"Is he ok?" Ashley and Jeff rose up when a doctor came out of his room.
"He's fine, a bit irate. But he wants to see both of you." Jeff and Ash got up excitedly and followed the ER trauma physician to Hunter's curtained off room.
"Baby!" Ashley rushed to his side and held his hand.
"Just so you know Champ, I'll assist in beating the hell out of Dave if you would like me to."
"Agh, I wanna handle it my way. Thanks though." His eyes wandered Ashley. "Aren't you gonna give me a hug and a kiss?"
"You guys are so cute."
:I gotta miss a week from works. But I figure you can take it off too. We could go on vacation."
"I'm gonna go outside and call Vince, let him know how you're doing."
"Good kill two birds with one stone."
"What? What are you getting at?"
"Give me and Ashley a few minutes alone, and call the boss man. I like it." Jeff chuckled and walked away.
"You'll be a little sore to go on vacation don't you think? I mean Dave did a number on you. I want to kill him."
"We don't have to go hiking up any mountains or anything. As it is I wanna stay in and explore your valleys." He kissed her knuckles and smiled mischievously.
"You're dirty." She leaned down to kiss him on his shoulder. "When are you coming home? Nothing's broken is it? Just bruises and a little crazy ness right?"
"I can leave, against medical advice, but I can." He sat up and kissed her cheek. "Let's go, we can rent a movie on the way. Go home, get up early and fly out early. And look at vacation places." Ashley smiled widely and helped him to his feet. "Not that it needs to be pretty. If I have my way we'll never leave the room."
