I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing next to Kara's bed. Sitting up I picked it up. "Hello ?" I asked groggily. "She's awake." That was all I needed. I hung up, grabbed my coat and ran out of the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sherlock was waiting for me inside the hospital, coffee in hand. I took it from him gratefully, taking sips as he spoke. "She woke up about an hour ago. The doctors want to keep her under observation for a week or so but Sierra, she's going to be fine." I smile broke out across my face, the first proper one in days and I threw my arms around Sherlock. He patted my head before pulling away. "Let's Go." He said, walking forwards.

I watched through the window as Irene chatted animatedly with John and Sara about something or the other. Her hair was free from its usual bun and her signature crimson lipstick was absent from her lips. I turned as John and Sara opened the door. Sherlock made an excuse to dash after them and I walked through the door. She sat facing away from the door, staring at the wall. My eyes darted around the room nervously. I'd been waiting for this moment for days but now that she was alive, actually properly alive, I had no idea what to say. " You could start with Thank you ?" Offered Irene who'd turned around at some point and was now staring at me, a sultry smile on her face. "Oh. Right. Thank you for, you know, saving my life and stuff."
"You're welcome." She replied and we lapsed into an awkward silence again. "So how are you feeling." I asked. She rolled her eyes, falling back onto the bed as she sighed. "Good, as I've told the countless others." I smiled as she looked at me. "How about you ? You only have your mother now."
"Actually my mother died when I was seven." I interrupted. She let out a simple "Oh." Before turning to face me. "Sierra, about before, what i said, I am so sorry." I stared at her. "What ?" I pinched the bridge of my nose "Sorry, do you actually think I still care about that ?!" The look of sincerity on her face answered my question. "I think you made up for that by, you know, Saving my life ?" She exhaled, smiling, before patting the seat next to her with a sultry smile. "So tell me, what'd I miss ?"
