In Times Of Struggle

She nodded. "Not a doubt in my mind now that she's got access to a doctor," She smiled. "I had been so worried," She mumbled. "But we're finally getting out." She said to him.

---

He sat up. "I'm right here," He smiled a little as the doctor worked on her. "How are you feeling?" He asked, waving the doctor away. He had insisted he was fine until she was fully checked on

"I feel better what'd they drug me with?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes a little then sighed, "I couldn't possibly be dehydrated could I?" she asked as she looked at the IV.

---

He nodded little, "Good, If... if he lost her," he said softly then sighed, "I don't know what he'd do," he said lightly then wrappedh is arms around her. "Come on, lets go home"

"Some antibiotics," He smiled a little. "Im happy you're better, the thought of losing you was slowly breaking me," He admitted, kissing her forehead. "Just get better, okay?"

---

She grabbed their stuff and sighed, looking around. She was going to miss this island. One of the men came up to her asking what heir numbers were and how many rooms they would need. She turned to look around before telling him. "I guess we're getting rooms, I've never been on a cruise before," She said, raising her eyebrows

"Just get checked over okay, I want to make sure you're okay too, is.. wait.. oh god is that.. I smell food," she said inhaling then closed her eyes, "did you eat yet?" she asked him.

---

He looked at her, "We'll need what... 20 rooms?" he said then counted everyone, "No.. almost thirty rooms," he murmured once he did a count on is hand.

"No, I'm fine. I wanted to make sure you were okay," Jackson said to her, looking around. "They're bringing Naomi and the others now," He told her, sighting a little

---

She nodded a little and sighed. "Alright let's get this over with," She murmured as she set her things onto the boat. She turned to make sure everyone else was off the island before sighing. "Okay I'm ready," She murmured burying her face into Yugyeoms neck

He wrapped his arms around her, "It's okay," he murmured as he rubbed her back then looked at the ship in amazement it was huge - he'd never been on one before.

---

She nodded a little as she relaxed a little the sighed before scooting over, "Come on," she murmured patting the space next to her.

She waited until they told her to move, letting her get off the boat and into the ship. She looked around in amazement before someone asked how they needed to be put into staterooms. She knew that some people needed to stay together, so she explained making sure got7 with the exception of yugyeom and jackson had three rooms amongst themselves, Talia and jackson had a room, and she and Yugyeom did as well. She divided everyone else into groups off two based on who they slept with on the island.

She and Yugyeom were lead down into the medical bay and she shook her head, refusing to let go of him. "Check him first, I'm fine." She mumbled.

---

He climbed into the bed and wrapped his arms around her. "i hear Naomi," He laughed, stroking her cheek. "Get better, I mean it," He said softly, looking around. "It'll be nice to take a shower," He groaned.

She nodded a little as she snuggled into him then closed her yes, "I'll do my best to get better, hopefully we can shower soon. We don't really smell but.. I'd like to shave my legs a little," she murmured and looked up when a man walked in with bags.

"People have been asking if you need clothes so this is what they had to offer," The nurse said with a small smile, "you're what a size eight?"

"Well I was when we got to the island, now? I have no idea," she admitted to her, "Probably a six,"

---

He shook his head,"I'm fine, just point me in the direction of cold water and I'll be happy," he said making a couple of the employees laugh.

"Yeah I just want a shower, food, and a bed," She said softly. "Is that at all possible?" She asked, looking around as one of the officers came in.

"Of course, if you could help us with a list of names, we can get you settled in," He smiled at them.

Naomi nodded and pulled out the list she had made back on the island with everyones information. "Here you go, this is how everyone slept on the island. Don't separate these people, I mean it." She said softly, pointing out Talia and Jackson's names as well as her and Yugyeoms.

The officer nodded. "Come with me, we're checking the others now but we can send them to rooms now with the list. Follow me and I can take you both to a room."

She nodded a little, holding onto Yugyeom and thanking a woman repeatedly when she handed them both cold water bottles.

---

Jackson smiled a little as a woman came in. "Jackson and Talia? We've been told you need to room together, is that right? We're organizing everyone into rooms, so if you give us a bit we can show you."
Jackson shook his head. "Not unless she can be treated there, I'm not moving," He said softly. "I'm fine here until she can leave." He said to them.

"I just want some water, food too if possible." He murmured.

