Day 30: Safe to Fall Prompts used: fluff: Safe to Fall ww: "I don't know what to do." Fandom: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Rating: G Warning: None Description: Ghost and Soap find Jamie.

“You’re making sandcastles way too seriously,” Ghost comments as Soap talks about the best way to make a sandcastle. “I am not. It’s something fun, but there are ways to keep the sand from falling,” Soap argues. The van is parked, and everyone gets out.

Once a spot on the beach is secured, Gaz and Soap get to sandcastle building. Ghost unfolds a lounge chair, Places an umbrella in the sand and relaxes on  the chair. Price joins him under the umbrella in his own beach chair to read a book. Jamie gets into the water. The day is relaxing as Price intended.

“I don’t know what to do, Ghost,” Soap says, pacing the kitchen. “We need to find her. Neither of us would have thought she’d leave the flat over being corrected.” “I should have known. She was in her dimension with her toxic family who have brainwashed to think she does everything wrong, but she never…” “I know., but we can fix this.” The two get into Ghost’s car.

Jamie finds herself at the park. She walks along a path until she reaches a bench. She sits on it and looks up at the night sky, enjoying the quiet.

Ghost and Soap are on a weekend holiday camping at the beach. In the middle of a heatwave. The two don’t want to cancel their plans. The beach is empty when they arrive at noon.  Once the tent is set up, the two go into the water.  Ghost and Soap spend hours out in the sun swimming.

Nikolai and Price were hoping Jamie would fall asleep watching five men play a boring game of poker. The  thunderstorm didn’t last long. “Should give her some ZZzquill,” Soap comments. “We’re not giving a two-year-old sleep aid!” Price argues. “I’ll stay awake, you can sleep,” Nikolai suggests. “No point in both of us staying awake. I think she’ll be out in a couple of hours.” Price nods in agreement. He goes upstairs with Gaz, Ghost, and Soap.

Nikolai carries Jamie, who’s still wrapped in her blanket, to the couch. He sets her down and goes to the kitchen. “What are you doing?” Nikolai asks  as he sees Price sitting on the couch with Jamie. “Brought those sticker books she likes. Something to do rather than watch TV.” Price sees the cup in Nikolai’s hand. He knows Nik is trying the warm milk tactic. Price goes back upstairs. Jamie takes the cup and drinks without being told. Nikolai sits beside her, grabbing one of the books.  Nikolai watches the toddler work on placing stickers on a page.  The toddler is unaware that Nik is taking a couple of pictures.

The doctors said he was lucky to have survived. Gaz, Ghost, Jamie, and Price know a coma isn’t surviving. Being told Soap might not wake up isn’t lucky. Gaz, Ghost, Jamie, and Price know it’s likely Soap will have lasting disabilities from his TBI.  It’s hard for anyone to think about. What Gaz, Ghost, and Price didn’t think would be a problem is how Jamie is dealing with this. The three fail to see the guilt she has. Blaming herself for not being able to use her healing ability to heal Soap, or even to use any of her powers to prevent this from happening.

Three days have passed. Every day Jamie lies on the bed, careful of the wires and tubes. The others and the medical staff leave her alone, but they know this isn’t healthy coping. They know she’s eaten little. Jamie lies on the bed unaware of the discussion happening in the hallway.

“We can’t stay here until he awakes,” Price says. “We need to finish Makarov.” Ghost agrees. He would rather be here waiting for Soap to awaken, but the terrorist must be taken down. Gaz, Ghost, and Price worry about how Jamie will be as they get her to leave. The three are prepared to carry her out if they have to. Aware that’s not best.

Jamie is not pleased to be leaving. She refuses to leave. Gaz, Ghost, and Price expected Jamie to lash out like a child. They hate to resort to force. Gaz and Ghost keep Jamie from accidentally yanking a wire or tube as Price picks her up. “Come on. Let’s go home.” Jamie cries as Price walks out of the room. Ghost and Gaz follow him. The nurses watch the three men walk by. They know that such a situation is difficult for anyone.

Jamie sits on Price’s lap in the back seat on the drive to the airport where Nikolai waits. Price doesn’t know what to say. What can he say while the four wait for Soap to wake up? As they wait to see the damage the bullet caused?

Jamie is asleep when the black SUV pulls into the secure area of the airport. Nikolai stands by his helicopter. The Russian is concerned seeing Price carry Jamie as he exits the vehicle. He doesn’t need to ask to know why she looks like she had been crying. The four get into the helicopter. Price still holds Jamie as he takes his seat.

Jamie is used to injuries. She’s still getting used to missions going to shit and not being able to heal herself for one reason or another. The few times have been gunshot wounds.  Her ability isn’t perfect. Not all injuries can be healed. The best Jamie can do for three broken ribs is to ease the pain. Jamie walks down the corridor, feeling the pain from three broken ribs. “Why do I picture you in a tub of glowing water at night?” Soap smirks. “Haha, hilarious.” “I don’t believe you’re doing nothing to heal those ribs. Didn’t you say it’s possible but a slow process?” “Yes. It’s complicated. Just know I might be decreasing how long it takes for these bones to heal. Being able to fully heal  them would be nice. So boring being off duty.” Soap smiles, grabs Jamie’s wrist and leads her down the corridor.

