"Sorry I'm late Danny." Sighed Steve as he came into the room, looking to his friend who was sat over on the window sill and then to Grace who had fallen asleep in the chair. "Traffic was a nightmare getting here and then surprise surprise trying to find a parking space is even more of a nightmare." He grumbled before he then looked over to Sam. Seeing she wasn't hooked up to a machine to help her breathe he then looked to his friend and smiled a little. "What did I miss?" he asked looking to him.

"Don't worry about it." Smiled Danny before he then looked to his sister once more before looking back to Steve. "The fluid on her lungs is gone. That x-ray this morning confirmed it. Doctor said when she wakes up as long as she's okay and responding well she should be able to go home by the end of the weekend." He told him with a smile.

Steve smiled as he moved over to his friend. "I'm happy for you. You must be thrilled."

Danny nodded looking over to this daughter. "If anything I want her home for Grace's sake. She loves Sam so much." He sighed before looking to Sam. "But she's a fighter. She hasn't woken up yet since they took her off the machine but the doctor said to keep an eye on her breathing and any problems just call a nurse. He was confident she'd be okay. Though said she might end up suffering PTSD…"

Steve frowned. "Really? Well we won't know that…knowing Sam she'll be perfectly fine." He smiled reassuringly to his friend.

"I hope so." He smiled to him before he looked over to Grace. "I'm going to get her home." He told him.

Steve nodded. "Yeah of course. If Sam wakes up I'll let you know straight away." He informed him.

Danny smiled. "Thanks." Getting up from where he was sat he then headed over to his daughter and gently moved his arms around her as he picked her up. Yes she was a bit big to be picked up but he didn't have to heart to wake her up. She was so tired.

Opening the door for Danny he then looked to his friend. "I'll see you in the morning."

Danny nodded. "You will. See you tomorrow." Walking out of the room he then headed down the corridor with his sleeping daughter.

Watching Danny and Grace go, Steve shut the door after him and went over to his sleeping girlfriend. She looked so much better from this morning. Going over to the bed he perched himself on the edge of it before he gently took Sam's hand in his and pressed a kiss to it. "I knew you'd get through this." He whispered to her. "Just wake up for me…" He pleaded looking to her, giving her hand a gentle squeeze; a soft sigh passed his lips when she didn't respond. Kissing her hand once more he then moved into the chair next to the bed and just watched her sleep…as well as watching her breathing! A small yawn passing his lips he then got comfy and rested his arms down on the bed before resting his head on top of them, still holding onto Sam's hand loosely as he let his eyes fall to a close as he drifted off to sleep. He could hear her brain activity machine beeping away but he had gotten used to the sound so it didn't seem to bother him so much. Right now he just wanted to get some sleep and hope it wouldn't be long before Sam would wake up.

A frown forming on her features, Sam's eyes slowly began to flutter open. She was a little confused. She didn't know where she was. Feeling someone holding onto her hand she then looked down slightly. Seeing Steve sleeping beside her, she smiled to herself a little before she frowned once more. Nothing was making sense. Looking to the clock opposite her she could see that it was one thirty…but seeing as Steve was sleeping she guessed it was the middle of the night. Moving her free hand to her head feeling an itch, she frowned as she felt the wires she shook her head and pulled off the wires that were attached to her head.

Feeling moved about Steve frowned a little in his sleep as he let his eyes open. Seeing Sam awake and pulling the wires off her he couldn't help but smile to himself, she was always doing what she wasn't supposed to be. But she was awake and that was the main thing right now! "Who said you could take those off?" He asked as he lifted his head and looked to her, holding onto her one hand still.

"I did." She mumbled, her voice dry and horsed. "They're itchy." She commented as she pulled off the last wire before she then let her arm drop back down on the bed and looked to Steve. "I want to go home."

Sighing Steve got up from his seat and moved onto the bed with her, pressing a kiss to her forehead he then gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "You can in a few days." He promised looking to her. "They need to keep an eye on you."

"I'm fine." Sam defended with a frown. "Apart from the fact I sound like a man."

"Sam you were in a coma for three days…"

Sam frowned hearing him and looked to him. "Three days? But why?"

Steve frowned as he looked to her. "What do you remember?" He asked as he looked to her, moving some hair out of her face.

Sam shrugged a little as she tried to remember. "Not a lot…I passed out not long after you left me in the jungle. When I woke up Marvin and Butch were dragging me out of the jungle…I tried to get away but Marvin hit me and knocked me out…then I remember…I tried to wake up but I couldn't move or scream then I felt very wet…" She frowned and shook her head. "I don't know."

