Kono and Chin didn't have long to wait before Danny stirred. He woke groggy from his pain meds and it took him a few minutes to gather his thoughts. He slowly took in his surroundings acknowledging Kono and Chins presence. He quickly turned to see his partner when memory of earlier came crashing back, Steve was quietly sleeping.

Chin and Kono both noticed the worried expressions that crossed Dannys face.

"Danny?" Kono reached out to him grasping his hand.

"Are you ok brah? "Chin glanced between him and Steve

Danny ran his hand through his hair taking in their troubled looks "yeah I'm fine….Steve kinda lost it earlier, or maybe I should say I did….anyway it wasn't good they tied him down and I sort of kicked everyone out of here"

Kono looked at Chin "well that would explain earlier"

"What?"

"No worries Danny its fine"

"I didn't realize it was that bad, he was completely out of it. He can't be tied down like that when he doesn't understand what's going on, he's going to get hurt worse than he is already….did they get a hold of his doctor yet?"

"We haven't heard anything and we haven't seen his doctor …I'll go ask at the desk" Kono headed out of the room.

Danny turned to look at Steve "has he been awake yet?"

"No both of you were sound asleep when Kono and I got here"

"Hey Chin can you roll my bed up?...lets see if we can wake him up?"

Chin rolled the bed up then moved over to Steve "Hey Steve you going to wake up brah ?"

"Come on sleeping beauty get your lazy butt up" Danny added in

Steve shifted and grimaced when he moved.

"Come on Steve…don't make me get out of this bed again….it's time to wake up partner"

Steve moved his head in the direction of Dannys voice and slowly blinked his eyes open.

"Hey it's about time you woke up!"

Chin put his hand on his forearm "How you doing brah?"

"Better….I think" as he moved to get more comfortable

Kono came back in with the doctor in tow "So whats been going on here you two…heard the pair of you were going to take down the hospital while I was gone" he said smiling "no worries the staff responsible have been reprimanded ….i was only a phone call away and no one here felt the need to contact me. So how are we doing commander? You look better than the last time I was here. How's the head?" as he shown a pen light into his eyes "Headache still?"

"No it's good"

"Don't believe him!" Danny piped up "he always says he's fine and he could be bleeding out"

Steve tried to look around the doctor to get a better look at his partner

"And when that look goes with it….he is so full of it"

"So commander it sounds like your partner has you pegged…..let's check your side" he pulled the blankets back exposing the bandaging on his side, he carefully pulled the surgical tape to loosen it. Steve flinched, "Take it easy "the doctor pulled the packing back and checked the incision "well it looks good, but you still have a slight fever but the antibiotics you're on should resolve that".

"Well doc what do you think?" Chin asked "Think they can go home soon?"

"I would think if all goes well in the next few days, I could release them both into someone's care….long as they rest and take their meds, they can do that at home as well as here."

A day and half later Kono and Chin were heading to the hospital to pick up Steve and Danny, the staff was ready to kick both men out the front door. The doctor figured instead of having a staff uprising he could release both men into their colleagues care.

When Kono and Chin made it to Danny and Steves door they could hear the two of them going at it…something about the truck, Dannys phone…..

Kono raised her eyebrows "We could leave them"

Chin smiled "Yeah we could"

Both entered cautiously, standing and taking in the scene, neither Steve or Danny noticed them as they bickered on.

"Yeah well see this?" as Danny held up a pile of papers "this …this is what I have to fill out because you …you neanderthal idiot don't know how to park your truck!...you mister broke the whole logo thing of built Chevy tough".

"I got ran off the road Danny….that doesn't count"

"Yes it counts, it just means you don't have any defensive driving skills…so I'll put you down for a defensive driving course while I'm at it too"

"What! I know how to be defensive!" Steve frowned that didn't come out right "I have lots of skills"

Danny looked over his papers "Yeah navy skills, so that's why I'm putting in for a yellow truck for you"

Steve gave him a look "Yellow?"

"Oh now there's a face I've never seen before…..of course yellow since you seemed to think the last one was a submarine…oh and the new phone you owe me too"

"Well don't forget the tie too" Steve said as he leaned back covering his eyes "I hate you"

"And that's my line Mr Super Seal" as Danny kept filling out the papers

Kono and Chin slowly backed out, quietly closing the door, they both stood staring. Chin spoke first "maybe we should split them up?"

"Maybe we should drug them til they don't need to be watched" Kono looked hopeful

"Well they have been cooped up so once their out?" Chin raised an eyebrow to Kono

Kono shook her head "I don't know cuz maybe we should just decide on a bottle of Tylenol or Advil for the headache they're going to give us"

Chin looked thoughtful "Ok both"

Kono frowned "Both?"

"Yeah get a bottle of each we're going to need it" as he pushed the door open, the sound of another argument erupted from the room.

Chin hesitated looking at his cousin "because some things are never going to change"

The End
