"Steve is everything okay?" Came Danny's voice as he walked up the corridor and spotted Steve stood outside Sam's room that next morning and rushed over to him. "I thought she was awake…"
Hearing Danny's voice, Steve looked up and looked to him and smiled. "She's fine. The doctor is just checking her over and I think they're going to remove the catheter so she can get up and walk around. Build up some strength so they can try and get her home as soon as possible." He told him reassuringly. "No Grace?" He asked not spotting his daughter with him.
"She's in the gift shop buying Sam something." He rolled his eyes and sighed. "How does she seem?" He then asked his friend looking to him.
"Good." Steve told him before sighing and looking to him. "She keeps asking when she can go home though."
Danny sighed and moved his hands into his pockets before looking to him once more. "Well hopefully they won't keep her in here much longer. Sam's not the biggest fan of hospitals."
Steve frowned as he glanced to his friend. "She's not?"
Danny shook his head. "Not since our grandfather died. She's always been a bit on edge in hospitals. I'm not surprised she keeps asking to go home." He mumbled before he then looked up as the doctor and nurse came out. "Is everything okay?" Danny quickly asked them moving closer to them.
The doctor smiled and nodded to Danny. "Yes. We've detached the catheter so if she does need the bathroom it would be better if someone went with her in case she's still a bit unsteady on her feet."
"When can we take her home?" Danny asked. "She's not a huge fan of hospitals."
"We will try and get her home as soon as we can. Now Sam's quite alert and we're happy she's making progress and there hasn't been any permanent damage and her ribs seem to be healing nicely. We do want her to build her strength up a bit first before we even think about sending her home so we will see how she is in a few days and we will keep doing x-rays to make sure no fluid is building back up in her lungs. Just because it's gone now doesn't mean further fluid won't start build up. We will get her home as soon as we can, but for now she's staying put." He explained with a smile before he then headed off.
Danny sighed and nodded before he then headed into the room. Seeing Sam trying to get out of bed he frowned. "Hey what do you think you are doing missy?" He questioned making his way over to her and helping her out of the bed while Steve came in and sat over on the window sill.
"I can't stay in this bed any longer." She grumbled with a frown before she held onto her brother as he helped her. She felt a bit unsteady but she'd be okay once she got used to being on her feet again. Hobbling over to the sink in the corner she then looked into the mirror and gasped at the large cut on her forehead. "That bastard." She scolded with a frown as she gently prodded it. "I should be called bloody scar face. Why do they always go for my face?" She grumbled with a pout.
"It'll heal." Danny told her with a sigh. "You need to get back into bed, Sam."
"Says who?" Sam asked with a frown as she looked to her brother.
"Says me." Danny told her. "Grace will be here any second. You need to get your butt into bed. You know she will only lecture you." He told her folding his arms across his chest.
Sam just rolled her eyes as she made her way back over to the bed and climbed back into the bed. "Hope this niece of mine is bringing me food." She grumbled with a pout.
"Seriously? You've been in a coma the past three days and all you can think about is your stomach?"
"Yes Daniel. For the simple fact that I have been in a coma and I'm sodding starving. You know you're supposed to be happy I'm awake. Not to mention you've broken the golden rule."
"What golden rule?"
"When a sibling is admitted to hospital you're supposed to bring them decent food as hospital food sucks. We made that pact when I was nine and you were having your appendix out."
"Well I didn't think it still count eighteen years later…"
"That's because you're an idiot." She grumbled with a huff.
"So lovely to see you're feeling better." Danny commented with a role of his eyes.
"Does that mean I can go home?" Sam asked with a grin.
Danny sighed. "No…but you'll be able to go soon." He promised with a smile to her.
"Not soon enough." She grumbled with a sigh before she then looked up as Grace came in. Smiling to her she then embraced her niece as she came running over and kissed her head. "Hey kiddo."
"I bought you presents." She beamed with a smile to her.
"Thank you. Hence why you're my favourite." She beamed with a grin to her.
"I'm you're only niece that's why." Giggled Grace with a smile to her.
"That's true. But you're still my favourite. Don't tell Eric will you?"
"I won't. Pinky promise."
"Good girl." Smiled Sam as she moved her arms around her and kissed her head once more. She loved her niece. She could always rely on Grace to put a smile on her face. "So come on…what you bring me?" She asked with a grin to her.
Grace smiled to her and handed her a small bag.
Taking the bag Sam then looked to her brother. "See. Least she loves me." Poking her tongue out to him she then looked in the bag and smiled. "You know me so well." She beamed and tipped the contents of the bag out onto the bed. Chocolate and sweet heaven.
"The dentist is going to have a field day with you on your next appointment." Danny commented looking to her.
Opening one of the chocolate bars Sam shrugged and took a bite out of it and looked to her brother. "One cavity in twenty seven years." She beamed proudly before giving Grace some chocolate, happily munching away on the goodies her niece had bought her.
"When you're home we are going to celebrate your birthday properly." Grace told her looking to her before sighing a little. "I made you cake but we had to throw it away cause it was stale but I'll make you a new one." She promised her aunt with a smile to her.
Sam smiled as she looked to her niece. "That sounds like a very good plan to me." She beamed to her with a smile before looking to her brother. "You don't have to stay and babysit me. I'm fine."
"If I left there would be holy hell. You'd claim I'd be neglecting you!"
Sam just rolled her eyes at her brother and kept her arms around her niece as she kept tucking into her chocolate. It felt so good to eat food right now, even if it was only junk food!
Shaking his head at his sister he then looked to Steve. "You can go if you want. I bet this one had you up all night nagging your ear off."
Sam glared at her brother before she smiled to Steve. "You've been amazing, thank you. Even if you did break some of my ribs." She teased with a smile to him. Oh how she wanted to just kiss him but she knew she couldn't. Not yet. Danny would go off. Smiling to him she then relaxed back on the bed. All she wanted now was to go home. Sleep in her own bed. Have proper cuddles with Steve at night, not both of them trying to squeeze on the bed like they did last night. Hopefully the hospital would let her go home in the next couple of days! She couldn't think of anything worse than being stuck in here longer than she needed to be.
Steve looked to Danny before he then looked to Sam and smiled. "You don't have to thank me." He smiled to her before pouting. "Sorry about the ribs…but in my defence I was trying to get you breathing again so I think you should let me off on that one." He told her with a chuckle before he then watched her and smiled to himself. He didn't want to go right now. He could happily sit there all day and just watch her, but Danny would get suspicious if he didn't…or would he? He wasn't sure. They had been taking it in turns watching Sam so to him it seemed natural that he would hang out more than normal. If anything he just wanted to get Sam home and back in the comfort of her own home.
Danny watched his sister and niece and he couldn't help but smile. Standing next to Steve he smiled to him. "Thank you for everything. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for you giving us a hand."
Steve looked to him. "Don't sweat it. You're my best friend. We're ohana. Where else would I be?" He smiled to him. "Don't have to apologise." He told him before he looked back over to Sam and Grace who were happily cuddling on the bed. He could see how much those two meant to each other and if anything the last few days had shown him how much Sam really meant to him. She meant so much to him and he really did love her.
