"Waaah.." letting out a small groan Jamie turned over stretching. His body protested exhausted having to take care of Patrick alone while Eddie was in was fussy and colicky, he cried a lot and needed a lot. Jamie knew he missed Eddie.

Sighing Jamie managed to get himself up walking around his bed to Patrick's crib lifting the upset baby. "Come on buddy it's okay let's get you a bottle."

Sophia came out of her room, " let me feed him, Dad."

"Thanks Sophia," Jamie gratefully handed the fussy baby over stifling a yawn.

"Go back to bed, rest. Rebecca left already she was,gonna see mom."

Nodding unable to keep his eyes open Jamie yawned, "call me if you need help okay?" He turned back, laying in bed.

Sophia rocked her baby brother, "good, boy, good good boy."Patrick fussed a little drinking from the bottle satisfied in his big sister's arms.

Jamie slept in a state of near unconsciousness sleeping for hours while Joe came taking over care for his brother so the girl's could get to school. Mary Rose cooked breakfast helping out with chores around the house.

"Are you going to see mom after school or stay home to take care patrick? How much more can Dad take, he's so tired," Joe signed when his sister returned to the room.

"Yea I was thinking of going to see her when Rebecca comes back so someone is here with dad. He's exhausted I feel bad.." Mary Rose sighed.

"i know, Patrick has a really bad spell of colic," Mary Rose replied. And he misses Mom. I hope she can come home soon."

"He's sleeping, Joe sighed. "Finally."

Eddie lay in her room staring out the open window. She would start therapy in a few hours and was exhausted already, She she missed Jamie and her kids.

Danny knocked on Eddie's door, he was sneaking in because she wasn't able to have visitors until after therapy. "Hey, you look good."

"Hey Danny," Eddie shifted to lay facing him surprised to see him. "What are you doing here?"

"I snuck in, Linda is friends with one of the nurses so she let me in only for a little while though. I thought you could use some cheering up. You all right?" Danny studied the young woman's sad expression.

Eddie nodded slightly, "Yea just thinking about Jamie and the kids. Thought he'd come by to visit you know..i miss them."

"He's trying, Eddie," Danny replied. "He really is, yesterday was the first day you could have visitors and Patrick was colicky. He's crying a lot, the kid is exhausted.

" is Patrick okay Danny? Is Jamie? I need to go see them I can't leave Jamie like that. I promised to always have his back," Eddie reached for the wires connected to a machine. "My poor baby he needs mommy.."

"Rest," Danny replied. "He's okay, Patrick has very bad colic. The doctor gave him drops"

Sighing Eddie looked up at her brother in law. "Danny I have to go home and be with my family with Jamie and the kids, I have to."

"Can you walk?" Danny asked. "You still sound like you swallowed some marbles. You had a stroke, you have to recover."

She nodded, "Yea I can walk and being with my family is more important. I can rest there.." Eddie went to stand, falling back on her bed wobbly.

"you are not weight baring," Danny sighed. "And your arm is almost attached to your body."

"I'm fine I can the stupid therapy at home I have to see my family, my baby boy. I still haven't held my son," Eddie batted her long eyelashes, missing her husband and kids.

"You stand, show me you can stand and i'll get you out."

Biting her lip Eddie pushed up to stand shakily determined to get out of there. She was up for about three seconds before her weak leg slid. Danny caught her, but took pity on her. "Wanna go home?"

"Yes I do," Eddie pleaded.

Danny smiled, "Sit tight." He left to arrange it with the staff, Eddie was leaving AMA into his care.

Eddie perked up when Danny returned with the news that she was leaving. He helped her up holding Eddie's weight walking out slowly. Eddie did her best with the walker, sleeping upstairs at home was out but they had a nice sofa bed.

Grinning at how his brother will react seeing Eddie home Danny helped her in the car, driving the short distance. Pulling up to their house a half hour later he went around helping her out. "You go first I'm right here."

"Hold my bad arm, I feel shaky," Eddie replied. "Jamie is going to get so mad."

"I don't think so, Jamie misses you as much as you miss him maybe more " Danny took her arm supportively walking her slowly to the front door reaching for the bell.

The light flashed letting Joe know someone was at the door. The bell set Patrick off waking him again , and Jamie almost fell down the steps with exhaustion and just being woken up.

"Rebecca tell your brother I'll take him in a second " Jamie yawned to tired to sign throwing the door open. His eyes widened seeing Eddie standing outside. "Eddie!"

Danny held Eddie's arm helping her inside. Jamie grabbed her and held her tight. "Are you okay?"

"Yea I'm fine Danny came by to visit saw how much I missed you and the kids so he sprung me. I can have therapy here.." Eddie breathed in, it felt good to be home.

"you need to sit, Sophia, come help me with MOm."

Mary Rose came instead, "Sophia and Rebecca went to school dad..mom!" She quickly took Eddie's arm helping her into the living room.

"Mary,' edie helped her. Mary Rose felt the difference one side was much stronger. "Let's get you sitting down, I'll make up the sofa bed."

While they got her settled Joe looked back unable to hear anything that was going on widening his eyes seeing his mom. "Mom.." he signed placing Patrick in the rocker.

Smiling Joe leaned in for a hug letting the rocker bounce on its own for a minute happy to see ehis mom home with the family. "Missed you mom..glad your home.." Joe pulled back to sign before he hugged her again.

"Me too Joe.." Eddie held her boy tight smiling watched by Jamie smiling, glad their family was back together.

When they pulled apart Eddie looked down at the baby resting comfortably in her oldest son's arms. "Ooh he's beautiful." Smiling, Joe carefully transferred his brother for Eddie.