Jamie is led into the kitchen. “We should make some snacks. Chocolate chip cookies.” Jamie watches Soap find a recipe on his phone and gather ingredients. “Better be a good one,” Jamie comments. “Just shut up and get me two eggs.” Jamie grabs three eggs. Ignoring her ribs protesting, she jumps up to crack on Soap’s head. She smirks seeing the yolk dripping from his hair.  His displeased expression is making it hard for her not to laugh. “Don’t make me laugh, it hurts.” “You started it!”  Soap cleans the egg off his head and gets an ice pack. “Here, I’ll make the cookies for you.” Jamie takes the ice pack and leaves the kitchen.  Soap smirks pleased he got Jamie laughing. Though an egg to the head wasn’t his plan.

Gaz, Ghost, and Price have noticed Soap taking on the role of primary caretaker since the team rescued Layla from a lab nine months ago. While his role is more support than taking care of Layla, Soap doesn’t stop.  Price knows why, but he’s not going to tell Gaz or Ghost. He’s not going to do Soap a favor and tell Layla either. Price knows and respects the reason why Soap hasn’t told Layla how he feels. Price knows the Scotsman has a good reason.

When Layla is late to meet him and Ghost for her training, Soap goes to her room.

After three knocks and no answer, Soap enters the room. Layla is still in bed.

“Are you… feeling ok?” He walks toward the bed and feels Layla’s forehead. “You’re warm. I don’t think you have a cold. Come on, I’m taking you to the medbay.” Layla whines as Soap lifts her into his arms.

Soap hates seeing Layla getting extra tests than anyone would to figure out her ailment. He watches Layla wrap her tail around her waist. Something he’s noticed is a sign of anxiety if she’s not looking to hide it when she goes out in public.  He starts thinking about how the young woman was used as a test subject. Locked away for two years and turned into a dog hybrid. Being a lucky one to survive is hardly a victory when you look different. Soap remembers how thin Layla was. His concern turns into anger. “Sergeant MacTavish?” A nurse says, snapping Soap back to reality. “It’s a cold with a moderate fever. It’s not normal for an adult,  but we’ve checked everything.” Soap feels little relief knowing this. He knows Layla’s changed biology isn’t helping. “We’re going to follow the protocol we have for everyone. Rest, fluids, and watch for worsening fever or symptoms that suggest flu or pneumonia.”

Ten minutes later, Soap is taking Layla back to her room in the barracks.

Jamie wakes up feeling unwell. In typical Jamie fashion, she ignores her illness and gets ready for early-morning PT.

By the time PT is done and a shower taken, Jamie sits at the table in the mess hall. She feels much worse but acts like she's ok. The hot coffee feels good going down her throat. Jamie doesn’t realize she's drinking more coffee than she would, which Gaz, Ghost, Price, and Soap notice. Price says nothing before feeling Jamie's forehead. "You're burning up." "I'm fine—" "You're ignoring being sick again!" Price scolds. After breakfast, Price takes Jamie to the medbay.

The medic confirms Jamie has a cold and, due to not resting, has a low-grade fever. Price takes Jamie to the common room.

Jamie lies on the sectional. Price covers her with a blanket and sits beside her. Soap makes it with Jamie's bottle of water from her room. "I have time. I can make soup," Soap says. "Better than the canned crap." Price nods, giving him the go-ahead. Soap leaves the room. Price looks over at Jamie to check on her. He sees her struggling to get warm. Price grabs the other blanket from the back of the sectional and lies beside Jamie. He covers both of them with the blanket. Price feels how cold Jamie is. He wraps his arms around her. It takes Jamie a few minutes to get warm. She falls asleep. Price is careful as he sits up. He fixes the blankets and leaves the room.

Price walks into the kitchen where Soap is cutting carrots. "You weren't kidding about making the soup." "I said it's better than the canned crap," Soap reminds him. "It just takes a while since I have to take the chicken first." "She's asleep. You don't need to rush." "Then we'll have soup for lunch." Jamie sleeps for four hours. She's woken up by Price.

"Wake up. Time for lunch." Price waits for Jamie to wake up.

Once in the mess hall, Price has Jamie sit at a table. He goes to get soup for the two of them.

Price comes back with Gaz, Ghost, and Soap, carrying two bowls of soup. Soap puts a package of saltines on the table. Gaz, Ghost, Price, and Soap watch Jamie eat while eating their soup. After lunch, Ghost takes Jamie to her room. "I'll stay with her overnight," Gaz decides. " Make sure she doesn't ignore being sick."

The last mission ended in shit. Which means more paperwork and planning for Price. Figuring out Task Force 141's next move. Nikolai watches, worried. He knows being the captain is stressful, but he's never seen Price like this. The Russian believes this is not just stress, but anger.

Nikolai enters Price's office, seeing the stack of papers still to be filled out. All because of how the mission went. Nikolai sighs as he sits on the chair in front of the desk.  He attempts to start a conversation that doesn't go as Nik expected. The room goes silent. Price looks to see who's been talking to him, realizing the mistake he made.  "I'm sorry, I'm just… not thinking right." "Should I assume you haven't slept in days?" The silence is Nikolai's answer. He pulls Price into a standing position and leads the captain out of his office. Price doesn't argue or stop Nikolai from taking him somewhere.

The two enter Price's room. Nikolai tells Price to change in the bathroom. The captain knows he can't argue.
