Power Ranger Triad

Chapter 26

The guys stopped at the nurses' station and asked about Dr.'s Avery and Patterson and discovered that they were both in their offices. They called both Dr.'s and asked if they could speak to them and it was soon decided that they would all meet in Dr. Patterson's office. So about ten minutes later both men were in Dr. Patterson's office waiting to see both Dr.'s. As the nurse lead Jason and Bill back to Dr. Patterson's office the conference room door opened to not only Dr. Harland Patterson and Dr. Shannon Avery, but also Dr. Melissa Gaston.

"Welcome gentlemen, have a seat so we can discuss your upcoming trip." said Dr. Gaston with a knowing smile.

As Jason and Bill took a seat at the table they both looked at the three Dr.'s across from them. With the exception of the Universal Power Rangers and their parents these three knew almost as much about the Triad as anyone. Luckily only Dr. Gaston knew certain aspects of the Triads relationship, but they had a feeling that she had shared that information with the other two beside her.

"Well gentlemen, Dr. Gaston tells us that you two are due for your "time alone" trip." smiled Shannon Avery.

Jason and Bill both fidgeted in their chairs and turned beet red.

"Actually I think it's a wonderful idea guys." said Harland Patterson. "That way you two can have sometime alone and Danni can get the peace and quiet she needs."

"But Danni's just had two major surgeries and she was so worn out from just walking the halls earlier." said Bill.

"You would be to son if someone cut you open twice." smiled Harlan. "The best thing for her right now is to rest, and I hate to say this but without you two hovering around her."

"We get the picture Harland, but with everything that's been going on, and the babies and all." said Jason.

"How long do you plan to be gone?" asked Dr. Gaston

"We were thinking three maybe four days" said Jason.

"Then how about we compromise and give you daily updates by e-mail and maybe we can even have Danny write and tell you how she's doing too." said Dr. Avery

"If you can get her to do it that would be wonderful!" exclaimed Bill.

"Then why don't we mention it tonight when we talk to her" said Dr. Gaston. "I've a feeling she will probably bring it up."

"You can bet on it" said Bill with slight blush.

"Well then we'll see you both tonight when we make our rounds and discuss this further with the three of you." said Dr. Avery "Oh and by the way guys. Have fun, you deserve it too." giggled the Dr. as she rose from the table.

Jason and Bill watched as the two female Dr.'s left the conference room giggling together like school girls. Harland just sat and smiled watching the two younger men.

"You know their right don't you guys. The three of you share a unique bond, and I don't mean just the mental link either. It takes two very special men to share each other with another person let alone a woman. You two need to keep that bond strong, and if that means time alone away from Danni then I'm sure she understands."

"Are you sure you two haven't been talking before?" asked Bill. "That's the same thing she told us not long ago."

"I knew I like that woman for some reason!" said Harland with a snap of his fingers. "She's one smart cookie for a Time-Lord"

"Yes she is, and she's usually right too." said Jason.

"Then listen to her." said Harland with a smile. "I take it that you each have spent your time alone with her?" he asked becoming serious.

"Yes, mine was about a month ago and Bill and Danni had just come back when she got sick."

"Then I'm sure she knows how much you both love her, and now you need to show each other the same thing. Danni was right when she said you two are the foundation for this Triad. To keep it strong it has to be worked on like anything else."

"Your right of course we'll discuss it with Danni tonight" said Jason as he rose and shook the older man's hand. "Thank you for taking such good care of Danni, and us."

"My pleasure, Jas. You just take care of each other and I'll take care of Danni for a little while. She couldn't be in better hands."

"I'm sure you're right" said Bill as he shook his hand too.

When they left both Shannon Avery and Melissa Gaston came back into the room.

"Well, did you convince them?" asked Shannon as she came over to Harland.

"I think so, there going to discuss it with Danni tonight" replied Harland.

"About damn time! Those two are going to be the death of her if they don't watch out." said Melissa Gaston.

"They can't help it Melissa, there in love" said Shannon Avery.

"There's a difference between love and smothering Shannon." replied Melissa.

"I think they're figuring that out ladies, all be it slowly." said Harland "Considering everything that those three have gone through I think they're doing remarkably well."

"You're probably right, I'll bet we don't know even half of the whole story of those three." said Shannon as she looked out of the window and saw the two young men crossing the courtyard to return to the hospital.

