The static electricity shock brought Gabriella out of her daydream and the images immediately flitted away in a purple cursed haze as if they never existed.
"I am so sorry! I was just reaching for the door and I didn't think anyone was here.
"It's quite all right," Gabriella reassured.
"It's so silly of me not to notice a person standing right next to me as if you just dropped right out of the sky. It's just so... Hi." "Nurse... Stevenson!"
Gabriella smiled with amusement. "Hello, Miss Blanchard. I was daydreaming so I'm just as much to blame." Feeling as if she'd forgotten something important, she gave a quick glance back at the spot she'd been staring through as if she could retrieve what it was that had driven her to such distraction but came up blank. Shrugging it off as nothing, she pulled the door open, gesturing the visitor in. "Here to read to our mystery man?"

"Hello, Miss Blanchard. I was daydreaming so I'm just as much to blame." She seemed to trail off at that, clearly the teacher had interrupted some very important line of thinking. After a slightly awkward pause she tried to move on, "I'm sorry I must have- Oh, thank you," Mary Margaret cut herself off as the nurse opened the door for her to that isolated room with the perfect view. It always made her smile and she so wished the man inside could appreciate it too.
"Here to read to our mystery man?" In a perfect world perhaps... but there wasn't the time now unfortunately. She stepped inside and the woods took her breath away this morning. A slight fog rolled out of the treeline and into the meadow that separated it from the walking paths that passed by just outside the window.
Ms. Blanchard almost forgot that she had been asked a question! "It will have to be later," she confessed, "I wanted to drop off these cards the class made." She sat her bag down on the chair near the bed. "You should have seen their faces as they worked so hard," she smiled as she proceeded to start setting a few up on the table next to the flowers and then added the rest to the board on the wall behind it. "I couldn't disappoint them, they'll be waiting to hear they have been delivered."

Gabriella pulled John Doe's chart from the foot of his bed and began her work on his stats update as she listened.
"That's very sweet of them," Gabriella said, looking up and smiling at the cards propped on the table and pinned to the board.
All the cards, the flowers, the visits... This stranger in a coma had more people who cared about him than she did. 'A rather depressing thought,' she thought wryly, though she had nobody to blame but herself.
"What are you currently reading to him?" she asked with a momentary glance toward Mary Margaret before returning her eyes to the monitors and the clipboard.

After a short exchange with Mary Margaret while she updated John Doe's charts, Gabriella had gone on to complete one round of the hospital. A glance at her watch showed that an hour had quickly passed her by.
She sighed, shaking her head. "So much for a day off," she mumbled under her breath. Gabriella had work to do. She had that blackmail looming over her head, courtesy of Mr. Gold. What the hell had she ever done to him?
Gabriella got out of her scrubs and stepped out of the staff locker room, facing the exit but paused with a look back toward the rooms. Perhaps just one last check before she was on her way.
Pausing at the closed door, she turned her ear toward it and listened for movement in case her patient had fallen asleep. It was quiet which gave her a moments hesitation, but she continued to turn the handle as gently as she could.
Thankfully, the handle didn't make a noise. One of the hinges, however, gave a squeak of protest just as she'd gained enough room to pop her head through. Gabriella grimaces. "Sorry," she said quietly, unaware if she'd woken William or if he'd already been stirring. She stepped into the room, closing the door behind her before moving to his bedside and refilling his glass of water from the pitcher beside it.
Gabriella held out the glass. "How are you feeling?" she asked, awaiting his answer while automatically making clinical observations to add her own assessment.

A sudden squeaking sound from the door's direction made William's head raise up. He hadn't fall asleep exactly, rather had he dozed off for a moment. A quick look at the clock on the wall next to the door told him though, it has been more than only a moment. It was like one hour later than the last time he has checked on it. But then, only a hour. William sighed. He really had no idea how to kill time without being able to get something created or repaired. It has been so long ago he did something else, that he even couldn't remember.
"Sorry," William turned his attention back to the door, giving the young nurse from before a warm smile. "How are you feeling?", she asked, while making clinical observations already.
William shrugged his shoulders, still keeping the smile on his face. "I'm fine. I hope you're not doing overtime to look after the old garrulous man." Just as he wanted to help Gabriella by stretching his arm for another checkup she was going to do, another sudden coughing attack came over him.

