"Miss Pompeo, you can go home" the doctor told her after being cleared by PT yesterday."

"Thank you so much doctor" she said

Patrick came with Ellen's big SUV. He took the biggest car where she had the most space and he needed to carry her in the car. She still couldn't stand on her own.

"I'll wheel you down my queen" patrick made some jokes

"Hmm.. sound good" she said flirty

He kissed her in her neck.

There were a lot of photographers waiting for them to come out. She wore her big sunglasses.

He scooped her up from her wheelchair and placed her in his car. He put the wheelchair in the back of the car and they drove away.

"You okay?" He asked

"Yeah, it was a bit overwhelming, what do you want for dinner? Can we call for food please?" She asked

"Fine by me, but let me guess.. you want Italian food?" He giggled

"You know me too well" she giggled back

They arrived at their house, the press was waiting outside so they drove in and waited till the gates were closed before Patrick got out and helped Ellen in her chair. While he was transferring her, the kids came outside.

"Mom!!" They shouted

"Hey sweety's" Ellen replied

"Katie you lost your bet! Mom asked Italian instead of Donuts!" Patrick joked while wheeling Ellen inside

"Damn.." Katie said

Ellen, Patrick, Katie and Mary had to laugh

"Can we call for donuts as dessert?" Ellen said

"I want the pink ones with sprinkles" Mary said

"That's a deal" Patrick said

Everyone was happy, their family was now complete.

It would be a difficult time but as long as they had the kids and eachother everything would be fine.

Patrick carried Ellen to the lounge where she could be supported by several pillows. Mary sat next to Ellen with her head on Ellen's lap which made her uncomfortable because she didn't really feel Mary's head on her legs as they were still numb.
