"I want to go home. I can't sit in this stupid hospital anymore."

Zoe shook her head "only 24 more hours and you can go. You'll still be stuck in a house for the most part anyway."

"Yeah but at least I'll be home and not here being poked and prodded at by all these nurses."

"No, instead it will be me."

"You'll be poking at me?"

"Well no" she laughed "Unless you annoy me and don't behave."

He smiled up at her "I have to pee"

"Congrats" she laughed

"Help me up?"

Zoe nodded "You're lucky you can put weight on that ankle."

"Yeah I know, but this cast is really annoying and is still hard to walk with."

"That's why you have a crutch."

As Zoe helped Wade up he moved a little to fast. "Aaah. Damn ribs" he screamed

"I'm sorry" she pouted as she got him steady and handed him the crutch

He came out a little later and pointed to the chair. "I'm going there, I can't sit in that bed anymore." as he sat down he let out another painful scream

"I hate seeing you like this. You seem to be in a lot of pain today."

"They had me walking a lot this morning." he glanced up at the clock. "I get more pain meds in an hour."

"Who's here today?"

"Sarah is back."

"Oh"

"Don't be jealous" he teased

"I'm not" she laughed

"Yes, you are. You shouldn't be though." he reached for her hand "Thanks for everything this past week. I don't think I'd be doing this well if I didn't have you. I love you."

Zoe smiled "I love you too."

"Y'all are so cute" Lemon said walking into the room

"Hey Lemon" Wade waved and Zoe smiled at her

"How are you today? You look great." she smiled at Wade

"A lot of pain, but I've been doing a lot better."

"That's great"

"So we find a way to fix the bar yet? Any pot of gold at the end of any rainbows?"

"Actually that is what I came to tell you. I found an envelope full of money shoved between my back door this morning. It had almost $6,000 in it. That is way more than enough for what the insurance won't cover."

"Are you kidding me? That's insane, who did it come from?" he asked

"I don't know, there was no note. Just an envelope full of money."

"Brick?" Zoe asked

"That's who I thought at first but I went to him and I told him about it, he was just as surprised as I was."

"Lavon maybe?"

"No, he wouldn't do that."

"Does Jesse have that kind of money?"

"Probably but I can't imagine he would be that careless to just leave all that cash lying in between a door."

"That's true."

"There were no secret town meetings or functions you didn't know about that could have raised it?"

"I'm Lemon Breeland. Nothing gets past me!"

"Well obviously something did." Wade laughed "I have no clue who it could be. I don't know anyone with that much money." he turned to Zoe with a questioning look. "Doc?"

She looked up at him "Wasn't me. I've been a little busy to do secret money hiding missions at Lemon's house."

"Well, now I'm really out of ideas. We'll figure it out though."

"Yes, we will. You get to come home tomorrow?"

"Yes, thank god."

"How long will the rest of recovery be?"

Wade looked at Zoe "Doc?"

"Well, his ankle and arm should be better in 6-10 weeks. His ribs anywhere from 4-6. The kidney should be only another week or two. I'd say 3 months at the most for full recovery."

"That's crazy, will he have to do physical therapy?"

"Defiantly for his ankle, they might work on his wrist a little too."

"Wade Kinsella you are a mess."

"I know! But I'm alive."

"Thank the lord for that. I assume you will be the one taking care of him?" she asked Zoe

"Unless you wanna do it?" Zoe laughed

Lemon laughed "No, that seems horrible."

"Hey! Why do you say that?"

"You're Wade Kinsella, taking care of you seems just as much fun as taking care of a bear."

"I'm an excellent patient, right Doc?"

"Oh yeah, you're perfect." she smiled and rolled her eyes. "Have they checked your ribs today? Put ice on it?"

"No to both, you want to check it out?"

"Yeah, lean towards Lemon. Slowly." she told him. As he did that she lifted up his shirt to reveal the bruise that took up most of his side. "Seems to be a little better. You need to keep icing it."

"Oh my gosh" Lemon shrieked "That looks horrible."

"You should have seen it the first couple days. How's you incision?"

"Sarah checked that earlier, said it's healing fine."

"Let me see" she got up and moved to his other side. Wade leaned the other way and Zoe pulled up that side of his shirt. "It's good"

"Anything else you wanna examine?"

"Nope I checked your head before"

"How many scars are you going to have?" Lemon asked

"Well, his head, side, forearm and wrist, so four." Zoe answered for him

"What happened to his forearm?" Lemon asked

"A nail scraped through a nice chunk. Has that been checked?"

"Sarah re-bandaged that this morning."

"Alright."

"Well I'm going to get going. See if I can interrogate anyone and everyone in our town. Feel better Wade" she smiled "Bye Zoe"

"Bye" they both said

"Now what?"

"I don't know. Not much to do around here. Are you setting me up in my house, yours, Lavons?"

"I was going to talk to you about that. Lavon said If you want you can live there with him, but you would have to sleep in the office. You are welcome to come to my house but I have the steps to get it. I honestly think you would be most comfortable sleeping at your place and you can always hang out at Lavon's during the day. Since it has food."

"I like that idea. Are you going back to work?"

"Not for another couple weeks. Once you can get up and move around by yourself I will. I'll be your own personal doctor."

"Hmm, we used to play that game." he smirked

"Not like that!" she laughed "So we'll set you up at your place. I already cleaned it so that will be good."

"You cleaned my house?"

"Well yeah, The first few nights I was not sleeping so what else was there to do besides clean."

"Oh right, cause you missed me so much you slept in my bed."

"You better thank me. I dusted and mopped and did your laundry, vacuumed. Your place is spotless."

"Well thank you. You'll be like my own little personal servant."

Zoe laughed "You start bossing me around I will leave you so fast."

"No you won't. You gonna sleep at my place?"

"Do you need me to sleep at your place?"

"What if I need to get up in the middle of the night?"

"Pee in a bottle" she joked and he just glared at her "I'll be there" she reassured him

"I can't wait to sleep in my bed and hopefully actually sleep"

"I know I'll be able to sleep better now that you'll be home. Hopefully you can sleep with me there. I might have to sleep on the couch."

"Why?"

"Well, you're kind of injured on all sides, one wrong move on my part and you'll be in pain."

"Oh, You're so tiny, I bet I won't even know you're there."

"I hope" she smiled and then stood up. "I should get going, I will see you tomorrow." she smiled and gave him a kiss

"Thanks Baby, see you then."


Hope you liked it :D
