Kim's eyes grew wide as she listened to what he said, getting slightly
irritated that he was pushing the subject.
"Don't even think about signing out AMA." She began to say.
"The only way I won't is if you do as I said and go home and rest. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, so there is nothing to worry about." He replied, cutting her off.
She drew in a sharp breath and reluctantly said, "Fine, but I'm coming back tonight."
He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered silently, "Dé gracias a dios que ella escuchó finalmente.", when he heard her agree to going home to get some rest.
"Let my mom watch the kids again for you, I'm sure she'd love to have them over again." He said as Keira sat cooing on his chest.
To tired to argue with him, she agreed and went out to talk to his mother about watching the kids. His mother looked up, seeing Kim heading in her direction and put the magazine down she was reading, realizing her son must have gotten through to her.
"Do you need me to watch the kids for you?" she asked softly.
"If you wouldn't mind to." She replied, glancing at the clock on the wall.
"I'd love to have them over again. Do I want to know what he said to finally convince you to get some rest?" his mother asked.
"You'd be ready to wring his neck if I told you." she replied, managing a small smile before heading back to go get Joey and Keira. Both Joey and Bobby were gently tickling Keira causing her to smile and coo even louder which made Kim laugh when she walked in the room.
"Poor thing! Being attacked by all these mean men, come here baby," Kim said sympathetically scooping Keira up from the attacking fingers of Joey and Bobby.
"We aren't mean mom!" Joey said laughing.
"I know sweetie, I was just messing with you two." She said smiling, seeing the look Bobby shot her.
"Is my mom going to watch these two heathens while you go home and get some rest?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah." She replied smiling, seeing the look Joey shot Bobby when he called him a heathen.
"I'm not a heathen!" Joey said, defending himself.
"Then what are you?" Bobby asked smirking.
"Uh, I dunno." Joey replied grinning.
"Well you're a heathen till you find out what you are." Bobby said laughing, tickling Joey.
"Ok, you two break it up." Kim said giggling as Keira began to fidget in her arms.
"Aww come on mom he started it!" Joey said laughing when Bobby stopped tickling him.
"No, he started it," Bobby replied smirking at the look Kim shot him.
"What am I the referee here?" Kim asked laughing.
"Yeah mom, you are." Bobby said jokingly.
Kim shot a look of surprise at Bobby and said with mock sternness, "Entonces usted mejor no sería un chico malo ni usted será castigado."
Bobby began to laugh, blushing at what she said and replied, "¿Qué es el castigo si yo no paro miel?"
Kim quirked an eyebrow at him and said teasingly, "¿Quiere realmente usted saber?"
Joey sat looking at them with a totally lost look on his face and said, "What did you two just say?"
"I'll tell you later bud. That ok?" Bobby said, seeing the look of embarrassment cross Kim's face.
"Usted dice él que usted está en el señor de la casa de perro." Kim said in his ear.
Joey gave his mom a weird look and said to Bobby, "That's cool."
"I'll see you later tonight." Kim said, gently kissing him goodbye.
"El dulce sueña a novio. Véalo cuando usted vuelve." He whispered back, gently kissing her again before she left.
Before she left, she smiled over her shoulder at him and headed out to where his mother was carrying Keira and Joey following close beside her. After his mother left, she got back into his car and headed home for some much-needed sleep. When she pulled up she locked the doors to the car and headed towards the complex. She never noticed the black car that had followed her from the hospital all the way to her complex that was parked right behind her, but due to the darkly tinted windows couldn't see who was in the vehicle. Craig sat in his car, watching her as she made her way up the stairs in front of the building, heading towards her apartment. An evil laugh escaped his mouth as he thought of the plans he had in store for her and eventually drove off.
As she walked into their apartment, she locked the doors behind her and headed to change. Not to long after she lay down she was sound asleep, exhausted from the events of the night before, but relieved that Bobby had woken up. She slept on peacefully, not knowing that Craig had followed her all the way from the hospital to her home. As darkness fell upon the city she was awakened when the sounds of sirens went screaming past her complex, waking her up suddenly. She looked over at the alarm clock and got up, having slept for about ten hours she felt much better and headed off for a quick shower and something to eat. She fixed a bagel and a cup of coffee while her hair air dried a bit and ate something before she went back to blow dry her hair.
She stopped by the station to update everyone on how Bobby was doing and let Doc know she'd be back to work in a couple of days. Sure enough everyone was worried about Bobby but was relieved to hear he'd woken up, everyone but Craig that is. After spending some time at the station she headed back to the hospital to be with him. When she arrived he was asleep, and she took a seat in the chair next to his bed, watching him sleep peacefully. Fifteen minutes after she'd arrived he woke up, finding her sitting by the bed.
"You look much better than you did earlier," he commented, remembering how she'd looked earlier in the day.
"Isn't it amazing what a little sleep can do to a person," she replied laughing; "Any idea when you can come home?"
"Depending on how things go, it looks like maybe in a couple of days." He responded; "How's everyone down at the station doing?"
"Worried about how you are doing mostly. Things seemed pretty slow when I stopped by before I came in," she replied, sighing softly.
