Hey guys this is chapter four of this story. Once again hope you are enjoying and please review! I like to hear what you readers think of it.

"Okay Officer McNally, how are you feeling?"

"I have some pain in my head but nothing else."

"So you're not experiencing any nausea, dizziness or severe headaches right?"

"No but I do have a small headache."

"That's to be expected after your kind of accident. Well we will keep you overnight and then you have to be on bed rest for two weeks to recover fully from your concussion. So no police work until your cleared by me."

"Okay thank you doctor."

The doctor left the room and then Traci came back into the room.

"Traci, I thought you were getting Sam for me."

"I told him to wait until the doctor left the room. He's in the bathroom right now."

"Oh."

"So are you really okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine just a small headache, the doctor said I would have to take it easy for two weeks but then I could possibly go back to work after that."

"That's good. So I'm going to head home now because I have to take Leo to my parents house tomorrow and I have to wake up early to pack for him. Get a good night sleep and I'll be back tomorrow to take you home."

"That won't be necessary." His voice startled the both of us but it also made my heart flutter.

"Traci I can take her home tomorrow. Enjoy your time with Leo. I know McNally and I have a lot to catch up on."

"Thanks Traci, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye."

We looked on as Traci left the room and then it got awkward for a couple of minutes. There was a lot of tension and I didn't know what to say and neither did he.

"So."

"So."

"Well are you doing okay, McNally? The doctor didn't really tell any of us anything."

"Yeah, I just have a concussion and he told me that I would have to be on bed rest for two weeks and then get cleared by him to go back to work."

"Wow, that will be challenging for you, missing all of that adventure that you seem to crave for." He cracked a smile and then became serious again.

"Well I'm glad you're doing okay but McNally I meant what I said earlier about me loving you and that I would never leave your side again. I know you must not want to get into a lot of details tonight but we can talk tomorrow when I pick you up from the hospital."

"Sam, I wanted to thank you for coming into the building today. You really helped me concentrate and calm down while I was holding the bomb. I know I didn't respond when you said that you loved me but I still do and I never stopped."

"McNally, I know you love me just as I have loved you since the day I met you in that alley. But we can discuss all of the things that went wrong tomorrow and the next day and for the next century if we want to. I will never stop loving you, so with that I'll let you catch on up your sleep because you need your rest."

He kissed the top of my head and started to walk away.

"Wait, Sam, you profess your love for me in front of the bomb squad and the whole division and that's all I get. A kiss on the forehead?"

"McNally."

"I want you to stay. I want you to hold me just for tonight. I haven't really touched or seen you since before we broke up so please just lay down next to me and hold me. That will help me sleep."

"Okay, move over you silly rookie."

We both curled into one another and held onto each other like our life depended on it. Well it really did depend on it. Before we both fell asleep, I heard the three words that I needed to hear the most.

"I love you, McNally."

"I love you too Sam."

And with that we both drifted off into the best night's sleep we have had since we broke up. Well almost besides that the hospital bed wasn't the most comfortable. But we both knew that we had taken a step in the right direction to fixing our relationship. Tomorrow would be both good and bad and I was looking forward to more progress together. That's all I can ask for.
