Henry walked into Sheriff Longmire's office and saw Victoria "Vic" Moretti at her desk.
"Mathias was attacked." Henry said. "He is on life support. The ventilator is keeping him and our baby alive. We need to find out who his attacker is and catch him."
Walt came in; hearing it all. He has heard quite a few cases of men becoming pregnant, but never thought Mathias would be one of them.
"We will help ok." Vic said.
"Thank you!" Henry said.
Henry got a call from Meg.
"Hello? He's awake?" Henry said. "Ok I'm on my way. He's awake!"
Meanwhile, Mathias opens up his eyes, and looked around. He realized he's on the ventilator. Meg Joyce came in, and saw him staring at her. She brought Dr. Elijah in.
"Hi Mr. Clark." Dr. Elijah said. "I'm Dr. Elijah. I am the doctor treating you while you are down. I believe we're ready to take off the ventilator. Bought don't talk right away because your throat will be sore."
Mathias only nods, and Dr. Elijah took the ventilator off. Mathias was breathing on his own. He coughed a few times, and placed a hand on his stomach.
"The baby is fine." Dr. Jones said, walking in. "I checked and found no injuries to the womb."
Mathias smiles with a tear rolling down his face. Meg came in with Henry. The doctors stood back as Henry came over. Mathias placed Henry's forehead against his. They all stood there with a smile.
"I love you." Henry said.
"I love you too." Mathias said.
They kissed. This was the cue for the doctors and Meg to let them be.
"The baby's alive." Mathias said. "I should've been more care with my surroundings. It's my fault that I placed our little nugget in grave danger."
"Do not blame yourself." Henry said. "It is that assholes fault. Walt and Vic will take over and find out who attacked you and arrest that prick."
They kissed one more time. Henry decided to order some food. Mathias is feeding for two. Ms. Littlefoot knocked and they looked. She had a balloon, and a few cards.
"I'm so sorry." Ms. Littlefoot said. "I came with a few cards from my students."
Mathias read the cards and cried. He is so happy to be alive.
"It's not your fault." Henry said. "The attackers fault."
Mathias fell asleep, and Henry went home to get bathe.
The next day, Mathias was approached by The Ferg, and Meg.
"Hey Mathias." Ferg said. "I like to ask you some questions about what the attacker looks like if that's ok with you?"
Mathias nods, and Vic came in with a banana strawberry smoothie.
"Here. I got you a banana strawberry smoothie." Vic said.
"Did your attacker show his face?" Ferg said.
"Yes." Mathias said. "He had blue eyes. Red hair. I can't remember if he had a mustache or not."
"Is your attacker this guy?" Ferg says showing Mathias the guy with the same description.
"Yes." Mathias said, crying.
"His name is Eddie Harp." Vic said. "That is the name of your attacker."
"He tried to kill my little nugget." Mathias said.
"His baby." Meg explained.
"We are gonna do whatever it takes to capture your attacker, ok Mathias?" Vic said.
"I don't know how to thank you." Mathias said.
"It's ok." Vic said, softly. "What you need to do is relax and take care of your little nugget."
Mathias nods, and they left. Henry came in in hour later.
"My attackers name is Eddie Harp." Mathias said. "Ferg showed me the picture with the same description of what I was giving him."
"I do know with Walt, Eddie will be found." Henry said. "I do not know if you know this. Walt has a way of finding the person they're looking for."
"I know he does." Mathias said. "What if our little nugget isn't safe?"
"You know we will do whatever it takes to protect both you and our baby." Henry said. "The baby is alive. But that's because you protected little nugget."
Henry kisses Mathias who smiled.
