So, it's been awhile since I updated this and I know it isn't very long, but I really wanted to get this up.

Antonio got to the cafeteria and saw Jen sitting next to John, who was drumming his fingers on the table, his right leg bouncing up and down. Antonio took out his phone, snapped a couple of pictures, and then went over to the coffee bar and poured himself a cup of coffee.

John watched him and shook his head. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

"Why would you think that?" Antonio asked as he walked over and sat down on the other side of his partner.

John shook his right arm, the handcuffs jingling a bit. "Well?"

Antonio sat back and rubbed his chin. "I'm wondering if we need to put you through a refresher course."

"You are all so funny tonight, aren't you?" John asked, rolling his eyes.

"Antonio has a point. That's twice you were outsmarted by thirteen-year-olds," Jen pointed out.

"They are unnaturally devious little creatures, which he helped raise," John said pointing at Antonio.

"Well, I'm not sure I want to free you with that kind of attitude," Antonio said, playing with his keychain.

"Fine, I'll figure it out myself," John said, standing up as far as he could. He put his hands under the table and started pulling it across the room.

Antonio started laughing when John got to the door but the table was too wide to pull through.

A cafeteria worker ran over to him and John quickly pulled out his badge.

"Don't you think you should help him?" Jen asked.

"Do I have to?" Antonio asked, still watching as John tried to convince the worker that he would return the table as soon as he retrieved his keys.

"Probably," Jen said.

"Fine." Antonio sighed and stood up. He started towards John, who was still arguing with the worker, and his cell rang. "Garcia," he answered.

"Honey, the doctor has the MRI results," Sylvia said.

Antonio's heart dropped at the sound of her voice breaking. "On my way." He went over to John, quickly unlocked the cuffs from the table, and then pushed past him.

"What's wrong?" John asked noting the sudden change in demeanor.

"Carlos' test results are back and Sylvia is crying," Antonio said as he ran for the elevator.

John looked back towards Jen, motioning for her to join them. Jen jumped up and rushed after her friends.

Once inside the elevator, Antonio kept pressing the button for the fourth floor. Jen reached over an took his hand. "It doesn't make the elevator go any faster."

He nodded and ran a hand through his hair. "I know. I just hate feeling so…"

"Helpless?" Jen asked.

He gave her a small smile and nodded. "He's already making plans for if he can't walk and I can't even bring myself to consider it."

"Carlos always sees the silver lining, it's his gift. I know he's going to be just fine, no matter what happens," Jen said hugging him.

"I know. It's Logan I'm worried about, he's going to blame himself." Antonio sighed.

"And that's Logan's gift, to care for and worry about everyone he loves. Alex will be here tomorrow and that will help," Jen said.

"I hope so," Antonio said as the elevator doors opened.

The elevator doors opened and they started for the boy's room. They turned the corner and saw Joanna standing in the hallway, an arm around both Kendall and James, who looked like they were going to cry.

Jo saw them and said something to the boys, who nodded.

They reached them and Jo gave him a small smile. "Sylvia and the doctor are waiting inside."

Antonio nodded. "Thank you."

"Everything is going to be okay," Jo said.

"I hope so," Antonio said as he went inside his son's room.

John stood in front of the other two boys, his arms crossed over his chest. "Well?"

"Sorry?" Kendall said, simply.

John arched an eyebrow. "Is that a question and is that really all you have to say for yourselves?"

"We're really, really sorry," James said, giving him a huge smile, as he moved behind Joanna.

John held out his hand.

Kendall pulled John's phone from his pocket and handed it to him.

John arched his eyebrow again. "Keys."

Kendall eyed the cuffs still hanging on John's wrist and shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Kendall," Jen warned, attempting to be stern as she hid a smile.

"He'll just handcuff us again," Kendall said, mimicking John's stance as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Because you keep running away," John pointed out.

"We just need to know that Logan and Carlos are going to be okay. We have to be here," Kendall said, his vision blurring a little as he remembered his friends lying in the field. Carlos' stillness and Logan's screams had overwhelmed him and he was determined not to be separated from them.

"Yeah, we have to be here, they need us," James said.

John sighed. "I promise I won't handcuff you again IF you promise to stay put."

"Not the cafeteria," Kendall stated.

"If you promise to behave we can stay in the family waiting room," Jen said.

"Does that work?" John asked the boys.

