feet disappeared over the window sill as Mabel dashed onto the bed red faced. She tried to put on a casual face as she wiped away her efforts with her sleeve. 

"Next time maybe don't make out with your demon prince in a hospital" I felt my face flush from that, I looked to Mabel and just grinned. We shared the same lopsided smile and we waited for our Grunkles. Grunkle Stan and Ford came in about a minute later seeing me and Mabel sitting together.

"What's this a coup? you trying to conspire against us?" Grunkle Stan asked spiritedly, Ford crossed his arms with a frown a small smile tugging at the edges.

"What me? Never" I say leaning back with my hand clutching my chest in a pathetic display of feigned innocence. Mabel snorts covering her hand with her mouth but I'm unable to hold my façade and soon we're clutching each other in hysterics. Grunkle Stan and Ford join in the laughter sitting beside my bed. If I could have taken this time and frozen it just to preserve this brief levity I would. Eventually the laughter died down into hushed conversations interlaced with short chuckles. Neither of my Grunkles noticed when a disheveled nurse got up and walked away from the window. Mabel and I exchanged a small knowing look and a promise that came with it.  

****

Eventually over the next few weeks I began to recover, Grunkle Stan and Ford were beginning their preparations for their next sea voyage. Mabel came to visit whenever she could when she wasn't helping out around town. Bill only came as a bird as I'd made it clear how I felt about him possessing people. It was hard to fill my days and the physical therapy was taxing on my body as well as my mind, but Mabel brought me something I never expected. My own journal, bound in blue leather with a gold pinetree engraved on the front. At first I wasn't sure what to write but then as I thought about my life my pen was drawn to the pages. I wrote about me and my family's adventures in Gravity Falls about Bill and Wierdmagaddeon and about me and Bill. It was probably very stupid to make a story about me and Bill with my Grunkles still here but I was determined to keep it safe this time.

 I will not let them come between us again