Around six o'clock all three Dr.'s entered Danni's room to find Danni, Bill, Jason, Linda, Kevin and all three of the Cranston-Scott triplets in room. She was sitting up about half way in bed while Bill sat on the edge of the bed beside her. Jason, Bryan and Ian were in the middle of the floor trying to learn an easy kata while Kevin, Linda and Mackenzie sat in the chairs that were in the room. They stopped in the doorway and watched the family interaction for a few minutes and then knocked on the frame of the doorway.

"Hello, can we come in?" asked Dr. Gaston.

"Dr. Gaston! Look what dad taught us!" called Bryan as he tried and almost succeeded in doing the move.

"Thanks wonderful, Bryan!" exclaimed Dr. Gaston as she gave him a hug. "How are you feeling Danni?" she asked as she came over to Danni and Bill.

"Much better, Allison said you wanted me off the oxygen so here I am." said Danni as she spread her arms. She was now only hooked up to the heart and blood pressure monitor which meant that she only had two wires on her chest.

"Well according to your last vitals you're doing well. Heart rate is normal and blood pressure is slowly coming up. Any trouble breathing?" asked Dr. Avery.

"Nope, although my throat hurts a little." said Danni.

"Here let me take a look" said Dr. Patterson as he came over to her bedside and began to feel her neck. Danni flinched slightly when he touched the right side of her neck but mostly was still.

"Everything feels alright, I'll have the nurse bring you something for the pain and let me know if it gets worse." said Harland as he patted her arm. "Anything else?"

"Nope"

"Then I guess we can discuss the guy's trip." said Danni "Hey little ones, why don't you go see who is in the play room for a while huh?"

"Awwww Mommy, do we have to?" asked Ian.

"Come on Ian, they want to talk grown up talk. Can Janice take us down Dr. Harland?" said Mackenzie as she got up from Linda's lap.

"I don't see why not. How about you go and see if she's not busy and ask her." said Harland.

"Yeah! Come on guys, race you!" yelled Mackenzie as she ran out of the room.

"Don't run Mackenzie Kaitlin..." yelled Jason but he was sure she didn't hear him. "Sorry about that Harland" said Jason as he closed the door behind Bryan.

"Don't be Jason. I'm glad to see their comfortable being here at the hospital. So many kids just sit and mope when they have a parent that is sick." said Dr. Avery.

"Well you're certainly not talking about our kid's then." said Bill as he moved off Danni's bed and went to sit beside Jason. He had a feeling that they were about to gang up on the two of them and they would need each other's support.

"I've already told the guys that I think it's a good idea that they take some "alone time" said Harland. As he looked at the two men, both which had started fidgeting in their chairs.

"And I agree, so what's the problem?" answered Danni as she looked at them.

"Danni, you just had two major surgeries" exclaimed Bill.

"I'm in the best hospital in Angel Grove with an elite team of Dr.'s that were chosen by the Universal Power Rangers, Bill."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence, Danni" said Dr. Avery as she came over to the young woman's bedside. "She'll be alright guys, if you want we can send you daily updates on her progress."

"I'll let you know how I'm feeling each day. But not through the link. Each time we were alone separately we weren't linked, so it's only fair that it be the same for the two of you. Regardless of the circumstances" she added at their looks of astonishment "If something happens I will contact you through the comm badges, fair enough" said Danni as she looked at both men.

"No," answered Bill surly "But do we have a choice?"

"No, not really" answered Danni with a smirk on her face. "Either you two go on your "time alone" now, or sometime in the near future there is a good possibility that I hurt both of you. And I won't guarantee that the damage will be repairable."

"Danni...you wouldn't!" started Jason but at her look he stopped. "Alright, alright. Come on Bill, let's go decided where we're going" then he grabbed Bill's hand and pulled him out of room.

"Danni, you wouldn't have..." asked Dr. Gaston sheepishly.

"Of course not! But they don't have to know that."

"You're one wicked lady Danielle Cranston-Scott" said Harland as he came over to her bed. "When the guys decide where they're going let us know how to contact them"

"Actually you have two ways, either your comm badges or through e-mail. I'll give you the address"

"Sounds good, do you feel up to that shower now since the kids are gone?" asked Shannon. "I can get a nurse or Linda to help?"

"Actually can we wait a while," said Danni with a small sigh. "I'm feeling a little nausea right now"

"When did this start Danni?" asked Dr. Gaston as she came over and put her hand on Danni's forehead. She was slightly warm but not overly so.

"About ten minutes ago, it's just nausea though"

"Good, I'll have the nurse bring you some Ginger Ale and crackers and then let you rest." said Dr. Gaston as he gently patted Danni's leg and then left.

