"Daddy, when will Papa wake up?" Sierra asked that night during dinner.

"I don't know, munchkin.

"You really miss him, huh?" Sierra nodded. "Me too, honey."

"Can I see him?"

Kyle hated to disappoint his daughter, so he just said "We'll see. Get cleaned up, and ready for your bath, Si. I'll be right there." Kyle yelled from the kitchen. He picked up the phone and dialed.

"Greg Evans."

"Hi Greg, it's Kyle. Listen, Sierra's been asking about Oliver and really wants to see him. Is there any way…?"

"Kyle, Oliver's back in intensive care. His heart stopped last night…"

"I'll be right there." Kyle hung up and quickly dialed another number.

"Hey Kyle baby, what's up?"

"Oliver…watch Sierra."

Layla dropped the phone, ran upstairs and barged into Kyle's apartment.

"Go, go. Sierra'll be fine."

With that, Kyle ran out the door.

A few minutes later he ran into the hospital and over to the nursing desk.

"Fish, Oliver Fish. Where is he?"

"I can't tell you that…" said the young girl behind the desk.

"Listen, I don't know who you are, nor do I really give a damn. I'm a doctor in this hospital." Kyle threw his badge in the girl's face. "Now, I'm going to ask you ag'in, where is Oliver Fish?"

The girl tapped a few keys. "ICU one."

Kyle ran to ICU one to find the bed empty and the room vacant.

Oh my god…

Kyle ran back to the information desk.

"He's…Oliver's not there."

"I'm sorry doctor, I gave you all the information I have your patient."

"He's not my patient! He's my fiancé, the love of my life. Now let's try this ag'in…"

The girl punched a few numbers in her computer and a security guard came running.

"What's the problem, Alicia?" The officer asked, the voice sounding vaguely familiar.

"This doctor is demanding to know where his partner, is, and it's bordering on harassment." said Alicia.

Kyle turned around to look the officer in the face. He looked so familiar. He looked like he could have been Oliver's twin or younger brother. Kyle thought he was hallucinating when he actually thought it was Oliver standing in front of him.

"Dr. Evans said my fiancé's heart stopped last night. I was so worried so I ran down here"

"Um, dude, yeah, hi. I assume you're Kyle? Oliver Fish's partner?" the officer took a step back. "I worked with Oliver in the Cherryvale PD before I got this hospital security gig. The name's Scott." as he put out his hand to shake Kyle's, "Oliver's down in testing right now, and when he's done, they're putting him back into a private room. Anyway, nice to meet you." Scott said.

"You too, sorry."

"So, all the tests came back clear." Kyle heard Greg say as the elevator doors opened, and Oliver was being pushed out on a gurney.

Kyle rushed over to them. "Hey, Greg, where are you taking him?"

"Back to his room."

"Okay." Kyle started to walk alongside Oliver. "It's been two days, and he's not awake yet. What's going on?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out." Greg said pushing Oliver into his room and hooking the monitors up. "Okay, you can stay with him. He's listed as critical, so just for a little while." Greg said walking out of the room and closing the door.

"Fish, this really isn't a joke anymore, okay? Sierra and I, both, miss you, love you and want you home with us. Now wake up!" Kyle stood up and kissed Oliver tenderly on the lips.

"Hey." Oliver said just above a whisper.

"Oliver?"

"Who else were you expecting?" Oliver asked huskily.

"I'm so glad you're awake." Kyle said giving him another kiss. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I've been sleeping forever. Were the guys caught?"

"Well, well, well, Officer Fish, glad to see you're awake and talking." Commissioner Bo Buchanan said pushing the door open.

"Thanks for stopping by, Commissioner. Tell me, were the guys caught?"

"No police business right now, Fish. Just concentrate on getting better." Bo said, leaving Oliver's room.

Kyle stood beside the bed holding Oliver's hand in his, clutching it for dear life. This was something he had always worried about when it came to Oliver's job. Every night he came home he was glad and relieved he was home safe and in one piece. He dreaded the time that Oliver wouldn't walk through the door. It would mean his worst nightmare had become a reality. Kyle realized he had an important phone call to make. He picked up his cell phone and pressed the speed dial for Layla's cell.

"Hey" said Kyle with a little pep in his voice

"Hey, you sound chipper today."

"Yeah, I have reason to be. Oliver woke up." Kyle said with a smile on his face that only Oliver could see.

"Gosh, Kyle, that's great. I knew he couldn't stay away for long. I'm sure you'd like to tell Sierra yourself."

Kyle could hear Layla calling Sierra in the background. He then heard Sierra's soft breathing from the other side.

"Hey, sweetie. Having fun with your aunt and uncle?"

"Hi, yeah. Uncle Cris and I drew lots of pictures together."

"That's great, sweetie. You'll have to show me in the morning. But I have someone that wants to say hello."

Kyle handed the phone to Oliver who was now sitting up. Kyle watched Oliver's gorgeous smile return to his face as he spoke to his daughter.

"Hey, munchkin."

"Papa?" Sierra said tentatively

"Yep, sweetie. I'm feeling better. I want to see you."

"Yay!" yelped Sierra

"Ok sweetie, I'm going to hand the phone back to Daddy. I'm getting sleepy."

"Ok Papa."

Oliver handed the phone to Kyle, who was smiling throughout the whole conversation. He was glad to have his Oliver back and he was sure Sierra was glad to have her Papa too.

"Daddy, I wanna come visit Papa. Can I please, pretty please, please, please, pleeeeease."

"Honey, it's getting late, I think it would be better if you waited until he was feeling better. Maybe after school tomorrow you can come say a quick hello."

"But Daddy….I want to see Papa!"

"Sweetie, I promise I'll come pick you up after school tomorrow and we'll come straight to the hospital to see Papa."

That seemed to satisfy Sierra. "Ok, Daddy." she said sweetly.

"Ok, I'll see you soon. I'm going to stay here a little while with Papa and then I'm coming to get you from Uncle Cris' and we can snuggle in bed together. How does that sound?"

"Ok Daddy."

Kyle left the hospital to pick up Sierra. It was hard to leave Oliver, but he needed to take care of Sierra and Oliver was still really tired and sleeping a lot so there was nothing for Kyle to do.
