David just shook his head as he was looking at her, there was some swelling but it looked like she was going to be okay.  She was always so reckless, and knew that he should be grateful that she was able to take the guy down, but he hated that she put herself in danger.  

"You're not always going to be so lucky."

He said as he gave her something for the pain, being careful with what it was, then went to finish the work.  It was a few hours when he returned to check on her, as she was looking around freaked out, as she was trying to pull the stuff off of her, as he went in to calm her down. 

"Just calm down, you had a nasty hit to the head."

He said trying to get her to relax, she stopped moving a bit, and looked around then back at him.

"I'm in a hospital? "

He nodded looking at her a bit confused. 

"Yes, Hope you are.  I called your sister to come in and help you out."

He said as she looked still very lost and confused.

"My sister?  I know you?"

She asked looking confused as she didn't remember anything at the moment.. He frowned as he looked her over checking her eyes, as he realized she had lost her memory, and didn't even know who she was.. 

"Yes I know you, you're name is Hope Sweet.  You're a cop.  We've feen freidnemies for ages."

He said cracking a bit of a joke, but she just looked freaked out, as he rubbed her arms to calm her down.  Letting her know it was going to be okay. 

"The sister I called was Destiny, she is also the chief of police... She told me to keep an eye on you until she can get off of work.  So I'm going to take you home with me.  You really can't be left alone."

He said as she looked unsure, but he was able to coax her, as he helped her get dressed, and then carried her to her car.  It was strange to see her like this,  So use to her attitude and cockyness, but there was none of that.

Hope felt very lost and confused as she was looking out the window as she was being taken to the doctors place.  From what had been explained to her, she knew him well, and their siblings were all very close so it was as good as going with family.  

||Hope Sweet||- Thanks. 

She said as he helped her inside.  He lead her to the couch as he then ran off getting her some water, putting the pain meds down on the counter next to her.  Asking her if she was hungry as she shook her head. 

||Hope Sweet||- No thanks.

She said as she was just leaning back a bit.  David had tried to get in touch with Lucas, finding out that they had split up months ago.  Lucas had left the area not wanting to deal with Hope's career anymore, as he didn't seem to even care about the state she was in, saying she deserved it... David would have a few choice words, if he hadn't hung up.  He looked at her as he sighed a bit.. .He didn't even know... She didn't tell anyone about what she had been going through, but when him and Charity split up, she had been there to be his emotional punching bag, and even got him drunk so he could get all the anger and depression out.

{David Granger}- Why do you always have to be so difficult... 

He blurted out at her rather angry for her always keeping herself closed off.  Hope looked at him, rather confused, scared, and upset as she had tears. 

||Hope Sweet||- I'm sorry.

She said not knowing what else to say, as she was very lost and not her herself.  David cussed at himself as he moved wrapping his arms around her, hugging her, feeling bad that he upset her.

{David Granger}- I'm sorry, its not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong.  Don't cry.

He said feeling bad that he had made her cry, shocked to see her int his state as it was very much not normal and he didn't really know what to do.. 

He rubbed her back a bit, as he was feeling bad.  He let her calm herself down before he moved a bit to look at her better.  He smiled warmly watching her as she did look kind of cute this way, when she was back to normal, he would for sure have to give her a hard time.  Right now though, he would enjoy this softer side of her.  He kissed her forehead as he smiled warmly.

"You have nothing to be sorry for.  I'm just glad that you are alright.  You saved a lot of lives today.  It could of gotten really bad if you didn't help, and I know you get yelled at more than being told thank you.  So thank you."

He said looking at her, as she sniffled a bit, still not sure what to say as he handed her the water and gave her one of the pills. He then helped her upstairs, so she could rest.

"Just rest and focus on yourself.  Your sister should be here in a few hours, and then we'll work on a plan for you."

He tucked her into bed, and left a side light on for her, before he left to let her rest, as he was thinking about what should be done.  She for sure couldn't be left alone, and knew that she needed a lot of care right now...   After Destiny showed up they talked a bit, as she went and checked on her sister, seeing the state she was in, as she was rather shocked herself.  David stood in the door way as Destiny was talking to Hope.. .It was hard for both , as Destiny was trying to get her to remember her, remember anything, but it just wasn't working.  David walked in. 

"It doesn't seem like it will be long term, but it will be a few days at least.

He said as he was wanting to calm things down.  Destiny was thinking about the best course to take as David offered a bit of help.

" I have a lot of PTO I need to start taking before I lose it.  I'll take care of her.  It's probably best for a doctor be around her anyways, just in case she starts to have siesures or anything... It's not very common, but could still happen, so it's better that she's here where she can be watched.

He said as he was thinking about it.. Destiny frowned a bit, but nodded her head as she trusted David to care for all her siblings.  

"Alright, I'll put her on leave at the station.  She also has a lot of time built up, so she will be fine for awhile."

