"Oui lass you need to settle down.

 It's going to be okay.

I just need to finish this examination.

it was so much easier while you were sleeping. 

Trust me, I'm enjoying this as much as you are .

Since your father is on board I have to do whatever he says.

Especially since he is an Admiral, lass this will all be over soon.

Though I had just awoken I found it difficult to not laugh at Yence's accent. I mean come one how he rolled his R's on every R. Who wouldn't laugh. I didn't know that Yence was also a doctor but feeling his tiny hands feeling me up I now knew he was. Don't you dare laugh at him! I know it's going to be hard but he's actually being nice. If you laugh at him who knows what that creepy little monster is capable of doing. Just focus and the minute he leaves we'll go look for Atticus. What did Yence mean our father was on board?!  "Yence, what do you mean my father is on board?" Attempting to sit up I could feel that some of my bones had not healed right. "Aye Admiral Chis lass, he arrived when we got you and Atticus back. Not very happy at all might I add. Your pretty boy co captain has been sitting right there too.  Refusing to move."  He pointed his tiny hand in the direction to where a chair sat. Dean sat there slouched over and sleeping with his arms crossed over his chest. "Atticus! How is he?!" Yence remained silent and ran his hand over my leg to tell exactly where the bone wasn't set right. "I want to know how Atticus Is!!" 

I reached up on my arm and was about to rip out all of the tubing to get away when a big hand placed itself on mine to stop me. "Your vitals are majorly getting way out of control.Cande you're at a very fragile state right now. So just relax until they get back to normal." Adrian gently placed both of my arms down and covered them with the sheet. "What's going on in here?! Why is her monitoring machine going off like crazy?" No, no, no! Not him! Anyone but him! Yence said who was here but why? WHY? He's going to be so pissed at us. Just do your innocent little kitten thing you do and we should be fine. "She just got worked up Admiral that's all. She's fine now." Chris made his way to the side of the bed I was lying in and grabbed my hand. He didn't look upset at all, more sad than anything. "Gentlemen give me a minute with my daughter."  They didn't need to be told twice to leave. Yence however was more eager to get out, I mean he shoved Adrian out of the way and bolted out.

"Where's Atticus?!" I asked hoping that Chris would give me the information I so desperately wanted. His silence and blank stare might of well have ripped my heart out. "No." I whispered placing my head in my hands and silently cried. "No, no, no my baby. Atticus he's alive ish. He's just not as well as he once was, I can assure you he's going to make it. You came as close to dying as you can by giving him so much of your blood in you broken state. Do you know how worried I got knowing that you went down there? And even more so when I was able to get communication back with the falcon and Yence tells me that they were doing everything they could to stabilize you? I left as soon as I could to be here. Do you know what a pain in the ass you can be. But if you weren't the way you were, you wouldn't be you. I'm not mad at you; not in the least bit." He smiled and gave my arm a gentle squeeze.

"Have you any idea how hard for me to be in here by myself. Despite your sleeping co captain over there? Mikaela is sleeping in the hall as is Aiden. When they saw me coming in Mika grabbed on to what she thought was my leg and said to come back for her. Look at you, my poor darling. In your time you have probably figured out that that whole incident was a set up. A reliable source has told me No man's land is where Koda calls home. So he must have gotten a hold of a distress light and set it off knowing that if you saw it, you would go down. I was half expecting him to surface with you being there." Remembering the badge I had ripped off I patted my sides looking for my pockets So i could give it to Chris. "Darling what are you looking for?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "I, I found something and I wanted to give it to you. To honor him, where are my pants?" "Dean I know you're not sleeping so get her, her pants." Chris called over his shoulder.
