"Stay as long as you need to."
"Are you sure?"
"Adam, I'm fine. The hospital is fine. Jordi needs you."
"Have I mentioned how totally lucky I am to have such an understanding girlfriend?"
"Not today."
"Well I am."
"Give Jordi our love."
"Done. I love you."
"I love you too. And I have to go. Call me when he wakes up."
Adam tapped his phone off. He leaned in the doorway watching Jordi sleep. The local nurses were checking on him regularly and with the help of Isabella's translating he had reviewed Jordi's for himself. Adam knew the boy was fine but he also knew the dull roar in his stomach wasn't going to go away until he saw Jordi awake and talking to him.
Adam felt his hand buzz. He looked at the screen to see a message from Jackson. She was texting him every half hour. So much for her bad ass reputation. Adam grinned to himself.
Adam looked up from his reply to see Jordi stirring.
"Hey there." Adam dropped into the chair next to the bed. "Sleeping Beauty awakes. I thought I was going to have to get Jackson to come kiss you."
Jordi rewarded his terrible joke with a smirk. "Hey. Why are you here?"
"Dr Gutierrez called him, asked me to come down."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry about your grandmother."
Jordi nodded. "I kind of freaked out."
"I heard."
"It was embarrassing."
"Not really. How do you feel?"
"Tired. Numb. I don't know."
"I wish I could say I didn't know that feeling." Adam sighed. "Unfortunately it comes with the job."
"What now?"
"Dr Gutierrez wants to keep you here at least over night."
"Probably wants to give me a lecture about properly taking care of myself."
"Would you rather hear it from me?" Adam smiled softly. He knew from Jordi's expression that was as much of a lecture as he'd have to give.
"What about" Jordi paused awkwardly.
"Miguel, your nurse's husband, came to talk to me. He's your grandmother's cousin and her lawyer it seems."
"Yeah, he's Ramon's dad."
"Ramon?"
"He drove me to LA."
"Ah. Well he said he'd be happy to take care of arrangements, if you want."
"Okay."
"I'll give him a call then. And I'll Jackson and let her know that you're awake."
"Jackson?"
"Apparently Leo and Emma and the others found out what happened. Jackson wanted to know so she could tell them to stop worrying."
"So they could stop worrying?"
"uh huh." Adam winked. "And I guess I better tell the nurses you're awake."
"Thanks for coming."
"Always."
