Jonny awoke to the smell of a hospital but seemed too noisy to be a room. "Where the hell am I?" He asked aloud. We was greeted with a smile from a soft face as red hair cascaded onto his face and body. "Your in the ER at a hospital in Miami." Jessie replied softly and then surprisingly she leaned over and kissed his forehead softly. "What was that for?" he asked softly, and then remembered vaguely having heard her voice earlier when he drifted in and out of consciousness, and then it hit him, he had said that he loved her. He tried to sit up but felt pain as he did and then Jessie pushed him down. "Relax Jonny, you were hurt pretty badly." She said. "How bad?" Jonny wheezed. "You broke two ribs which were putting pressure on your lung until they were set, and you have a concussion from being hit with a bullet in that hard head of yours." She smiled as she said the last part.
He was about to say something when he heard a familiar sound coming from the other bed, and he turned to Jessie confused. "Don't worry about it Jonny its just Anthony. He's in the next bed; he dislocated his shoulder and his hip in the fight. They had to knock him out to put it back and he's now waking up." Jonny turned his head and saw his good friend lying there in the bed and he turned his head at Jonny and smiled. "Hell of a way to start summer vacation huh?" Jonny said to no one in particular showing his famous grin. The response he got from his friend didn't surprise him. "Oh yea just the way I wanted too. A fight, got shot at, and ended up in the hospital! Can it get any better?"
Jessie just smiled and stood between them and addressed them like a mother. "Now you two behave. Everyone's is getting food in the Cafeteria real fast and then the doctor said when you regained consciousness we could got home." "Sweet, does that mean there is beer pizza and naked women waiting for us there?" Jonny yawned, half jokingly. "You can have the pizza Jon boy I want the beer and naked women." Anthony laughed back at him. Jessie at first frowned at this comment and thought to herself 'Jeeze all that emotion into him and he talks about other women, what a jerk.' Then she realized that it was just Jonny being Jonny and smiled and responded. "Jonny you wouldn't know what to do with a naked girl if she was right in front of you and threw herself at you." Everyone present laughed at the comment and Jonny simply smiled, yawned and said. "Maybe you'll find out someday Jessie how good I am."
Jessie turned red with blush and was about to respond when Dr. Quest and Race walked in the room and realized Jonny and Anthony were awake and smiling. Dr. Quest was the first to speak. "Well I am glad to see that you are awake and in good spirits." Jonny turned and looked at his father and smiled his trademark grin. "Hey pop, its good to be awake and happy, but can we get out of here, you know I hate hospitals." Dr. Quest just sighed and smiled then spoke to everyone in general. "Yea do not worry Jonny, the doctors said you are free to go. I just have to sign you and Anthony out." On that note Dr. Quest turned and walked out of the room and started talking to what Jonny suspected was either a nurse or doctor. Race turned to leave and stopped as he noticed that Jessie's hand had snaked into Jonny's hand. He was about to say something but decided it could wait and instead said. "Jessie time to get out so that the guys can change into some clothes." Jessie blushed again and got up from her position and walked out of the room followed right behind by a stern looking Race.
3 Hours Later-----------------It was around 6:00am in the morning when the whole crew arrived back at the Island's Airfield. As they got out Jonny and Anthony were helped slowly out and towards the badly shot up and damaged Quest Rover with Anthony in a wheelchair and Jonny just being in a daze and sometimes far away mentally. As they traveled back to the main house everyone except Race, who was wide awake and alert, were dozing from being up all night and having gone at full adrenaline and it had finally worn off. When the car finally stopped and everyone started to get out Jonny looked around the house at the broken window, the crashed Bikes and ATV, the bullet shell casings and sadly blood stains and body outlines from where investigators had outlined the intruders bodies and done their work. 'God, it looks like a war zone here, how bad did it get after I went out?' he thought.
Once everyone had gotten inside and settled in the living room it wasn't long before multiple pairs of eyes had closed and fallen into sleep. Dr. Quest and Race had just come out of the study and setting the security system at its highest level for the night. "Well guys you should all…." Dr Quest stopped as he noticed the kids all over the living room. On one couch Anthony was sprawled out with his leg elevated and Carrie laying across his chest fast asleep. On the large leather chair Steven was curled up with his arms around Mariah. And to the shock and surprise of both parents Jessie and Jonny were on the other couch with Jessie having her back to Jonny and him having an arm draped around her.
Surprising to his nature Race smiled at the sight and motioned Benton to follow him out whispering. "Let them sleep they all have had a crazy day and should have been asleep long ago." Dr. Quest smiled a soft smile and followed his bodyguard and old friend, and once out of the room stated. "Your taking that well Race, I expected you to be upset and try to shot my son." "Well he's a good kid, and in case you haven't noticed from earlier those too have it bad for each other." Was Race's response. Benton turned back to the living room and turned off the light whispering, "Sweet dreams."
Almost as if hearing his words almost each of the kids dreamt and thought in their dreams. 'This is so nice to be in this persons arms.'
