Seven hours, it took several hours for the doctors to actually come out into the waiting room to tell them how her sister was; but even then they took Jenny asside and told her the cold hard truth; that Heather would live, but she might not ever walk again; nor would she ever be able to go on active duty, she would be stateside for the remainder of her days, she would be nothing but a civilan and Jenny knew that; that was a death sentance for someone in the armed forces especially someone whom loved it as much as Heather did. Jennifer went back to sit with Mike after the doctors told her that Heather was not up for visitors at the moment seeing as she was sleeping and wouldnt be able to really speak anyway. Mike looked at Jenny. "She'll walk again, she seems to stubborn to allow something like this to keep her from doing any dirty dancing moves or whatever you women do in those clubs" He scuffed. Jennifer couldnt hide the laugh and she shook her head.

"Heather has been through worse, but she has never been injured like this, she has never been put in a position where she would not be able to go back to duty" Jennifer was just hoping that this would not leave her twin depressed enough to do something stupid. Heather was very headstrong and if something was taken away from her especially something as serious as her job, her source of life and the reason for her having so much pride in what she did, she was not sure what would happen. She just hoped that she would seek help and not jump the shark or try to off herself because of it.

It was two hours later that the doctor came out and told Jenny and Mike that they could go back and see her. The moment when Jenny entered the room; she began to cry a bit, it was obvious that her sister was not fully stable yet; she was hooked up to machines, some helping her breathe; others monitoring her heart rate and got knows what else, Franks shook his head. "I hate hospitals; always give me the feeling of dread; the smell of death as well as the smell of old coffee" He again scuffed, but this time Jenny didnt laugh; Heather tried to. Heather whimpered a bit, but looked at her sister as Jenny began to speak. "Im so glad your alive, you-you scared me" She admitted. "Me? scare you?" Heather laughed a little forcefully. "Im sorry, I didnt mean to; I just didnt want NCIS especially the MCRT to lose such an asset" She then looked at Mike whom seemed to have been stareing at her.

"I wont be doing any tricks anytime soon" She pointed out, Mike only laughed and Jenny smirked. "At least the Shepard charm hasnt failed you any at least in this trying time" Jenny pointed out. Heather looked between Mike and Jenny; to say the least there was something about Mike that made her thinking about that damn Katy Perry video, he wasnt going to be her teenage dream; she was past teenage and going full force towards over the hill, she couldnt wait to hear the over the hill dream; cause in a matter of years her and Jenny would be, but she didnt know what to think when she looked at Mike in the honest sense; she feared the emotions she was feeling because she didnt quite understand them, she never felt like this before and the thought of being hurt would only scare her away more with each moment.

"How long are you in this rat hole for?" Mike asked. "As long as they feel the need to poke, prod and stick me for" She replied. "Sounds like hell to me" Mike replied. "Yep, sounds like hell to me too" She groaned.
