Chapter 12

"I want the discharge papers, I want to go home!" Kono exclaimed in frustration.

She had been kept in overnight and the doctor wanted to keep her a bit longer because of the head injury but Kono being stubborn refused. She had no one to collect her, the guys were back at work likely giving Steve hassle and Adam…well she assumed from his last words he had left her. She hoped he had left Kelly with her mum so they could organise who visits when but she feared he had taken Kelly and gone…where she didn't know. Maybe they were both at home and Kono would just move out or something, he had to get out of the hospital though.

"Miss Kalakaua…"

"Officer Kalakaua!"

"I'm sorry, officer Kalakaua, your injuries were bad we want you to stay another night just so we can observe you" The doctor informed.

"You can get me the discharge papers or I'll just walk out, your choice." Kono argued.

"Fine but do you have someone who can collect you?"

"I am perfectly capable of getting home myself"

"I really think you should have someone…"

"I'll call a cab and they'll take me to my door!" Kono almost yelled. It was enough to get the doctor to get her the discharge papers.

After much arguing over papers and struggling to get her clothes on by herself Kono walked slowly out to the front of the hospital. She didn't have her car here and she hadn't called anyone to collect her and she was too stubborn to do so. She began to walk but realised she didn't know if she was welcome at home or not. She didn't want to presume because she knew Adam was seriously mad at her, so mad that she was sure they were no longer in a relationship. She felt the tears spring to her eyes again. God she was sick of crying. She could hear the crashing waves and decided to sit on the beach for a while, kill some time before she decided what to do.

Adam sat on the plush couch, bouncing Kelly on his knees as she giggled happily and watched a cartoon. Kelly made Adam smile and it made him happy. He had been so angry with Kono and still was, but seeing his little girl put a grin on his face. He needed the day to have space from Kono and decide what he would say. He had asked the doctors when Kono would be released and they anticipated the following day, so he decided to take today to be with Kelly then face Kono tomorrow when he collected her.

Steve sat in his office catching up on the paperwork. He felt so guilty with what happened and Danny and Chin were acting weird with him. He didn't blame them but he chose to say clear. Chin had brought the twins into work since Malia had started doing a few shifts back at the hospital. He and Danny were rather content playing with the boys and making silly faces at them. Steve's soft side wanted to go join them but he didn't want to piss them off. He sighed knowing how badly he fucked up, even though it was Kono's idea, he is the leader and he agreed. He mentally shot himself in the head.

Adam rubbed his face as he put the phone down. The doctor had just called to let him know Kono had discharged herself. He was really mad but also worried. Where would she have gone? He was about to collect Kelly and go looking when someone knocked at the door. He opened it and a frail looking Kono dressed in sweats looked at him with a nervous and almost fearful look.

"I know you don't want me here and I know that you broke up with me and I understand but I have no other clothes and I'm going to go get a hotel room until I can get my own place but hi just need some more clothes and I hoped you would let me grab some really kick and give Kelly a kiss then I'll go I promise." Kono rambled tearfully.

Adam stared at her in shock not believing her words.

"Please I'll be quick Adam or you could grab some and jus shove them in a bag or…"

"Kono I didn't break up with you" Adam said in disbelief.

"But you left" Kono said equally as shocked.

"I'm bloody angry Kono I need space to think I didn't want to say something I'll regret, you'd just been attacked and nearly raped I admit I didn't want to be with you for long in that moment because like I said I was fuming but I did not break up with you." Adam explained.

"Oh" Was all Kono could say.

"Get inside" Adam said as he guided Kono in.

Kono didn't know what to say and instead looked around uneasy.

"The doctor phone and said you left before they wanted you too" Adam stated.

Oh shit he's even moremad Kono thought. "I erm…" Kono stuttered suddenly incoherent.

"We really need to talk Kono, seriously talk." Adam said firmly.

"I know" Kono mumbled softly.

"I'm going to drop Kelly at your mum's so we can talk properly without interruptions"Adam said.

"Okay"

"Go give her a kiss then I'll take her" Adam instructed as Kono cooed over Kelly kissing her chubby face before handing her to Adam.

"Sit on the sofa and don't move. You look exhausted since I imagine you trekked all the way from the hospital and you're too frail to be moving about." Adam said sternly.

"I need to shower" Kono tried.

"I'll help you late, lay down." Adam said leaving no room for discussion.

Kono did as she was told, laying down and watching TV. Adam sighed and kissed her temple before leaving.