Not like the money was an issue, as she knew Hope could never return to work and still be very well off, she had a lot of money saved up.. 

"Thank you, David for taking care of her.  I know it can't be easy for you... "

She said knowing that they weren't the closest and the two often fought with each other, but he knew that Hope was in a vulunerable state and it meant a lot he was willing to look after her.  David smiled a ibt.

"I really don't mind... She isn't as scary and mean as she thinks she is... Besides I owe her."

He said thinking about to the times she not only saved him, but helped him, so it was the least he could do.

She just sat there as she listened to the two of them talking about her, which felt a bit strange.  Destiny hung around for awhile, but then had to leave.  Hope looked up as David returned after a few and sat down on the bed next to her.

||Hope Sweet||- I'm sorry that you are stuck looking after me.  It seems like I'm not one of your favorite people to be around.

She said as she kind of gathered that from what Destiny had to say, as she was feeling rather bad about it.  David shook his head though as he looked at her.  Telling her that isn't the case.

{David Granger}- That isn't true.  We just have a unique relationship.

He said laughing a bit trying to make her feel better.  She looked at him a bit as she was thinking about it, then smiled some as she was glad he didn't feel like she would be a burden to him. 

It was about a week later, and still Hope was the same with out her memory.  She sighed as she was sitting on the couch looking at David. 

||Hope Sweet||- It's been over a week, why can't I remember anything yet?  I thought I would have my memories back by now.

She said sadly as David looked at her sitting down next to her, as he held her hand a bit, giving it a pat. 

{David Granger}-  You had some major head trauma, you need to give yourself time.  It will happen when you're ready.  

He said not wanting her to stress it or force it... In truth he liked that she was like this, this was a side of her that no one ever got to see, and he liked that she was depending on him, needing him and wanting him around.  

He put his arm around her and pulled her close to him as he did enjoy that she was letting him be close to her, she wasn't fighting or pushing away and accepting his help.  Which was only because she didn't remember that she didn't like it.  He smiled a bit as he was watching her.

"It will be alright, you will be back to your mean and violent self in no time.  So until then , I think I'll enjoy this you for a bit."

He said not wanting her to feel bad, or to think that she was trouble, he had enjoyed showing her things, enjoyed cooking for her, enjoyed being needed.  He also liked her spirit and personality when she was healthy, but didn't mean he wasn't going to enjoy this as well.  He put his hand under her chin having her look at him.

"I like that you need me. "

He leaned in and kissed her softly as she was surprised when he kissed her, but didn't pull away, letting the kiss happen, as she even started to kiss him back..

Title: Here

Hope looked at him after a moment, shocked that he had kissed her, as she wasn't sure what to do right away, but saw him looking at her.... Almost thinking he did something wrong he started to move, but she pulled him back as she kissed him again.  She didn't know what it was, but it felt like the right thing to do, she knew she felt something for him, and at the moment she wasn't going to question it.

||Hope Sweet||- I feel like I've wanted to do that for awhile.

She said honestly as she couldn't explain it, but it felt like she had wanted to be like this with him.  He smiled as he pulled her against him, kissing her again, as he moved her to his lap.

{David Granger}- I knew deep down you always like me.

He teased as he moved his hands to her hips.  She gave him a bit of a look, as she smiled some.

||Hope Sweet||- Oh, is that so?

She asked as he nodded, his hands massaging her hips as he was thinking about it.  He pulled her down to him as he was kissing her again, she kissed him back as she held on to his shirt a bit.  

They continued to make out a bit as he was enjoying this time with her.  They didn't get to far though before there was a knock on the door... David looked over as he sighed as Hope moved a bit, as she gave him room to get up.

"Now who could that be... "

He said a bit annoyed as he was expecting anyone, but it could be a sister of Hopes or something so he didn't want to be rude.  He walked over opening the door as he looked shocked when he saw it was Lucas.  He walked past David as he was looking around a bit.

"Where is she? "

Lucas asked as he was looking for Hope hearing more about what was going on as David walked in.

"Why are you here?"

He said as he didn't know what to think, but wasn't sure he wanted him here, as he went into the living room where Hope was now standing.  Lucas saw her and ran to her, taking her hand, as Hope jumped a bit startled and moved back as she had no memory of who he was.. David came in and pulled him back from her.

"Stop it, you're scaring her."

He said as Lucas looked shocked to see her like this, but she did look scared and confused as Lucas was trying to tell them that they had a deep connection, and loved each other... Hope looked from him to David very confused... 

"You guys broke up awhile ago, and you ran off awhile ago... "

He pointed out as Lucas glared and then tried to move towards Hope again but she just jerked back a bit, not liking this.. David pulled him back again.

"Stop it, or I'll make you leave, you're making her uncomfortable."

He warned once more, not liking how worked up Hope was looking as he didn't want to overly stress her out or anything..

