"Bishop?" Asked the nurse "Bishop" he repeated as she shook her a bit
Kate's eyes shoot open and the first thing she did was to look at her hand. Still there. Still there. She caught her breath again. Her hand with in a splint surrounded by gauze.
"Bishop. You're emergency contact is here" he said
"How long was I out?" Asked Kate
"Your hand was operated last night. The surgeon will come talk to you. Do you want me to get your contact in?" He asked
Kate was still confused. Didn't understand a thing. But nodded anyway. Her eyes did closed in seconds until she heard the familiar voice. "Hey princess"
Kate eyes shoot open again and he saw him, standing next to her. Jake.
She instantly clanged to his neck to hug him.
"You're here" she Whispered
"How could I not?" He said hugging her tightly.
"I love you" said Kate not letting go
"I never stopped or will stop loving you" whispered Jake
"You're taking me home?" Asked Kate
"Where you belong" smiled Jake "Callie is waiting for you... she's got a plan. She's gonna fix it"
"I can't feel my hand Jake. It's like if my left hand was gone" Kate said
"It's not. Okay? It's not gone. The surgeon said he was able to save the nerve and Callie, she'll be able to place it back and it's going to work Kate" he said
"When are we leaving?" Asked Kate
A women walked next to them
"So this is Jake?" Smiled sam and shook Jake's hand
"Heard so much about you" she smiled
"They didn't cut it off" smiled Kate
"Over my dead body." Smiled Sam "we've got everything ready for you"

After discharged Kate got dressed as military level one. Camouflaged pants. Military green shirt and armed up in her belt. No way she had to even do migration at the airport and she'd be in Seattle ASAP. They both got into a car and would do a 3 hour drive till the airport.
"Look at you laughed Jake" as he got Kate's bags.
"Not used to this kind of heat?" Asked Kate
"Your heat or the weather?" Laughed Jake
"Get in the car" laughed Kate
"hurts?" He asked pointing at her hand
"Nope, meds are quite up still" she answered and Jake started te engine and Kate said goodbye to her troupe.
"Ready?" Asked Jake
"Never" smiled Kate
After an hour driving Jake realised it was time to break the news. Wouldn't be a good idea for Kate to get home and receive all that info at once.
"I need to tell you something. I need you not to freak out." He said looking at her
"Okay?" She smiled "not sure what could make me freak out now" she said looking at the splint in her hand
"Just. Breath. And I'll tell you" said Jake and Kate did so
"Your mom. Carina." Said Jake
"Jake what?" Asked Kate getting worried
"Carina is pregnant Kate." He spit out "she's five months pregnant and the baby, has a cardiac condition" he finished
"The car..." muttered Kate
"What?" Asked Jake
"The car, pull over. Pull over the car" said Kate and Jake did so. She jumped off the car and was sick.
"Kate" said Jake and she got back into the car
"Just. Let's drive" she said holding her head "so, she's pregnant?" Kate asked
"Yes" assured Jake "she is"
"How far along?" Asked Kate
"Five months" Jake said
"When I left for Iraq" she said cleaning her tears
"Yes" assured Jake
"And the baby is sick?" Asked Kate
"Not sick. But has a condition. He or she will be operate as soon as it's delivered" explained Jake.
As they got to the airport the conversation vanished away. Kate was still shocked about everything.
As expected as Kate was dressed as military grade one they both did migration in seconds and they were on the plane. After five months back home. In 14 hours she'd be seeing her moms again.
