Chapter 26

"They should be fine, they both inhaled a considerable amount of smoke and are suffering from a slight case of carbon monoxide poisoning, but they should be fine, surprisingly neither of them got burned significantly." The doctor assured.

"So they'll be alright?" Bobby asked.

"We'd like to keep them here overnight, Chloe maybe two, but if Jack Hudson hadn't gotten to her when he did, it would be a lot worse."

Sue breathed a sigh of relief. "When can we see them?"

"Soon, we've made sure their rooms were near so you should be able to see both of them." The doctor nodded politely and left the room.

Tara let out a short laugh as Bobby enveloped her body in his arms, a faint smile on his face, "They're going to be fine," Tara whispered, mostly to herself, she still couldn't believe it. Sue stumbled backwards into the chair. A few minutes later a nurse came in and informed them that they could see the patients now.

In the elevator Bobby said, "I don't know who to see first."

"See Chloe, I'm going to see Jack, he'll understand if you're not there right away." Sue offered.

"Thanks." The elevator stopped and the door opened. The trio – plus Levi – found the rooms quickly, as Sue entered Jacks, Bobby and Tara took deep breaths and opened the door to Chloe's room. Tears formed in Tara's eyes as she walked to Chloe's bedside.

"Hey, Chloe, how are you feeling?" Tara whispered, she brushed Chloe's cheek. Tara felt Bobby standing next to her, he put a comforting hand on her shoulder, and with his other he covered Chloe's hand beneath his.

"I threw up." Chloe hoarsely whispered.

Tara smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks, "That's fine, sugar."

Bobby's grip tightened on her shoulder as Chloe's became streaked with tears. "I was so scared, I didn't know what to do."

"Hey, sheila," Bobby said softly, "no need to cry, we're here now."

Chloe nodded weakly, "The doctors told me that Jack got me out, is that true?"

"Yup," Bobby said when he saw that Tara couldn't speak, "he's a hero."

"When can I say thanks?"

"Soon." Tara managed.

"Mommy, why are you crying?" Chloe touched Tara's cheeks that were wet with tears.

"I'm just happy, these are happy tears."

Bobby looked at the woman he loved with worried eyes.

"Please don't cry Mommy, it'll make me cry," Chloe pleaded, tears already brimming her eyes again as she sat up and wrapped her arms around Tara's neck. "It's okay, Mommy."

"I know," Tara cried.

"Daddy…" Chloe outstretched her arms to include Bobby in the embrace. His arms wrapped around them and he couldn't stop the tears forming to slid down his cheeks.
