Steve sighed but was not surprised when the monitors in the room went nuts and they were shoved out of the room and minutes later her doctor came out shaking his head, "I am sorry her heart couldn't take more."

They both shook his hand, "Thank you doctor."

"Jacob I am really sorry," Steve leaned against the wall. "Not sure when he will get out of here and think should hold something private for Matt to give him a chance to say goodbye."

"I was thinking the same thing and might be good idea for him to say goodbye."

Catherine looked up as the door opened and he walked in, "I am really sorry Steve."

He dropped down in a chair next to her taking their baby from her, "Am going to figure something out so he can say goodbye to her."

She laid her head on his shoulder looking back at the sleeping boy in his bed, "He would love the chance but you okay?"

He laid his head on top of hers, "Am fine just need time to think. What about you two?"

"He doesn't seem to like going to far from me more than few seconds. So nothing that's unusual."

"He's a momma boy so not unexpected hear anything while was gone?"

"Seems that his pressure has gone done more than expected so maybe waking sooner than later."

"Guess that's a good thing for once. Get some sleep?"

"A good thing only because just as stubborn as someone else I know," she glared at him. "As for sleep someone has been refusing the bottle."

He ran a hand down their son's back, "To stubborn for his own good. So what the doctor say about his development?"

"That he may be able to get off the vent in a few more days rather than a week."

A few days passed and Danny walked into the room smirking as passed his partner some coffee grinning at the sleeping baby in his arms, "You ever let him go home?"

Steve laughed careful to not wake him, "Cath, goes home at night and comes back sometime during the day."

"Heard that they will be taking him off the vent today," he told him. "Here for some moral support."

He clapped him on the shoulder, "Thanks for this Danny."

His doctor walked in, "Morning Commander McGarret and Officer Williams. If everything stays good wont need to out him back on and will leave him on a mask. Should wake up in a day or two."

They watched as he took out the ventilator and put a mask over his face, "Hit the button if something is wrong."

"So Chin had to drag him out of here for practice?" he nodded. "Good for him to get his mind on something other than this and on his friends for few hours."

A few hours later, Bryan walked back into the room passing around some coffee to Danny seeing that Catherine and Steve both were asleep, "Good to see him breathing on his own."

Danny pat him on the shoulder, "Good push forward so could wake up anytime. Need a ride home?"

He shook his head, "Will wait for her to go home and then catch a ride."

"How did practice go for you?"

"Was fine still need some practice some more but catching up but will call if something changes sure the twins and Gracie miss their dad."

"Alright kid, try to get some sleep. Look like need some."

"Yeah, same for you," the teen told him and dropped into a chair and soon fell asleep.

Matt could hear some talking and could feel someone holding his hand and when tried to open his eyes the lights were blinding but after a few tries he opened them and looked around the room to see everyone around the room smirking at see his dad was holding his hand and whispered, "Dada."

Steve opened his eyes when heard someone call his name and felt movement under his hand smiling at his son, "Hey there little man good to see you awake," the boy smirked yawning. "I am going to find your doctor and let him know that your awake and will be right back."

The doctor came into the room checking his vitals, "You gave your family quite a scare but it hurt anywhere?"

"My head hurts," he told them closing his eyes. "Dada."

A nurse put something in his IV, "This will make you feel a lot better but maybe a little sleepy."

They left leaving them alone, "Daddy, sleep with me?"

Steve moved to lay on one side of the bed and pulled him so could lay down on his chest, "This help?" he nodded and yawned. "Close your eyes and go back to sleep. Will be here when you wake up."

Catherine woke up smiling at the sight, "Think a little small for you sailor."

He pulled her arm so could kiss her, "Woke up and wanted to sleep like this so couldn't say no."

She kissed him once again and then Matt on the forehead, "He always does love to sleep there think his favorite place."

A few days later, Matt was watching some cartoons before he smirked as saw his uncle walked into the room with a bag of food handing him the bag and a chocolate/strawberry shake, "Thanks."

He slid down into a chair, "Scooby Doo, isn't it getting old to watch?"

He stuck his tongue at him, "No this is an original one so hush."

A nurse walked into the room smiling as checked him, "Good morning, nice to see you have an appetite finally."

Matt wrapped an arm around his bear, "Better than what pass off as food here."

She pat his leg softly, "I can agree but you're getting better faster than thought so maybe can get out of here in a week."

Catherine walked into the room smiling, "Glad to see that you have an appetite back. Danny is waiting for you outside."

Bryan kissed him on the temple, "See you later kid. Don't have too much fun in here without me."

"If plan on breaking out of here will give you a call first."