"As long as you don't try to lock us in," Kendall told him.

"Done," John said, holding his hand out to shake on the deal.

"We want to see them first," Kendall said. John nodded and Kendall cautiously took the offered hand and shook it.

"Now the keys," John said, holding his other hand out.

Kendall pulled the keys from his other pocket and handed them to him.

"Thank you," John said as he unlocked the cuffs from his wrist.

"Are we all happy now?" Jo asked, laughing at the indignant expression on John's face.

John saw a few chairs sitting along the hallway, two doors down. "Yes," John said, taking a firm hold of Kendall and James' arms.

"Hey!" James squealed.

"Just making sure everyone stays where they are supposed to be," John said as he pushed the boys into the chairs.

"You promised we can see them!" Kendall snapped, trying to pull away.

"And you will, as soon as Antonio finishes speaking to the doctor," John told him, taking the seat between the two boys.

Kendall rolled his eyes and huffed. "Fine!"

After a minute he looked over at James, but before he could say anything John placed a hand on each boys' head and turned them so they were facing forward. "Oh, no you don't."

"My hair!" James whined, trying to detach the man's hand from his head.

"Keep it up and I'll take you in for a buzz cut," John said with a smirk.

"You wouldn't!" James said, horrified at the thought.

John just smiled.

Antonio went into the room and saw both boys were sleeping soundly. Sylvia was talking to Dr. Matthews as they looked at the screen of a small laptop. Sylvia saw him and rushed over, wrapping both of her arms around one of his. She pulled him over to Dr. Matthews, who gave him a small smile.

"Well?" Antonio asked softly, almost afraid to hear the answer.

Dr. Matthews turned the laptop so he could see the screen. She pointed to an area on the screen. "Do you see this?"

Antonio looked and saw an image of a spine. "Yes."

Dr. Matthews pointed to an area on the lower part of the image. "This is the lower thoracic and upper to mid lumbar area of Carlos' spine."

"Okay…" Antonio said, not sure what he was supposed to be seeing.

She typed something in and another layer was added to the image. "This is the muscular tissue surrounding the area. Normally, it's the same density as the rest but there is intense swelling in the T11 and L2 area."

"Meaning?"

"It's temporary," Sylvia said, hugging him. She pressed her face into his shirt as she tried to hold back more tears.

Dr. Matthews nodded. "There are no fractures, no herniations, and no separations, so the once the swelling goes down, all sensation should return."

"So he'll be able to walk?" Antonio asked.

She nodded again. "I think so. However, every case is different and there is no way of knowing how long it will take. Some people recover in a few days, while others can take months to heal, but given his age and physical condition, I don't believe it will take that long. He's going to need plenty of bed rest for the next few days, as well as physical therapy once he's recovered enough."

"We can do that," Sylvia said.

"Yes, we can. Whether Carlos can do it is another question," Antonio said, kissing her cheek.

Dr. Matthews smiled. "It's going to be very important that he follow instructions. We don't want his recovery set back."

"He'll follow them," Sylvia promised.

"We'll figure it out," Antonio agreed.

"I know it's not easy for someone so young to stay still, and with any luck, it won't be for long," Matthews said.

"I hope not," Antonio said, thinking of all the things that could go wrong.

She patted his arm. "I'm going to start my rounds If you need anything, have the nurse call me."

"I will, thank you," Antonio said shaking her hand.

"You're very welcome. He is an incredibly sweet boy."

"Thank you," Sylvia said, shaking her hand.

"I'll be back to check on him later," Dr. Matthews said as she headed out the door.

Antonio went over to Carlos' bed and kissed his son on the forehead. "You're going to be okay."

"He is," Sylvia agreed, hugging Antonio's arm. "It's Logan I'm worried about."

"The doctor said his arm should heal fine," Antonio said.

She sighed. "After you left he woke up screaming. He thought Carlos had died and was saying it was his fault."

Antonio shook his head. "Poor Logan, this wasn't his fault."

"You and I know that, but convincing him is going to be something of a challenge," Sylvia pointed out/

"Jo said Alex is coming?"

Sylvia nodded. "He's catching the next flight out."

"Hopefully, seeing that Carlos is alright and having his dad here will help."

"I hope so, it was just an accident," Sylvia said as she tucked the blankets around Carlos.

"Yeah…we're going to have to keep an eye on Logan, though," Antonio said quietly as he went over to the other bed and made sure the blankets were tucked around the other boy.