"You let us know if you need anything else young lady, understand!" said Harland as he patted her arm and then left.

"I'll be by again later in you need anything ok?" said Shannon and then left too.

A few minutes later Allison was back with her Ginger Ale and crackers and before she left took her blood pressure and temperature. With a smile and a pat she left closing the door as she left. Danni let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes.

"Danni?" asked Kevin as he came and put his hand on her cheek. Like father, like son. That was Bill's favorite gesture of concern for Danni.

"I'm fine Kevin, really. Just very tired all of a sudden." said Danni sleepily.

"Well eat something, then you can take a nap." said Linda "We'll watch the kids when they get back."

"Thanks guys" whispered Danni as she drifted off to sleep.

Linda smiled then moved the table away from the bed so she could lower the bed to a more comfortable position. When Danni was lying flat Linda straightened the blankets and then went over and turned the lights out.

"Sweet dream, angel" whispered Kevin as he kissed her on the forehead.

Jack and Linda went down to the children's ward playroom to get the kids for dinner while Kevin stayed with Danni. After dinner they went back to the Scott's house where the kids spent the night. Kevin stayed with Danni until Jason and Bill got back and then left himself for the compound. Jason and Bill spent one last night in the chairs in Danni's room and awoke to the sight of their wife watching them with a smile on her face.

"What's so funny, Danni?" asked Jason as he got out of the chair and came over and gave her a kiss.

"Nothing, just wondering what I did to deserve you two."

"Well I'm sure it was something good. Are you sure about us leaving Danni?"

"Jason Lee Cranston-Scott. Don't make me hurt you! I'd hate to disappoint Bill just before your "time alone"

"Alright, alright.! If you're absolutely sure" said Jason as he leaned down and kissed Danni again.

Just then there was a soft knock and cough at the door. "Damn!" whispered Jason as he broke the kiss

"Come in" he called as he moved away from Danni and went to pick up his sheet and blanket from his chair.

"Good morning, Danni" said the morning nurse Janice as she entered the room.

"Good morning Janice" answered Danni sweetly as she looked over at Jason. He had gathered up his sheet, blanket and pillow and was holding it in his arms in front of him. Danni sent Jason a reminder of a time they had spent together.

"Danni!" exclaimed Jason as he turned a deep shade of red and then headed towards the bathroom. A few minutes later they heard the shower start.

"How are we feeling this morning?" asked Janice. "Any nausea or dizziness?"

"Nope, I'm actually feeling pretty good this morning."

"I can tell, I didn't realize Bill was such a sound sleeper" said Janice as she looked over at him. Bill was still sleeping soundly in the chair/bed that was in Danni's room.

"Oh, there are only two things that will wake him." smiled Danni. "And I'm sure one of them is against hospital policy"

"Oh sweet one, you three are a pair!" said Janice as she patted Danni's arm. She had finished taking her blood pressure and was just about to take her temperature when Jason came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel. "Good morning, Jason"

"Danni!" exclaimed Jason as he retreated back into the bathroom pulling the door closed. "Why didn't you say she was still here?"

"You didn't ask" answered Danni sweetly through their link.

"It's alright, Jason. I'm on my way out." said Janice as she gathered up her equipment and left the room.

"Alright Jason, she's gone" called Danni as the door closed behind Janice.

"That was a dirty trick Danielle" said Bill sleepily as he opened his eyes and saw Jason just emerging out of the bathroom still wearing only a towel.

"What! It's about all I can do right now." said Danni with a grin.

"You do realize that you now owe me, right?" reminded Jason as he came over and kissed her again.

He then went to the closet and got out the bag that held their clothes. They'd started leaving clothes at the hospital after the second night Danni was hospitalized. Jason then retreated back to the bathroom but left the door partly open.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Add it to my tab. I'll gladly pay up when I get out of here" said Danni as she reached for the bed remote. She raised the bed until she was sitting about halfway up then stopped.

"Where have you two decided to go?"

"We found a place that rents cabins up in the mountains. We thought we spend some time up there." answered Jason from the bathroom as he dressed.

"Sounds nice enjoy yourselves and don't worry about me. I'll do everything the Dr.'s tell me to and I'll call you every day, promise"

"You had better" said Bill as he got up and gave Danni her morning kiss. "I'd hate to think I'll have to come back and punish you for being a bad girl."

"Yeah right! Like that's going to happen William Cranston" said Danni as she put her arms around his shoulders and pulled him towards her.

