Spoilers: Nope, I don't think so.

now and you'd be seeing this story on TV. :)

"Hey there, Sleepy Head. Glad to see you've finally decided to join us." I said as her eyes
fluttered open.

"Jing Mei?" She asked. "What are you doing here? What…what am I doing here?
What—what are all these tubes? What happened?" She asked, a frantic look on her face.

"Abby, it's okay. It's okay…you're in the hospital…you passed out on our way back
from the walk, remember?"

"Passed out? Why? What do I have?" She asked and grabbed the chart from the bed.

"It's seems you have a syndrome called Fibromyalgia. Do you know what that is?" I
asked, knowing that it was not a pronounced syndrome and not many people including
doctors knew about it.

"Fibromyalgia? Oh god…I knew that I'd not been feeling all that well, but I didn't know
it was anything too serious." She said.

"We're going to keep you overnight for observation and I'm going to get you a
prescription for Paxil, ok? You need to get you're rest so I'll be back later." I said and
started to get up from the chair.

Her hand shot out and caught mine, stopping me from moving. "Will you stay, please?"
She asked almost in a children's voice.

I smiled brightly. She was so cute! "Of course I will, but you need to get some sleep so
close your eyes and I'll be right here…"

"Thank you…" She said smiling as she closed her eyes and almost immediately fell
asleep.

A few hours later Carter appeared in the room. "Hey, how's she doing?" He asked, sitting
down next to me.

"She's doing okay…she's been sleeping for a while." I said watching the monitors.

"Well, you should get some sleep or at least get something to eat…I can stay with her."
He said.

I shook my head lightly. "No…no. It's okay, I want to stay with her." I said.

"Dave Malucci's been looking for you, he wants to know if you'd like to go to dinner."

I laughed slightly. "Fuck Malucci." I said under my breath.

"I think that's what he'd like you to do." He smiled.

"Very funny, Carter. Don't you have work to do?" I asked pretending to be annoyed.

"No actually, I got off an hour ago. Can't a guy come see how his two friends are doing?"

"We're both doing fine, Carter. You need to go home and get some rest too…you've
been on all night." I said.

"Yes, Mommy." He chuckled. "Take care of yourself, ok? When she wakes up tell her I
said hello." He gave my arm a reassuring squeeze and left the room.
