Awe...love sleeping Peter. :)

Aww, yeah, poor thing's exhausted after the day he just had *pets him*

Poor babies -- all of them! Waiting in a hospital is *almost* as bad as being the patient!

And yes, Neal will be fine... and have no scars, b/c he's magically alien ;-)

*hugs them all*

GREAT JOB!! \0/

LOL, yes, he always comes with a scar-free guarantee :P *hugs*

LOL Yay for that!! *HUGS*

El looks so worried and Peter is exhausted - and still in his bloodied clothes *pets him*

Of course Neal will be alright, though that surgery looks scary!

*hugs* Thank you. Yup, poor baby just suffered the adrenaline crash. Thankfully El is there with him. It's like Peter said - Neal = the death of him :P

Love sleeping Peter and worried El, but Neal is going to be okay, he'll just be spending lots of time at the Burkes - receiving all sorts of care.

Yes, exactly this :D Thank you :D

So beautiful. I can just imagine the conversation, the hand holding, the desperate worry. The relief.

Awww, thank you so much {{{HUGS}}} Yes, they just cling to each other waiting for some news... and when the relief part comes, they are gonna mother hen their poor boy to death :P

Aww, I love the expression on El's face, and poor Peter falling asleep on her lap with Neal's blood still on his shirt ♥ And the painted canvas effect!

Neal had better prepare for some serious spoiling when he gets home :D

Thank you :D Yeah, Neal is going to get seriously spoiled with fluffy pillows, warm blankets, fancy food and juice, Peter will even get some Italian roast from June :P

Awwwww, it's so heart-wrenching. El looks so upset, and Peter's exhaustion is so clear, and the surgery... *hugs them all*

Great job! *HUGS YOU* Thanks for sharing!

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} Thank you so much :D They are all poor babies right now, but everything will get better once Neal is out of the woods and able to go home with them :P

El's expression is heartbreaking and poor Peter, exhausted from worry!

Beautifully done as always!

*HUGS*

Thank you ♥♥♥ Somehow Peter always ends up exhausted b/c of Neal, either because he is sick from worry or he has to deal with Neal antics :P I bet right now he wishes it was the latter one *hugs him*

Aww poor exhausted Peter has not even changed, Elizabeth looks so worried. Looking fwd to Neal's recovery :D. You manage to convey so much in every pic.

Aww, thank you so much :D I always try my best to convey as much as possible, it's a writing substitute :P

I love the painting effect. Actually, a tiny scar in an intimate place, say... the inside of his hip maybe... might be quite sexy. I can imagine Neal's combined annoyance at his skin being marred but his pride at wearing a war wound, and Peter's perpetual extra special attention there. :)

Thank you :D And yesssssssssssssss, it could become Neal's super sensitive spot, a kiss, a lick, a little bit of sucking there and he could come on the spot :P

Oh wow. *smishes them all*

{{{HUGS}}} They need all the hugs :P Damn whump magnet :P

Aww, my sweeties! They'll never get a break with Neal, right? XD Anyway, at the end of the day(s) Neal's gonna pull through and will be royally spoiled at Casa Burke (with June and Mozzie adding to the mix). And as a little revenge (and to cover up his real emotions about Neal's next brush with death), Peter will finally get his CI to work on some of the mortgage fraud files they have in piles at the office ;)

Love, love, love the tile effect on the surgery part of the pic, El's worried face and Peter's exhaustion. Great work, sweetie, Brava!

Heee, thank you :D And YES to all of it :P I'm thinking for a while Peter will only take Neal out of the office for very minor things when Neal will always be glued to Peter :P
