Chapter Twenty-Nine

Twenty minutes later…

Charlie and Larry happily reunited with Amita Alan by the maternity ward to check on Robin and Millie. They happy to see that the place was getting more to normal and that they can now just wait for Don and Megan's progress.

However, it wasn't all good news, as the gunmen trying to accomplish their mission killed several people that got in their way. Several patients also died waiting for the doctor to come but several critical patients died without proper care.

'It is just sad that people can just be that cruel,' Charlie thought, though then again, it was something he witnessed quite a bit since he started doing his consulting work for the FBI and the other agencies.

Despite this, Charlie was just grateful that one of the hardest parts of this was now over and they can now focus on Don and Megan recovering. The doctors mentioned that they are still in critical condition but they are stable right now, much to everyone's relief and joy.

Robin is back resting after the crazy day in the maternity ward, with young Billy resting in the room with her. The adult Cooper got a kick that they named the baby after him but was also touched with the kind gesture.

Alan was exhausted after the whole experience and decided to go take a nap in the waiting room.

"I am joining you." Nikki said, herself just really tired

"I will join you later," Larry said, "I will check on Megan, first."

"Same for me with Don," Charlie said

Outside Don's unit…

Charlie looked at his still brother and listened to the noises keeping him alive, and tried not to think too much of what had happened today.

"Hey, bro," Charlie started before he looked at Don's condition before continuing

"Let's just say a lot happened today and you would not believe at least half of it, if I am being honest. Just so you know, you need to wake up, as Robin has given birth to a son, Billy Charles-Alan Brooks-Eppes, and both of them are going to need you, so please get better."

Charlie found tears welling up in his eyes, and he didn't bother wiping them for a couple minutes before going to join Alan and Nikki in the waiting area.

'Just get better Don,' Charlie thought to himself as he left

Outside Megan's unit…

Larry felt immense relief that Megan was still alive, even if there wasn't too much change in condition, but it was enough.

"My dear Megan, it seems that the cosmos has allowed for us to still be together, even if they put us through a lot." Larry said as he observed her still form.

He took another look at the ring that he had been planning, and still is, to propose to her with. Larry is just really anxious for her to wake up and then he can get through the next part.

'You are safe now, Megan, now is the time to heal.' Larry thought to himself
