P.O.V. Kim

I was so scared. Jay was in surgery. What if he dies? We were finally opening that door of us. What about Thea? Oh my god Thea. Voight told me that Trudy was going to pick her up, and drop her off. I need to take care of her first and for most. Whatever happens to Jay I will take care of Thea. Jay should be fine, right? I mean it wasn't like he was shot in thee heart, but he was shot in the abdomen area. That could affect so many things that I can't even think of right now. My mind would go on forever if I hadn't felt a tug at my pants. When I looked down I saw the little angel. She lifted up her arms as to signal that she wanted to be held. I would be to. The hospital isn't exactly the most homey place.

"Hey angel." That was all that I could say before she put her head on my shoulder, grabbing a hold on my hair, and I lost it. This little girl lost one parent just a couple of days ago. She can't lose another. I can't lose Jay.

"This isn't how I expected to meet my niece. Hey Kim" said the voice that had somehow snuck up on me.

"Hey Will. Yeah this is Thea. This is your Uncle Will. He's your daddy's brother." Poor girl didn't even lift her head. She didn't know what was going on, but she could feel it.

"Hi Thea. I got you some things at the store downstairs." He says as he shows her a bag of lollipops and a pink teddy. He looks from the bag to me wondering if she could have them. I nodded, and he let her pick one from the bag. He then unwrapped it, and handed her the lollipop and bear. She lifted her head for a second, and then put it right down. I don't think that she will be leaving my side at least until she sees Jay, hopefully alright.

"How is he Will?" I look up at the red head trying to read him. He didn't seem especially concerned, but wasn't acting normal either.

"He is out of surgery, and should be waking up soon. He should be back at work in a about two weeks. He'll be fine." I felt like I could finally breath. He was fine. Thea won't lose him. I won't lose him. We won't lose him. Did I mean the team when I said we? When did I start combining me and Thea together? When did I start thinking about Thea, Jay, and I as a we? Were we a family? I need to talk to Jay.

"Can we see him?" Will nodded, and led us to a room. Everyone just stayed there. I guess they thought that we needed time with Jay. Wil apparently caught on because once we got to the door he gave us a smile, and turned to leave. When he left I turned to the door, and just stood there for a couple seconds. Thea had fallen asleep before so I threw the lollipop out. At least I didn't have to worry about what she would see. I finally open the door, and what I see on the other side brings me peace. Jay was ok, and awake.

"Hey looks like someone's tired. Here you can put her on this side of the bed if you don't want to hold her." How could he go back into dad duty after just going through surgery? How could she even think that she would be able to take care of Thea without him? I shake my head no because it might be greedy, but I held onto Thea like a lifeline. She was keeping me from breaking. Thinking about that made tears come to my eyes.

"Hey what's wrong? Kim I'm alright. Come here." He said as he shifted over to the other side. The side where he was shot. I didn't fight it anymore. I needed to feel him. Make sure he was ok.

"You could've died Jay. You were shot. If that was aimed…" I couldn't finished because he interrupted me.

"I'm ok Kim. I'm alright." He was trying to calm me down. He forced my head down onto his shoulder. Thea was still sleeping in between us.

"But you might not have. Thea needs you Jay. I need you. We both just got you. I don't want to lose you." He didn't say anything. I know that we said that we would give us a try, but maybe I was scaring him off. I looked up at him, and he looked in thought.

After, what seemed like hours he finally spoke,

"Move in with me. I know that this is probably to soon, but I don't want for it to be just me and Thea. I want you to be there too. We can take it as slow as you want. I don't really care. I just want you to be there." He started to look away from embarrassment. I didn't need to think about it. The three of us were already a we. We were already a family. I use my free hand to pull his face towards mine, and leaned up ever so slightly. He met me half way. After, everything that happened today this canceled out all out. Our lips finally touched. It was all ok. When we break apart I give him a slight smile, and whisper just loud enough for him to hear,

"I would love too."
