TOM

It has been since Jane was admitted to the hospital. She had passed out due to lack of oxygen, just like you thought. She was admitted immediately and spent 24hrs attached to her bi-pap. The next day she woke rather confused, but overall felling better. The abundance of antibiotics already kicking in.

Dr. S was pleased with her surprising improvement and was confident that she could continue the IV's at home.

You were packing and Jane was on the phone with Sophie, asking dozens of questions about Christopher. Ben had informed you that they were getting into a routine and loving every second with the baby.

Once Jane was off the phone she signs the discharge papers and you wheel her and the luggage out to the car.

As soon as she is outside she takes a deep breath and smiles wide. "Mmmmm fresh air!"

You get home and begin setting up everything for IV's, Jane watches you for a moment before standing on wobbly legs and shuffling off towards the kitchen.

"What do you need, darling?" You ask from the living room. She turns to you and gives a little smile. "I want to cook you some dinner."

"Are you sure that's such a good idea? I figured we'd just order in tonight." You say with a hint concern in voice.

"Tom, I want to try. You're always doing things for me, I want to cook you some dinner." She says with determination before continuing her trek to the kitchen.

You sigh with an uncertain smile and carry on with setting up her med supplies. You can't imagine how it must feel to not be able to do anything, and you understood her desire to do something for you, but you were not just worried if she were able, but how hurt she would be if she tried and failed. That would absolutely crush her.

You remain in the living room busying yourself but constantly looking over to see how she was doing. Her struggling didn't seem to be too bad, but you noticed a difference. She seemed to be making a soup of some sort.

Soon enough you were done setting up and wandered over to the kitchen. "Well, I'm finished setting up all of the supplies. Do you need help with anything? How are you feeling?"

She turns away from the pot on the stove and gives you a weak smile. "I'm doing alright. Dinner will be a half hour or so. Why don't you go pick out a movie for us to watch while we eat?"

You nod and turn to the living room, knowing full well she wasn't going to let you help her. You pick one of her favorites, "Pretty Woman" and then head to the bedroom to get some things ready for a quick shower.

You shower at the speed of light, not wanting to be away from her in case she should need you, but you know if you sit and hover anxiously she will get upset.

Once out you go to the kitchen and notice her pouring soup into bowls. The house smelled lovely. "Mmmmm smells delicious, love. What is it?"

"Broccoli potato soup." She says with a tired grin. You can see she is exhausted and you help her to the couch and then go back for the food.

You hand her bowl of soup and dinner roll and sit beside her, watching her carefully. You give her kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much, Jane. This looks great."

She just gives you a smile and then turns to eat and you start the movie and then do the same. It truly was delicious, after a few minutes you turn to compliment her only to find her fast asleep with her bowl in her lap.

You take it from her and take it to the counter, turning up her oxygen before returning to the couch. You tuck the blankets tightly around her and finish your soup before it's time to start her IV's.

JANE

You've been home for a few days now and still feeling better so Ben and Sophie were bringing Christopher over for a visit. You were so excited to see them again, you haven't seen them since you were admitted tot he hospital.

Tom was unhooking your IV when there was knock on the door. "Come on in!" You shout from your spot on the couch.

Ben and Sophie came in, carrying a sleeping little Christopher. Tom was done and both stood to give hugs, you feel a little dizzy once you stand and sway, Tom steadies you and looks at you with concern.

You give him a look that says you're ok and then walk over to give them each a hug. "How are you feeling, dear?" Ben asks as he bends down to give you a gentle hug. "I'm doing ok. How are you doing papa Cumberbatch?"

He gives a chuckle before answering. "I love it. And I haven't done anything terribly stupid yet so I'd call it a win so far."

You smile at him and then make your way towards Sophie and Christopher. Giving the baby kiss on his head before embracing Sophie in a tight hug. "I've missed you!"

"I've missed you, too. I'm glad you're feeling better." Sophie says as she pulls away. Still feeling a bit dizzy, you sit back down and pull your blankets back over your lap. Ben and Tom sit in the chairs across the room, giving you and Sophie the couch. She sits next at you and looks over. "You want to hold him?"

You nod quickly and hold out your arms excitedly, she carefully passes him over to you, gentle so as not to wake him.

You spend time quietly catching up, learning all the little things Christopher has done and looking at countless pictures. Every so often you find yourself tuning out and just getting lost watching the beautiful baby in your arms.

At some point you fall asleep, you're not sure how long you're asleep but a strange noise wakes you up.

You open your eyes to see Ben, Tom, and Sophie staring at you, eyes wide.

It takes you moment before you realize what the noise is and where it's coming from.

It was a beeping noise, and it was coming from your pager.
