Sam gave Dani a quick kiss on the forehead where it wasn't bruised or cut, and left the room. On his way he ran into Dr. Patterson and asked for the papers because his Uncle Bobby was here.
"Sure Sam. Actually why don't I come down with you and let everyone know what happened and how we will be treating your sister. "
"Ok thanks Doctor" Sam said and they headed downstairs to see the rest of his remaining family.
As Sam and Dr. Patterson entered Dean's room they were greeted by Bobby, Caleb and Dr. Spencer trying to calm a very aggravated Dean.
"What do you mean my sister is being sedated? Let me GO! I want to see her right now. It's my fault she's in this situation." Dean was saying while struggling to sit up and get out of bed.
"Mr. Winchester you need to settle down right now. I will not hesitate to sedate or restrain you." Dr. Spencer replied, Dean went lax and all three grown men stepped back. Sam and Dr. Patterson began walking further into the room as soon as they saw that Dean had calmed down.
"Doctor, can you at least see if there is any way for me to see Dani? I just need to make sure that she is ok. Sam and her are all that I have left now, I can't let anything happen to her I don't know what I would do." Dean quietly replied.
Dr. Spencer and Dr. Patterson looked at each other and then Dr. Spencer answered back "Dean, me and Dr. Patterson need to go and discuss some possibilities. We will be right back." Both Doctors exited the room and into the hallway closing the door behind them.
That left a room full of worried hunters. Dani didn't know it but she had every man in that room wrapped around her finger and they would do anything to help her.
"Sam. I'm sorry about what I said before. It wasn't called for and I apologize. It's just that you leaving is a sore subject for me and Dani. So I'm sorry." Dean apologized and Sam was surprised, he was the one that screwed up and here Dean was apologizing.
"No Dean, you don't need to apologize for anything. It was my mistake, I shouldn't have reacted the way I did, and it was completely uncalled for." Sam responded.
"Ya idjits, from what I heard you are both to blame so quit apologizing and just accept it. Now Sam do I get a hello? "Bobby reprimanded the Winchester boys.
Sam walked over to Bobby and gave him a hug, and greeted him. Just as Sam was about to continue the Doctors walked back into the room.
"Well good news for you guys. We think Dani is stable enough to move down here from the PICU. She will still be sedated for awhile because of ventilator, but she should be able to get off of that rather soon. We will start transporting her down here to this other bed immediately." Dr. Patterson informed them with a smile on his face, he knew that although it wasn't much at least it would relieve some of the stress on this small but unusual family.
"Doctor would you still be on Dani's case if she was moved down here?" Caleb asked because even though he hadn't personally interacted with him, Caleb was happy that he was moving Dani down by all of them, especially Dean.
"I think that it would be best if I was still consulting the case because I have more experience with pediatrics then Dr. Spencer here, although Dr. Spencer will be doing most of the checking in and monitoring. Now if you don't have any more questions for me, Mr. Singer will you come with me I have some insurance papers I need you to fill out."
"Sure, Doctor. By the way call me Bobby, Mr. Singer was my father." Bobby replied and walked out the door with Dr. Patterson.
"Ok, boys I will start moving your sister down here, she should be here before the day is over. " Dr. Spencer said as he too left the room.
This left Dean, Sam and Caleb still occupying the room, they all sat in companionable silence not sure what to say to each other. They sat there for what must have been close to a half an hour before Sam began to look around the room and take in his surroundings. He noticed Dean had fallen asleep, but his face was drawn into a pained grimace and he had a slight sheen of sweat covering his forehead.
"Dean, Dean are you ok?" Sam asked while moving closer to his brother's bed. "Dean what's the matter?" Sam asked again having to restrain himself from shaking his brother awake. Noticing that his brother wasn't going to wake up, he reached for the call button to the nurse's station and hit it.
Next thing he knew, Kara came running in closely followed by Dr. Spencer.
"What's the matter Sam?" Kara asked before she got close to Dean's bed.
"We were just sitting here, and then I looked at Dean, he looks like he is in so much pain. I don't know why I just freaked out I guess." Sam said letting the tears he had been holding back fall down his cheeks. Caleb saw this and walked towards Sam and engulfed him in a hug.
