Chapter 17

(A week went by.)

“I am going to the hospital to check on Ed.” Said Nancy, as she gets ready. “Ok, drive safe and call us if there is any news.” Said Cindy Nancy nods her head yes and leaves the house. “I am sure he will be better he is getting stronger every day after the surgery.” Said Henry as he watches Nancy leaves.

(At the Hospital.)

“I am glad you are here. Today we are going wake up Ed. He might not wake up today will give him the stuff that will help him.” Said Dr. Boyd. Nancy smiles to hear the news. “I am allowed to watch?” Nancy asks. Dr. Boyd answers, “Yes, it will help him to hear a familiar voice.” They both walk to Ed’s room.

They enter Ed’s room. Nancy goes to the chair and hold Ed’s hand. Nancy watches Dr. Boyd with the needle, he puts it in Ed’s IV. “How fast does it work?” asks Nancy. Dr. Boyd answers, “It will probably take awhile. Talk to him. It probably will work fast if he hears your voice.”

Nancy starts to talk to Ed about Jimmy and Mack, their family. Nancy notices a light squeeze from Ed’s hand. “Ed, if you can hear me try to squeeze a bit harder.” Nancy said. Dr. Boyd notices that too and he watches. Ed squeezes Nancy’s hand again. Nancy looks at Dr. Boyd. Ed’s starts to gag on the tube, Dr. Boyd remove the tube and Ed breathes on his own.

“Ed, if you can hear me try to open your eyes.” Says Dr. Boyd. He watches Ed to see if he will open eyes. There was a small movement. “It might take a awhile before he does totally wake up. I will put on a oxygen mask to help his breathing.” Explains Dr. Boyd. Nancy nods her head yes.
Dr. Boyd puts on the mask. “You can stay here to keep him company, Try once in awhile to see if he can open his eyes.” Said Dr. Boyd. “OK, I can do that.” Replies Nancy. Dr. Pertwee leaves the room. Nancy watches Ed for a while, she notices some movement like him dreaming. “Ed, try to open your eyes.” Nancy asks as she watches Ed’s face. She notices Ed is trying to open his eyes.
Nancy brushes some hair off Ed’s forehead and talks to him about things that is new around town. Nancy notices Ed is waking up, he looks around confused. “Try not to talk Ed.” Said Nancy as she calls Dr. Boyd.

Dr. Boyd comes into the room he checks Ed out. “How are you feeling?” Dr. Boyd asks. Ed answers weakly “Thirsty.” Dr. Boyd gets him a glass of water. He helps Ed to drink the water. “Thanks, how did it go?” Ed asks a bit tired. Dr. Boyd explains. “It went smoothly with no problems. You need some sleep you will still feel the effects from the drugs.” said Dr. Boyd. Ed goes to sleep. Dr. Boyd and Nancy leaves the room.“How long does he has to stay in the hospital?” asks Nancy. Dr. Boyd replies, “Until he is able to get his strength back.”

(Two weeks has past.)

“Ready to come home?” Nancy asks Ed. Ed smiles and replies, “Yes I am. I been waiting for this day for awhile now.” Nancy smiles as she pushes Ed to the door. “The doctor said that virus that you had. It might come back, he has notice I am a vampire that being a vampire that virus wont come back at all.” Said Nancy. Ed is shocked to hear this, “I never knew that virus will come back. I would to love to be come one.” Said Ed. Nancy smiles “I know the doctor said I need to wait for another week before I do.” Said Nancy as they reached the car.

(Back Home.)

“Welcome back Ed.” Said Diane as she gives him a big hug. Ed returns the hug to Diane. “Thanks Diane, I got tired of hospital food.” Said Ed. Every one laughed. Mack and Jimmy comes towards Ed, then he picks them up and gives them big hugs and kisses. “Dad had missed you two.” Ed said to Jimmy and Mack. Both boy’s smiles and laughs. Ed puts them down. “Are you hungry Ed?” asks Cindy. Ed nods his head yes. Cindy smiles and leaves the room. They went into the dinning room. “Brandon or Diane can you look after the boys for awhile. I want to spend time with Ed.” Asks Nancy. “It is very nice day out we will take them for a walk. The fresh air will put them to sleep.” Said Brandon. “Thanks Brandon.” Said Nancy.

(After lunch.)

Nancy gets both boys ready “I want you to be good for Uncle Brandon and Aunt Diane.” Nancy says to Mack and Jimmy. Brandon and Diane leave with the boys. Nancy watches them go. “What is the big plan Nancy?” asks Ed. Nancy turns towards Ed, “ Come to the living room and I will tell you about it.” Said Nancy. They both went to the living room.

“While you are in the hospital. Vampire Spa burn to the ground.” Nancy said. Ed is shocked to hear this and asks, “Did some one set fire to it?” Nancy nods her head yes and replies, “The police has found the culprit and was charged with arson. Cadee and I are helping with the design of the new one.” Ed smiles at the news. “ I am sure it will be a better one than before.” Said Ed. Nancy nods her head yes. “Now big boy, I want some fun with you.” Said Nancy as she pulls Ed’s arms towards the stairs.

(Later.)

Nancy looks outside her window and notices Brandon and Diane are home. “It looks like Brandon and Diane are home from the walk.” Said Nancy. Ed comes and looks as well. “Yup lets great them.” Ed said. Nancy looks at Ed and at her, “We might want to get dressed first.” Nancy said laughing. Ed blushes for a moment. Two minutes later they are both downstairs. “Mack and Jimmy really loved the walk. They both have fallen asleep about a block away.” Said Diane. Nancy smiles as she picks up Jimmy. Ed picks up Mack and both head to their room to put both boys to bed. Then they return.

Suddenly the phone rings, Nancy answers the phone after a few minutes later she hangs up. “That was Dr. Boyd just making sure you are still with us.” Nancy said. Ed smiles “Is there more?” Ed asks Nancy. Nancy nods her head yes and replies, “He said I can bite you any day.”

“Can we do it tomorrow first thing in the morning?” Ed asks Nancy. Nancy nods her head yes. “It is too late for tonight.” Nancy said. Brandon went to check out the forum and sees it has new appoints for Nancy. “Nancy, there are people sign up for becoming a vampire.” Said Brandon. Nancy goes over and checks the forum. “Wow, that is lots appointments. Set two each day about a hour apart.” Said Nancy. Brandon nods his head in agreement and replies to the new people with the times.

(Next morning.)

“Are you ready Ed?” Nancy asks. Ed nods his head yes. “Here is the paper that you need to sign.” Said Nancy as she hands Ed the paper. Ed signs his name and hands it back to Nancy. “Please sit on the couch.” Ed does what been told.” Nancy stands in front of Ed. “Looks into my eyes, your eyes are getting heavy they want to close.” Nancy notices Ed’s eyes start to close.

“You want to relax dream where a place you want to vacation to.” Nancy sees how relax Ed is becoming. She pushes Ed to lay down on the couch.

“Ed, your whole body wants to relax more, you are on a beach with a water fall. Your arms will we light as a feather.” Nancy picks up Ed’s arm to feel how light it is. Nancy pokes Ed in the neck she sees no movement. Nancy and bites Ed’s neck. Nancy watches the transformation. Nancy is please what she sees. “Ed, the vacation is over you, your eye are not as heavy.” Nancy said as she watches Ed comes around. “That sure is relaxing.” Said Ed as he stands up and goes and checks himself in the mirror. Nancy is please with the outcome.
