Chapter 11

There's pain, only pain coursing through my body. I can feel it in my arms my legs my head. My ribs feel bruised and painful. I hear murmurs in the gloomy room Where am I? I can't make out the voices. I try opening my eyes but I can't. I try again before I settle back into the darkness.

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Adam asked the doctor the concern evident.

"Officer Kalakaua has had a major contusion to her head but her brain activity is normal, she will wake when she's ready just give her time."

"Thank you doctor" Adam replied as he sat back next to Kono.

The other guys remained outside, giving Adam some space. He was furious with both Steve and Kono but he certainly was not going to let Kono wake up alone. He didn't know what he was going to say to her, but he almost appreciated the hospital environment as he wouldn't be able to scream and shout at her without drawing attention. He remembered the last time she ended up in hospital the fear he felt then. He made a mental note to kill her for putting him through this stress on top of his anger from her behaviour. He was brought out his thoughts when Chin entered the room.

"Can I come in?" Chin asked.

Adam nodded from his seat.

"What's the doctor said?" Chin asked

"She has a head contusion a cracked rib and bruised ribs, bruised arms, legs." Adam listed.

"She's tough she'll pull through" Chin said trying to reassure Adam and himself.

"I know"

"You going to call her out on her behaviour when she wakes up?" Chin asked

Adam rubbed a hand over his face and sighed. "I am so fucking angry with her Chin but I just want her to wake up so I know she's okay, then I'll deal with everything." Adam explained.

"Well once you're done yelling at her let me know I'm next in line." Chin muttered.

"Has she always been like this?" Adam asked.

"What stubborn, determined, acts before she thinks, yep that's Kono." Chin said humorously.

Adam smiled slightly and held Kono's hand. "She drives me crazy"

"She drove me crazy when she was a teen, she was so stubborn but she means well. She loves you Adam more than you know. I've never seen her so in love before, to be honest I don't think she's ever been in love. I know she loves Kelly too, having a family with you makes her happy but I do think she needs some tough love." Chin said.

"Trust me she isn't getting of lightly with this one lightly." Adam said.

"Mate don't forget she loves you." Chin said as he walked out of the room.

"Oh Kono please baby wake up." Adam begged.

I can hear Adam my baby. He wants me to wake up. I try; I try to open my eyes fighting the blackness to see my baby. As I fight for consciousness I feel a desperate need to pee. I open my eyes finally and I'm greeted by an off white sterile room, a direct opposite of my last memories. My head and ribs ache but more than that my bladder is bursting-I have to pee. I try to move my limbs and it catches Adam's attention.

"Kono!" Adam says.

"Hi" I croak

"Oh Kono " Adam's voice is relived but he's still furious and he grasps my hand.

"I need to use the bathroom" I struggle to say.

"Stay still baby, I'll grab the nurse." Adam said as he poked his head out the room and ushered a nurse over.

"I need to get up" Kono whispers.

"Will you stop being stubborn Kono and stay still let the nurse check you" Adam said with sternness but love.

"I really need to pee" Kono rasped.

"Officer Kalakaua good to see you awake how you feeling?" the nurse asked.

"Achy I have to pee" I tried.

"You have a catheter Officer Kalakaua"

I glance at Adam and the nurse. "Please I need to get up"

"Officer"

"Please" I beg my bladder at bursting point.

"Let me remove your catheter, do you want your partner to leave?" The nurse asks.

"It's fine" Kono mumbled.

The nurse removed the catheter and helped Kono stand.

"I'll take her" Adam jumped in.

"Okay" the nurse agreed.

"Come" Adam ushered as he aided Kono to the en-suit bathroom. Kono held him tight for support, she knew he was really angry form his short comments.

"Sit down" Adam instructs as Kono sits on the toilet her ribs screaming at her as well as her bladder.

"I'm fine now" Kono said trying to dismiss Adam.

"Just go Kono I'm not leaving you your to shaky" Adam admonished.

Kono tried to make him turn but her need to pee became too much and she let go…sighing in relief. She shook her head as she realised the last time she went to the bathroom had been in a pot, why was her bladder hitting her at inconvenient times.

"Done" Kono mumbled awkwardly as Adam helped her stand and get back to bed.

"Okay Officer Kalakaua, you need to rest now there's fresh water on the side and I'll bring pain medication if your require them." The nurse informed before leaving.

Kono lay in bed and fiddled with the sheets as Adam started intently at her. She knew Adam was mad she could tell buy his face.

"You mad at me?" Kono asked tentatively.

"Yes" Adam said firmly.

Kono bit her lip nervously. She had never felt so nervous around Adam, even when she took Kelly she didn't feel this scared. The only time she felt nervous around Adam was the first time they slept together. She avoided eye contact and continued biting her lip trying not to cry.

"I'm sorry" Kono whispered softly, she wasn't even sure Adam heard her.

"Sorry isn't always good enough Kono, especially if you don't mean it." Adam said calmly but with clear intent to scold.

Kono bit her lip harder as her eyes felt the tears trying to keep them at bay. Was he breaking up with her? Did he not believe her apology? She thought, not that she blamed him.

"A relationship has to work on trust Kono and you've broken that trust. You don't just have yourself anymore Kono. There's me and Kelly to consider." Adam continued.

Kono took a breath trying to keep her composure, still avoiding eye contact. She nodded her head slightly in understanding as Adam's words sunk in.

"If you do stuff Kono without thinking it has the potential to affect Kelly and that's not fair on her. I care if you do risky things Kono that's why I want to protect you. I don't know what I would do if you got yourself killed Kono but I don't care about me, I care about our little girl." Adam said.

"I know" Kono whispered quietly.

"I was upset when you left with Kelly, but I have never been so angry with you Kono." Adam said in frustration.

Kono's tears fell onto the blanket and she wiped them furiously. "Please don't be mad at me, I'm sorry." Kono mumbled sadly.

"What you did was stupid and selfish Kono, and right now I don't want to hear your apologies they don't mean anything right now. I am relieved that you are okay but I need to have some space otherwise I'm going to say something I regret." Adam said honestly as he walked out the room.

Kono broke down sobbing uncontrollably thinking of what she had done. Chin, Danny and Steve walked into the room a minute later, with Chin taking Kono in his arms soothing her cries. He was mad at her but he couldn't watch her cry. He knew Adam needed some space, he just hoped he would be back.
