Tommy held Kimberly hand as he watched her sleep. It was getting late and she still hasn't woken up. Krystal came in and changed out Kim's IV for the third time since she had been admitted.

"Mom, how is she?" Tommy asked.

"Her vitals are improving at a very slow rate. We just have to keep her hydrated and hope that it will help her to wake up." Krystal answered.

Tommy nodded as Kira came in the room. Krystal left the room to let her son and his daughter talk.

"Dad, has Mom woken up yet?"

"Not yet, where are the babies?" Tommy replied.

"They are with the boys at home. I just thought I would check up on her."

"Does 'the boys' include Conner?"

"Yeah, he came home after the movie. Is there anything I can help you with? Get you something to eat?"

"No, I'm fine."

"What about for the class, I could grade the test papers." Kira offered.

"Thanks but no thanks. Trini is grading the test papers. She and Jason have been by constantly checking up on us. Why don't you go home, back to your daughter. I am going to sleep here tonight."

"Alright, goodnight Dad. Night Mom, wake up soon." Kira said before she left the room.

Later that evening

"Come on Tommy, you should go home." Krystal said.

"I can't mom; I can't leave her here like this."

"Thomas, you are exhausted. You have been sitting by her bedside for hours. Go home, get some rest. I will call you if she wakes up."

"Mom, I uh"

"She is going to need you awake and alert not exhausted."

Tommy hated the idea of leaving her, but his mother was right. So he just nodded.

"Come on Beautiful, you have to wake up. I know you are tired, but I need you to wake up." Tommy begged putting his head down on his unconscious wife's body.

"Tommy"

Tommy lifted his head when he heard her voice, the most beautiful sound in the world; her voice saying his name. He smiled.

"Where am I?"

"In the hospital Beautiful."

Kimberly was shocked; she had enough of this place while she was pregnant and immediately after. "I told you that I was fine, so why am I here?"

"Kimberly you fell asleep in my arms-"

Kim looked at the clock, it read 8:50. "Tommy, I have only been asleep for almost three hours. So why did you bring me here."

"Kimberly, you haven't been asleep for almost 3 hours as you put it. You have been asleep for 27 hours and you were also extremely dehydrated when you were admitted." Tommy replied.

Kimberly was shocked and just wanted to cry, but was too stubborn to let them show. However, the idea of sleeping away a whole day was just too much to take. She couldn't stop them from flowing. Tommy saw the tears streaming down her face.

"Oh Beautiful, don't cry." Tommy said as he climbed into bed with her putting his arm around her.

"It is Monday right? You had school and the test. You did go to school today right?" Kim asked as she brushed the tears from her eyes.

"Yes to all of the above. Trini is grading the test papers for me. Everyone has been so worried about you."

"Tommy, I want to go home."

"I know Beautiful, but you have to wait to be released. How are you feeling?"

"I'm tired. I know I slept for 27 hours, but I am still tired. Why is that?" Kim asked all confused.

Before Tommy could answer Krystal came in to check on Kimberly and was happy to see her daughter-in-law awake.

"Hi Kimberly, how are you feeling? She asked.

Kim looked up at her and smiled. "I'm a little tired, but other than that, I'm alright. What happened to me?"

"Your body is having a hard time recovering from having Crystal. You just need a little more time to recover and then you will be okay. I'm sure of it." Krystal answered.

"Do I have to do it here? I just really want to go home."

"I would prefer if you stayed a day or two more, but you don't have to. As long as you get plenty of rest and eat when you are awake; we can release you tonight."

"I promise I will do all that. So can I go home?" Kimberly begged.

"Yes, I will go start your release."

Tommy opens the door of his house with his wife on his arm. He is met by his friends and the teens.

"Kimmy-cub, your home. You had us all so worried." Jason said excitedly pulling his little sister into a hug.

"I'm fine Jase and I'm happy to be home. I'm going to get some cereal and go to bed."

"Mom, I am so happy to see you." Kira said hugging her after she left Jason's arms.

Kimberly than got a hug from everyone before they would even let her go to the kitchen.

"You guys are acting as if I had been away for a month or longer. You just saw me yesterday. Conner, I know you had a test this morning. I also know you have homework, is it done?"

"Yes mom, I did the homework and as for the test. I don't know yet." Conner answered her rolling his eyes. She is the one that had been unconscious for the last 27 hours and she is still riding his case.

"I'm going to eat and go to bed now. Tommy you be sure to wake me up tomorrow before you leave for school. I am not going to spend another day sleeping it away." Kim told them as she walked into the kitchen to get her cereal.

Tommy followed her into the kitchen to get some cereal for himself since that is what she is having. Kim watches him and the way he moves. She knows that there is something he is not telling her. They eat their cereal in quiet. Finally Kim speaks up.

"Tommy, why don't you just tell me whatever it is that you are not telling me?"

Tommy looks at her and doesn't know how to tell her. "Not now, not tonight. Tomorrow, I will tell you. For now let's just go to bed."

Tommy picks her up and carries her upstairs.

"Tommy, I am perfectly capable of walking."

"I know." He replies as he lays her on the bed. She falls asleep instantly, he just watches her.