Gabriella waved away any notion of her being here a burden in any way. "Oh, it's no problem at all."
Another coughing attack overcame him and Gabriella quickly returned the glass of water to his bedside table in order to help him sit up and lean forward. She kept her hand firmly squeezing his for support.
"Easy now," she said gently. "Breathe through your nose. Slowly, steadily." Once the coughing calmed, Gabriella picked up the glass of water again and held it to him. "Here. Don't gulp. Take small drinks. It'll ease the irritation in your throat to stop you from going directly into another fit of coughs."

"Easy now,""Breathe through your nose. Slowly, steadily."
Eventually his lungs felt freer and the coughing finally calmed. William leaned back into his pillow and at the same time received the glass of water from the nurse.
"Here. Don't gulp. Take small drinks. It'll ease the irritation in your throat to stop you from going directly into another fit of coughs."
William did as he was told and just like she said the sudden unpleasant feeling in his throat vanished. Once he has regained enough breathe, he stated: "Now old, garrulous and dare-dependent. What to want more?" William let out a quite chuckle. Maybe the fire has killed his shelter, but it didn't his sense of humor.

Gabriella resisted laughing but there was the sparkle of amusement in her eyes. "Oh hush now before I have you committed to the nursing home," she teased.
She adjusted his pillows and blankets while going over everything again about taking it easy. She drew out a pen and tore a piece of paper from her clipboard, writing as she spoke. "I'm going to head back out now. I'm actually off on holiday, but if the staff isn't caring for you as they should or if you have any questions or concerns, you just pick up that phone and give me a call." She pointed to the phone with her pen before placing it back on her clipboard. The small piece of paper near the phone now had her name and cell number neatly written on it.
"Rest and relaxation are what I'm subscribing but should you need some fresh air, we have a lovely courtyard you can access just down the hallway through the double doors. Be sure to let a nurse or someone at the desk know if you leave your room." She replaced the clipboard on the hook at the end of the bed and started for the door, pausing once more and faced him. "Take it easy though," she warned again with a shake of her finger. "Your lungs need to recover. No chasing the nurses around or cartwheeling." She looked serious at the last part but the corners of her mouth were twitched up.
"We'll talk again soon," she promised as she exited and closed the door behind her. Gabriella caught herself standing there, smiling fondly at the door. It was odd, this connection she felt to him when she'd never met him before today. There was just something about him, she thought. Maybe he reminded her of her father or something. Something.
Shaking her head at herself, she quickly changed back into her treasure hunting clothes and headed back out to Michael's ship.

A friendly smile was playing around his lips, while William listened to the nurse's counsels, his eyes following the piece of paper she placed near the phone, and back to her.
"Take it easy though,", she eventually said. "Your lungs need to recover. No chasing the nurses around or cartwheeling."
William had to chuckle at her given imagination. "I promise to be a good patient. Now go enjoy your holidays." Another chuckle, followed by a warm smile escaped him. She was a young hard-working woman, probably haven't been on vacation for a very long time, William assumed. But despite the stress she seemed to love what she did, not loosing the healthy sense of humor a lot of people not even have a spark of. When was the last time he went on vacation by the way? He actually didn't remember any vacation at all.
A sudden image popped up into his mind.
Waves of blue water. Palms in the distance. A ship. Him being UPON the ship. The sailor's captain, a woman with long curly hair, turning around to him...
Suddenly the image slipped from his mind again.
"We'll talk again soon,"
For one moment a distant look lay in his eyes, before he fully let off from that preposterous image. Where was that coming from anyway? William quickly waved to the nurse, before she exited through the door and closed it behind.
With a sigh he let his head fell back into the pillow once more. A little bit more of relaxation couldn't hurt, even if already now he felt tired of looking at the white ceiling above. It didn't take long, till he fell asleep again though...

The door to the closet shut as Belinda finished putting away her belongings in the staff room before starting her volunteer shift. It was unusual for the hospital to schedule her for the evenings, however one of the evening regulars had fallen ill and Belinda being the kind soul she was decided that it would be in everyone’s best interest if she came to fill in the evening for that day. Working her first evening shift at the hospital would give her a new perspective on operations and patients schedules which she was rather excited for.
Grinning widely, Belinda headed to the nursing unit station to find her volunteer duties for the evening. Her eyeballs scanned the list of duties, an evening check on a gentleman by the name of William being at the top of her list. ’Wonderful!’ Belinda expressed excitement as she handed the list back over the counter and headed towards William’s room.

