"I never really cared until I met you"

Disclaimer: Division belongs to DJL and Lifetime. I don't own the show nor the characters. (If I did things would look different now. Oh well, that's another story ... ) "Alone" by Heart doesn't belong to me either. *sighs*

This takes place after CD being shot ... well, actually I was planning on writing two versions of this fanfic BUT 1.) I would get you all mad at me, 2.) I really wouldn't support my second version and 3.) I really can't write such stupid stuff of CD dying!!! So, CD/Nate of course!!! :-)

Note: This fanfic is dedicated to my beloved twinny who is more than anyone else sad about the current events on the show. I just wanted to show her (and you as well) that there are several opportunities how they could proceed without letting CD die!!!

Feedback is more than welcome since I don't know if you like this.

Here we go ......

************************
Nate was sitting in the restaurant waiting for CD. She was already 30 minutes late and he was afraid she'd maybe changed her mind. But she promised she wouldn't .... She would at least have called him.

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Nervously Nate took out his cellphone. A little voice in his mind told him that something was wrong. When he'd dialed her number he just heard a friendly female voice telling him: "The person you're calling is temporarily not available at present, please try again later."

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone

Frustrated he ended the call and dialed the Division HQ. He was surprised when the Captain herself answered the phone. It sounded like she was in a hurry.

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

"McCafferty"
"Yeah, hi Cap. This is Nate."
Kate interrupted him. "Nate, glad you called. I was about to call you." She took a gasp. "I'm sorry to tell you but CD is in surgery. She got shot by Liz and has lost a lot of blood."

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone

Alone, alone

Nate was more than shocked. His whole face went pale and the other guests in the restaurant were already wondering if he was ok. He'd known that something was wrong.
"I'll see you ... at ... at the hospital", was all he could say and rushed out of the restaurant within seconds.

On his way to the hospital his mind was searching for a possibility how she got shot. But he didn't know the circumstances and left it all to speculations about it. And he blamed himself for not being able to protect her. That was his job, watching her six, as a partner ... and a lover now ... he hoped.

When he arrived at the hospital Kate was already there. Jinny, Magda and Raina weren't reachable.
"Where is she? What happened? How is she doing?"
Kate explained it all to him. "Well, they got the bullet out of her but she has lost a lot of blood. So she's in coma now. I'm really sorry Nate." She paused. "There's another thing I should inform you about. They don't have a fitting blood fusion for her blood type." Kate put her hand on his shoulder. "This is all very hard. I know. The Docs say that we could see her soon."
Nate was about to collapse when his knees went weak. This could just be a horrible nightmare. This couldn't be true. They were just exploring their new found love and it seems to be over again. He had to fight back tears though he felt the urge to cry. But he couldn't just cry in front of his Captain though the Docs said that it wasn't sure she would wake up again.
Kate felt his weakness and took hold of him. "Sshh, Nate. It's okay. I know you've been partners and that you care much about each other ..."
"Oh, please, Captain .... honestly, you don't know anything about CD and me ..." He was already sorry about what had just left his mouth.
But Kate wasn't mad at him. She knew how he felt right now and he had all right to react like this.
"Test me!" Nate suddenly said right out of the blue.
"Huh?"
"Yeah, what if my blood type fits with CDs? I could help her with that and I wouldn't feel like a complete jerk doing nothing!"
"I don't know Nate ..." Kate wasn't sure about this. How huge would be the disappointment when he got the result that he couldn't help her? "And you're not a jerk, and you know that!"
"But I will do it!" Nate got up and ran over to a passing nurse. He explained everything to her and she agreed. So they got him settled in a room to take his blood.
Afterwards he left. They had to run some tests to see if his blood type was fitting.
When he was back at the waiting area with Kate, she told him that the nurses got CD settled in a room and that they could go now and visit her.
Nate slowly walked over to the door and stopped for a second in front of it. Just when he was about to enter a nurse showed up.
"Mr. Basso? I have the results of the blood test we ran ..."

Love ya tooooooooooooo! :loveya: *huuuuuuuuuuugs* :bighug:

This is GREAT!!!:) Of course, we need more asap!!!:D

MOOORE!!!! :wave:

Oh yeah, sounds great, we definitely want more!

Wendi

New fic !:clap: :woohoo: this is great.Post more!

Hey everyone!

Wow, thanks for the great feedback. I've written some more. Not much though but some lines. I'm pretty stressed at the moment cause I have to find an apartment in a really short time and move in there. But everything seems to be in my way ... Well, don't wanna bore you with that.

Here we go
***********
Nate turned around. "And?"
"Well, I'm glad to tell you that you two have the same blood type. We can use your blood for her!" The nurse smiled. "Would you just please sign this statement?"
A small smile also escaped Nates lips. He signed the permission for the doctors that they can use his blood.
Somehow happy he entered CDs room then. But when he saw her, his mood was sinking again. There was so much machinery around his CD and she looked so vulnerable. Her face was pale and there was a big bandage covering her wound.
Nate slowly sat down next to her bed and his hand was carefully searching for hers. He intertwined their fingers and held her hand tight. Then he softly lifted it to his mouth and kissed it.
"Hey sweety." He whispered. "You scared the hell out of me, you know that? I'm glad you're going to be okay soon though you're still in coma. Why did you go to the apartment all on your own? I'm your partner. I should have protected you. Not just as a partner, but as a lover. Oh CD, if you just knew what you mean to me ...." He sighed. Though someone has told him once that persons in coma can hear what's going on in their surrounding and speaking with them, would rise their chances to wake up again. "CD, please wake up again. I didn't know what to do without you. I couldn't live anymore. I need you ... more than anything else in the world. Please, come on ... open those baby blue eyes again."
He held her hand with both of his hands now and kissed it again. A small tear escaped his eye but he didn't give a damn thought about it. A life without CD seemed senseless to him and he didn't even know high the chances were for CD to wake up. But somehow he knew, she would get through.
Slowly he laid his head besides her body, never letting go of her hand. Soon he was sound asleep.
When Kate entered CDs room she found Nate sleeping there and she decided not to wake him. They looked so cute. She just wished CD would pull through this because Nate would never be the same again when CD died. Kate knew that. She wouldn't just lose one inspector but two because she knew how much the two inspectors cared for each other. So Kate just begged CD would make it, but CD was a fighter and now that Nates blood type fitted CDs ....

