Harry walked into the waiting room of the hospital and saw all his fellow officers waiting there. They were altogether, except for Tom, who sat alone at the other side of the room. Harry walked up to captain Fuller. "Sorry I'm late. Is she okay?" Fuller nodded his head "Yeah, I'm sure she will be fine." Harry was relieved. He looked up at the lone officer, "What's up with Hanson?" Fuller shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, but I might have clue."
The doctor walked in and walked up to the officers. They all stood up, even Tom. The man had an encouraging smile on his face. "Officer Kelly is going to be just fine. We retrieved the bullet and the wound is very minor. She will be able to go home in a few days, then I suggest two to three weeks off in order for her shoulder to heal properly." Everyone smiled, except for Tom. "Can we see her?" The doctor looked at the distressed young man "Yeah, you can. But she asked for a private audience with…a Thomas Hanson first." He looked around to see which one the girl was referring to. Tom raised his hand slightly "That would be me."
The doctor led Tom to Sarah's room. When he entered he saw her peaceful body lying on the bed, he eyes closed. He sat down on the chair beside her bed. He looked at her pale face that was mixed with black and blue on the right side. Right beside her eye was a cut with several stitches. It was hard for Hanson to look at her.
He held her hand in his own and rested his head on the bed. Then he quietly sobbed. "Tom?" The young man shot up when he heard her speak. She looked at him with a crocked eyebrow "Why are you crying?" She smiled slightly. "Why am I crying?" He looked at her with a hysterical look and he stood up "You could have been killed…he could have aimed for your heart and you would be dead." He started pacing the room franticly, "Penhall was supposed to the be there to make sure the sick freak wouldn't hurt you, but no. You get shot by that maniac and where was Penhall or Hoffs or Fuller, Huh…Hun."
Sarah watched the man mumble some more and she smiled in amusement. He turned and looked at her. He saw the look on her face "What are you smiling about?" He raised his voice "You are in a hospital bed." Sarah laughed and motioned for him to sit down. "Tommy, Hunny. I'm going to be fine. I knew the risks and knew exactly was going to happen. Yes, I was scared. But think about all the girls that we saved from the creep. Tom, I'm fine." She gave him a smile, know not all of it was true, physically she was going to be fine, but mentally she wasn't sure.
Tom calmed down a bit as he held Sarah's hand. "I just thought I lost you when I just found you. I really care about you Sarah." Sarah smiled lovingly at him. "I know you do." Then he leaned in and kissed her passionately on the lips.
They heard a fake cough behind them; Tom looked up at saw everyone standing in the door why. Tom gave them a twisted smile. Fuller had an unreadable look on his face, while Judy, Doug, and Harry looked at them with surprised. Booker just had a sick-minded smile on his lips. "Hanson, you dog you." The young officer glared at Dennis. Sarah just laughed.
Fuller looked from one to the other then he smiled "I knew when Sarah came to Jump Street that you would be together, Tommy." Tom was surprised at what his captain said, as was everyone else. Fuller then looked at Sarah "How are you doing, Hun?" Sarah smiled "I'm going to be just fine. Did you get a hold of my mom and my brother?" Fuller nodded his head "Yeah, they should be here soon." Sarah smiled at her captain.
Moments later, Donna and Jeff walked into the room. Jeff carried Ally in his arms. She was in her PJs and was rubbing they sleep away from her eyes. But her face lit up when she saw her mom. Jeff put her on the bed while she cuddled with her mom, making sure not to go near her mother's injured arm.
Donna looked at her daughter with sad eyes. She over and kissed her on the forehead. "Oh baby, are you okay?" Getting tired of the question she just nodded her head. Fuller seeing that the room was quiet full "Okay, guys we should go. And give her time with her family." He told his officers. "Tom you can stay." The young man nodded his head.
As the crew walked out, everyone had a questioning look on there face. Booker looked at them "I had no clue she had a daughter." Harry shook his head "Me neither. And since when has Tom been seeing her?" They all looked at one another. Fuller who was walking behind them "Guys, just let it be."
Back in the hospital room, Sarah played with Sarah's hair, avoiding questions. Tom could see in her face that not everything was okay. Donna looked at Tom "I can't believe you put her in that position. Don't you know what happened?" Tom looked sadly at Ms. Kelly, "I do, and it wasn't my decision." He looked at Sarah remembering what she said about her father. He smiled weakly at her and then leaned in a kissed her on the lips. Then he patted Ally on the head. The little girl look up at him and gave him a sweet smile.
A nurse came in "I'm sorry but visiting hours are over. I would let you stay. But the officer needs her rest." Tom nodded his head and kissed Sarah once more and picked up Ally, before leaving the room with her family.
He walked them to their vehicle and hand Ally to her grandmother. "Goodnight, squirt." He kissed her on the head. Donna put her in the car and shut the door so she wouldn't hear. Jeff went around and went in to the car as well.
"Tom, my daughter has been hurt one to many times. I don't want you to break her heart. Promise me you won't." Donna looked at the young officer. "I know ma'am. I could never do that I care too much for her." Tom said defensively. Donna smiled at him and patted him on the back "I know. I see it in you eyes." Tom smiled at her "I love your daughter."
