"Captain Strand. Good to see you're up." Dr Jacobs says walking into the room, Owen had just gotten surgery and his two kids we're next to him.

"It's good to see you, Dr. Jacobs." Owen smiles at her

"How you feeling?" She asks

"If I were in the game of Operation, I wouldn't have buzzed once." He looks at her

"Mm. Well, I am afraid to say you would have one time, unfortunately.' She says

"Is there a complication?" Y/n asks worried

"No, not a complication, exactly." She smiles at them and begins to explain "Just, during surgery, we discovered your tumor was larger than we anticipated."

"What does that mean Did you get everything?" Cap asks worried

"Absolutely. It just means that your recovery will take longer than we expected." She says waiting for his response

"So, six days instead of five?" Owen asks hopefully

"Uh, more like three to four weeks. " she chuckles at him

"Three to four weeks?  Owen repeats "Doctor, I can't be away from work that long. The taxpayers need me."

"Dad, I'm sure the taxpayers will understand." Tk tells him as y/n shakes her head at their dad

"Well, until your O2 levels return to normal, you will experience shortness of breath, fatigue, coughing."she explains "But the good news is all you need to do to feel better is to kick your legs up and relax."

"That's not good news for my dad." Y/n looks at her dad who looks like he just saw a ghost

"Well, either way, the takeaway here is it was a success. " she chuckles "Now, I will want to keep you overnight, but you should be good to go tomorrow."

"All right, well, thank you, Doctor." Owen smiles at her

"You're so welcome." She says walking out of the room

"Mm-hmm. Thank you." Y/n smiles as the door shuts

"Four weeks?" Owen asks "That's like two fortnights."

"Eh, don't worry, we'll find a way to pass the time. " y/n nods at him

"Oh, that reminds me. " tk turns and grabs a box "Carlos and I brought you something."

"You guys, you didn't have to do that." Owen smiles trying to unwrap it

"Oh, you can just take the lid off." Tk explains

"Oh. It's a puzzle. " Owen looks at it confused

"You hate it." Tk says upset

"No, I-I love it. Look it... I love poker and I love dogs, and I have both of them right here."he smiles at him "I haven't done one of these since I was seven."

"Yeah, 'cause you haven't sat still long enough to try one." Y/n chuckles

"And here's a tip: start with the corners." Tk tells him

"Oh. I believe this is for you." Y/n says grabbing her tablet that was getting a face time call from mateo she answers it and hands it to him

"Oh! There he is!" Judd smiles as he see's owen

"What up?" Mateo smiles looking up at the camera since Judd was holding it and was taller than him

"You guys are the best." Owen chuckles

"How you doing, Cap?" Judd asks

"That's a question for you. How you doing, Cap?" Owen says reffering to him taking his place while he was recovering
