Tommy and Kimberly took the girls over to the daycare center. They didn't really want to but them in daycare, but they were going to be starting college soon. The college does have a daycare and they can check on the girls whenever they want to.
Tommy and Kimberly were walking through the park talking, but they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They walked into the middle of a drive-by shooting, and Tommy is hit.
"Tommy!" Kimberly cried as she held her fiancé in her arms as he was bleeding.
The shooting attracted a lot of attention, and everyone surrounded the two.
"Call an ambulance!" Kimberly yelled into the crowd.
Before she knew it, the ambulance had arrived to take Tommy to the hospital. Kimberly wouldn't move from his side. The EMT got out of the ambulance; he was shocked when he saw who the victim is. It was his baby brother.
"Thomas!" He cried as he loaded his brother on to the stretcher.
Kimberly climbed into the ambulance and sat beside Tommy's older brother.
"Clark, is he going to be okay?" Kimberly asked in tears.
"Kimberly, he will be fine. We radioed ahead so they know we are coming." Clark said.
"Do they know who it is?" Kimberly asked wondering.
Clark shook his head; he couldn't tell his parents that the patient was their own son.
"No, I couldn't tell mom or dad. Just hang on little brother." Clark admitted.
At the hospital, Peter and Patrick were waiting for the ambulance and the gun-shot victim. Peter saw Kimberly coming in next to the gurney. He saw Tommy laying on the gurney. Patrick also saw the victim, it was his own son. They had to call in another team, neither one could do his surgery. They are too close to him.
The new team took Tommy up to the operating room. Patrick knew he had to tell Robin about Tommy's shooting. Clark took Kimberly into the waiting room and stayed with her.
Robin and Jennifer were talking in Robin's office, when Peter and Patrick came in upset.
"Patrick, what is wrong?" Robin asked.
Peter walked over to Jennifer and stood by her side.
"There was a shooting." Patrick said.
Robin said nothing; they are doctors they deal with this type of thing everyday. It comes with the territory.
"It was Tommy, he's in surgery." Patrick said as he grabbed his wife and let her cry in his arms.
"Does Kimberly know?" Jennifer asked.
"She was with him, when he was shot. It was a drive-by shooting. Clark took Kimberly to the waiting room." Peter told her.
They went to the waiting room and saw Kimberly crying and Clark trying to get her to calm down. Kimberly saw her mother and went running into her arms.
"Hey, calm down. Tommy is strong, he will make it. Just you wait and see." Jennifer said to her daughter.
After 2 hours the surgeon came in. Everyone looked at him as he entered the waiting room.
"He will be fine. He went into cardiac arrest, but we got him back and he will be fine. We removed the bullet, but we won't know the extent of the damage until he wakes up." The doctor said.
"Can I see him?" Kim asked.
The doctor nodded.
Kim ran to Tommy's room, she sat by his bed and held his hand. Tommy older sister Josie came in to check on her baby brother. Tommy started to stir and opened his eyes; first thing he saw was Kimberly and smiled at her. Kim just smiled back.
"What is the meaning of scaring us half to death like this?" Josie yelled at her baby brother.
Tommy smiled; he always loves to get the best of his sister. "Hey, you know me; I am always up for adventure." He said.
Josie just shook her head; he just woke up from major surgery and could have died and he was already joking around. "Yeah, I know, that is what worries me." Josie said hitting him gently in the arm.
"Hey Josephine, relax, I am fine, I really am." Tommy said.
"For starters little bro, hay is for horses and I am the big sister here remember." Josie said sarcastically.
Tommy smiled he was getting to her and she was getting angry, so he kept going. "Yeah I remember, but I'm taller." He said.
"You may be taller, but I am older." Josie said angrily.
Kimberly just watched Tommy with his sister. He was really irritating her, Kim never knew he did that.
"Are you two fighting again?" Patrick said in a stern voice letting them both know that they had better stop.
"Josie, we want to talk to Tommy and Kimberly alone." Robin said.
Josie hit Tommy in the arm one more time and walked out of the room.
"We discussed it, and when you get out of here, you will be moving back home with us." Robin said.
"Mom, I'm fine." Tommy said.
"Thomas, you are only 17 and have been shot. You are moving back home, I don't want to hear another word about it." Patrick ordered.
"What about Kim and my daughters?" Tommy asked.
"They will come too of course." Robin said.
Tommy sighed, "For how long?" He asked.
"At least until you are 18 and maybe even until Kim is also 18." Patrick said.
Tommy couldn't believe his parents were forcing him to move home. It is still 3 months until he turns 18, and still 8 months for Kimberly. He can't believe he is back to living with his parents and their rules.
