Kim was on her way to the firehouse to talk to Doc again. She had to start working again. She was going crazy sitting around her house doing nothing. She loved her job and she was ready to come back. Doc just didn't think that she was ready yet. He would keep telling her to take more time off and get better. But she was better and she didn't need to take anymore time off. She just hoped that Doc would let her come back to work. Kim was now in front of the firehouse. She saw Jimmy standing outside.

"Hey Kim. What are you doing here?" Jimmy asked walking over to her and pulling her into a hug. He hadn't seen her for a while and was surprised to see her here. But he was glad to see her and that she looked a lot better than she had the last time he saw her. He actually felt bad for not stooping by her place to see her. He was really worried about her. He kept worrying that she would try something stupid again and that he would lose her. He still loved her so much.

"I'm here to talk to Doc about coming back to work," Kim replied and pulled herself out of Jimmy's arms. Jimmy was acting weird. He was acting like he was happy to see her and he was hugging her, yet he never called or stopped by her place to see her. Why was he acting so different now?

"Are you sure that you're ready to come back to work? You know Doc wants you to take more time off," Jimmy said. He knew that Kim wouldn't ask Doc if she could come back to work unless she was really ready to. But he had to be sure. He didn't want her to rush back into everything. She should only do what she can handle right now.

"Yes I'm sure. I've missed working here and being around everyone. Even you," Kim replied. She saw Jimmy smile.

"Hey, I am very fun to be around," Jimmy said.

"Yeah, fun enough to get us all in trouble," Kim replied and walked away from Jimmy and into the firehouse. When she walked inside she saw Doc sitting at the table drinking coffee and walked over to him. She hoped that he would let her come back to work.

"Hey Doc. Can we talk?" Kim asked.

"Sure. What about?" Doc replied.

"I wanted to talk to you about me coming back to work. I know that you think that I should take some more time off, but I'm ready to come back. I don't need anymore time," Kim said. She looked at Doc. She could tell that he was thinking.

"Are you sure you're ready to do this? I don't want you coming back if you're not sure about it," Doc replied. He couldn't keep her from coming back to work forever. And he could really use her back. Things were tight around here without her. He had Carlos working more than he should and he could tell that Carlos was barely getting any sleep which would help him much when he was working.

"I'm sure about this Doc. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't," Kim answered.

"You can come back monday. That gives you almost a week off," Doc said. He hoped that he was doing the right thing.

"Thanks Doc," Kim said and left. She was happy that Doc was letting her come back to work. She couldn't wait to tell Bosco when she saw him later today.

Kim was in her kitchen making some coffee. She heard someone at her door and answered it. She saw Bosco standing there and let him in. .

"I didn't think that you would be here this early," Kim said smiling. She was happy to see him. He was so nice and understanding. She went back into the kitchen and Bosco followed her.

"So, what did you do today?" Bosco asked and sat down at the table with Kim.

"I talked to Doc again about going back to work," Kim replied.

"What did he say?" Bosco asked.

"I can start work again on Monday," Kim answered. She still couldn't believe that Doc was letting her come back to work. She thought he would have told her to take more time off like all the other times she asked.

"That's great," Bosco replied. He was happy for Kim. He knew that she loved her job and that she really wanted to go back to work and now she could. He loved to see her happy.

"I'm just glad that he let me come back," Kim said.

"Do you want to do anything tonight?" Bosco asked.

"I don't know. Like what?" Kim asked. She wondered what he had in mind.

"We could go get something to eat. Do you like pizza?" Bosco replied.

"Yeah that sounds nice," Kim said and her and Bosco left.
