he he everyone wants to see Morgan, she will be here soon enough
flid:
I am terrible lol, with you asking for Morgan I went to check when she next appears, and realised she should have been in this update, so heres the tiny bit I forgot.
Morgan sat on her bed looking out of the window. She had been moved from intensive care to an ordinary ward. Visiting time had just finished and she held back the tears as she watched the other people in the room greet their families and receive flowers and magazines. She tried not to stare wistfully as husbands kissed their wives and children hugged their mothers.
Christmas decorations hung around the corridor outside, but it didn’t raise the normal excitement in her. Why hadn’t Adam come, did he even care that she was in hospital?
The darkness outside seemed to close in on how she was feeling. The trees outside danced to the night air in some strange ballet.
Morgan curled up under her cover and closed her eyes. She would be home soon and then she could fix everything. Maybe Adam hadn’t come because he was busy with getting the place ready for Christmas, or maybe he had come and she had been asleep at the time. She hoped so; she would have to ask the nurse in the morning.

The nurse stood by Morgan’s bed ready with her daily antibiotics.
“Has anyone called for me?” she asked the nurse.
“Not that I am aware of, but you may want to check at the desk over there.” She replied.
Morgan leapt up off her bed and walked towards the desk.
“Morgan!” called the nurse behind her. “Your medication?”
“Oh sorry.” Said Morgan. All she had thought about was checking if Adam had called. She wasn’t interested in taking her tablets.
She swallowed them quickly and handed the glass of water back to the nurse, nearly spilling it everywhere in her haste.
The nurse tuted and placed the glass on Morgan’s bed side table.
“Excuse me.” Said Morgan to the woman behind the desk. “I was wondering if anyone had called in about me.”
The woman looked up unimpressed. “What's your name?” she said sighing.
“Morgan. Morgan Harris.”
The woman looked at her computer and quickly scanned down the list of names. “No. No calls for you I am afraid.”
“Are you sure?.” Asked Morgan positive that Adam would have at least called. “Can you check again?”
The woman tuted and rolled her eyes. “Still no.” she said flatly.
Morgan walked back to her bed. She wanted to go home, she wanted to see Adam and ask him why he hadn’t been to visit her. Surely life wasn’t so busy that he couldn’t even manage a quick message.
Adam woke up early; Melody was still asleep next to him, her blonde hair splayed out across the pillow. He watched her while she slept. He felt nothing, no rush of love or affection. He cared for her he knew that much, but something was missing.
What was he doing here? Maybe it was just a case of nerves, he didn’t know. He had lived with Morgan, but this was different. This was actually living with someone.
She opened her eyes and smiled up at him. "Morning" she said.
"Morning. Breakfast?" He asked wanting to get up straight away.
She stretched her long arms out and pulled the covers off. "Breakfast would be nice. We'll have to eat out though as we have nothing in yet." She said.
Adam leant over and placed a kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed and pulling on his jeans. Melody sat back and watched him dress. The muscles in his back flexing as he moved and she smiled happily to her self.
She had done it. She couldn’t believe she had actually managed to get him to move in, of course Morgan doing a runner had helped. She would have to thank her one day, if they ever saw her again.
Adam trailed behind Melody as they walked around looking at trees and decorations. Christmas music played out over the speakers in the shop and the whole place smelt of damp pine.
He watched as children queued outside the grotto, each of the leaning to try and see round the door and try and catch a glimpse of Santa. The fairies with glitter sparkling on their cheeks giving each child a smile and adding weight to the fantasy for them.
Morgan loved everything about Christmas. She had spent a lot of time watching the Christmas displays when ever Adam had brought her into town.
She would get lost in the magic of it all and her eyes would light up like a child. He loved watching that. He loved to see her happy and smiling.
"What you looking at?" asked Melody when she noticed him staring at the display.
"Oh nothing." He said as he came back from his thoughts.
"Come on." she said as she dragged him away from the crowd.
Melody grabbed Adams hand and led him towards the shop selling tree’s
‘Seasonal Sensations’ it said across the sign.
The lights in the window were turned off to enhance the decorations on the trees as they sparkled behind the glass.
White, green and multicoloured trees stood proudly with bright lights draped all over them flashing and dancing to the tune of Jingle Bells.
A two foot high Santa mechanically laughed and rubbed his belly as shoppers walked past. Morgan would have loved this shop.
“How about this one?” asked Melody as she pointed to a large silver tree.
Adam looked over to where she was pointing and screwed up his nose. “Cant we get a real one?” he asked.
“Real one? Do you know how much mess thoughts things make?” she said smiling at him. “No we will get a fake on, and they look much better.
Adam sighed, he wasn’t going to argue. Things had changed so dramatically over the last month that he just didn’t have the energy to argue about small things. He was just trying to keep up and live his life. “If you want the silver one then get it.” He said as he walked outside to wait for her.
“Men.” Tuted Melody to the woman behind the counter.
The woman just nodded and politely smiled in agreement.
Adam stood outside the shop, his gaze fixed back on the Christmas display. If only he could go back a year. Morgan would be here with him and she would be busting with all the excitement of a five year old.
“You’re a bundle of joy today.” Said Melody as she came out of the shop. “Lets head to the supermarket and then we can get home and you can stop sulking.”
“Can we stop by my flat on the way home? I just want to check for post.” Asked Adam as they drove back to the supermarket.
“You mean you want to check for Morgan.” Replied Melody with an edge to her voice.
“No I want to check for post.”
Melody turned away from him, not wanting to look at him while he lied to her. She knew it would take time to get Morgan out of his head, but she wasn’t a patient person.
“Fine, whatever just make it quick.”