They were in the middle of a morning lip lock when there was another knock on the door. "Damn! What is this! A revolving door?" sighed Bill as he grabbed his clothes from the suitcase and then retreated to the bathroom with Jason.

"It's called a hospital, Bill. And they're only doing their jobs. Come in" called Danni as she heard Jason lock the door.

"Morning again Danni" said Janice as she entered the room with a medicine cart. "Where are Jason and Bill?"

"In there" said Danni as she nodded towards the bathroom.

"Now let's not do anything we shouldn't boys" called Janice. "Remember this is a hospital."

"We're not likely to forget with you out there and half the floor parading in and out, Janice." answered Bill then they heard the shower turn on again.

"Well I'll just give you your medicine and then leave you in peace. Sounds like you have some grumpy gusses in there" smiled Janice as she handed Danni the medicine.

"Oh that's nothing, you should hear them after a few days of no nookie. There almost unbearable" said Danni with a laughingly.

"We heard that Danielle Cranston-Scott!" called Jason from the bathroom.

"You were meant to!" called Danni back laughingly.

"Good lord girl, how do you stand both of them?"

"Oh they have they're benefits Janice." answered Danni with a sly smile on her face.

"We'll all I can say is better you than me sweet one. Now you rest, breakfast will be here shortly" said Janice as she left the room shaking her head.

She'd been on the floor when they were all brought up but this was the first interaction that she'd with the adult Cranston-Scott's. Since Danni had been transfer to this floor Janice had helped mostly with the kids. And now seeing their parents she understood where they kids got their personalities from. Bryan was just like Jason, Ian like Bill and Mackenzie was Danni through and through. Heaven help the three that Danni was carrying now.

About twenty minutes later Jason and Bill emerged from the bathroom, showered and dressed only to find Danni asleep again. They each kissed her on the forehead, gathered their wet towels and went out of the room to get some coffee. They returned with Jack, Linda and the Cranston-Scott brood in tow to find Danni still asleep.

"Shhhhhh... Mommy's sleeping again." said Jason as pushed open the door and looked in.

"Can we go see who's in the playroom until Mommy wakes up Dad?" asked Bryan.

"Sure, but come back as soon as they're finished with breakfast" said Bill as each of them gave their father a kiss and then ran to the elevators.

Jack pushed the door open and saw Danni lying on the bed with a slightly pained look on her face. "Jas?"

They entered to find Danni starting to thrash around and both Jason and Bill were quickly at her side.

"It's alright sweetheart, your safe now." said Jason.

"We're here Dan, its ok" echoed Bill as he stroked her forehead. After a few minutes she calmed down and went peacefully back to sleep. "She's been having nightmares ever since we mentioned that damn Veyeta computer chip. I wish we hadn't told her but she would've found out anyway sooner or later." said Bill.

"Well at least we know what's going on so we can watch her while you're gone." said Kevin.

"Thanks dad" said Bill "We're considering canceling our plans but that would've upset her more."

"Just watch her for us" added Jason.

"Don't worry, we will. You have told Dr. Patterson and Avery right?" asked Jack.

"Not yet, but we will before we leave" said Jason as he sat down in the chair beside Danni's bed.

About an hour and a half later there was another knock on the door and one of the food services ladies brought in Danni's breakfast tray. "Oh I'm sorry sirs, I thought Mrs. Cranston-Scott was awake" she said as she placed the tray on table.

"Don't worry she will be in a minute, I'll wake her up" said Bill as he rose out of his chair.

"Well then I'll just get the other two trays and be right back."

"Other two trays?" asked Jason.

"Yes sirs, Dr.'s orders. This room has three trays brought in for each meal. At least as long as Mrs. Cranston-Scott is here" replied the lady and then left to get the other two trays.

"Must be worried that we're not eating, Jas" said Bill as he leaned down and kissed Danni. "Wake up sleepy head, breakfast is here"

"And they should be," said Linda "I've seen the way you three eat sometimes."

"Hey at least we eat, which is more than I can say for Danni sometimes" replied Bill.

"I heard that Cranston" said Danni as she opened her eyes and stretched. "You're one to talk, a cup of coffee strong enough to eat through metal for breakfast."

"Good morning, beautiful" said Jack as he came over to her bed and kissed her on the forehead.

"Morning, Jack, Kevin, Linda. Where are the kids?" asked Danni as she looked around the room.

"Down in the children's playroom" said Linda "You were asleep when we got here and we didn't' want them to disturb you so we sent them down there."

"Thanks, Ahhhhhh, breakfast" said Danni as the two food services ladies reentered the room."