After some hours William awakened again, he had another look around the room. His eyes were wandering from ceiling to wall, from wall to door, from door to bedstand and at last back from bedstand to ceiling. If not the fact that he still wasn't aware of the actual damage to his shop, while he was counting hours here, wasn't driving him crazy, then this would do for sure.
William's head turned to the side once again, glimpsing at the note the nurse had left near the phone before she had left for her holidays. Didn't she mention a courtyard to take some fresh air?
William reached out for the glass of water and took one sip to get his throat cleared before he carefully sat up. Well, he already had too much of rest. Maybe a walk to the outside area would distract him from the dark thoughts flying around his head.
"Well, get up, old man.", he said to himself with a slight smile, before he left the bed and headed towards the door.

With a small paper cup of medication in one hand and a glass of water sitting in the other, Belinda stood at the open doorway of the patient's room. Not questioning the opened door, she gave a few rapid knocks before introducing her entrance into the room.
"Hello William, my name is Belinda," She announced before entering the room, walking towards the nightstand beside the hospital bed, "I'm here to give you your evening medication and to check in-" As Belinda placed the two items on the nightstand, she paused as she peered over to the hospital bed that appeared to be empty.
"Well this is curious, indeed," Belinda stated out loud, rather puzzled as the nurses would have let her know if he was out of his room for whatever reason. Leaving his room, she was on the hunt for the missing patient as he couldn't have his medication any later.
"Hmm," Thinking cap on, Belinda stood in the middle of the hallway as she tapped her bottom lip with her index finger. Her eyes suddenly darted down the hall to the door of the courtyard which seemed to be slightly open, letting a bit of a cool draft in.
"There we are," Belinda spoke to herself in a much relieved tone as she headed down to the courtyard.

*** Hospital Courtyard ***
William leaned over the handrail, enjoying the fresh air, as much enjoyable something could be today at all. The way from the patient's room up to the courtyard had made him realize how ailing he actually was. Well, he was not the youngest anymore, was he? Something he often used for making a joke, but deep inside a part of him was serious about it. Not about the age in general, but about spent already more than half a life searching for something he didn't know himself what that was. William sighed, despite all the bad happenings of the day, a slight though sad looking smile lay on his face.

*** Belinda enters the hospital courtyard ***
Slipping through the doors to the courtyard, Belinda gently pulled the doors closed behind her as she didn't want to make any sort of disturbance. Nothing but crickets made a sound as Belinda gazed around, the yard lit dimly by lamps nearby. In the bear distance, she spotted a figure leaning against the handrailing and assumed it was her missing patient. Being careful as to not cause a sudden fright she slowly proceeded towards the figure. "Hello there," Belinda greeted warmly as she inched closer, " Beautiful night, ain't it so?"

"Hello there,""Beautiful night, ain't it so?", suddenly a female voice brought him back to the hear and now. William slowly turned around with the smile still remaining on his face, now looking less sad.
"That it is, though I'd prefer to watch it from somewhere else." His voice was breaking all of a sudden, once he recognized the young woman. "Belinda." William let out a friendly chuckle. Well, they actually had met in the pet shelter only, which not meant they wouldn't have had quite a lot of conversations though. He was surprised to meet her here. The name tag on her clothes told him that she was no patient, thank heavens!
"How's Charlie?", William asked with a smirk. Charlie was one of his animal friends, a cheeky bird in her pet shelter, he was visiting every Thursday after closing time for lunch hour of his own shop. Well, every Thursday except for this.

"Belinda."
Blinking twice, Belinda was surprised as she did not expect a familiar face to be her missing patient. A light chuckle escaped her grinning lips, happy to see an old friend. "William, you've caught me by surprise!" Belinda admitted as she had placed one hand dantily over where her heart would be in her chest.
" How's Charlie?"
"Doing well! He missed you today. I had you in my thoughts today as I fed him, wondered where you might be..." A warm smile spread across Belinda's face, right before a concerned expression interrupted, "...Did not expect to see you here, and I'm sorry you're here. How is everything going?" Belinda asked, knowing by the fact that he was in the hospital that he was not okay so she didn't dare to ask such. She sat on a bench that was opposite of William, her hands folded in her lap waiting patiently for William to reply.

