{The Planning}

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled and nodded. "I know." She turned her head to look at the door. Ginny had left in a hurry, without saying anything and it seemed like she was upset. She had never seen Ginny truely sad, although she knew everyone did sometime in their life.

"But we have until then." She said softly.

[Aiden]

Aiden turned to have a swift glance at the door Niles and Ginny had escaped through.  He shrugged, and turned towards Stacey.

"That is true."  He agreed quietly.  However, he didn't want to spend the entire time trying to make up for things.  "How are you feeling?"

[potter_fan122]

"I`m fine." Stacey assured, looking down at her arm. She scratched at the bandage at her elbow. "I just wish I could get this thing off." She began picking at the edges of it, but her ears were trained on the hall.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at Stacey trying to unwrap the bandage from her wrist with her good hand.  He took her hand and looked at Stacey.  He shook his head again slowly.

"Stacey...your never going to heal if you mess with your wrist."  He told her quietly.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey wrinkled her nose the way she always used to. "So?" She asked softly, holding back a smile. She moved her fingers around she that she was holding his hand. "It`ll heal just fine, especially with What`s-Her-Face giving me medicine." She jerked her head in the direction of the nurse.

[Aiden]

Aiden couldn't help but smile at the way she reffered to the nurse.  "She is only trying to help."  He told Stacey, patting her hurt hand very softly.  His eyes were beginning to turn to their normal shade now.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey caressed the side of his face. "Oh, I know. But I hate having help like this." She looked down at her arm with a not-so-happy expression. "I`m used to running around, back and forth all day. Not sitting down. And Ginny will probably make sure that I don`t get out of this bed for a week!"

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at her with an unhappy expression.  "Not only Ginny.  I'm going to make sure that you're all better before you leave this bed."  He said, directing his hand toward her wrist.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey moaned in protest and fell back onto her pillow. He hair fell around her face, but like she cared. "I`m going to go crazy if I do get out any time soon!" She exclaimed.

[Aiden]

Aiden bit his lip, and scooted over so he was sitting beside her.  He ran his hand through Stacey's hair.  "I'm sorry.  I don't know what else to do."  He said helplessly.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey sighed and took his hand. "You don`t have to do anything, Aiden. I already love you so much, nothing can change that. I`ll be fine. I can assure you that I`ve had worse." The time when she had been taken by Neo immediatly came to mind. Good thing she always carried a knife.

[Aiden]

Aiden frowned and looked into her eyes.  That fact that she had worse didn't comfort him.  He patted her uninjured hand softly.

[potter_fan122]

With her injured hand, she took Aiden`s hand firmly. "Aiden, I promise you that I`m not as fragile as you think. I`ve killed people before. I`ve almost been killed myself." Her eyes were perfectly serious and her voice was too, although she lowered it so that only /aiden could hear it.

"I`m more than glad that you care about me, but please don`t worry. There is a difference. Please, don`t worry. I`ll recover quickly, and then it will be like I`ve never been hurt before."

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at Stacey and tried to compose his facial expression.  "Alright.."  He agreed,  "I won't worry." He held her hand softly.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey sat up and hugged Aiden tightly. "I love you. I hope you know that, because I love you so much, I don`t know what I would do without you." She whispered.
