The environment in the hospitals waiting room was tense, very tense. While Maya stayed in a corner, on her phone, taking care of all the things that hadn't even crossed Sullivan's mind yet, the rest of the team was sitting silently, trying to find the words to talk with their Chief.

There had been no news about Herrera yet, and they didn't know if that was a good thing, or a bad one.

Sullivan wasn't crying, or eating, or drinking coffee like the rest of the team. God, they weren't even sure if the man was breathing.

"I don't know what I will do if... She won't survive to it; this is too much!"

The man finally spoke, whispered, surprising everyone around him.

"If anything, actually happens, which we don't know, Robert... she will blame herself, and it will be extremely hard, for both f you. You will think about that baby everyday of your lives and imagine what he or she could be. But the pain will stay there, no matter how much time passes."

Sullivan's eyes got wider, looking to the man beside him.

"Warren, I'm so sorry..."

"Don't apologize for making me think about my daughter. She is a good memory; nothing can take that away from me."

Robert did not answer anymore, he couldn't stop thinking about his wife, or the child she was caring.

"She was awake when she entered the hospital, Sir. She was awake and responsive; she was conscious and coherent. That's a good thing."

The Battalion Chief knew that, he knew that all of that was true. But standing there, sitting, without any news was killing the man.

Just as the man was about to stand up, to demand some information, Dr. Pierce and Carina walked in the room, walking directly in his direction.

"Robert, can you come with us, please? Andrea is awake, but she wants you in there with us, so we can all talk."

The man suddenly got more nervous and, without saying a word, got up, following the doctors.

The man's heart broke even more as soon as he walked in his wife's room; The woman was sitting in her bed, surrounded by wires, crying compulsively. All the man wanted to do was hold her, and tell her that, no matter what, they would be ok. She would be ok. But all the man could do, at that moment, was sit in the chair beside the woman's bed, holding her hand, caressing it with his thumb, while her doctor stood close to the couple.

Dr. Pierce was the first one to talk, saying that Andy had passed out only because of the lack of oxygen, that she had no other injuries. However, the doctor wanted to maintain the woman under some vigilance, and fresh air. She had got lucky in that aspect. Sullivan could only breath with the doctor's words. At least she was physically fine, she was safe.

Dr. Pierce stopped talking, after giving them all the information they needed, leaving the room, smiling. Carina then let out a sight, sitting at the bottom of the bed, putting her hand on Andy's legs.
