Jack was awake his morphine was given to him about 7:30 so he was feeling pretty good right about now. Chase on the other hand had another half hour in front of him without the morphine he felt like crap.
"Ah, your up Chase." Jack said in a nice cool voice.
"Keep it up Jack, I will get out of this bed to hit you don't doubt that." Chase barked to Jack.
"Yea okay." Jack rolled his eyes.
The nurse came in about 5 minutes before 8 to take vitals and give Chase his morphine at 8:05. Chase was staring at the nurse just waiting for her to put that needle of pain killer in his IV drip.
"Just a few more minutes Mr. Edmunds." The nurse said putting down Chase's chart and walked over to prepare the needle of morphine.
Kim and Tony were making their way down the hall that would take her to see her father and fiance. When she just stopped. Tony stopped to see why she had.
"What's wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice.
"I want to see them don't get me wrong, I just don't want to get in there and breakdown before them, I just need a minute you go ahead." She said to Tony.
"Okay. Take all the time you need Kim. I wont tell them your here incase you decide not to come in the room." He said to her just a few feet from their room.
She nodded then sat on one of the chairs in the waiting room trying to get herself together before she went in.
"Morning Fellas." Tony said walking into their room.
"Hey, Tony. What are you doing here?" Jack asked.
"How's Kim?" Was the first thing Chase said after he was given his morphine.
"Shes okay, better then we expected." Tony said taking a seat between the beds.
"I will be at the nurses station if you need anything." The nurse said leaving the room.
"Hell of a day you guys had, huh. They didn't tell you what they found in those cases did they?" Tony asked looking at Jack.
"No, I got Chase out of the water then I guess I passed out. They brought me here and into surgery and haven't told me anything. Chase either." Jack said fixing the bed so he was in a more upright position.
The door opened to reveal Kim shaken and clearly had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy she was sniffling when she went into the room.
"Oh I forgot to mention that I brought Kim." Tony said.
Chase perked up and fixed his bed also in an upright position.
"Daddy.." She got out her voice shaking.
"Come here." Jack said holding out his good arm for a hug. She hugged him but not the normal hug she was afraid of hurting him even more then he was.
She then turned her attention to Chase. Her eyes filling with tears at the sight of the man she loved in such obvious pain.
"Honey." He said smiling his face was bruised from the beating he had taken
"Oh Chase.." The tears fell from her eyes. She went over to him and held his face in her hands and kissed his forehead.
"I'm sorry." He was able to get out before tears flowed out of his eyes.
"I know believe me I know." She said holding his hand, she was now sitting on the edge of his bed. "Honey, I called district about my being transferred. I turned it down. I can't leave you or my dad."
"Kim you didn't have to do that I would have gone with you, I know that you were looking forward to it." Chase said to her.
"Yea but I'm looking forward to staying with you in my dad in LA." She said smiling though the tears.
Jack and Tony just smiled at them.
"Harris is coming at 10 to do the debriefing unless I want to do it. If I do I have to go in to CTU and get the video camera and information on it." Tony said to Jack
"Its up to you, I mean you would have to do more work then you have to." Jack said looking over to see his daughter and future son in law just lost in conversation.
"I'm so happy Kim is happy. That was my only goal in life for the past few years to keep her safe and happy." He said smiling.
"You did a great job Jack. She is a terrific person." Tony said. "I told Michelle I would call her after I spoke to you so give me a minute."
"Kim?" Jack called out.
Kim's head suddenly turned not out of anger but out of worry for her father. "Yea daddy?"
"Chases is sleeping you know that don't you?" He said
"Yea, he looks so peaceful." She said walking over to her dad.
She kissed Jack on the cheek and sat on his bed. Jack put his hand on her stomach and asked "What are you hoping for?"
"Personally, I want a son, Chase wants a little girl though. Guess we will find out who gets what they want in 3 months huh." She said smiling.
"Yea, I would love a little grandson. Lots of fun stories you know." Jack said laughing.
"Very funny. Har har har." She responded in a sarcastic voice.
"Ah, your up Chase." Jack said in a nice cool voice.
"Keep it up Jack, I will get out of this bed to hit you don't doubt that." Chase barked to Jack.
