Adam and Kim sat in the room for a few minutes listening to nothing but the TV after Will and Dr. Janic left the room. Adam seemed to be lost in his own head. Kim waited for some sort of reaction from him, but when she was met with nothing she decided to speak up first. "You okay? I thought you'd be a little more excited about regaining feeling."

"I'm excited." Adam replied emotionless.

Kim knew something was up but decided now was not a good time to push for answers. All it would do is lead to another fight. She assumed it had something to do with the mention of him going to a rehab after the hospital, but Will made it sound like it was optional so she's not sure why he became completely shut down.

Adam knew his reply wasn't convincing and wasn't sure if Kim would drop the subject or not so he gave her a little more. "I'm just in a lot of pain right now." It wasn't necessarily a lie. Despite all the pain meds they still had him on, he was in constant pain. Some days he was just better at hiding it.

"What's wrong?" She knew it was a silly question, but Adam rarely admits when he's in pain so she knew something wasn't right.

"Just feels like someone is grabbing my insides and twisting them around and my back is killing me."

Kim became extremely nervous. "Why didn't you say anything to Will or Dr. Janic when they were in here? I'm sure they could have-"

"Because the pains been the same since I first woke up. Doesn't matter what they do or give me, it doesn't go away." Adam cut her off. "And I'm tired of being poked and prodded and getting this test or that scan. I feel like a damn science experiment or something."

"Adam, you're not a science experiment. These guys know what they're doing. They can help if you let them." She replied softly.

"I'm just gonna try to get some sleep. You don't have to stay here for that." He knew she only left at night after he fell asleep, but right now he really just wanted to be alone.

"I'm okay here. I brought a book and Kevin dropped off some paperwork for me to do."

"Kim, please. Go spend time with Mack or something."

Kim was a little surprised, but also not at the same time. This was the first time they had mentioned Makayla since Adam woke up. At first it was because Kim wasn't sure if Adam would remember her. Him waking up thinking Al was still alive, really had her nervous. Once they established that it was just a dream and not a memory, she avoided mentioning Makayla's name because she knew she wasn't able to visit and she didn't want Adam to ask her to bring her in.

He had only been out of the ICU now for about an hour now and Kim just didn't have a chance to bring her up yet.

"She misses you." Kim blurted out.

"I miss her too, but please don't bring her here."

"Adam, what am I supposed to say to her? She's worried about you, asks every day when she can see you."

"I don't want her to see me like this, Kim. Please. Just not yet." Adam knew Makayla didn't care how he looked and he knew it wasn't really fair what he was asking from Kim, but he couldn't stand the idea of her seeing him so weak.

Kim knew pushing would lead to yet another fight that she was still trying to avoid. At this point it almost seemed like Adam was doing anything to try to start one and she had been dodging them all morning, so instead of taking the bait, she just agreed. "I can hold her off for a few more days, but you're going to have to see her eventually."

"I know." Adam sighed. "Now if you don't mind leaving, I'm gonna take a nap."

She had no idea why he was so insistent on her leaving so he could sleep. She had been sitting by his side for a week while he slept, but she also knew she needed to start spending more time with Makayla and was going to have to return to work from her leave of absence in the next two weeks.

Kim decided to respect Adams wish and leave to spend time with Makayla. She wasn't sure what she was going to tell her yet about not being able to see Adam, but she knew she would think of something.

Adam was glad Kim didn't put up a fight about staying. He fully expected her to, especially after admitting how much pain he was in. He just needed a break from everything. He couldn't keep pretending like everything was okay when in reality he felt like his entire world was crumbling.

As soon as Kim was gone, the tears started falling. It was the first time he had actually been alone since waking up and it felt good to finally be able to put his wall down. He cried out of pain, but not just physical pain. The emotional pain too. He knew his life was going to be different after this accident. Will was clearly not telling him something and he had a feeling it had to do with work.

He didn't know what he was going to do if he couldn't be a cop out on the field. That's all he had ever known. He also had no idea how much feeling he would regain. Will seemed confident he was going to be able to walk again, but to what extent? Would he be able to walk 100% independently or would he need some sort of assistance from a cane, or walker, or crutches…maybe a wheelchair?

Being alone, despite being what he wanted, gave his brain time to wonder and question everything. He had never felt this broken down before. A big part of him, despite being grateful he had, almost wished he didn't even survive the shooting. But he did and now he had to deal with everything that came next.

He knew he had to be strong for it. Kim and Makayla needed him. But right now he had no problem feeling sorry for himself.