"Sam its gonna be ok, just relax you have people to help you now." Caleb reassured Sam. Meanwhile Dr. Spencer and Kara continued to look over Dean.
"Well Sam, it looks like Dean's pain medication just wore off faster than we anticipated because of his argument earlier. We are giving him more Morphine now, he will be just fine. "Dr. Spencer reassured him and left the room followed by Kara who gave him a small smile in return.
Sam and Caleb sat down in the two vacated chairs beside Dean's bed.
"So Sam how have you been the last couple of years, I haven't heard from you in awhile." Caleb asked trying to break the tension in the air.
"Stanford's been really good to me. I'm acing all of my classes, the professors like me and I have an amazing girlfriend, her name is Jess." Sam answered with a smile on his face.
"That's great Sam, I'm happy for you, but what did you tell Jess when you came up here to help out Dean and Dani?" Caleb asked, not trying to ruin the moment, but genuinely curious as to what he told his girlfriend.
"I didn't tell her anything. She left yesterday morning with her parents on a summer long trip for Europe, she won't be back until fall semester." Sam answered with the smile leaving his face.
"What are you studying to become, knowing you and your big brains probably something really fancy." Caleb said trying to lighten the mood.
"Lawyer" was all Sam answered with.
The two pseudo siblings sat there in silence watching Dean, for the next couple of hours waiting, when finally Bobby rejoined them after filling out the paperwork and he too joined in the silence that engulfed the room. When finally just as the sun was setting outside the smudged hospital window, the door was opened and Dani was pushed in on a gurney and carefully transferred to the opposite bed. Her leg was immediately put back up into traction and the ventilator was hooked up once more. With all the commotion Dean woke up again, and to everyone's pleasure he looked like he was in less pain then when he went to sleep.
"Dani, my god." Was all Dean could say once the crowd surrounding his sister dissipated and he got a good look at her small bruised body. Dean wasn't the only one in shock from looking at her. Besides Sam nobody else had gotten up to see her yet, so it was a shock to everyone in the room.
"I will leave you all too get reunited; if you should need anything at all don't be afraid to page the nurse's station." Dr. Spencer said and then he and his posse of nurses left the family.
The small family sat down and stared in shock at the small girl that had stolen all of their hearts; they stayed like that for the rest of the night.
Forward 1 week
"Hey Doc when can I get out of this bed, I'm getting restless here." Dean asked for the millionth time that morning. Sam was surprised the nurses hadn't duct taped his mouth shut yet.
"Dean, I will get to you in a minute let me finish taking caring of your sister first." Dr. Spencer replied promptly, already used to Dean's attitude. He finished looking at Dani's leg and oxygen levels, and decided that today would be the day she could wake up. He wasn't too worried about her waking up now, the pain would be more manageable and the drainage tube was out of her side, although her leg was still in traction she could deal with that. Dr. Spencer walked over to Dean's bed and began to look at his remaining machines and his broken arm.
"Well Dean, it looks like you could be out of here tomorrow, if you behave yourself." Dr. Spencer said emphasizing the last part. "Where is the rest of your family? I would like to update all of you on Dani's condition at the same time."
"What's wrong Doctor did something happen?" Sam asked worry written all over his face.
"No, nothing is wrong; I would just like everyone here together." Dr. Spencer said Dani sure has her hands full with these two doting brothers.
"They went to the cafeteria they should be back soon. " Replied a puzzled Dean, trying to figure out what the Doctor wanted to tell them, and then as if they had been paged Caleb and Bobby walked into the room carrying a salad and coffee for Sam.
"Now what were you going to tell us Doctor?" Dean asked in a worried tone.
"There is nothing to worry about boys; I just wanted you all to be here, so I could tell that we will be taking Dani off the ventilator today. I believe she is ready and her oxygen levels reflect that." Dr. Spencer was met with smiles from the whole group and a giant hug from Sam.
"Thanks for the good news, Doc." Dean replied with a mega-watt smile still shining on his face.
The rest of the day, went by slowly for the odd ball group of hunters waiting for Dani to wake up. Dean was catching up with Bobby and Caleb, and Sam was talking to the Dean of Students at Stanford, trying to see if he could delay his final exams until the fall semester. Just as Sam, Caleb and Bobby were about to leave for the night Dani began to stir in her bed, and then an hour later she opened her eyes and smiled.
