Tommy was in the hospital or 3 days while he recovered. If Tommy's parents were not doctors, he probably would have been in the hospital a lot longer. Kimberly brought Melody to see her father. Cassidy was also with them but didn't understand what was going on since she was only 3 weeks old.
Kimberly came in pushing the girls in their stroller into Tommy's hospital room. He was sitting on the bed all dressed and ready to leave.
"Handsome, are you ready to go?" Kimberly asked.
"Yes Beautiful, I just wish we weren't moving back in with my parents. My older brother and sister want to live at home, but I don't. I want to live with you and our girls in our house not theirs." Tommy said.
"I know Amy wants to live at home too. It is just easier with my nieces. Casey never minded living at home, before he died." Kim admitted.
"Yeah I guess. Clark is 23 and an EMT, Josie is 21 and a nurse. Me, I am only 17 and I want to get away from my parents." Tommy told her.
"I guess that is what all teenagers want. I am sure that the girls will feel that way when they are our age." Kimberly said smiling.
Robin and Patrick came into the room. Patrick was pushing a wheelchair. Hospital policy states that all patients have to be pushed into a wheelchair to their car.
"Are you ready to go son?" Robin asked.
Tommy thought he would give it one last shot to get them back off.
"Mom, Dad, I am fine. I am really am. Please let us go back to our own home." Tommy begged.
"Thomas James Oliver, we have been through this 50 times in the past 3 days. The answer is still the same NO. You were shot and need to be where we can keep an eye on you." Patrick answered.
Kimberly just smiled. Patrick helped Tommy into the chair. Tommy held Kim's hand as he was pushed out to the car. Kimberly and Tommy were going to say in his room; the girls would be in the room right next door.
Josie and Clark were already at the house waiting for them to arrive. Josie was looking for a chance to get back at her brother for his comments while he was in the hospital.
"Hey little bro, welcome home." Clark said as they came in the house.
Tommy didn't say anything. He was angry at his parents for forcing him to move back home.
"Did they remove your tongue as well as the bullet in surgery?" Josie asked jokingly.
"Oh real funny," Tommy said sarcastically.
"I know I am funny!" She replied.
"Looking that is." Tommy said smiling.
Clark just listen to them go at it. He never got in the middle of their arguments. Patrick and Robin came in the house and listened to them arguing.
"Are you two at it already? Stop the fighting this instant!" Patrick ordered.
Tommy and Josie stopped fighting and looked at him. They knew he was serious. He is always serious about it. Clark helped his little brother up to his room. Kimberly tucked the girls into the beds she moved there from their own home. After Melody was asleep for her nap, Kimberly went in to see her fiancé. He was lying in bed.
"Tommy, what is going on between you and your sister? Do you always fight like this?" Kim asked.
"Actually we do. Dad hates it, but we do it anyway. Sometimes when we were younger and were fighting in the car. Dad would make us get out of the car and walk home. Then when we finally got home, he would yell and then ground us. You would think that eventually Josie and I would learn, but we never did." Tommy explained.
"If you knew that it would get you into trouble, why did you still do it?" Kim asked.
"Because it is fun, and most of the time it was worth it. Besides it wasn't really fighting, just joking around." Tommy admitted.
Kimberly kissed him and lay down beside him. She rested her head on his chest and he put his arm around her. Tommy hated being back in his old house, but at least Kimberly was going to be living there with him. Tommy and Kimberly have still managed to maintain custody.