"Here you go everyone, enjoy!" they said as they placed the trays on the counter by the door and then left.

"Three trays?" asked Danni as she moved the bed to a semi sitting position.

"It seems that the good Dr.'s are looking out for us too." said Jason as he took one of the trays and sat down in one of the chairs.

"About time I got some help, you two are enough to drive a woman to drink." answered Danni as Linda moved her bed table over her lap and then raised the lid.

"Too bad you can't do that either" said Bill as he took the last tray and sat down in the other chair.

"Of course I can, It's just my preferred drink is coke" smiled Danni as lifted her drink. "Or Ginger Ale at the moment" and saluted them both then took a drink.

"Well eat as much as you can Danni and then if you're feeling up to it we'll see about that shower" said Linda as she watched the Triad eat.

Danni's appetite had never been really great before she got pregnant but since then it had dropped considerable. Linda hoped that since they'd finally figured out what was causing the nausea that maybe she would start eating better. She made it about halfway through her breakfast before she sighed and pushed her plate away.

"Finished, sweetheart?" asked Linda as she came back over to the young woman. Danni looked like she was just about to fall asleep again. "Do you want to try the shower now or wait for a while Danni?"

"Now I think would be better. The kids are out and Bill and Jas are still here, and you know how they get…" said Danni with a wind at Linda.

"I certainly do, like father like son" smiled Linda.

"I heard that Linda" said Jack.

"You were meant to Jack" answered Linda sweetly to her husband. Then to Danni she said "I'll go let the nurses know Danni" the she left.

A few minutes later Janice and another nurse entered the room and went to the bathroom to get it ready for Danni.

"Do you think you can stand sweet or do we need a seat?" asked Janice.

"I'd like to try and stand Janice" said Danni as she slowly threw back the covers and started moving towards the edge of the bed.

"We'll be with her Janice" said Jason.

"Oh I don't think….." started Janice.

"Don't worry, we'll behave ourselves, promise" said Bill as he raised his hand and smiled sweetly at her.

"Alright, but I want that door left open!" smiled Janice then she went over to Danni and started taking off the lead pads on her chest. "Sorry love, you take it nice and slow and behave yourself too young lady" smiled Janice as she patted the young woman's arm and then left.

"Awwww shucks Janice, your no fun" replied Danni with a smile. "Alright guys, who's getting wet."

"I'll let Jas, since it's his thing" smiled Bill.

"Yeah and we know what yours is don't we Cranston" winked Danni and Bill turned a deep shade of red.

"Uhhhhhh, do we want to know what this is about?" asked Kevin with a puzzled look on his face.

"Inside joke Dad" said Bill "And no, you really don't" he added quickly.

"Alright sweetheart, I think everything is ready for you. You ready to rock and roll?" asked Jason as he came in front of her.

"Yep, let's do this." said Danni as she reached out and grabbed ahold of Jason's arms and then pulled herself off the bed. She swayed for a second and then looked up at him smiling.

"You alright?" asked Bill as he came to her side.

"Yeah, just a dizzy for a second. Let's do this handsome, I'm ok, really" said Danni as she put her hand up to his cheek. He nuzzled into her hand for a second and then moved away taking her arm on the other side of Jason.

They made slow progress to the bathroom and by the time they were at the shower Danni had to rest against the wall. She leaned against the wall while Jason held her waist and Bill quickly took off her socks and sweatpants. Jason had taken off his shirt and pants but left his boxers on so while Bill untied Danni's hospital gown Jason turned on the water and let it run to get warm. After a few minutes he slowly guided Danni into the shower stall and let her lean against him as the warm water hit her body.

It had felt like it had been ages since she'd felt warm water on her skin and she sagged heavily against Jason as the warm water gently assaulted her body.

"Danni, you ok?" asked Jason as he held her waist. His mouth was right beside her ear and it was so tempting to start nibbling on her ear.

"I'm fine Jas, this just feels so good" moaned Danni.

"Well you better stand up a little or we're going to get in trouble pretty soon." whispered Jason in her ear.

"Wouldn't want that now would we." said Danni as she gently pushed off Jason and stood a few inches from him, but close enough for him to keep his hands around her waist.

"Can you wash yourself sweet one?" asked Jason "I don't think…." the memory of the last time they were in this position coming to each of them.

Danni could feel the instant response she got from Jason and turned her head to give him a quick kiss. "Don't worry Jas, I'll manage" said Danni then reached for the soap and shower puff they had brought for her.

Danni made quick work of her front while Jason held her by the waist and then he slowly turned her to face him.

