Everyday the doctors turned the vent down more and more. Jillian was starting to take over her own breathing but she still wasn't responding to them. The doctors told them it was good that she was partly breathing on her own. Another week went by before there was any change in her. The boys came to see her everyday.

Murphy was staring at his pant leg as he held her hand. He sighed as he prayed silently that she would wake up. He knew the longer she was in the coma, the least likely it would be that she would wake up and the less likely she would be the same. He didn't know what to do or how to help her and Jared. He wanted her to wake up for himself but he wanted her to wake up for Jared and his girls too. He closed his eyes and sighed a second time. Suddenly her fingers flicked against his. Murphy opened his eyes and looked at her hand, then her face.

" She moved." Murphy said quickly. Jared's head snapped up. Connor and Paul came to the bed. " She fucking moved her fingers, I felt them." Jared looked at her as she started to frown and shake her head.

" Jillian?" Jared said gently. Alarms started going off as her eyes flew open. Her hands came to her mouth and to the tube.

The doctors and nurses ran into the room, pushing all the men away from her. They turned off the alarms and started talking to her as they quickly unhooked the vent. The nurses pushed the men out of her room and slid the curtain over so they couldn't see what was going on. Jared put his hands on top of his head. Murphy shifted his weight from one leg to another as he rubbed his chin with his finger. The sounds coming from her room were the doctors giving orders to the nurses. Then they heard Jillian start to cough and cry. Jared's hands dropped to his knees as he bent over and closed his eyes. Connor started rubbing his back.

" I didn't think she'd wake up. I really didn't." Jared said. " I didn't want to say it out loud."

After a while the curtain was pulled back and the boys were allowed inside her room again. Jillian's eyes were closed but the tube was out of her mouth and she was breathing on her own. She still had the heart monitor on. Paul, Connor, and Murphy hang back to let Jared come to her first. Murphy wanted to be at her side but didn't move. Jared sat down slowly and took a hold of her hand.

" Jilly?" Jared asked softly. She turned her head towards him and opened her eyes slowly. Her face fell as she started to cry.

" Jared. You found me." Her voice was hoarse. He stood up and took his sister in his arms. She wrapped her arms around him as he buried her head into his chest. He closed his eyes as he felt his own tears start.

" I never stopped looking." He said into her hair. Jillian cried as she clutched her brother. " The boys are here, we never stopped looking for you. You're okay now." He said. Jillian pulled away and whipped her eyes. She looked over his shoulder to Connor and Murphy. Connor smiled at her while Murphy struggle to control himself. Jared took her face in his hands, making her look at him. "What happen? Tell me you didn't poison yourself to get away from him." She shook her head as he wiped her tears from her cheeks.

" I didn't. What are you talking about?" She asked.

" You were poisoned. That's why you are here." Jared said. She shook her head.

" I can't stay here. Antonio has a lot of friends, knows a lot of people. They will come for me." Paul came forward then.

" There are guards outside your room, no one but us are allowed in here. I'm Paul Smecker, by the way." He said. Jillian looked at him quickly. A confused look came over her face.

" He's with us, Love." Connor said as he and Murphy started forward. " And you don't have to worry about Antonio anymore."

" Maybe we could get her transferred back to Boston." Murphy said softly, not taking his eyes from her face. Paul nodded.

" Maybe so. Let me make a few calls." Paul said before he stepped out of the room.

" I'll go with him, I'll call Eunice and tell her Jillian's awake." Connor said. He came forward and kissed the top of Jillian's head. He walked away and patted Murphy's arm before he left. Jillian laid back in the bed and sighed. Murphy slowly sat down beside her bed. Jillian closed her eyes and reached for him. Murphy smile was small as he took her hand. He sighed as he squeezed her.

" You need something, Lass?" Murphy asked. She shook her head.

" My throat hurts so bad." She said.

" That's from the vent you were on the doctor said." Jared said.

She didn't do much talking the rest of the day. The doctors came in and out of her room, checking her over, doing blood work and scans. The boys were asked to leave when the nurses came in to do therapy on her. Her legs had gotten weak and now that she was awake, they wanted to work her out, make her legs stronger.

It only took a few days for Jillian to be transferred back to Boston. Paul, Connor, and Murphy flew back while Jared rode with her in the ambulance. Murphy had wanted to stay with her but didn't ask. She wasn't much to anyone but Jared. She was quiet and withdrawn. Paul had assured them that was common in a lot of kidnapping cases.

She had to spend another week at the hospital in Boston before she was released to come home. They were giving her therapy every time a couple times of day so by the time she left, she could walk on her own. All the doctors were surprised at her turn around considering the dose of poison she had been given but Jillian was determined to make it home.

Eunice, Paul, Connor, Murphy, Doc and the girls were all waiting for her to get home when Jared and Jillian pulled up. She was nervous to be home, nervous to see the girls and start her life over again. She never asked the boys what had happen to Antonio, she had a good idea he wasn't going to be a problem for her anymore.

" Who is that woman?" Jillian asked as they drove up the driveway. Jared smiled slightly.

" I think I have a girlfriend. She works with the FBI, she was amazing in looking for you and she stayed with the girls while I was gone. I think you're going to like her." He said as he shut off the car. The girls rushed to Jillian's side. Connor and Murphy were both standing with their arms crossed over their chest.

" Aunt Jilly's home!" Layla yelled as Lillian opened the door. Both girls reached and grabbed her. Jared laughed while everyone else smiled.

" Girls, you have to let Aunt Jilly breath." Jared said. Jillian wrapped her arms around her nieces as she gathered them up to her.

" I love you." She said to both the girls before she started kissing them.

" I love you!" They both cried.
