During that night Junior woke up to hearing Kris jerk awake.
"Whoa, Kris.. are you ok?"
He got a good look at Kris. She woke up in a cold sweat, her face was pale, she looked worn out.
Junior got up and got Kris a wet wash cloth for her face.
"Yeah." Kris said breathing heavily, "I'm fine. I just need a glass of water." Kris told Junior as he gave her the wash cloth.
"Are you sure? I mean Kris, don't take this the wrong way but, you look like hell."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Kris reassured him.
"Alright," He said still not totally convinced that Kris was ok, "just tell me if you need anything else."
Kris nodded and tried to go back to sleep but wasn't having any luck. She turned on the t.v. but had it low so Junior could sleep.
"Still awake Miss Furillo?" the nurse asked as she walked in.
"Yeah, I'm not really tired."
"Oh, well how are you feeling?"
"Uh, just a little woozy."
The nurse nodded, "Well, why don't you try and get some sleep and we will see how you are in the morning."
The next morning Junior had woken up before Kris and Kris quickly woke up after him.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Junior asked Kris.
"A little better than last night."
"That's good. Oh and I spoke to the doctor, he said that you will be able to go home in 2 days."
"Thank god, I think I have the taste of hospital jello stained in my mouth."
Junior laughed, "I am sure you do."
A few days passed and it was the day Kris was able to go home.
"Are you already to go?" Jean asked.
"Yeah, the faster we go the better." Kris smiled.
"Alright, lets get you out of here." Jean said as she grabbed Kris' hand to help her walk.
The car ride was somewhat quiet. The both talked but not a lot.
"Are you excited to see Wildfire?" Jean asked.
"You have no idea." Kris said smiling once again.
Once they arrived Kris ran out of the truck
"Easy Kris!" Jean yelled to Kris.
Kris looked back at Jean and slowed down.
"Hey boy, remember me?" Kris said excited.
Wildfire turned his head and started to walk towards her.
She opened the door and walked to him and started to stroke his neck.
"Did ya miss me?"
Wildfire nudged her.
Kris silently laughed, "Yeah I missed you too."
"I thought I heard you." Pablo said walking out of one of the stalls.
Kris smiled, "It's good to see you." Pablo added.
"Can I ride him?" Kris asked.
"I think you better lay low for a couple days before we let you start to ride again."
Kris understood and stayed with Wildfire for a while.
Later that day Matt had pulled up in the Raintree truck with Todd in the passenger seat. Kris was walking out of the stables when Todd saw her and he ran to her and gave her a hug.
"I'm glad you are home Kris." Todd said
"Yeah I am too." Matt added.
"Thanks, It actually good to be back."
They walked into the Ritter's house.
"Kris, do you wanna stay for dinner?" Jean asked
"Uhh, yeah sure why not. I haven't had a decent meal in a long time."
Dinner was over and they all watched a movie in the living room and then Kris went back to her trailer.
Right when she sat down on her bed she heard a knock at the door.
She got up and answered the door and found Junior standing there with flowers.
She smiled and let him in.
"How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good."
He walked over to her a planted a kiss on her lips.
