I DO NOT OWN TLC (TV channel), WHAT NOT TO WEAR, CBS OR FLASHPOINT

*6 hours later, at the hospital*

"So when will I be able to leave???" asked Sarah

"How about now?" said Dr Velasquez walking in

"Hey, Al! Nice to see you." said Mr Johnson

"Nice to see you too, Alex. Sarah, you can leave the hospital now but if you feel any pain or discomfort, I want you to come see me right away." said Dr Velasquez

"Thanks doctor! And don't worry I wont push myself too hard." said Sarah

"I can drive you home if you want" offered her dad

"No, take me to work I want to be there when CJ comes" said Sarah

"Okay we'll do!" said Mr Johnson

*At SRU HQ*

Sarah walks in the SRU and is happily greeted by Winnie who tells her that Team One was on call but that they are on their way back to HQ really soon.

"So, how are you feeling?" asked Winnie

"Actually I feel better. Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the pain I can get used to it… The painkillers help a lot!" said Sarah

"Well it's good to hear that!" said Sarge who walked in on the two ladies talking

"Hey Sarge!" said Sarah hugging Sarge

"You are out or you ran away?" asked Sam

"No…" said Sarah laughing "I got discharged by Dr Velasquez… I didn't call because I didn't want to bother you guys" she added

"Bother?! Nah, you will never bother us!!" said Ed

"Mom!!! You're here!!!" said CJ running to hug his mom

"Hey buddy!!!" said Sarah holding her son in her arms

"Mom, Spike said I could go to the fair with him if you want to. Can I go? Please??" begged CJ

"Don't you have any homework young man?" said Sarah trying to be serious

"But it's Friday mom! Please!!" pleaded CJ

"Alright, fine go but I want him back home before 9pm" said Sarah

"But mom!! There's fireworks at the end and it's at 9 I can't leave before!!!" said CJ

Team One laughed to CJ's plea

"Okay, you can go…But you better bring him back home safely." finally said Sarah to CJ and Spike

"I promise to bring him home at a reasonable time and that he will be well fed and happy." said Spike with his left hand on his heart

"Here let me take your backpack. You two have fun alright?" said Sarah

"You're not coming with us?" asked CJ

"No.. I'll stay home and rest… Have fun okay?" said Sarah kneeling to kiss her son's forehead

"Okay, I will… I love you mom." said CJ kissing his mom's cheek

"Thanks Spike…" said Sarah

"No problem. Hey CJ give me a minute I'll go change and we'll be ready to go." said Spike walking to the men locker room

"Well I guess I better head home now and get some rest.." said Sarah to the rest of the group

"You take your time okay?" said Wordy

"I will.. don't worry." said Sarah smiling while hugging Wordy

"Wordy's right, take your time. Actually take a few days off… We'll see you next week." said Sarge

"Alright… I will…See you next Wednesday then? said Sarah

"Wednesday sounds good. Take care of yourself." said Sarge

"Bye guys, have a nice debrief and weekend." said Sarah

"I'll call you" said Jules

"I know you will." said Sarah leaving

"She's really tough… I like that" said Ed to Sarge

"Yeah…She needs some time off" said Sarge

The rest of Team One debriefed without Spike who left with CJ to go to the fair and Sarah that went home to rest. Sarah was home alone, she took a long hot bubble bath and lighted some candles to get the relax ambiance she needed. She ordered her meal, too tired to cook anything and sat in front of the TV watching "What Not To Wear" on TLC while waiting for a re-run of Flashpoint on CBS. When the boys came home, Flashpoint had just ended.

"Mom, it was so fun!! We did the Ferris Wheel three times!!" said CJ

"Three times??" said Sarah worried

"Yup!!" said CJ proudly

"Thanks for taking him. Would you like something to drink Spike?" asked Sarah

"Take the hot chocolate! She makes the best ones!!!" answered CJ

"I guess I'll take a hot chocolate then" said Spike not knowing what to do

"Alright, come in." said Sarah

Sarah went in the kitchen and did the hot chocolates. She always added marshmallows, whipped cream and cinnamon powder on top. She found Spike in CJ's room talking.

"Here you go guys." said Sarah handing CJ and Spike their cup

"Mom, is Spike going to be my dad??!" asked CJ

"Your dad?" said Sarah surprised

"Yeah, he said it was up to you to decide." said CJ

"Uh.. Spike I think we need to talk….Now!" said Sarah

They left CJ's room for the kitchen
