Gina washes Eric's arms, feet, and chest as he sits in his shower seat radiating happiness and Claire focuses on his hair and back, "You are seriously loving this aren't you, not even a little bit of shame?"

Eric looks at Gina slightly somber, "Yeah, the shame makes it a bit sweeter though. Julia will be jealous if she finds out two beautiful nurses gave me a bath, but I love being in trouble with Julia. It makes me feel valued and loved, she is always present in every minute with me and has never treated me like I am dying. I hope none of that changes when she wakes up."

"Eric, Love, that isn't gonna change. You still beloong to Julia just like befuur."

Eric grimaces, "Part of me is wondering if she will treat me differently because I got hurt saving her. Like maybe she won't be able to be honest the same way or will hold back and not say something thinking she will hurt my feelings. A part of me would be ecstatic if she found out about this and gave me the third degree."

Gina and Claire look at eachother and giggle. Neither woman knows exactly what to say to reassure Eric. "Eric, have you thought about what you are going to say to her when she wakes up?"

"Not really. I will probably just stare at her awe struck like normal and wait for her to say something."

Gina looks slightly hurt as she washes Eric's outer thigh, "My boyfriend hasn't looked at me that way for a few years now. I miss being newly in love."

Claire and Julia get Eric situated in bed when his mother comes in. "Hey, Bub, just wanted to let you know this evening the doctors are taking Julia off her medicine and we are all going to take shifts and talk to her until she wakes up. Laura and Hank want you to take the first shift."
