Sorry, this took so long, I have way to many test recently.

Chapter 22- Going Home

Jordan's POV 3 days later

Woody just walked into the room. "Hey, they're letting me outa here today!" He didn't look as excited as I thought he should for me to come home. "Wood, what's wrong?" I said grabbing at his hand and squeezed it, he at least squeezed back, I pulled him towards me. "Hey, what's up?" If he wouldn't answer me I was going to force it out of him.

"I'm fine Jordan."

"No, your not, now for the last time, what is gong on?" His blue eyes looked scared.

"It's just, well the last time I took you home I had to bring you back, I don't ever want to do that again, the thought of losing you kills me."

"Hey, I'm fine, they wouldn't let me leave if I wasn't."

"They did before."

"Woody, I can't take this, I need your support, now its gonna get hard, this has to be a joint effort, look at you, your dead tired, you can't keep taking care of them on your own. Not to mention I refuse to get married in a hospital bed, so I'm going home whether you like it of not. Don't you miss me? I've barely been able to sleep without you, it's driving me nuts. I just want to be held and you can't do that here, and I want to hold you and that can't happen here either, so get over yourself and your worries and TAKE ME HOME, NOW!"I think I got my point across because he quickly scrambled to put me stuff together. That's my Woody, "OH watch out!" I said a little too late, my bag went flying as did Woody. The bag hit the window, Wooding fell on top on the bed, I didn't mind at all. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath, he looked up at me sadly until his frown broke into a smile and he was laughing with me. "Nice to see ya smile again. I was starting to wonder if that would ever happen again." He tried to get up off the bed, I grabbed at his shirt and latched on, he wasn't going anywhere.

"Jordan, we need to get you ready to go."

"I think we have a few minutes." I smiled a little coyly at him and pulled him towards me and planted my lips on his. The kiss deepened as he wrapped his arms around me and I played with his hair, he started to pull back, "What's wrong?"

"Jordan your still sitting I a hospital bed and you are teasing me, because you know we can't go there yet."I was looking at him with puppy dog eyes. "No Jordan, no, no, not right now, we can't. You can't."

"I feel fine."

"But you may not later, I don't want to hurt you." So that was it, he was afraid he was going to hurt me.

"You know this isn't your fault, don't you?" he sadly shook his head. "Oh, Woody, you didn't put me here, there was nothing you could do, you're the one who brought me back, as cliche' as that sounds, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and I'm not just talking about this ordeal, I'm talking about everything. You got me here, with our kids, with us. I love you and I know I gave you hard time, you know trust is a big issue with me, but you managed to earn it, twice, that's never happened before. Once someone loses it, it's gone, you changed that. We are going to be fine." He smiled, still a little uncomfortable, but he rested into my arms. Hey look at this, I'm growing up, for once I'm comforting him, not the other way around. We were equal, he wasn't him helping me all the time, now we were helping each other. "Hon, I love this, but I really want out of here, I want to go home and be with our kids." He laughed and sat up.

"Okay." He retrieved my fallen bag off of the floor and quickly threw and of my stuff back in and zipped it up. "Ready to go, I'll go get the doc and we'll get you signed out." He reached over and gave me a quick peck on the lips and walked out the door. This is good, I'm going home and we're going to be a family. He returned about 5 minutes later with a wheelchair.

"I can walk you know."

"Jordan, you know the rules, now get in."

"Help." I said as innocently as I could. He walked over and I grabbed his arm and stood up, he gave me a quick hug and then led me to the chair, this was one fight I decided wasn't worth it and he wheeled me out. "I'm never coming back here!" the nurse sat with me while Woody went and got the car, there was someone else in the car with him, not that is not right, he pulled up and climbed out. "Who is in our car?"

"Oh that," he said pointing and the figure in the back, "that's your dad, we thought you might want to see the kids so he was out here waiting with them. I practically jumped out of the car and threw the back door open to see my dad sitting between his two grandkids.

"Sorry dad, but you are taking the front, I want to sit back here with my kids." dad climbed out and I quickly took his place, Woody was standing behind me, must have thought I was going to fall or something. "Hey guys," I touched their tiny hands and both wrapped their hands around my fingers, their eyes were closed, they looked so peaceful, like they had no clue what had happened the last few days. I smiled at them, they looked so peaceful, I hoped this is how they normally were. That's what upset me, I didn't know what was normal for them, they were my kids and I felt like I barely knew them. I could tell Woody was doing great with them. He could do it without me, he didn't need me, I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. We dropped dad off and before I knew it we were home and the tears were now drenching my cheeks. Woody opened the back do to grab the kids.

"Hey, Jo, what's wrong?" he said wiping the tears off of my face.

"You don't need me, you can do it without me." he laughed, why did he laugh, I'm crying and he's laughing at me. "Why are you laughing at me."

"Jordan, I have no clue what I'm doing, your dad has been here 24/7 and Renee and Garret have been here all the time helping out, trust me, I need you more than you'll ever know." He grabbed the car seats and I climbed out. We made our way to the elevator, no more stairs for us, it was just too much work with all of this. We got the apartment and he set the kids down and unlocked the door, I went in first followed by Woody with Em and Jack and set them down next to the couch. They started to fuss. "Jo, I think they are hungry?" he said, trying not to sound like he knew too much, this time I smiled and picked up Em, he grabbed Jack and set him on top. Now this I had missed, yes I actually missed the pain of having my chest tugged at and yanked in every direction by two kids with very strong jaws, I guess it's the little thing you miss the most huh. Woody sat net to me with his arm around me playing with my hair that I'm sure was a mess. I finished feeding them and they quickly fell asleep.

"Do they do that all the time."

"What?"

"Fall asleep right after they eat."

"Pretty much, it's kinda nice."

"You know them so well."

"Jordan, it's only been a couple of hours, give yourself some time, I've had a t least a few days and all I know is eating and sleeping habits. Not much else." he kissed the top of my head.

"Wood, I'm tired can we please go to sleep."

"Under one condition."

"And what is that?"

"We set a date.

"For what?" I asked innocently.

"The wedding."

"Fine, how about a week from tomorrow?"

"That's pretty quick, are you sure."

"Yes, I think we've waited long enough and I really just want a small wedding and I think we could do that pretty quick."

"Alright, it's settled then. We can work on details tomorrow, I'm tired too."

"Well then come on." I said grabbing his hand and heading into the bedroom. I slipped into some comfy clothes and he put a t-shirt on with his boxers and we curled up next to each other on the bed. Nothing happened, it could for at least a little while longer, probably not till after the wedding, but that was okay with me, I just wanted to be close to him. "Good night." said and I reached up and gave him a quick kiss before resting my head on his chest and falling to sleep.
