Pausing just long enough to reassure Clara Williams that her son's condition had stabilized and although his condition was still critical, he was responding well to the antibiotics and was now on the road to recovery, Dr Mullins headed towards the doctor's office to make the necessary notations in his patient's chart.

"Doctor Mullins!"

He quickly turned at the nurse's behest as the nurse emerged from the patient's room and hurried across to where he was waiting. "Sarah, what's wrong?" he asked anxiously as he glanced over her shoulder back at his patient's room, afraid that he had missed something again.

Instantly reading her friend and colleague's fear that flittered across his face and aware of the guilt he was feeling about missing the injury to the patient's bowel during the initial examination after the plane crash and the partial liver donation operation that had led to the patient almost dying from sepsis, she quickly rushed to reassure him, "No, Brian, it's not what you are thinking, Danny's, umm, I mean Detective Williams is stable. In fact, we both know that his condition this morning is better than just stable, he's improving. But what the other nurses and I want to ask you is about the situation with Danny…" She hesitated a heartbeat as he looked back at her and frowned before she added a little nervously, "and Commander McGarrett."

Doctor Mullins's frown deepened in confusion, aware that sometimes he became so focussed on the patient's medical and surgical treatment that he missed other things happening that often happened right in front of him, "Situation?"

Taking a deep breath, Sarah rushed on, "Commander McGarrett's need to be constantly by Danny's side, even to the point of that he is neglecting his own health to do so. He has just undergone a liver transplant and shouldn't even be out of bed, himself, let alone spending hours in a wheelchair sitting beside his partner's ICU bed or escaping from his own room to-"

Brian nodded as he lifted up his hand to stop the nurse's nervous observations as his eyes lit up in sudden understanding, "And you want me to ban him from the unit, although I am not sure how we would be able to enforce such a ban with McGar-"

"No, no!" the nurse shook her head, surprising the surgeon, "In fact, we are thinking of doing the complete opposite. We were thinking that maybe it would be easier and the best solution for everyone if Danny and the Commander shared a room together again."

Staring at the nurse in shock that she had seemed to have forgotten just how critically ill their patient still was, Brian shook his head emphatically, "No! No way! Are you insane! Less than twenty-four hours ago, Danny was as close to death as anyone could be! He is far too critical to even consider moving him from the ICU. He has just been taken off the ventilator and only just started to respond to the antibiotics, for God sake! There's no way-"

"No, hell no, that's not we're suggesting," the nurse quickly cut him off as she grabbed the surgeon's arm, leading him across to the nurse's station before reaching for room chart that showed the ICU patient's rooms and occupied beds. Pointing to one of the empty step-down rooms that contained all the same equipment as the regular ICU rooms but also contained two beds instead of the standard one, she quickly explained. "We were thinking that it might be easier if we simply move Danny and the Commander both into the empty step-down room. This way Danny's not moved from the unit and there will be no interruption to his treatment and-"

"Commander McGarrett is getting the bed rest he desperately needs and is not constantly trying to escape from his room to sit with his partner." Mullins smiled, liking the nurse's suggestion as he stared at the bed chart.

The nurse smiled and nodded, "A win/win situation for everyone."

Looking back up at the nurse, the smile on Mullins's lips disappeared, "Of course if we do it, there will have to be restrictions placed on McGarrett's visitors. But even so, I guess it will only happen if both the hospital's administration and Danny Williams's family agree. I know that Steve McGarrett is listed as his Next-of-Kin, but I guess that was because Williams's family are on the mainland, but now they are here…"

The nurse's smile grew as she looked over the nurse's desk towards Danny's room before she looked back at Mullins and announced, "Well, it was Danny's mother who asked if it was at all possible, and I have already felt out administration about the possibility. They know the Commander well and said that if you and the rest of the nursing staff agreed, they had no objections."

Mullins gently placed his hand on the nurse's shoulder as he grinned, "So what are we waiting for? You get Danny moved into his new room and I will arrange for McGarrett's transfer back up to the ICU!"
