"What happened?" Jess asked as soon as the Doctor came out from the room where Don was. Hannah let go of Jess as she looked at the Doctor
"He crashed...his heart stopped working..we've managed to stabilise him for the time being but he is sleeping again" the Doctor informed them
"But he's alright? He was awake...I know he was..." Hannah said and the Doctor shrugged
"He may have been awake but...I am afraid to say that is a case of only time will tell. You can go back in you want. I'll be back in another half an hour" the Doctor nodded and Jess and Hannah went back into the room again.
...
"It's been a week Mac...nothing has changed" Stella complained as she watched Jess and Hannah in the room in the chairs they never left. They had only left to go and shower or eat. They slept there, basically they were inseparable.
"I know Stella...but he might wake up...he did once so he can do it again" Mac spoke. He was trying to persuade himself that Don would wake up. Suddenly they saw Hannah through the glass and she was leaning over Don.
"What's going on in there?" Mac asked and they heard Jess shriek and lay her hands over her mouth as she cried.
"Dad...can you talk? Dad?" Hannah asked her father as she saw his eyes slowly open up and he grinned lazily at them.
"What happened?" Don croaked as Jess walked out of the room to find a doctor. Hannah sat herself on the side of his bed and couldn't believe he was awake. After all this time he had woken up again.
"You went to the lab and there was a bomb...you was in a coma Dad...for a week" Hannah told him he frowned
"A week?" he asked and Hannah nodded.
"Yeah dad..." she didn't know what to say to him as Jess walked back in with the doctor in tow. The doctor raised the bed so Don was sitting up but still leaning against cushions.
"Detective Flack...nice to meet your acquaintance" he joked "right. I need to ask you a few questions if that's alright?"
"Fine with me" Don nodded in agreement slowly
"Okay then. So, your full name please?"
"Donald Flack Junior" Don stated
"Right, what year are we in?"
"2011" Don replied
"How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Four"
"Good. I don't think you have amnesia. You seem to be fully aware of what is happening around you. Anyhow Detective Flack, you may suffer dizziness or nausea for the next few days but that is natural. I want to monitor you for the next week to make sure you'll be alright to be discharged. You also have some cuts and bruises and we had to stitch up a wound in your head" the doctor informed Don who struggled to take it all in but he nodded. Hannah and Jess had the look of relief on their faces as they watched the doctor shine a light in Don's eye and make sure he was alright and awake. The doctor excused himself and then Jess sat in the chair as Hannah sat with Don. Jess grasped onto his hand and he smiled vaguely at her.
"Never do that to me again Donald Flack" she murmured at him but she was smiling at him and he smiled back at her.
"I'm sorry" he muttered "have you been here the whole time?"
"We haven't left your side unless we had to" Jess told him
"Thank you" he said. He was glad he had someone with him.
...
"I'm fine! I'm fine!" Don told them as he slowly walked into his apartment. Jess and Hannah was stood around him with their arms out ready to catch him if he fell.
"Sit down" Jess ordered him and Don rolled his eyes but he walked over to the sofa and basically fell onto it before shutting his eyes and grasping his head
"Dad? What's wrong?" Hannah asked and she knelt on the floor as Jess went over to the fridge and took out bottles of water.
"Nothing...nothing...I'm fine. I'm okay" he raised his hands with their palms out and he looked Hannah in the eyes and she raised a brow at him.
"As long as you're fine" Hannah said seriously
"I'm okay...glad to be out of the hospital" he said and Jess handed him the water. Hannah checked her watch and she groaned. It was twelve in the afternoon.
"I've got to go...my exam is at half one and I don't want to be late" she told her dad and pecked him on the cheek before Jess sat down on the sofa. Hannah put her coat on and gloves before grabbing her satchel.
"I'll be back at about five" she told them
"I'll come pick you up after the exam" Jess told Hannah and Hannah nodded
"Thanks" she said "bye"
"Bye Hannah! Good luck!" Don called.
"I hope she does okay" Don muttered "did she not revise at all when I was in the hospital?"
"No. Not for the week you were sleeping...when you woke up she started but she did plenty beforehand so she will be alright Don" Jess told him
"But...yeah, she will. Anyway, I need to use the bathroom" Don began to stand and Jess stood by his side quickly
"You okay?" Jess checked
"Baby...I know you're worried...but I'm fine" Don assured her and he began to walk to the bathroom and Jess chuckled as she remained stood where she was which took a lot of effort.
"You're stubborn Donald Flack...very stubborn" Jess muttered as Don smiled and went into the bathroom.
...
"Right, you do not move from that spot until I come back from picking Hannah up, understand?" Jess pointed her car keys at him and had her brows raised at him in seriousness.
"I shall be here awaiting your arrival" Don said and Jess grinned before walking from the apartment. She drove to the school and noticed Hannah stood on the steps of the school with Mark stood opposite her. She was laughing at what he was saying and then she nodded before he whispered something in her ear, she laughed again and then turned and noticed Jess. Quickly, she pecked him on the cheek and then took off for the car.
"How did it go?" Jess asked as she began to drive
"Not bad to be fair. It probably could have gone better but who knows?" Hannah hated talking about how exams went.
"How's dad?" she asked her
"He hasn't moved...mainly because I won't let him go anywhere" Jess smiled as she stopped at a red light and smiled at the fact that Don was still with them.
