Two Weeks later

TK walks into the loft as he bites his lip, the movement causing him pain. He shuts the door and smiles when he sees the 126 waiting. 

"Hey, babe," Carlos says as he walks over and places a kiss on TK's cheek, "how was your meeting?"

"Helpful," TK says with a soft smile, "what are you all doing here?"

"Game night!" They all exclaim happily. 

TK chuckles as Carlos helps him sit down to prevent his ribs from spiking with pain. They begin the game, everyone forgetting about what happened just two weeks prior, and just enjoying each other's company.

Four weeks after he was found

TK is sitting on his couch as the television plays. He already went to his meeting for the day, and now he's just waiting for Carlos to get home from work. He's already done his breathing exercises for the hour, so now he's just bored. 

Carlos texts him any chance he gets. Some people might feel like he doesn't trust the paramedic, but TK finds it adorable. These texts mean the world to TK. After being reminded of how horrible Alex was, having someone care about him feels foreign, but welcome. 

Tk smiles as he hears the sound of keys outside of the loft. He carefully stands up and turns around just in time for Carlos to walk in the door. 

"Hey, how was your day?" Carlos asks as he greets his husband with a gentle kiss. 

"Boring. All I really did was go to a meeting and shower."

"How was the shower? Your last one hurt because you stood for so long," Carlos questions. 

"It was a lot better, actually," TK says with a smile, "how was work?"

"Slow," Carlos says, "I prefer being here with you."

"Oh, please, you love being a cop," TK says with a smile. 

"I do, but I also love being with you," Carlos responds with an even bigger smile as the two share a kiss.

Six weeks after he is found

"You didn't have to bring me," TK says as he walks hand-in-hand with Carlos. 

"I know I didn't have to, but this is a big deal," Carlos responds. 

The two walk through the fire house. They reach the kitchen, everyone shouting, "surprise!"

Everyone hugs him tightly, welcoming him back. Carlos visits for a few minutes but leaves when the paramedics get a call. TK kisses him goodbye before climbing into the ambulance, everyone watching as the vehicle rives away. 

"And he's back," Carlos says. 

"Yeah, and don't worry. It'll be a week or so before he's back off work from an injury," Paul says. 

"Yeah, I know," Carlos chuckles. 

"No matter what happens, we'll always find him, though."