Title: Here
OOC: Here

Hope was trying to keep calm but she didn't like that he was trying to touch her and hold her hand.  She didn't remember him at all and hadn't seen him at all sense she started to heal up, so it wasn't a good spot to be in... David kept telling him to stay back.

||Hope Sweet||- I'm sorry, but I just don't remember you.

She said honestly as she was still trying to keep a distance, as Lucas moved forward again, this time David grabbed him and pulled him back.

{David Granger}- I told you, give her space.

He said as Lucas looked at him upset.

{Lucas Granger}- You should of been telling her about me... Everything we had, can still have.

He said annoyed as he was now turning his anger on his brother as Hope looked rather nervous.

{David Granger}- Tell her what about you, that you didn't like her life choices so dumped her... Left in the middle of the night while she was at work, just leaving a note?  Is that what you wanted me to tell her?

He said as Lucas pushed her a bit. 

{Lucas Granger}- You bastard, I don't even know why you are taking care of her... Out of everyone you can't even stand her...

Hope looked between the two of them as she held her head a bit... Groaning out as she was starting to get a headache.

||Hope Sweet||- Just stop it... Both of you.. 

She said as she was staggering a bit.  David looked up, seeing her start to get tipsy, he was right there catching her as she collasped.  He frowned looking at her... Touching her face.

{David Granger}- Hope!  You're okay... 

He said touching her face as he was trying to wake her up... He lifted her up and carried her over to the couch as he was looking her over... Sighing with relief seeing that she had just passed out. 

{Lucas Granger}- You're in love with her...

Lucas accused seeing how he was at the moment with Hope, as he couldn't believe what he was seeing for a moment, but saw how David was looking at her. 

{David Granger}- You can show yourself out, Lucas. 

He said simply.. Lucas just laughed a bit shaking his head.

{Lucas Granger}- Do you think it'll be like this once she remembers who she is?  Remembers who we all are?  You know she'll always choose me, just like every other time. 

He said laughing a bit, but did start to leave, letting him take care of Hope for now, not stressing it, feeling that she would always choose him over anyone else...  

He stood there looking at her for a moment, thinking about what had happened, what Lucas had said, as part of him was wondering if he was right.   She knew that they had the history... He sighed as he leaned down picking her up, and carrying her upstairs.  

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that."

He leaned down as he brushed her hair back and kissed her forehead.  Leaving for a bit so she could rest.  It was a couple hours later when he returned to check on her.  She was sitting up now, as she was rubbing her neck and stretching.

"How are you feeling?"

He asked walking in, as she saw the look she gave him... She looked rather angry... 

"Are you okay?"

He asked walking over to the bed to look her over, he brought his hand up to her head to check, but she grabbed his wrist as he looked at her.

"You have your memory back, don't you?"

He could tell as he could see the change in her features... She still looked pissed, but it wasn't at him.

"Who the hell does he think he is?"

David looked at her confused for a moment, then realizing she had heard all that Lucas had said, and she was annoyed.  David wasn't sure what to say for the moment as he figured she'd probably go back to not wanting him near her, so he started to move, but she didn't let go of him, as she looked at him. 

"What, you were all into me before your brother got here... Did you change your mind already?"

She smirked a bit as David looked at her surprised , but shook his head as she smiled saying good as she pulled him down on the bed with her as she kissed him..

Title: Here
OOC: Here

Hope kissed him deeply as she was glad that he didn't change his mind.  She remembered everything, even how he was with her when she had been sick, and had taken care of her.  He didn't have to, but he had, and he had treated her like someone who mattered, which meant the world to her.  She may not always be the best as showing her emotions, but she was doing her best.  After a few moments of making out, she looked at him breathing heavy.

||Hope Sweet||- Thank you, David.  Thank you for caring for me, being there for me, and just everything.  

She said as she smiled a bit looking at him as she wasn't really good at showing the softer and weaker side, but she had done so all this time with him, and was still showing that side as he smiled touching the side of her face and then kissing her again.

||Hope Sweet||- He's wrong you know. 

She said after a moment.  

||Hope Sweet||- I have no desire to ever go back to him, or to take him back.  I'm more than happy to leave my past in the past, and just focus on the right now.

She said as she smiled warmly looking at him, wanting David to know that Lucas was her past and wouldn't be in her future.   David smiled as he nodded believing her, and kissing her as they were making out again.  He had to force himself to stop though, knowing that she was still healing. 

{David Granger}- As badly as I want to do this, you're really not in the condition to do so.  You need to take it easy for at least another week, if not longer.

He said as he kissed her softly as Hope nodded as she was thinking about it, and would listen to him. 

{David Granger}- I hope that you'll still continue to stay here, I have enjoyed you around, and like taken care of you.  

He spoke honestly as she was looking at him thinking about it as she then nodded her head as she felt it was probably for the best, as it had been a pretty nasty head injury and she didn't want to risk doing anything to make it worse...