"I don't think there is going to be a shortage of eyes. You know that Kendall and James aren't going to leave their sides," Sylvia said with a smile.

"That is very true," Antonio agreed. "Speaking of, we should let them say, goodnight."

"So, how was John?" Sylvia asked as Antonio walked to the door.

"It's hard to tell. He was definitely annoyed, but I think he was impressed as well." Antonio laughed.

"Those are our boys for you," Sylvia said, laughing too.

"Yes," Antonio said shaking his head as he opened the door. He looked over at Jen and Joanna, who pointed down the hallway. He saw John sitting in-between Kendall and James, holing their heads so they were facing forward.

Kendall saw Antonio out of the corner of his eye. "Papa G, can we see them now?"

Antonio stood in front of them and crossed his arms over his chest. "I don't know, you're starting to give my police department a bad reputation."

"Papi…" Kendall said, trying to squirm away from John.

Antonio laughed. "Alright, we're going to go in, you're going to say goodnight, and then you're going to go get some sleep."

"Mama K said we can stay in the family waiting area," as James finally got out of John's grip.

"She said IF you behave," John said standing and taking the teen's arm.

"We will," Kendall said as he finally got loose.

John reached for him but he quickly moved to the other side of Antonio. Antonio shook his head as he put his arm around Kendall's shoulders. "Okay, let's go say goodnight so we can all get some rest."

"Go on," John said, giving James a smile and a small push.

Antonio put his other arm around James and led the boys to their friends' room.

They went inside and Sylvia smiled. "Keeping John on his toes?"

Kendall smiled back. "It's not that hard."

Antonio cleared his throat.

"Well, maybe a little hard," James interjected with a smile.

Kendall rolled his eyes as he walked over to where his friends were sleeping. "Why can't we stay in here?"

"We won't be any trouble, we promise," James said, looking at Antonio hopeful.

"I'm sorry, Mijos, but there isn't anywhere for you to sleep."

"We can sleep on the floor," Kendall said.

"I don't think they'll allow that and the waiting room is only six doors down," Sylvia said, hugging him.

"But they need us," Kendall said quietly.

"And you're here for them. We'll let them know where you are if they wake up before you do," Antonio promised.

"They're really going to be okay?" James asked.

"Yes, the doctor said they're going to be just fine," Sylvia said.

"Carlos will be able to walk?" Kendall said softly.

"Yes, as soon as the swelling goes down, which means we're going to need help keeping him entertained because he has to stay quiet," Antonio told them.

"We can do that," Kendall said, smiling a little.

"I know you can, and that means you need your rest," Antonio said as he put his arm around their shoulders again.

Kendall sighed. "Okay."

"You'll really call us if they wake up?" James asked.

"I give you my word," Antonio said as he walked them to the door. "Goodnight, Mijos."

"Goodnight, Papi and Mami," Kendall said.

"Goodnight, boys," Sylvia said, giving them each a kiss.

"Night, Papi, Mami G," James said.

The boys, Jen, and John headed down to the family waiting area while Jo, Sylvia, and Antonio settled into the boys' room for the night.

A couple of hours later Logan whimpered in his sleep. Joanna woke up and squeezed his hand. "It's okay, baby, I'm here."

"M-Mom, w-where am I?"

"Sweetie, you're in the hospital, remember?"

"Not really, my head is thick," Logan said trying to sit up.

"No, you need to stay still. You dislocated your shoulder and they had to put it back in place," Jo explained, gently pushing him back.

Logan's eyes went wide as everything came crashing back. "Where's Carlos, is he okay, he was so quiet, he wouldn't answer! Oh, God, he's dead and it's my fault," Logan started sobbing.

Jo pushed the railing down an pulled him into her arms. "No, baby. Carlos is fine, he's sleeping in the next bed."

Sylvia and Antonio both woke up. Antonio went to the other side of Logan's bed. "Mijo, Carlitos is going to be fine. He's just sleeping."

"No, no, no," Logan cried, shaking his head.

A nurse came in and took in the scene. "Do you need the doctor?"

"I think so." Jo nodded as she tried to console her son.

The nurse got on the phone and had them put her through to Dr. Matthews, who said she would be right own.

A couple of minutes later she arrived and checked Logan's vitals. She asked the nurse to pull up a small dose of Valium and a few moments later Logan was sleeping again,
