When at last they both finished crying Hawkeye sat down at the end of a cot.
"How long was I asleep for?"
"Almost two days," Trapper replied.
"I woke up last night," Sara explained, "We decided to let you sleep..."
Hawkeye grinned, part of him was thankful that they let him sleep, even if he did have nightmares to go with it.
That night when Sara was allowed to return to her cot in the Swamp, everything seemed like she had never left. Henry secretly told everyone to not throw her a coming-home-party because she was still weak and any excitement could cause her to easily relapse, Henry was even against letting her go back to the Swamp but Hawkeye convinced him that there would be no partying while Sara was still recovering.
After a long dinner Sara and Hawkeye headed back to the Swamp, neither of them said much, it was an odd situation. It was over half an hour before Hawkeye and Sara stopped crying, they were both so happy, words couldn't describe how they felt.
Sara entered the Swamp and sighed happily, she walked to her bunk and flopped down on her cot.
"Glad to be back?" Hawkeye asked.
Sara grinned, "Haven't been this glad in a long time." She replied, "It may be cold and damp but it's the closest thing I've got to home." She sighed and looked around, There was so much she had to still tell him, but not now... Now wasn't the time, "I see you haven't bothered to clean up while I was gone." Sara said smirking slightly.
"I'm not allowed to clean up, my doctor won't let me."
"You are a doctor..."
"And I won't let me clean up."
Sara rolled her eyes and tried not to laugh, it was good to be home.
Trapper came back to the Swamp an hour later, Hawkeye was asleep on his cot, Sara was up reading a book under the pale light.
"Hey, you need to get some sleep." Trapper said to her as he lay down on his cot, "Your wounds as still fresh."
"I know, but it's kind of hard to sleep," Sara replied, "Last time I tried to I was kidnapped."
Trapper didn't know if he should laugh or cry, she said it like it was nothing.
"You sure you want to stay here?" Trapper asked, "You can always go back to Crabapple Cove now..."
"No thanks, I'd rather stay here."
"Your insane."
"So I've been told."
Trapper could only sigh, she had taken after Hawkeye, stubborn.
"It's great to have you back Sara."
"Thanks Trapper."