"Ohhhhhh Danni….," moaned Jason but was instantly bombarded with images that stifled his passion.

"Thanks love, " replied Jason and then washed Danni's back quickly.

When she was rinsed off Jason had her lean facing the wall while he gently washed her hair, when it was rinsed he pulled her against him again and reached around to turn the water off. "We're coming out Bill," called Jason as he pulled the curtain back and then slowly guided Danni out of the shower stall. She made it to just outside the stall before her knees started to buckle and Jason and Bill had to caught her before she hit the floor. "Damn! Mom, could you have Dad and Kevin go get a nurse. Danni needs some help" yelled Jason from the bathroom.

"We're on our way Jas" called Jack and a few minutes later both men were out of the room almost running to the nurses' station.

A few minutes later Janice and another nurse entered the room quickly to find Jason and Bill holding up Danni in the middle of the bathroom. Neither man would let her go for fear of her falling so she was standing naked in the middle of the bathroom. Janice grabbed a towel and wrapped it quickly around Danni.

"Thanks Janice" said Jason has he let her go and grabbed a towel for himself.

Janice and Bill slowly walked Danni back into the room and sat her down on the bed where the other nurse wrapped a towel around her head.

"You dry off Jason, we've got her" called Janice as she began gently rubbing the young woman dry.

Jason stayed in the bathroom just long enough to dry off and redress then he was back beside Danni. By that time Janice, the nurse and Bill had Danni dried off and almost dressed except for her sweatpants which Bill was pulling over her feet.

"Danni sweet, can you stand while I pull these up?" asked Bill from the floor where he was kneeling in from of her.

"I think so" said Danni as she slide off the bed but her knees buckled and she started going down once again. "Nope, sorry. I guess not" she added as she felt Jason's arm grab her around the waist.

"It's ok love, I'll be done in a second. There you are, all dressed" said Bill as he patted her behind then kissed her.

"I'm feeling sick" said Danni quickly and Jason and Janice gently sat her back down on the bed. She sank down on the bed and then leaned back against the head of the bed closing her eyes.

"Deep breaths Danni," said Janice "Hold on I'll get the oxygen" then quickly reinserted and connected Danni's oxygen cannula. "Feeling better now?" she asked as she adjusted the flow.

Danni didn't answer but only nodded, Janice slid her legs onto the bed and then covered her with the blanket. After checking her blood pressure and temperature Janice slowly lowered the bed so Danni could go back to sleep.

As she left the room Bill and Jason quickly caught up with her. "Janice, is she alright?" asked Bill with great concern in his voice.

"She's fine, Bill" smiled Janice. "Remember that is only the second time she's been out of bed for an extended time since her surgeries. She'll gain strength as she heals, and will be able to spend more time out of bed. Now go say you're goodbyes' to your wife and go on your "time alone" trip. You two need it badly" said Janice with a smile and then left the room.

"Is nothing private!" exclaimed Jason as he looked at his mom.

"This is a hospital Jas," said Linda "There is very little that is private around here".

"Well it's a good thing we were good in there then," said Bill.

"I'm sure it was only because Danni had something to do with it." said Jack. "It's already all over the hospital that you two have been allowed to sleep in her room".

"Can you imagine what the talk will be when they found out you helped your wife in the shower?" added Kevin with a smile.

He normally didn't tease Bill about his private life but since he'd formed the Triad with Danni and Jason he'd become a lot more open about his feelings and comfortable with his sexual preference. Danni was good for both men, since meeting her and forming the Triad both men had blossomed into warm and caring men and wonderful fathers.

"Oh gods Jas, I think it's time we make a hasty retreat." said Bill as he pulled Jason back towards Danni's bed. She was sleeping lightly and so peacefully that they gently woke her with a kiss from both of them.

"Danni honey, wake up." whispered Jason softly. "I think it's time for us to go".

"Go? go where?" asked Danni sleepily as she opened her eyes to look at both men.

"On our trip, remember?" said Bill. "Jas and I are going to spend some "time alone" in the mountains".

Danni smiled and murmured "Oh yeah, I remember. Have fun" then slipped back to sleep.

"Well, that's that I guess, remember to watch for her nightmares, and don't let her..." started Bill but was pulled out of the room by Jason who quickly added. "Thanks guys, see you soon."

The adults watched with smiles on their faces as the two men walked down the hall discussing they're abrupt departure. Linda went over and turned on Danni's computer, starting her Classical music collection to play, turned off the lights then went to read on the couch.