"Doing well! He missed you today. I had you in my thoughts today as I fed him, wondered where you might be..." William let out another of his friendly chuckles at that. He really enjoyed her and their little animal friend's company every Thursday. Actually, there was no special reason for making their meetings a Thursday ritual. Maybe he was just an old creature of habit. Oh yes, he was, William thought as he came to actually think about it.
"...Did not expect to see you here, and I'm sorry you're here. How is everything going?"
The smile on his face softened, as a sign of slight sadness was joining it. "Well, I'm here, right? So it can't be that bad." At that, the smile lastly raised to a joyless chuckle. He didn't want to make more of a nuisance of himself than he already did. But then, maybe it was talking too much about himself just wasn't his style, so he tried to get himself off the topic of their conversation. "So, you're voluntary working here in the hospital?"

. "Well, I'm here, right? So it can't be that bad.". "So, you're voluntary working here in the hospital?"
Belinda smiled, trying to show some empathy towards her friend's current situation. She could tell that he did not want to talk further on the situation so Belinda did not press him on any further.
"Yes! I come here on voluntary shifts to help the nurses out with things they might not have time for during their busy day," Belinda stood up slowly as she walked a couple of steps towards William, "Speaking of which, as lovely of a night it is out here, the nurses will be concerned of your whereabouts. How about we walk back to your room? I would love to chat some more," Belinda smiled, knowing well that he might not want to go back into the hospital, of how frustrating and terrifying the whole place could be and times for patients. But she knew that his condition wouldn't get any better being out in the cold night. Plus, it might help for him to be in the company of a friend.

How about we walk back to your room? I would love to chat some more,"
William replied her smile, even though he wasn't too excited about getting back inside. But probably she was right. So he gave her a nod, accompanied by one of his humorous chuckles. "Better I'm not taking issue with a nurse then."
With one last look at the early night sky William slowly stood up, before he followed Belinda's steps through the door leading inside.
While they walked up the hall, he more and more felt this depressive feeling coming up again. And so he did what he was used to do, which was to put on his clowny mask. "I hope the escort service is included in my all-in booking."

Belinda patiently watched William as he took in the refreshing sight of the glimmering night sky before gently taking his arm in support as they exited the court yard and down through the halls. He always seemed so happy and contempt whenever they had always greeted each other in passing. Even now at is worst, he still could find humor and beauty in some sort of former, and Belinda admired that very much. Nonetheless, she could feel this man's kind soul and that it was hurting. Belinda wished she could do more. However, his business was not to be of her knowledge as they were only ever acquaintences. All she could do is be a supporting shoulder for him if need be.
"I hope the escort service is included in my all-in booking."
Belinda chuckled lightly as she gave William a starry smile, " it's not something we typically offer but you for, my friend, we have made an exception," Belinda winked as the approached the doorframe, "And here we are."

Patient's Room - (William's Room)
***William and Belinda enter from the hospital's courtyard***
"And here we are."A bleak expression accompanied the usual joy on William's face, once he found himself back in the patient's room. As it seemed there was no escape, at least not for... well, for how long actually? He had this cough, no big deal, wasn't it? But was he no doctor or nurse, so not in his power to decide anyway. William let out a sigh, for a moment not thinking about the woman still being with him. He normally wasn't someone pitying himself, but how long would it take these walls driving him crazy, while he not even had a clue about what had remained of his shop by now. Wordless did he take a seat on the bed, his eyes wandering over to the wooden toy locomotive he had rescued from the fire.

Belinda watched William take a seat on his bed, sorrow filling his spirit. Poor man, no one wanted to be stuck in the hospital and this place really seemed to be dampering his precious light. Belinda picked up the small cup of pills and the glass of water from the side table and handed it to her acquaintence. "This should bring you and your chest some comfort tonight while you try to get some rest. I know it can be hard to rest in a place like the hospital, " Belinda empathize with William as she handed him the items, noticing his gaze was locked on a small wooden locomotive. "What a curious little toy car! Is it yours?" Belinda asked, attempting to get his mind off of this place.

"What a curious little toy car! Is it yours?"
"It belongs to Ethan.", William answered with a smile, picking the toy locomotive up from the little bedside cabinet, as he went on. "He's four. Such a bright-minded young man." His smile widened at the mere imagination of the boy playing with this, once he would have finished the mending. A boy with no worries, just being happy. For a little moment William was trying to remember the time he once had been such a boy himself, but for some reason, there seemed to be no memory of that. Geez, he really got old...
"One of the wheels has to be aligned and the color has to be amended in spots as well.", William explained as the technician he was while replacing the toy car at the cabinet and carefully shoved it back and forth to demonstrate the little defect with the wheel. "I promised him to take care of it." His features saddened once again.

