A/N Thanks for reading and reviewing. :)
The next few days Jack was in and out of consciousness. The pain medication he was on was very strong and made him sleep a lot . He could only remember parts of when he was awake and remembered seeing Sue, Bobby and Lucy at his bedside. The following day Myles, D, and Tara came to see him. Mostly everyone in the bullpen were taking turns visiting Jack in between working on their most recent case.
The next day Bobby and Sue came to see Jack in the hospital. Jack was awake but he was very sore, since they had started to lessen his dosage of pain medication. He looked up just as Sue and Bobby walked into his room. "Hey, am I glad to see you guys."
"Hey Sparky, you scared the heck out of us. How are you feeling today?" Bobby asked.
"I'm okay, just sore." Jack tried to move but cringed at the jolt of pain.
Sue went to his side in a second. She adjusted his pillows for him. "Jack, you need to be careful. Do you know how worried we were about you?"
Jack smiled at her. "Thanks, It's nice to have such great friends." Sue swallowed at his words. How she wished they could be more than friends.
Bobby's phone went off and he got a text from D. "Hey, I'm sorry Mate but I gotta go. I will stop by later." He said. "Sue do want a ride back with me?"
"No thanks, I'm going to stay for a little bit. Lucy said she will stop by on her lunch so I'll get a ride back with her."
Bobby nodded and waved to Jack. "See ya Sparky."
Jack tried to wave back but it hurt too much.
Sue still at his bedside, placed her hand over his. "When did you get back from your trip?" Jack asked.
"A few days ago. That night when Lucy got home she told me about your accident. I was so scared Jack. I thought you promised me that you wouldn't scare me to death like that again?"
"I tried Sue. I wouldn't wish this on anybody, but I'm glad you're here. You know I don't like hospitals. The doctor tells me It will take about six weeks to heal." Jack said in frustration. Though Sue couldn't hear his tone, she read it in his face.
"Well you need to take it easy, because if you don't it will take longer to heal. I will help you anytime you need me, that is unless…." Sue didn't even want to think about her and she looked away.
Jack squeezed her hand getting her attention. "Unless what?"
"Unless Allie will be taking care of you." She whispered, her heart reflected in her eyes as she waited for his answer.
"No, Allie is long gone. She was all wrong for me, anyways she has a new boyfriend now. I would be very grateful for your help Sue, but are you sure? I was going to ask my Mom to come down."
Sue's eyes brightened at his answer. "I don't mind helping you out Jack. You've been there for me lots times, I'd like to return the favour. That is if your Mom doesn't mind."
Jack shook is head. "I don't think she will mind. She has her hands full with my Dad anyways. Thank you Sue."
"Sure, it's no problem." Sue smiled and Jack smiled back at her with their hands still clasped together.
