Shawn went back to the apartment to get his things. He left for the bus station at 1:00 and by 1:30 was on his way to reconciliation. The three-hour ride felt as if it would last an eternity. When the bus reached New York Shawn questioned where to go first. After standing at the bus station with his bag over his shoulder, he decided to go drop his tuff off at the apartment due to the soreness of his arm.

When he walked into the apartment he was surprised to find Cory there.

"I was just answering your phone!" Cory said quickly.

Shawn smiled seeing Cory's nervousness. "It's okay. I did enough yelling yesterday to last me until Christmas."

"What made you come back?"

"Feeny,"

"So, who was that on the phone?"

Cory looked at him straight in the eye. "Turner."

Shawn let out the breath that he hadn't realized he had been wearing. He pulled his leather jacket off and threw it on the couch. "I really screwed up."

"We all make mistakes," Cory said kindly.

Shawn smiled, "not like the ones I've made. I'm the king of 'em all."

"Yeah, well, you're also the best at fixing them."

Shawn realized his hint. "I'm going," Shawn said as he picked up his jacket. "Cor, you do realize that I'm sorry."

Cory nodded his head.

Shawn took a cab over to the hospital and followed that red strip around corners and through halls until he reach 348. The door was closed and he could he muffled voices speaking inside.

"John, it's possible that this is the last one!" a voice said. Shawn recognized it as Ms. Tompkins.

"I realize that it's possible but do you realize the chances of it not. Just, don't get your hopes up."

Shawn sat down in one of the chairs outside the room. He tried hard not to pay attention to the conversation going on.

The door opened as Ms. Tompkins walked out. She turned toward Jonathan and said, "just think positive." She turned to see Shawn as he stood up out of the chair. "You have a visitor." She turned and walked down the hall toward the elevator, but not before smiling at Shawn.

Shawn turned to the room. He took a long, deep breath before entering.

As he stepped into the room slowly Turner looked up curiously as to whom his fiancé would refer to as a 'visitor'. Shawn let go of the breath that he hadn't realized he was holding.

"Hi," Shawn said quietly.

"Hey."

The two stood there (well…technically Jonathan was sitting/lying) looking at each other. Neither of them spoke for several minutes.

"This is the textbook definition of an awkward moment," Shawn said hoping to lighten the mood.

The silence continued until Shawn suddenly began to laugh. Jonathan looked at him questioningly. "Look at us. Four years ago if anyone would have told me that this is where I would be I would have said they were crazy. Four years ago we were the best of friends, and now? Estranged…well, there isn't exactly a word for the relationship we have. I just find that…funny!"

Turner sat there without saying anything. The only sound coming from him was his quiet breathing. Suddenly he said, "you right, I would have called them crazy."

Shawn looked up surprised.

"Look, Shawn, I sorry. I didn't mean to say those things. Words were never my strong suit."

"An English teacher who has trouble with words…that sounds like the Jonathan Turner I know."

The two smiled at each other in a comfortable way.

"So, you gonna explain this?" Shawn said pointing to Turner. "This isn't your first time in here is it?"

Jonathan shook his head.

"How many?"

"Five? Six? Enough to loose count."

"Any of 'em work?"

Turner shook his head.

Shawn stayed and talked with Jonathan for the next four hours about everything. He was able to sneak around visiting hours and spent the night there. Shawn was there when Jonathan was let out of the hospital. He was there when Jonathan had his first try at a wheelchair, he was there when Jonathan got his crutches, and he was there when the cast was removed. Shawn was there when the cane was given a try, and most importantly, he was there the day that Jonathan was able to take his first steps without any help in almost four years.

Hope you liked it! I still have a 'lil bit more to come…