Ya got that right!!!!! This is REALLY good!!!!

I want a post and I want a post NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Hiya everyone!

I'm back from Flensburg and I've found a pretty nice apartment. I have two roomates. A man, 25, and a woman, 23. I have my own room there. We're just sharing bathroom, kitchen and living room. The street I'll be living on looks like a street from San Fransisco. ;-) Can't wait to move in there! Two weeks to go and in about three weeks I'll start studying at the university!!!!

Okay, although I'm pretty worn out and tired (cause Flensburg is not what I would considere close), I forced myself to write some more for you since I've promised to. But I have to say that I'm not really satisfied with it. Don't know, it's because of me being tired. So if you don't like this part, just tell me. K?

Gotta see my bed now .... *uahhhh*

So here we go

*************
In the next morning CD softly opened one eye and then the other. At first she was disorientated and tried to remember what happened. Slowly the memories came back in her mind and she instantly touched her abandon where she'd been shot. It hurt a little but as far as she could say she was still alive. She turned her head and realized another head laying next to her hand on the bed. It was Nate. CD had to smile. He was so cute when he was sleeping.
She moved a little just to find a better position and tried not to wake Nate. But in vain. By the first move he was awake.
"CD?" He asked sleepily and when he saw her being awake, he was like jumping to the sky. "Oh my God, you're awake!"
"Yes, I am." CD answered smiling.
"But ... but the Docs said the chances are not very high ... how are you?" Nate softly took her hand and squeezed it.
"Well, you know how the Docs are ..." she winked. "And I'm feeling pretty fine. Just ..."
Nate was worried all over again. "Just ... what?"
"I'm starving since I missed out dinner last night with you!"
"Oh CD!" Nate was relieved and leaned over to kiss her. After breaking the kiss he looked deep in her eyes. "Promise me you'll never to that again, okay? You scared the hell outta me!"
"I won't" she whispered and kissed him again, more passionated than the last one.
Nate caressed her cheeks. "Well, I guess, we gotta tell the Doc that you're awake now ..."
She smiled. "Yeah and tell them that I want to go home today! I'm feeling perfectly healthy!"
"Nahah, you won't go home today and you won't the whole next two weeks!" The Doc said who'd just entered. "Good morning, Ma'am. Glad you woke up. How are you doing?"

Two weeks later
Nate was all happy. He was about to take CD home and the Cap had agreed that he could take several days off to be with CD and help her in her household.
He knocked on her door of her hospital room.
"Come in!" CD said from inside.
Nate entered and found her completely ready to go. "Whoa, that's what I call being prepared!" He grinned. The last two weeks had been pretty exhausting for the hospital staff since CD always was like "I wanna go home NOW!" She'd been like a little child who wanted to be at home asap.
He grinned to that. And she'd always been happy when someone from the Division staff had been there visiting her 'cause she found hospitals pretty boring.
CD went over to Nate and kissed him. "Glad you're hear. Couldn't stand being here any longer!" She was so happy that she was going to live with him for the next weeks. He had been so caring during her stay in hospital. She loved him but she hasn't told him yet.
"You ready to go?" Nate asked and was about to pick up her luggage when he heard some gun shooting and people screaming outside. "What the hell ... ?" was all he could say before the first bullets hit the door.
*************

ahhhhh uaaaaahhhh aaaaah!!!!

MOREEEEEEE!

OOOOHHHHH!!!!! You can't do that!!!! Please post more soon! Do you hear me..SOON!! J/K. But please post soon!

Aw, man ya leave us hangin!!!!! Post more soon!!!

:eek: Ya gots to post more before I go insane. Oops!.. too late. :lol:

Hiya!

Thanks for the feedback but I haven't written much in the meantime. I was too busy with moving and now I have to save all my files since I have to format my whole HDD. :( So I won't be able to write much for about a week. But I try to use a computer of a friend, okay???

Here we go (a little but nice, I hope):
*********
He instantly pulled CD down to the ground and out of the line of the bullets.
"Oh my God, Nate! What's going on there? We have to go out and help the others and ... "
He interrupted her. "You won't go anywhere. Let me check it." Kissing her on her forehead he added: "Stay here and hide yourself in a cupboard. You don't have a weapon. I'll be right back."
CD nodded and crawled into the cupboard taking her luggage with her. Something told her to do so that no one thinks of someone living in this room.
Nate pulled his weapon out and cautiously left the room to see what's going on. First he didn't see anyone but then suddenly someone opened fire on him. He ducked behind a wheelchair and took out his cellphone to call the police.
"Don't you dare ..." He heard a male voice behind him and felt a weapon held against his temple.
The man behind him wore a mask so did the others. He searched Nates pocket and found his SFPD identification. "See who we got here ..." He burst into an evil laughter then he pulled Nate up hard. "Is there any other cop in this ward?"
Nate thought of CD in the cupboard. "No, I'm all alone here."
"Somehow I don't believe you. Search the rooms and get all people gathered in one room!" The man ordered his fellows.
Nate realized an Spanish accent and just begged they wouldn't find CD.
