Tom slowly opened his eyes and looked around the small hospital room. His gaze stopped at a sleeping Sarah whose hand was wrapped around his own. He took a deep breath but winced in pain and looked down at his bandaged chest. "Sarah?" He said lower then a whisper. "Sarah?" He said a little louder.

Sarah startled and sat up straight, she rubbed her eyes with her free hand. Her glace then went to the weary Tom Hanson. She smiled weakly at him and squeezed his hand. "How are you feeling?" She asked him. "Just peachy." He said with a smile on his face. Then it was gone when he noticed that Sarah had a sad face.

"Ally? Is she okay?" Tom's eyes stared into the young mothers. "I don't know. Their not telling me anything, she still in the OR." Tears came rolling down her eyes. Tom did the best he could to sit up and her pulled the girl towards him and gave her a loving embrace, no matter how much he hurt him. For he hated to see the woman he loved sad. 'Shh.' He tired to soothe her.

A few hours had pass and Sarah was lying beside Tom on the single hospital bed. She was asleep in his arms. Tom laid there staring at this woman and she slept peacefully. Oh how he longed to hold in his arms over the last month. How he missed her when he was stuck in prison for crime he did no commit. Separated from the woman that he loved, the child he wanted to call his own, and his friends that stood beside him no matter what. Now he didn't know what was going to happen.

"Officer Hanson." The doctor came in and smiled when he saw Sarah sleeping. "We checked everything and it looks like you are free to go. Just take it easy for the next couple of weeks. And make sure to see you doctor back home for a check up." The doctor whispered, not wanting to wake up the girl. Tom smiled at him "Okay thanks." He replied also in a whisper.

"Hey, doc." Tom caught him before he left the room. He looked back at the young officer. "How is Ally Kelly doing?" Tom asked. "I don't know. But we should fine out soon." The doctor said with a frown on his face. Then left the room.

"Sarah?" Tom quietly shook the sleeping woman. "Sarah?" He said a little louder and she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Hmm?" Tom smiled at her sleepy figure. "I can go now." She smiled and got of the bed. Tom did the same, then Sarah help him dress into his clothes.

It was two in the morning when the doctor finally came out of the OR and into the waiting room where he found Tom and Sarah. Sarah was sleeping on Tom's shoulder while Tom just stared into the distance. There was no else waiting in the room. It was just the two of them.

Tom pulled out of his trance when he saw the doctor walk through the door. He nudged Sarah to walk her up. She looked at him and he motioned towards the doctor.

"Miss. Kelly." She stood up to the sound of her name. "Ally, is recovery. She is going to be just fine. She sure is a little fighter." Sarah smiled and breathed a sigh of relief as she grabbed Tom's hand and squeezed it. "I will need her to stay here for a few weeks just so we can keep an eye on her until she is fully stable. We will move her up to the children ward tomorrow, so she won't be so bored."

Sarah quickly waked up to the doctor and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you so much. Thank you." She cried tears of joy. The doctor smiled "Your welcome." Tom watched as he saw the woman he loved become happy again. He too was relieved that Ally was going to be okay. "She's still awake. You may go see her." The doctor said as Sarah let go of him.

Sarah walked hand in hand with Tom, as they were lead to the child's room. Sarah step through the door and when she saw her daughter's small child-like frame on the bed she let go of Tom and ran towards her. "Mommy." Ally side with a weak voice. Sarah stroked her daughter's head and then kissed it slowly. "I'm so sorry baby." She said as she cried.

Tom walked up beside the bed and grabbed Ally's small hand and brought it up to his mouth and kissed it. "Hi. Sweetheart." Tom said to the little girl. She looked up at him, he face pale, but still a small smile on it "Uncle Tommy." Tom loved hearing her say his name, just as much as he love to hear her to call him daddy. For the time that he has known Sarah and Ally, he couldn't wait to have a kid of his own. After a while, Ally seemed like she was his own and he loved her so much he wanted to her to be his own.

Tom looked at Sarah as she fussed over her daughter. In his mind, the most beautiful thing ever was seeing a mother with her child. Tom smiled at them both as he was a in a peaceful daze.

"Will you marry me?" Tom asked as they left the hospital at four in the morning. Sarah stopped in her tracks "What?" Tom looked at her with tired eyes "I want to marry you. I want to Ally's father. I want to have our own children. I want to live in this small town and we can raise or kids in this safe environment. I love you and I will do anything for you." Tom said in an outburst.

Sarah smiled at him and nodded her head. "Of course. Unless you are still a convict and just ran away from prison to see me." Tom smiled "No I'm not a convict. I didn't kill the guy. I would be crazy too, because then I wouldn't be able to spend the rest of my life with you." He gave her a small peck on the lips. She smiled at him and they stood waiting for the taxi they had called. "Tom…" She paused. "I don't think we have to wait until I give you a child." Tom looked at her as she glanced down at her tummy. Tom could see a slight bump growing. "No." He smiled. Sarah just nodded her head. "Yeah." Tom smiled grew bigger. Then he went down and kissed her belly. He stood up when he heard the taxi. Kissed her on the lips. Then opened the door for her and went to the hotel that the other's were staying at because they could go back to the house cause it was under investigation.