"Everyone but Craig right?" he asked, seeing her actions change slightly at the mention of his name.
"Yeah. I swear I wish I knew what his problem is." She said, feeling anger building at the mention of Craig's name.
"Don't let him get to you," Bobby said quietly, motioning for her to sit beside him.
She made her way over and sat down beside him when he put his arm around her and said, "He's not worth the trouble of getting all worked up over. Regardless of what we do he isn't going to change. He's too pigheaded for that."
Kim sighed softly and looked over at him and replied in a whisper, "I know. I'd just like to know what his deal is."
"I'm right there with you on that one," Bobby replied, tenderly kissing her on the forehead.
They sat and talked for ten minutes about all kinds of stuff, mostly Keira though until they heard a knock at the door and saw Alex, Jimmy, Doc and Carlos standing there. The four came in and stood around the bed talking until Bobby brought up Craig.
"What's the latest with the newbie?" he asked Doc.
"His ass is in deep shit because he took off in the middle of a shift and we haven't seen him since." Doc replied bitterly.
"Do you need me to fill in for the remainder of his shift?" Kim asked.
"If you feel up to it, I'd really appreciate it." Doc replied.
Kim looked over at Bobby when he began to say, "Go. I'll be fine, they need you."
She placed a gentle kiss on his lips and stood up, grabbing her purse and following her four colleagues out of the room, glancing over her shoulder at him as she left. When she got out to the parking lot, Jimmy followed her and said, "I'm coming with you since we don't know where the creep is.", heading around to the passenger side of the car. They drove to back to her place so she could get her stuff for work and quickly headed to the station. As they drove back to the station, Jimmy noticed a black car following them but didn't pay much attention to it. When they arrived she rushed upstairs and changed, putting her bag in her locker and grabbed her stethoscope, which hung on a hook and closed the door. As she headed downstairs she pulled her hair back and saw Alex waiting on her.
"Am I with you?" she asked.
"Yep," Alex replied as they climbed into the ambulance.
"When did Craig disappear?" Kim asked curiously.
"After we returned from a call around five." Alex replied; "He was supposed to pull a double with me tonight, but I guess that's off now."
"I'll pull the double with you tonight, if you still want to do it." Kim said, looking over at her partner.
"Are you sure you feel up to it?" Alex asked.
"I'm fine. I had ten hours of sleep before I went to see Bobby again so I'm in good shape." She replied as a call came through.
They arrived shortly at a convenience store that had been robbed. There were at least four victims, who had been shot by the robbers when they had come through the door. Alex radioed for additional ambulances while Kim began to triage the wounded. Two of the four were critical, with multiple gunshots to the chest, the other two had minor wounds from a ricocheting bullet. Several minutes later Doc and Carlos arrived and took over the second critical patient from Alex so she could go help Kim. Two more ambulances arrived and began working on the two with minor wounds when Kim and Alex got their patient stabilized and got him loaded in the bus.
Alex rushed to the front and drove, while Kim monitored the mans condition in the back and phoned the ER to let them know what they were bringing in. A block before the arrived at the hospital the mans blood pressure began dropping. When they arrived and started unloading him he went into cardiac arrest; they worked on getting him back as they raced into the ER, heading into the first trauma suite. Once the man was stabilized again, they transferred him off the gurney and headed back out of the room and let the doctors take over.
They went and cleaned up and worked on finishing the run sheet and cleaning up the back of the bus. Doc and Carlos arrived a short time later with the other critical patient as well as the other two containing the victims with minor gunshot wounds. After having cleaned up their bus, Kim said to Alex, "I'm gonna go check on Bobby real quick before we leave."
"You'd better not go AWOL on me," Alex said jokingly.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Kim replied laughing, turning to head back into the hospital.
She passed Doc and Carlos coming out and said, "I'm running Craig's double with Alex tonight, just to let you know."
"Do you feel up to it?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Do you need me to come in tomorrow incase Craig doesn't show?" she asked.
"That would be great. I really appreciate you helping out on such short notice." Doc replied smiling.
"Anytime," Kim replied, making her way towards the elevators.
After a brief elevator ride to the floor Bobby was on she headed towards his room. When she walked in he smiled up at her and asked, "What did you all bring in?"
"Crashing GSW from a robbery." She replied, sitting next to him.
"Those are always fun to deal with," he responded, chuckling slightly.
"Oh you know it," She replied smiling; "I thought I'd let you know I'm pulling Craig's double with Alex tonight."
"No rest for the wicked eh?" he asked laughing.
"As always," she replied giggling.
Just then Alex radioed to her that they had a call and she stood up and kissed him goodbye before heading out to the stairwell.
"Be careful out there," he called to her as she was leaving.
"I will. You focus on getting out of here so you can come home," she replied winking back at him and headed for the stairs.
He watched her leave and wished he were back at work. He didn't particularly care about being stuck in a hospital except for the fact that he had nothing to do. Now he had an idea of how Kim had felt after Matty had beaten her. Granted she wasn't in the hospital but the way he helped her do everything was pretty much the same thing. He'd rather be working and be home taking care of Keira, Kim and Joey instead of being here.
