Chapter 14

Kris, Kelly, Julie and Bosley were all asleep in Jill's room. Kris and Kelly were sleeping with their upper bodies in Jill's bed; Bosley and Julie were asleep in the couch. It had been almost 10 hours since they had brought Jill in, and since no one had gotten much sleep, they were all very tired. Kris had tried to stay awake, but there was no way she'd manage it. She had been awake for a few hours, and she'd asked the doctor several times why Jill didn't wake up. The doctor just answered that her body needed to rest. She was dehydrated, and her body temperature had been at 91,5°F when she was brought in.

Now, both Kris and Kelly woke up when Jill began to move around in the bed. Kris leaned forward to Jill, stroking her arm.

"Jill? Come on, wake up."

Jill was tossing slightly, face shifting from worried to happy… to pain and panic.

"No, no, no, no, no!" She began begging in her sleep.

"Jill? Jill!" Kris said, rising to her feet, grabbing Jill's unharmed shoulder. "Jill, wake up."

"Kris!" Jill screamed, flying up into sitting position, eyes staring straight forward in fear.

"I'm here. Jill, Jill, look at me. Hi. I'm here." Kris said, grabbing Jill's face, pulling her towards her. Bosley and Julie had woken up by Jill's scream, and now Julie hurried out to get Jill's doctor. Kris pulled Jill into a hug, and held her a long time.

"What did you dream about honey?"

"Steve…" Jill whispered, crying against Kris' shoulder.

By the sound of his name, Kris immediately pulled Jill closer. She knew Jill had been having nightmares for many years, sometimes they came every night, and then it could go weeks without her having them.

"Ssch, it's okay honey. I'm here."

Seconds later, the doctor they had met earlier came into the room. Jill leaned back against the pillows, and Kris stayed by Jill's side, not being able to leave since Jill held her hand so hard. The doctor gave her some sedative to get her pulse down before checking her vitals and temperature.

"Temperature is still a bit low, but she'll be okay." The doctor said before turning to Jill. "How's the shoulder?"

"A bit sore."

"I'll send a nurse in with some painkillers. Try to get some rest Ms Munroe." He said, smiling to Jill. She looked up at him and nodded, giving him a short smile. As he left, Jill turned against Kris.

"You okay honey?" Kris asked worried, helping her to drape the cover back over her, before putting her hand on Jill's good shoulder. Jill nodded slowly, biting her lip.

"Where am I?"

"Hospital in Venice."

"What happened?"

"You got kidnapped, then the kidnappers died so we didn't find you, and when we did you were so very very cold… But you heard the doctor, some rest and you'll be fine."

Jill nodded, leaning her head back to the pillow. She winced slightly as she moved her shoulder, when though it had been put back.

"I'm still cold." She whispered.

Kris met the others eyes, and Bosley pulled a blanket from the chair behind them. The nurse had put several blankets there just in case, so Bosley took one of them and put it over Jill.

"Thanks Bosley". Jill smiled, in the same time as the nurse came into the room. She smiled as she walked up to the bed.

"Will I fall asleep on this?" Jill asked tiredly.

"Probably, but you need the rest." The nurse smiled as she gave Jill the painkillers, before leaving the room.

"How did you find me?" Jill asked.

"Yeah, how did you find her?" Bosley asked, suddenly realizing Kris hadn't told him or Julie, or Charlie for that matter.

Kris looked up at Kelly, who just shook her head. `Tell them the truth´, her eyes said. Kris took a deep breath and bit her lower lip, then gave Bosley, Julie and Jill a smile.

"I went away and talked with one of the dead guys ex-wife. She was happy to spill the information about the houses."

"You went away alone?" Bosley said with an harsh voice.

"I know, I shouldn't have. But I just couldn't go to sleep so I walked out and had the files with me and as I was reading them I noticed her address and the next thing I knew I was on the train."

"Train?" Jill asked.

"I went to Padova, a town about 30 minutes from here."

The room got quiet for a minute, before Jill turned to Kelly.

"Have you yelled at her?"

Kelly nodded.

"Good. I'm too tired to yell." Jill mumbled, eyelids were already getting heavy from the medications. "I'll yell in the morning."

Kelly let out a soft giggle, happy that Jill was a little more as her normal self. Jill looked towards Kris, trying her best to stay awake, but the medications were doing their work.

"Jill, don't fight it, go back to sleep. It's good for you. Try to get some rest. We'll be here when you wake up." Kris smiled, hugging her sister again.

"Mhum, but I'm still mad at you." Jill mumbled as she fell asleep.

It only took a minute or two before Jill drifted back to sleep. Kris leaned back in the chair, happy that her sister was back. She was able to breath for the first time in days.

"I'm going to call Sabrina." Kelly said, patting Kris' shoulder as she walked passed her, grabbing the phone.

"What time is it in LA now?" Julie asked.

"Around 7 in the morning, but well, Sabrina doesn't sleep anymore." Kelly grinned, dialing the phone. It took some wait, but then she heard her daughter's voice in the phone.

"Sabrina's house, Ella here!"

Kelly smiled widely, and the rest of the gang immediately understood who had picked up the phone. No one could make Kelly smile like that except the little girl.

"Hi honey, it's mum!"

"Hi mommy! Are you doing okay at Sabrina's?"

"Yeah, I've helped her with Lucas and he is really cute! Can we have a baby too mum?"

Kelly laughed for a second.

"Well, honey, I don't know about that."

"When are you coming home?"

"Within a few days, I promise."

"I miss you!"

"I miss you too. Is Sabrina there?"

"Yes, she's standing next to me. By mum! I love you!"

"I love you too."

Kelly smiled at the others while she waited for Sabrina to pick up.

"Hi Kell!"

"Hi Bri, I hope I didn't wake anyone?"

"No, we're all awake, especially me and Lucas." Sabrina laughed tiredly.

"Good, or… well, you know what I mean."

"You found Jill?"

"Yeah. She'll be okay."

"Oh thank God."

"Yeah. We'll be heading home within a few days I guess. They just want to get her temperature back up before they release her from here."

"Back up?"

"I'll explain everything later."

"Okay. Give my love to everyone."

"Of course. And thank you again for taking care of Ella."

Sabrina began laughing again.

"What? What are you laughing at?"

"I heard what she asked you. I think someone doesn't want to become an only child."

"I'm not going to have a baby Sabrina." Kelly laughed.

"Maybe not today. Oh. Oh!"

"What?"

"Lucas' asleep. I have to go put him in bed. I'll talk to you later."

"Sure. Bye Bri."

"Bye."

Kelly hung up the phone.

"Sabrina sends her love." Kelly smiled to the rest of the gang.

"What was that about the baby talk?" Julie asked, and it made Kelly smile.

"Ella said she wanted us to have a baby too since Lucas is so cute."

Kris couldn't help but giggle, and she then took a deep breath. It felt good to finally smile a little. She still had the thought of leaving the agency in her head… But not yet.

The end.
