A few hours went by. Zack hears his phone go off. " hello?" Julie sighs out in relief. " where are you guys?" Zack gulps. " I'm in the hospital with your mother. She was really sick this morning." Julie nods. " can I come see her tonight?" Zack chuckles. " let's see if they will let anyone visit her first okay?" Julie frowns a little. " okay bye. Just be careful." Zack hangs up with her sighing. Tyne had been texting Fletch all morning long. " Zack?" called a voice. Zack stands up as the nurse approaches him. " I have some word on your wife's progress." Zack gulps. " Well?" he questions. The nurse looks down at her clipboard. " well, She is in critical condition right now. The illness has really taken." Zack feels his heart break. " what? What are you saying?" The nurse looks up at him. " she's in quratine and is being treated right now." The nurse then walks off. Zack falls back into his chair. Tyne looks at him seeing him shaking. " Zack?" Zack puts his head against his fists. " she's quarantined from the rest of us." He sniffs. " they say they don't know what's wrong with her." Tyne rubs his back gently.
They stay there for a few more hours. A nurse walks out wearing a hazard suit. " sir I have news on your wife." Zack stands up. " your wife's condition has gotten a tad better. So far the fever has dropped but she is still coughing and vomiting violently. She isn't cleared to leave the area yet." He nods. " you'll have to come with us to get cleaned up so we can assure that the others that you know won't get infected." Zack nods. " come on Tyne!" he shouts. Tyne gets to her feet following him. The nurse takes them to a decontamination shower. Zack is taken into the men's part of it while Tyne was escorted to the female's.
(WARNING SHOWER PART HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR READER'S COMFORT!)
Zack comes out of the wash area grumbling softly about how cold the water was and how rough they scrubbed him down. A nurse waited outside for him. " sir your wife is now undergoing testing. We have successfully given her IV'd medicine and nutrition." Zack nods smiling. " that's great news but she was pregnant with my child." He murmurs. The nurse looks down. " I'm sorry sir but due to the illness she has lost her child." Zack felt a little weak. " I understand." The nurse smiles. " but your wife once she pulls through this infection her body will have made antibodies to fight it." Zack nods. " will I be able to see her?" The nurse nods. " of course sir. Once she has undergone further treatment and testing, she will be released back into your custody." The nurse leaves. Tyne storms out fully clothed. She turns to Zack just as he was about to say something. " go to hell!" she yells giving him " the bird." Zack chuckles. " sorry Tyne." Tyne shakes her head at him. " I have never been treated like that before in my life." Zack laughs again. " What? Is that shower not like having rough sex with Fletch at all? Geez it's hard to please you." Tyne blushes. " your lucky your wife is sick right now or else I would have so killed you!" she threatens. Zack chuckles again.
Half of the day goes by. Zack sighs waiting on word about his wife again. Tyne had gone home ticked off still about earlier. Zack hears his name being called. " your wife is out of quarantine and has been released back into your custody." Zack smiles. " alright." He goes into Samantha's room to find her awake. " Zack?" she questions. Zack runs to her. " Sam, I'm right here I haven't left at all." Samantha grins weakly. " I know you didn't. The nurse told me all about it including the shower part." She added. Zack blushed. " as long as you weren't getting fresh I'm fine." Zack laughs. " I'm glad to see your dry sense of humor is back." He teases. She swats at him. " watch your mouth love." Zack frowns. " I'm sorry about the baby." Samantha touches the side of his face. " I love you and don't worry about it. Julie was barely able to survive past birth." Zack touches her hand gently. Julie felt the medicine kick in. She falls asleep.
Tyne gets home finally grumbling under her breathe softly. " uh oh what's wrong?" chuckles Fletch. " I had a damn decontamination shower." She grumbles. Fletch smiles. " I'm sorry love." He kisses her gently. Tyne sighs. " and Samantha has been quarantined." She sits down flopping back in the chair. Fletch kisses her hand. " I'm just worried about Zack is all." Fletch smiles. " don't worry he will be fine." Tyne sat there enjoying Fletch's company.
The afternoon hour soon came. Tyne was getting herself ready to do the night shift. She tied her hair back leaving her signature bang covering her eye. Tyne put her visor on over her head. She tied both of her heat blades to her belt. She tugged on her jacket. Fletch was in the kitchen baking, or trying to at least. White flour covered his apron. " there the batter is done!" he poured it into a cake pan. He stuck the batter that sat in the pan in the oven. He set the tempature and started to clean up a bit in the kitchen. Tyne walked in to see Fletch all covered in flour. Tyne chuckles. " what did you do drop the flour on yourself?" Fletch shook his head. " no I was trying to bake something actually." Tyne tilts her head. " oh? Can you tell me what it is?" Fletch shakes his head. " just be surprised love." He murmurs as he kisses her. He hands her a canister. " this has some soup in it to eat for dinner tonight." Tyne nods putting it in her bag. Fletch takes her hand. " are you going to be okay by yourself tonight?" Tyne purrs at him. " don't worry I will have Cormac and Brewster to keep me company." Fletch purrs back at her kissing her again. She stays in his arms a bit longer before pulling away. " I'd best be off." Fletch nods. " right okay just come home safetly."
