Chapter 12 (Finale Chapter)

It was a week later, and Sue had been released from the hospital. She was still very weak, but getting stronger everyday. Most of the day she just slept, and either Sid, Tobey, or Nana brought her meals up to her. Unfortunately, the vitamins the doctor prescribed her made her metabolism very high, which made her very hungry most of the time. Nana had called Joe about this, and said it would pass in about a week or so.

About an hour or two each day, Sue came downstairs to talk with everyone, and to join in Nana's meditation sessions. Nana would help her do some easy moves during training, but she would get tired very easily.

After about a week after she came home, she started to do about one or two deliveries each night. Tobey or Sid went with her to every house, and even walked up the stairs to the doors. Sid was unusually super protective and helpful of Sue during the time she was healing, and helped her with everything, even if she could do it by herself in her weakened state. When Sue dropped her book, he made a big deal about her just resting and not doing anything until she gets better.

"Sue! What are you doing down here?! Go upstairs and get some sleep, you need it!" he yelled at her.

"I left my book down here, and I'm hungry." Sue said as she got her book from the dining room table.

"Your hungry again? Tobey gave you a bowl of soup a half hour ago! How can you be hungry already?" Sid asked with his arms across his chest. He looked at her with an annoyed expression.

"Yeah, it's the medicine, remember?" Sue smiled, then went into the kitchen and got some yogurt with some chunks of apple. "And Sid, I'm fine. Stop worrying about me."

"Sorry Mei Mei, I can't help it. You're my little sister, it's in my job description to worry about you. I wasn't there to take care of you when you were sick and couldn't get to the hospital. I'm just so glad Tobey was there to help you. If he wasn't . . ."

"Don't say it! But thank you for worrying about me bro. that means a lot coming from you. And I really do love you and I'm so happy you're my big brother. I just have a question for you though."

"Shoot."

"Would you be mad at me if I told you I love Tobey?"

Sid stared at her, then smiled and shook his head. "No, not at all. All I want is for you to be happy, and I trust Tobey completely with you now. If you'll be happy with him, then I'm glad my little sis has her first boyfriend!"

"Sid!"

"What?"

"Stop it, before I ruin the moment!" Sue laughed and gave Sid a hug. He smiled and squeezed her tightly. "Sid?"

"Yes Mei Mei?"

"I can't breathe."

Sid laughed and loosened his grip on her, and gently kissed the top of her head.

"Sue, come here, I want to take a ride with you." Tobey called from the front of the restaurant as he put his helmet on. Sue walked to him just as she put on her red biking shirt.

"Yeah, where do you want to go?"

"I want to show you my favorite place in all of Chinatown."

"Tobey, I've been to the arcade and the ice cream shop before . . ."

"No, not there. And not there either. I want to take you somewhere where you've never been before, and that I want to show you." he smiled and handed Sue her helmet. She smiled back and took it as she slowly got on her bike.

~Three Delivery~

As they started riding, Tobey noticed Sue was still riding slowly, and slowed down a bit so he could bike beside her. Sue was starting to breathe heavily, like she was getting tired.

"Are you getting tired?"

"Just a bit."

"Hang on, we're almost there."

After about another ten minutes of riding, they came to Chung Li Park. Tobey and Sue parked their bikes outside of the entrance, and started walking inside the park.

"Come on, I want to take you to Serenity Bridge."

"Serenity Bridge? I've never heard of that bridge."

"It's a small bridge they just made. It's across the narrow river that goes through the park."

"But who gave it the name?"

"Me. It's so peaceful there, I love going there to blow off some steam. It's so beautiful, I just had to show you."

Soon, they reached the river, but no bridge. They continued to walk up the river until they reached the small wooden bridge. Tobey smiled and ushered Sue on to the bridge. She hesitantly stepped onto the bridge, and leaned forward on the railing of the bridge. Tobey walked next to her, and smiled at her.

Sue smiled back, and looked down at the calm water. She could see a family of ducks and ducklings swimming underneath the bridge. Some of the fall leaves that had already changed color and fallen off the trees had fell into the water, and she saw them spin slowly in the water as the breeze carried them upstream. Sighing, she closed her eyes, very calm and at peace.

Tobey looked at her, and knew immediately that his secret treatment was working. He asked, "How are you feeling? Better, I hope."

The ends of Sue's lips curled up ever so slightly, and she nodded. "Yes, thank you. Is this some kind of secret treatment for me to help me relax?"

Tobey put on one of his goofiest smiles, and laughed. "How'd you guess? It's my little special treatment for you. I thought it would calm you."

"Well, it worked." Sue smiled, then noticed Tobey had a bag hung over his shoulder. She cocked her head, wondering what it was. "What's in the bag Tobe?"

"Lunch! I brought some food for us to eat here!" Tobey grinned and started walking towards a nearby tree, but Sue grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him close.

"Why don't we skip right to dessert, huh Tobey?" she purred, then leaned in for a kiss. Tobey blushed, but then did the same, and their lips met. Sue gently bite his lower lip, and Tobey squealed with delight. He bit her lip, and she squealed. After about two minutes, Sue pushed him away, and he moaned with displeasure.

Sue stared into his brown eyes, and she could faintly see her reflection in his beautiful eyes. "Tobey, I really do love you. And I don't know how to thank you enough."

"Sue, I love you too, but why do you want to thank me?"

"It's because of you I'm still here. If you weren't there to take care of me, I would have died from that illness. And because of you, I know how to limit myself on what I can do, and have fun again. Thank you Tobey. Thank you for everything." Sue smiled and kissed him on the lips again, and he leaned in more both enjoying there kiss.

End.
