Hannah Karev had never been good at hiding or talking about her emotions. So instead of exploding on an already explosive situation, she does the only thing she knows how. Runs. And she eventually finds herself in the city of Chicago.
Hannah was scrolling through her phone in her hospital bed when she noticed Kelly approaching her room. "Hey!" she greeted him as she put her phone down "It's so good to see someone that isn't a nurse or doctor"
He laughed at her and took a seat in the chair beside her hospital bed "you gave us quite a scare back there Karev, thought we'd lost you" he told her softly "What did Dr. Choi say?"
"That I am extremely lucky" she answered him "he's very confused about how I had a near-drowning experience, was dead for a few moments, and managed to come out the opposite end completely okay. He was checking for lung conditions but thankfully everything seems fine" she told him and he nodded his head at her words "but he's ordered that I take two weeks off work"
"Two weeks off work is a lot better than almost dying Hannah" Kelly pointed out and she nodded, she understood how lucky she was and she didn't want to come across as ungrateful given those other firefighters who had similar accidents were all put on long term disability. "Did he say if you could still work your shifts at Mollys?"
"He kept repeating that I 'can not participate in any strenuous activities' so I think that means Mollys as well" she sighed defeatedly "how are you? I heard you were unconscious for a while?" she asked and patted his hand that he had rested on her bedside.
"I'm good. Boden sent me here to get checked out by Dr. Halstead and he gave me the all-clear" he told her and she smiled, happy that at least one of them could go back to work straight away "the guys are gonna stop by after shift, check on you"
"They don't have to, I'll be out in the morning anyway" she pointed out "I'll probably be discharged by the time any of them get here" she finished and searched his face, he was clearly exhausted "go home. Get some rest, I'll be okay here" she told him and he watched her for a few seconds to make sure she was being truthful "Go. You need the sleep more than I do"
"Okay. Do you want me to pick you up in the morning?" he asked as he stood from the chair.
"It's okay. Stella already called and said she was picking me up, said that she was going to stay with me for a few days at my apartment" he nodded and leaned forward, placing a tentative kiss on her forehead that made her close her eyes, he rested his head against hers for a minute before snapping out of whatever daydream he had found himself in and leaving the room, stopping at the door to give her one final look over.

"Alright, so I stopped by your apartment and grabbed you some clothes and your toothbrush because I wasn't sure if they actually gave out toothbrushes here so I just brought it anyways" Stella announced as she entered Hannah's hospital room "I wasn't sure if you wanted normal socks or a pair of those fluffy ones you like to wear so I just brought one of each," she said as she handed the bag over to Hannah "You don't have to take any medication right? Because I picked up some bottles of wine and Gabby and Sylvie said they might come over tomorrow night for a girls night-"
