It was two days later when Shannon was released from Hospital, Kerry had volunteered to look after Shannon and Jessica while Shannon was unable to look after herself without her leg hurting, Shannon laid on the lounge as Jessica curled into her side, since she had been shot Jessica hadn't left her side since she was six Jessica hadn't climbed into her bed the last two night's Jessica had been curled into her side as she slept giving them both a sense of comfort, just by the others presence
"Jess" said Shannon lightly brushing the hair of Jessica's forehead
"Yeah mummy" said Jessica as she turned over looking at her mother as she placed her head on her mother's shoulder as Shannon placed an arm around her daughter
"We haven't spoken about what happened" said Shannon Jessica stiffened as she let out a small whimper "hey what's wrong" said Shannon as she rubbed Jessica's back lightly
"I was so scared, Aunty Kerry was really worried and she is never worried, I thought that you weren't going to come home" said Jessica her voice breaking as she let out small whimpers and she curled tighter in Shannon's side
"I know sweetie, I was worried too but you know that my friends wouldn't let me purposely get hurt" said Shannon, Jessica nodded her head but still stayed curled into her mother
"You said you wouldn't get hurt, but you did and now you are still hurt mummy" cried Jessica her body stiffing again
"I didn't mean to get hurt, I might be hurt now but when I go back to work I will be alot more careful" said Shannon as she kissed her daughters head letting a tear trail down her face as she thought about everything she could have lost.
"Hey Shan, Josh just texted me asking if you wanted the team to come over for dinner and watch a movie?" asked Kerry as she walked into the room, smiling at the scene before her"
"You do realise that it is Josh's subtle way off giving me an interrogation about Jess" said Shannon, Kerry rolled her eyes and nodded
"You may as well get the interrogation over and done with because they are all going to give you the same interrogation, if you do it once then it is over and done with" said Kerry Shannon nodded thoughtfully
"I am surprised that they held out this long" laughed Shannon lightly
"Yeah same with me, I thought the first day that I was going to have to make up some excuse for everything" said Kerry jokingly
"I thought about what I was going to tell them, I was going to say that her father is a past college they wouldn't know it was her father it would be truth but then they wouldn't know about him and I now" said Shannon, Kerry nodded her head thoughtfully
"If you two ever come out about Lawson then they might be pissed at you later on" said Kerry firmly, noticing that Jessica was now asleep so she could use Lawson's name without Jessica outing the two of them
"I know that but Lawson has only known for two days, once I explain that they will understand" said Shannon
"Okay it is your call" said Kerry nodding towards her phone
"Yeah tell them that they can come over" said Shannon, Kerry nodded her head before leaving Shannon decided to sleep until the team ended their shift which would be an hour from now, before facing the questions that would be placed on her later on that night.
