Jill had spent another night watching Tim and praying. There was one improvement, he was removed from his breathing machine and now breathing on his own with just a small amount of supplemental oxygen. That was very encouraging news. Again Jill had fallen asleep in her chair.

Tim was unaware of where he was all he knew was that he was having a hard time moving and couldn't open his eyes. He could hear Jill's voice talking to him and praying for him to pull through. He remembered the accident and what he was thinking about before it happened and then he was back to that night in Chicago, the night that ruined the last two months of his life. He sees himself eating and drinking, talking and flirting with Kelly. Then he was walking her to her room and then kissing her, why had he not pulled away. Then they were in her room and he said, "I love you so much Jill." He laid her down on the bed and then nothing until the next morning and he was waking up without his clothes on. Tim's eyes shot open and he had finally remembered what had happened.

Jill was sleeping in the chair next to his bed and he didn't want to wake her. He had woken up just a short time ago and was watching his beautiful wife sleeping. He had remembered everything that happened that awful night in Chicago. Jill started to stir and opened her eyes. Tim says, "So I have to almost get killed for you to spend the night with me." Jill was so shocked and relieved that he was awake that she started hugging and kissing him all over. Tim was grimacing from the pain of his injuries but he wasn't about to stop this outpouring of affection from his wife. Tim picked up his arms and put them around Jill and pulled her in for a tight hug, inhaling her scent, he released her and their faces were inches from each other. Tim then pulled her in for a kiss and Jill responded passionately thinking this is exactly where she wanted to be. Kissing her husband with his arms wrapped around her. The nurse came in the room and clears her throat and says, "I see the patient has awaken." Tim and Jill break apart and Jill shyly smiles seeing they were caught. The nurse says, "I was just checking on his increased heart rate but I think I know what was causing that. How are you feeling Mr. Taylor?" Tim looks at Jill and she smiles while he says, "All is right in the world today."

After the doctor came in and examined Tim he was sent from ICU to the regular floor. The boys had been in to visit as well as Wilson and Al. Then it was just Jill and Tim alone again in the room, Tim noticed how drained Jill looked and told her "I think you should go home and get some rest." She looks at him concerned and says, "I don't want to leave you alone." Tim says, "I won't b alone I have a whole flock of nurses at my beckon call." Jill smiles at this and says, "It would be nice to go home, have a shower and change." Tim then says, "You should sleep in our bed tonight as well." Jill looks devilishly at him and says, "Are you trying to get rid of me." Tim says "No, not a chance. Trust me if this bed would hold two I would demand you spend the night and comfort me." Jill says, "This feels good to be able to joke with you. It's been so long. You know this accident has really taught me what is important in life. I love you Tim and I want us to get through this mess." Tim looks seriously at her and says, "It may not be as much of a mess as you think." Confused Jill says, "What are you talking about?" Yawning Tim says, "I'm tired let's talk about this tomorrow. You really should go and get some rest." Jill says, "Ok but I will be back first thing in the morning. I love you Tim" Tim says, "I have waited a long time for you to say that to me again. I love you too Jill." Jill gives him a kiss and leaves. On her way out Jill runs into Kelly. She is on her way to see Tim, Jill confronts her in the hallway and asks "Don't you ever give up? My husband just had major surgery and here you are trying to agitate him." Kelly looks smugly at her and says, "Tim called and asked to see me." Jill is speechless and Kelly steps around her and walks into Tim's room.

The door to his room opens and Tim is not surprised when Kelly walks into the room. He had called her to come when Jill was walking the boys and Wilson out. He was surprised though by the sight of his wife coming into the room behind her and with a full head of steam. Tim says, "Jill I thought you were going home." Jill looks at him and says, "Is this the reason you were pushing me to go home. I don't understand what is going on. Why would you ask her to come here and see you?" Kelly says, "Come on Jill don't you see what is happening? Your husband asked me to come here because he wants to do right by our baby." Tim says, "Well actually I called you to come here because while I was in my coma I was finally able to remember the whole night." Jill and Kelly look at Tim surprised and both say, "You remembered what happened?" Tim says, "Yes I do. It really comes out to be quite a boring story. After dinner and drinking I walked Kelly up to her room and we did kiss. When we went inside I remember saying I love you so much Jill and then lying down on the bed and that was it. I fell asleep or passed out is more like it. Then the next morning I woke up in your bed and thought the worst thing in the world had happened. That I was unfaithful to my wife. But you see Jill that never happened. Kelly undressed me and put me in her bed and then came to my room the next day thinking I would give in to her sober because I had thought that I had already been unfaithful while drunk. You were trying to ruin my marriage all along." Kelly defensively says, "That is quite a story Tim but why in the world would I do something like that. And what about the baby?" Tim says "Because back when you did that interview of me for Detroit Today I turned you down and you were upset. You thought that if you could get Jill out of the way I would come to you. You have no idea the commitment I have to my wife. It almost worked but Jill knows deep down in her heart that I love her and her alone and would never ever betray the love or trust that she has given me. So you had to come up with something that would drive her away. Bur how did you know she was going to be at the hotel that day." Kelly says, "I don't know what you are babbling about." Tim says, "You didn't know. You knew I would tell her when I got home and that things would dissolve themselves it was just luck that she showed up and found you and you got to see the whole thing happen. I may have been drunk that night but I know I would never have cheated on my wife because we have a relationship that is stronger than you think. There really isn't a child you made that part up as well and it might would have worked if I didn't have a vasectomy already." Kelly interrupts him and says "Are you finished. Come on you think I would do something like that. We have chemistry and if you would stop putting your wife on a pedestal in between us you would see what a good thing I am. We could be good together just give us a chance." Tim replies "I don't think I could ever love anyone other than my wife, she is my life. Please don't ever call me again. I now know the truth and if I ever hear from you again I will call the police and tell them you are harassing my family and I. Now I think it is time for you to leave." Looking defeated Kelly says, "You really don't know what a good thing you are throwing away." She then huffs out the door. Jill was standing there quietly taking in the developments of the last few minutes. Tim looks at her and says, "Jill are you ok?" Jill clears her throat and says, "I think I need some time to absorb what just happened. I am going to go home and I will see you tomorrow." She walks out of the room without saying goodbye. Leaving Tim unsure about how things were going to end up.

The Taylor Home…

Unable to sleep Jill sat up in her room thinking about all that had just occurred at the hospital. She was happy to know that Tim had not been unfaithful but the whole thing was still bothering her. The way Tim thought that Kelly was Jill and that he would have done more with her if things he had not passed out. But why was he so out of it? She knew that he liked to drink but he always knew when to stop so why that night in Chicago had he had a problem. Why was she trying so hard to tear apart her marriage? She didn't seem like a bad person when she had done the interview on Tim. Jill decided she was going to visit with Kelly the next morning before going to the hospital. After she made that decision she was able to fall asleep.

Meanwhile at the Hospital….

Tim had fallen asleep quickly after Jill and Kelly had left. He knew that Jill would have a lot of things to discuss with him in the morning so he wanted to be well rested. Kelly had doubled back and waited for him to fall asleep then she quietly went in his room and injected something into his IV. As she was leaving the floor she could hear the call over the hospital intercom "Cor Zero 4th Floor" she smiled internally because she knew that that call was for Tim. The hospital staff was trying to save his life right now.