The man nodded,"She can be treated there we'll send a nurse to check on her a couple times a day till we reach land, we're contacting the local hospital so that when you arrive she can be admitted, but for now she is okay they might want to do extensive tests once you arrive," he said as he looked at them ,"Will she need help showering or do you got it?" he asked him.

"We'll get you two some food, just name it and it's yours no questions asked," he said.

---

He opened the bottle and sipped it at first, "Oh god, theres no risidual dirt," he murmured and then downed the entire bottle closing his eyes.

She laughed a little. "Thank god," She said, taking a sip of the water and sighing. "Can I shower now?" She asked, looking around the room. "I think I might shower in cold water I've missed it so much," She said as she walked. "Then I'm kinda hungry, where do we go for food?" She asked.

"Not to worry, just pick up the phone and it will be delivered. Anything you want, on or off the menu," The man said, laughing a little. "Also the captain would like to speak with you all once you're well, just let us know when you think you'll be ready for it."

---

He shook his head. "I can help her unless she says she'd rather a nurse," He murmured. He looked at her and climbed off the bed so she could be moved to a stateroom. "What do you want to eat? Want to shower first, or eat first?"

"Can I shower first?" she asked, "I feel dingy, and now that I think about it I think there is sand in my hair," she said making a face then smiling as she was set into a wheel chair. When they got to the room she looked around, "this is nicer than any house I've ever lived in...." she murmured as she wet her lips then looked to jackson.

---

He nodded a little, "Is either tonight or tomorrow morning okay? I think almost everyone is going to sleep the day away at this rate," he said to him as he looked around, "I didn't realize how tired I was I guess," he murmured suddenly feeling very exhausted.

She nodded a little. "Yeah, maybe tomorrow afternoon even," She murmured, following him into the room. She went inside and gaped, staring around the room. "I just want to shower but I think the second I hit that bed I might not move again," She murmured, walking around outside.

"Just pick up the phone and we'll be happy to do anything needed," He smiled before closing the door behind himself.

---

He nodded and turned, helping her out of the wheelchair. "Lets get you to the bathroom, come on," He murmured, setting her to sit on the tub. "Do you want to shower or take a bath?"

Talia shrugged, "A bath would be nice but a shower is quicker," she said to him lightly as she chewed on her bottom lip. "will you shower with me?"she asked him curiously as she pulled her hair out of the pony tail then yawned a little.

---

He nodded a little then wet his lips,"Alright, thank you very much," he said to him gratefully as he kicked his shoes off then looked around the room then heading to the bathroom, "Are you coming?" he asked her.

She laughed a little. "Your first shower with running water in over a year and you want to shower with me?" She asked, grinning a little. "I'm gonna be in there a while I'm gonna shave everything except my head and eyebrows."

---

He nodded. "Of course, I have to help you," He smiled as he pulled his shirt off. "Want anything from the basket?" He asked, looking for a razor because he wanted to shave his face.

"Razors, and the fluffy rag," she said to him smiling, "The hair on my body is so coarse its going to go through four razors at least," she snorted a little.

---

"Of course I want it to be," he said to her then smiled, "I'll actually get a close shave while I'm in there too," he said excitedly.

She smiled a little. "The longest shower of my life, honestly." She said, grabbing a razor and turning on the water. "I'm going to be hairless for the first time in ages,"

---

He got what she asked for and followed her, getting into the shower before turning to help her. "Want to sit down? I can bring that stool in here," He offered

Talia nodded a little," Still a little hard to breathe," she admitted to him as she leaned against the wall then began to undress. The last week had wrecked havok on her body, she'd done less and less around their camp - she felt bad but she felt too sick to mve half the time. With the steroids and antibiotics they'd given her she was feeling tons better but she still had a lot to do to get better.

---

He nodded a little, "I get that, I didn't shave much before all this but it's nice to maintain everything anyway," he said to her smiling a bit.

He brought her the stool and set it so shed be able to sit right under the spray. He pulled off his clothes and sighed, turning on the water and climbing in. "This feels unreal."

---

She turned on the water and climbed in, standing under the spray and sighing. "I can finally scrub myself, and I feel so happy about it," She murmured, going immediately in with the shaving cream to tackle her legs and under arms.

She closed her eyes letting the water hit her once she was undressed then sighed a little, "It feels so good," she murmured gently then wet her face rubbing it gently. Talia washed her hair, "I am shocked at how dirty my hair is," she gasped as she looked at the drain. "Gross," she mumble.

---

He smiled a little as he shaved his face then looked to her before he started washing his hair.
