Kim was driving home in the middle of the night in a snowstorm. Her boyfriend had fallen asleep but when it had gotten bad she woke him up. "Thanks for waking up Bill. I don't like this stuff." Kim said. "Don't worry about it sweetie. I'm glad you woke me." He replied. She continued to drive carefully but when the car hit black ice it was all over. The car hit the guardrail and went a crossed the road and into a tree, wrecking the car. Kim woke up in a bed and she didn't know why. She looked around and saw her boss sitting next to her, sleeping. She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again, wondering if it was a dream. Opening them she saw her boss was still there. She moaned some when she tried to talk. Her mouth was dry and couldn't form any words.

Skinner jumped at hearing a noise. He glanced over and saw Kim was finally awake. "OH my god.. Kim!" He took the few steps closer to her and looked down at her. He could tell that she was confused. He reached over and grabbed a glass of water with a straw and held out to her.

Kim lifted her head some and took a sip. She laid her head back down and gave him a small smile. "Thanks." She whispered.

"Anytime." He replied as he sat the glass back down. He reached down and pushed the button for the nurse. He had refused to leave her side since he was told she was here. Even when her parents where here, he stayed in the waiting room. But he hasn't been home since. Well, only to shower and change, but only to return afterwards.

A moment later, the doctor walked in and smiled when he saw the patient was up. "Glad your awake." He walked forward. "I know your in pain." He said and looked at her. "Are you able to sit up if we move the bed up?" He asked.

She gave him a nod, not sure what to expect.

The doctor raised the bed up and then stopped it when it was high enough. "I want you to follow my finger." He said as he turned the light on and shined it into her eyes as he moved his finger back and forth and up and down. "Good job." He said to her. "I want to check your sides. Make sure the bruises aren't getting worse."

Kim looked over at Skinner for a moment and then nodded at the doctor. She was confused and didn't know why she was here.

"What's the last thing you remember?" He asked, as he lifted the gown to the side to have a look.

Kim thought about it a moment. "I was spending the holiday weekend with my fiancé and …." She trailed off as it was slowly coming back to her. "I was driving, it was snowing and late. Did we crash? Where's Bill?" She asked starting to sound panicked and worried.

"Yes, very good. You where in a crash." He told her. "You have a few broken ribs, a bruised up shoulder. Your wrist is sprained and a small fracture on you ankle. Some bruises here and there." He said to her, not answering her right away.

She looked at him and then at her wrist. "What aren't you telling me?" She asked.

The doctor took a deep breath. "Well, for starters, why I can't give you pain pills for your injuries." He paused and looked at her. "Your pregnant." He said, knowing this was maybe the good news.
