The car ride home wasn't bad, Eddie slept the whole way home, with her head on Jamie's lap. He brushed through her hair with his fingers.
"Almost home," Danny said in the passenger seat of Frank's car.
Frank chose to drive them home, without his detail for privacy reasons. He didn't want to have all the officers in the car with him.
"Thanks Dad, Danny," he smiled at them. Danny looked back at Eddie, her whole stomach was bandaged. She looked so little. Her legs fit the length of the second row.
"She okay?" He asked in concern. "She looks like she barely breathing," Danny took notice.
Frank looked through the mirror at Eddie and back at Danny.
Jamie looked down at her. She was on her side, Jamie could see her chest moving up and down, but very slightly. "Yeah, she said it hurts to breathe at the hospital." He told the two of them. "I knew when we left she wasn't feeling good because she didn't argue with me when I told her that she's going straight home to bed," Jamie said.
Danny smirked.
"As long as she's okay," Frank said to him.
"She's okay," Jamie smiled thankfully, leaned down and kissed her forehead.
He was looking out the window when he felt her take a deep breath. He looked down at her and saw her moving.
"Hey," he said to her softly, "go back to sleep,"
She fluttered her eyes and started to sit up staright.
"careful," Jamie said lifting her up a little.
She sat up and placed her head on his shoulder, still not fully awake.
"We're almost home," he told her and placed another kiss on her head.
She yawned in response. "When we get in the house, im going to bring you straight to bed, okay?" He said gently.
"Mhmm," she didn't argue with him. She just opened her eyes and looked at Jamie.
"Does your head hurt?"
She lifted her head up slowly, "yeah, right here," she said pointing to the bump on the back of her head where she smacked it on the pavement.
He gave her a sad smile, "Alright,"
Danny turned around and looked at them, "5 more minutes,"
She smiled at him, "thanks Danny,"
"As long as you're feeling better, that's all that matters," he smiled.
Eddie was sound asleep on Jamie's shoulder when they reached their house. "Here we are," frank said as he turned the car inti their driveway.
Jamie looked over at Eddie and then back at Danny. "can you bring the stuff in the house, while I wake her up?"
He nodded his head, "it's just the bags in the back, right?"
"Yeah," he said while Danny closed the door to the passenger seat.
"Ed, we're home," he said quietly in his ear.
She started to wake up and stared at him and then looked around when she heard his voice, "do you want me to carry you in, or can you walk?" He asked her.
She turned her head towards him, "I can walk," she said still groggy.
Jamie opened the door and got out of the car first and watched as she was sliding on seat to the door. He put his hand out for her and watched as she closed her eyes in pain when she was getting out. He slid his hand around her waist and helped her down. He could see she got dizzy from the brightness of the sun and hoping down.
She fell into his arms as Jamie caught her, "woah, okay take a deep breath"
"I-I need to sit down," she said with her hand on her forehead. He walked with her in the house and turned on the light.
"Can I just stay here?" She questioned.
"You sure?" He asked.
She nodded her head and watched Jamie run upstairs to get a few things.
Danny walked over to the couch and brought her a glass of water and medicine the doctor prescribed for her. He crouched down and handed her the glass. "Take this," he told her.
Her hand was still a little jittery when she grabbed the cup. She seemed so fragile. Jamie came down stairs with a blanket and her pillow.
She felt her head heavy and her eyes flutter in exhaust. "I'm going to put the pillow under you, and then you can go to sleep alright?" He said.
He gently lifted her head and watched her eyes close in
"Okay," he commented quietly when he was down and gave her a kiss just before she fell back to sleep.
"She's totally out of it," Danny noticed while he was cleaning some of the dishes in the kitchen for them when Jamie walked in.
Jamie looked up at her sleeping figure, "yeah, I hate seeing her like this," he stopped and then spoke again, "when she's sick or hurt, it's hits her like a bus." He rinsed off the glass and put it on the drying rack.
Danny finished drying his hands and put the towel back hanging up. "Alright, I'm going to get going," he finished up. "Call me if you need anything, or if she needs anything." He told him.
"I will, thanks Danny," he dryed off his hands and walked him to the door.
He closed the door behind him and Jamie walked over to the couch and watched her sleep. She noticed his presence and opened her eyes. "You okay?" He asked gently while stroking her face.
"I want you," she told him softly. She lifted her body up for Jamie to sit down and placed her head back on his lap.
Jamie stared at her for a second, "is this comfortable?" He wondered out loud.
She leaned her face into his stomach, "yeah," she said quietly.
He brushed her waist line with his hand and watched as she fell back to sleep
