The next day Walker's eye was open however he did nothing, but just stare at the ceiling. His right eye was open just a tiny slit but was still swollen from surgery. Each time she would talk to him he would just moan or twitch his fingers. She smiled at Walker then took out a sponge stick and dipped it in water.

"I know this hurts but your lips are getting chapped." Slowly she began to run the sponge over his cracked lips making him moan. "Sshh...take it easy. Just one more time." After she was done she looked at his mouth which was swollen and slightly open showing a lot of wire work inside. "That must hurt honey."

She took a bigger sponge then dipped it in cool water making sure it had plenty of water. Since Walker has gotten a little stronger she would squeeze a bit of water in his mouth. He would swallow it, but it could be just an automatic reaction. She placed the sponge gently over his mouth then lightly squeezed it, allowing drops of water to fall through his lips. Instantly he began to swallow as the drops hit his tongue.

"That's it. You stay strong for us." She put the sponge away then looked at him. She wanted so badly to touch his face, to let him know that everything is all right, sadly the bruising told her otherwise. Instead she picked his hand up once again, studying it like she has been doing for the last week. "Walker, you can tell you didn't fight back. You have no bruising on your hands or arms." She began to cry. "It shows that you were out when you were attacked."

She sighed heavily then slowly stood up and went to the window. She always thought it was weird to have a window in a room where the patient is always sleeping, must be for the visiting family. However she liked looking out through the glass to see the snow covered cars. It rarely snows like this in Dallas and she wished that Walker was awake to see it. Looking behind her at her husband she shook her head still wishing that the attack didn't happen.

"Hey, do you need company?" Asked Trivette as he made his way into the room.

"I can always use some." She crossed her arms then went up to him. "Have you talked to the twins lately?"

He shook his head. "I tried to write them, but they were shipped to Bosnia for a two year stint." He glanced down at Walker and shook his head. "Has Doctor Miller said anything yet?"

"No." She went up and gave Trivette a hug. "Jimmy, what am I to do? Angela can't keep seeing her dad like this."

Trivette hugged her back. "Erika, brought her tonight, their waiting in the waiting room now. If you don't want her to come see Walker then we can send her home."

Alex shook her head. "No, bring her in. Walker needs to hear her voice."

In a few minutes the little bundle of joy came bounding into the room with another coloring page in her hands. She ran up to Alex, jumped up into her arms then gave her a big hug. Alex then kissed her daughter on top of the head.

Angela lifted up a coloring page showing a purple and blue elephant. "I colored this for daddy."

"It's so beautiful!" She took the page and handed it to Trivette who taped it above Walker's bed.

"Can I hug daddy?" Angela asked giving Alex a sad look.

Alex nodded with a smile. "You sure can, but be very careful." She carried Angela to Walker's bed then gently laid her beside him. Her daughter gently snuggled into Walker's side which made him shift his weight ever so slightly. Seeing it Alex turned to Trivette smiling. "Did you just see that?"

Trivette nodded, smiling also. "Yeah, I think he knows she's there." He went up to Walker. "His eye is open. I wonder if he sees anything."

Erika stepped to the bed smiling. "I bet he does." She sighed. "Where are Gage and Sydney? I haven't seen them for awhile."

Trivette sat down in a chair. "They went undercover and have been undercover for about two months. They are so close in breaking the case they can't leave until they do. But when they do I know this will be the first place they will come."

Angela laid her head on Walker's chest. "When daddy waking up?"

Alex came over and gave her a big hug. "We don't know." She gave Walker a slight kiss on his forehead and when she did she thought he looked at her. Giving him another kiss she definitely can see his eye staring at her. She looked up with a grin. "He's looking at me."

Quickly Trivette went up to Walker and smiled as well. "Hey, buddy." He took hold of Walker's hand. "Squeeze my hand if you know that I'm here." Very slowly Walker's hands curled. "He knows were here!" Trivette turned to Erika and gave her a big hug. "He knows were here!"

Erika gave Jimmy a huge hug back. "See, Walker will be back to normal in no time." Her voice quickly faded away as Walker's body began to slightly shake. "His having a seizure!" As she said this she scooped up Angela and made it out of the room.

Doctor Miller ran in with two nurses. "You all need to get out."

Once out of the room Alex quickly made her way to Angela who was being held by Erika. Reaching out for Angela she started to apologize to her young daughter who had begun to cry.

Angela sobbed. "Why daddy do that for?"

"Daddy has a head injury." Alex took a deep breath to stop from crying herself. "He's going to be acting like this for awhile."

"Can you fix daddy?" Angela questioned as she snuggled into Alex's shoulder.

"We're trying sweetie. We're trying." Alex turned back as Doctor Miller came walking out of Walker's room. "What is happening doctor?"

Doctor Miller shook his head. "It appears that Walker might have suffered trauma induced seizures or epilepsy." He looked behind him at Walker then turned back to Alex. "We will have to do some tests tomorrow."

Nodding Alex tried not to cry. "So, this will be a recurring thing?"

"I'm afraid so. If he wakes up, he might have to be on medication for it." He sighed. "We will start administrating him some medication that should help with the seizures. We are going to take another CAT scan to see if anything is wrong. More then likely, it's just an after effect of the damage done to his brain."

After Doctor Miller left Alex went to the waiting room and placed Angela down in a chair. She lowered her head in her hands wishing that her dad was right here with her. She felt a few loving pats on her shoulders, but right now she needed a hug from her dad. Looking up she spotted Erika playing with Angela on the floor. Erika had brought a board game, actually brought several and appeared to be playing a game of Chutes and Ladders with Angela.

Alex looked up at Trivette. "Do you think anything will be the same again?"

He sat down while taking a deep breath. "Only God knows now."