Steve sighed as he looked to her. "Sam you were thrown off a boat…they had tied you up before throwing you off. I got to you as fast as I could but when we got you on the boat you weren't breathing. When the doctors got you breathing you struggled because you still had fluid in your lungs. They sedated you and put you on a machine to make it more comfortable for you to breathe until the fluid went…" He explained softly to her before sighing. "You were also shot…"

Sam listened to him carefully before she then frowned as he mentioned she had been shot and moved her hand to her hip. "I didn't even feel it…"

"Adrenaline." He mumbled down to her before sighing. "You have a few broken ribs too…but that's my fault…well sort of. Doctor said you have quite brittle bones which is why your ribs broke easily when I gave you CPR."

Sam just sighed and shook her head. "I'm hopeless."

Steve shook his head as he cupped her face. "Never hopeless." He whispered to her before sighing as he pressed a soft kiss to her lips before he looked to her. "You've just got to take it easy for a while okay?" Sighing he kissed her head and moved to sit next to her and held her close to him as he lent his head down onto hers. "I promised your brother I'd call him when you woke up." He mumbled as he looked down to her.

Sam frowned and shook her head. "I'm not in the mood for him right now. I just want to curl up with you for a while." She mumbled with a soft sigh. She couldn't get over the fact she had been in a coma for three days. Leaning into to Steve she let a sigh pass her lips. She just wanted to go home now if anything. "Where's Gemma?" She grumbled with a roll of her eyes.

"Arrested." He whispered down to her. "Don't worry about her or anyone else right now but yourself." Kissing her head he lent his head down onto hers. "Get some sleep."

Sam frowned. "I've been asleep for three days!" She grumbled to him looking up to him.

"It's two in the morning." He told her looking to her.

"I'm not tired." She mumbled with a frown.

Steve couldn't help but laugh as he looked down to her. "You are so stubborn."

"So are you." Sam countered looking to him. "You're as equally stubborn Steve McGarrett." She told him before coughing a little and relaxing her head back. "I feel like I've been sucking on a cactus."

Steve looked to her and laughed. "Sucking on a cactus? I don't think I've heard that expression before." He told her with a chuckle before he kissed her head and climbed off the bed. "Let me go and get you some water." Heading to the door he looked to her and pointed to her. "Don't move." He warned her as he headed out of her room and down to find a nurse so they could have some fresh water.

Sam shook her head and rolled her eyes as Steve told her not to moved, relaxing back on the bed she tried to remember everything that had happened. Tried to make some sense of things. Looking up as Steve come in she frowned. "Where's the water?"

Steve smiled. "The nurse will bring some fresh in now. They'll want to do a few checks on you now you're awake."

Sam frowned. "Really? It's like two in the morning…"

Steve laughed and shook his head sitting back down in the chair. "It needs to be done now you're awake."

"What if I go back to sleep?"

Steve laughed and got up and quickly stole a kiss off her and looked to her. "I'm sure she will be as quick as she can."

"Will she feed me?"

"I will personally go and get you some food when they've finished doing the checks." He promised her as he kissed her one more time before sitting back down in the chair.

Sam nodded a little before she let a small yawn pass her lips. As the nurse came in with some fresh water she then let her carry out the checks she needed to do. She wasn't keen on being poked and prodded right now but it was necessary. As the nurse then left, Sam sat up a little as she grabbed some water. She needed a drink! Downing the contents of the glass she then relaxed back in the bed once more and looked to Steve. "You look tired." She whispered looking to him.

"I'm okay." He promised her with a smile. "How about I get you a sandwich?"

Sam scrunched her nose a little and shook her head and sighed. "No don't worry." She mumbled looking to him resting her head back on the pillow.

Getting up from his seat Steve went over to the bed and perched himself next to her and took her hand in his. "Just concentrate on getting better." He whispered looking to her. "Sooner you're better the sooner I can get you home."

Sam smiled a little to him. "Can I go home now?"

Steve laughed and shook his head. "No. But soon." He promised looking to her as he kissed her hand and smiled as he looked to her. "Now go to sleep. I'll be right here when you wake up. I promise."

Sam looked to him and smiled softly to him. "I love you, you know that right?"

"I love you too…" He whispered to her as he lent in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. It was the first time they had told each other they loved each other and it had felt so right. The last few days had been hell for him. Not knowing if she was going to make it or not. Kissing her one more time he smiled to her. "Now get some sleep. Your brother is going to be here first thing." He told her with a smile as he got off the bed and went back into the chair. She needed to get her sleep.

Smiling to him, Sam then nodded a little as he told her to get some rest. Getting comfy in the bed she then held onto his hand as she let her eyes fall to a close. She might have been asleep for the past three days but it was catching up on her now. She needed more sleep. Holding onto his hand as she slept away, she let a small smile tug at her lips. She loved hearing him say he loved her. It felt so right. She loved him more than anything. Everything had been put in perspective for her now. She knew how she felt about him and he loved her. All she needed now was to go home.