Belinda's expression fell at the sight of William's sadness over the broken toy car that he had promised the young boy he would take care of, Belinda assuming the young boy to be a grandson or some sort of relative. The wheels in Belinda's mind turned as she brought her index finger up to her lips in a pondering state for a few moments. Suddenly, her face lit up at an idea that was rather small, however it was the gesture that would count most of all. "If it's of any help, perhaps I could take the toy car to be repaired while you get well again? It would be no trouble at all, of course!" Belinda offered at the most she possibly could at an attempt to lift William's spirits.

"If it's of any help, perhaps I could take the toy car to be repaired while you get well again? It would be no trouble at all, of course!"
"Oh, no. Not necessary.", William replied with a warm smile, as he let off from the toy car and instead turned to face Belinda again. "But if you could get me some tools to do so myself, that would be just fine. Ah no, sorry.", he suddenly added with a slightly abashed chuckle and a shake of his head. "Don't mind that comment, please. I'm just gonna have to wait until I got released."

. "Don't mind that comment, please. I'm just gonna have to wait until I got released"
Belinda's heart leaped with compassion for William in his troubled state. She walked forward until she met him face to face, clasping her hands over his, trembling with pain and confusion. "I know this is all a lot to take in, and I can only imagine how misplaced you must be feeling," Belinda looked into William's eyes with the upmost sincerity for her acquaintence, " If there is absolutely anything I can do to rake your stay more comfortable, please let me know. It's why I'm here." Belinda truly loved what she did best, offer her compassion and comfort to those who could really need it most.

William answered her act of sympathy by clasping her hands over his with a diffident but thankful smile. He knew she didn't need to cheer him up, as that was something exceeding the duties of her job, but it really felt good to sense someone caring for him.
"I know this is all a lot to take in, and I can only imagine how misplaced you must be feeling,""If there is absolutely anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable, please let me know. It's why I'm here."
"Thank you.", William replied her kindness with deep gratitude, while his hands curled out of hers, only to embrace them in his a moment later. "I really appreciate that. Anyway", he suddenly added with another smile and a shrug of his shoulders. "You should just let me be and look after some patients needing your help more than I do. I'm gonna hold the fort for the time you'll be away."

"You should just let me be and look after some patients needing your help more than I do. I'm gonna hold the fort for the time you'll be away."
"Alright, try and get some rest. I'l be back to check in on you later," Belinda spoke gently as she nodded farewell to her acquaintance. Heading towards the door, she stopped in the frame and turned around once more to William, "And if you happen to find any other shenanigans to get in, let me know." Her warm smile expanded as she let loose a light internal chuckle before heading back in the hallway to her duty, leaving William to his room.
Belinda aided in taking care of many more patients that night, before coming across the hospital's current celebrity. "Hello, John Doe. I know, probably not your real name. But until you wake up, that's how we will greet," Belinda spoke to the coma ridden man laying in his bed as she walked over to his side table. Picking up the case of flowers, she went to empty and refresh the water for the blooming beauties. "Poor fellow. His family must be worried sick. A wife maybe. And kids..." Belinda could do more than imagine the pain that his child may be going through, as her own father had been missing for as long as she could remember. And for reasons, she wasn't ready to find him, until now. Placing the flowers in the vase filled with fresh water, she placed it on the table beside him. "Sweet dreams, John Doe." Seeing as John Doe was the last patient on her list, she retreated to the nurses station to see if there was anything else she could do before retiring for the evening.

William watched her heading towards the door, after nodding farewell to him. It happened then that a quick yawn formed on his face. Maybe he really needed some more rest. There was nothing else for him to do right now anyway. If he just knew how his shop or what was left over of it was doing?
"And if you happen to find any other shenanigans to get in, let me know.", Belinda suddenly turned around to him once more.
As if on command the worried expression, that had just started to creep its way back to his face, got replaced with a delightful chuckle. "I'll try to remember.", he stated before she left with a chuckle herself.
Once the door clicked shut behind, William leaned back in his pillow. The worry lines on his forehead were still in existence but seemed to be less deep as they had been still in the morning. Never mind how much you have lost, if there were people who cared for you, the burden was starting to weigh just the half; even if these people might not be his family.
This time William slept away with a slight smile on his lips.
