Returning to the Hospital, Ken headed right towards Patty.
"Patty... did you say Andrew was looking for me?"
"Long ago, you took off, said you didn't care, cause you were on suspension."
"Never mind that. Where did he look for me?"
"He didn't. After asking, he headed into the lounge. When he came back out, he went into the washroom. Why so many questions?"
"Doesn't matter. Thanks."
Heading into the washroom, he searched each stall. Finding nothing he checked the garbage. Sure enough, there was the cassette tape wheel, but no tape.
"Son of a bitch... Andrew."
Storming out of the washroom, he headed towards Mac's room, to see if Andrew was there. Staring into the room, he found Mac and his wife sound asleep. Turning to leave, he ran into MJ.
"What the hell are you doing in my grandparents room? Security." He called.
When Security came to the room, they escorted Ken from the Hospital.
"You can't do this. I work here."
"We've been given strict orders to keep you out. Here's the report. Tomorrow morning at 10am, is your board hearing. We've been asked by
the Cheif of staff, to escort you too and from the board room."
"This is bullshit." Getting into his car, Ken took a deep breath as he said...
"Tomorrow it will be you and I Andrew. Face to face, no one will be able to help you then."
Screeching his tires, he took off.
Running into the ER with Kat, Lindsay called for help.
"Someone help me, hurry, my sister."
As the doctor ran out, he took the baby into his arms, and checked the
airway.
"She's burning up. How long has she been like this?"
"I"m not sure. She woke up crying. When I checked her temperature it was 103.2, is she going to be okay?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'll know more soon."
Following the doctor into the room, Gray waited outside for Danny and Natalia.
"Gray... where are they?"
"In Room 4, with the doctor."
Running into the room, Natalia seen her daughter drinking from a sippy cup.
"Kat... oh God... how is she, doctor?"
"She's going to be fine. She has mild case of strep. We've given her some
Motrin, and we'll give you a perscription for antibiotics. You can follow up in seven days with your doctor."
"Thank God. Oh Kat, come to mommy. You're so hot baby. Lindsay, are you doing okay?"
"Yeah... I was more worried about Kat. One minute she was fine, then she started crying and wouldn't stop. When I took her temp it was 103.2, so we brought her here,"
"I'm so proud of you Lindsay. You're such a wonderful big sister."
"Thanks mom. I"m sorry I had to call you and daddy away from your evening out."
"Don't be sorry. It was boring anyway. We were looking for an excuse to leave."
"Mrs.Messer? Here is the perscription."
"Thank you for everything."
"Don't thank me. It was your daughters quick thinking. Take care."
Once the doctor left the room, Nat, Danny, and Kat headed home.
"Are you coming Linds?"
"Yeah... go ahead mom, I'll meet you in the car. Gray, I'll call you tomorrow. I"d really like to go home with my sister. Just to make sure she's okay. I love you."
"That's fine Lindsay. I understand. I"ll be the same when mom and dad have their baby, and I love you too."
Kissing each other goodbye, they parted their seperate ways.
"Patty... did you say Andrew was looking for me?"
"Long ago, you took off, said you didn't care, cause you were on suspension."
"Never mind that. Where did he look for me?"

With Ken now removed from the building, MJ still couldn't sleep. Something was making restless. He just couldn't put his finger on what it was. Leaning his head on his hand, he felt her touch. Massaging his shoulders, he sighed.
"Melina... I've been looking for you."
"I know you have. Three different nurses informed me, that some distraught young man was looking for me. So what did you want me for MJ?" she whispered against his ear.
"I wanted to coax you back into my arms."
"Well I'm on a half hour break. Shall we go for a walk?"
Heading up to the roof, Melina put the block in the door, so they wouldn't get locked out.
"Wow... I never realized how beautiful Miami scenery is from up here."
"It is. This is where all the doctors and nurses come, when they want to play."
MJ laughed. I always thought, that was just on the Soaps."
"Are you kidding. You are standing on Miami-General Cheaters Hospital. We have doctors that play with the nurses. Nurses that play with the orderlies. You name it, we have it. You'd be surprised how many doctors play around on their wives. Beautiful wives too. I just don't get it half the time, why do people feel the need to cheat?"
Thinking back to his father and Lea, Melina noticed the sadness in MJ's eyes.
"Oh I"m sorry MJ. I completely forgot."
Walking towards the edge, he looked over as the morning sky just started it's rise.
"I guess it still hurts Melina. I mean... you think you've found that perfect someone to share your life with. Your dreams, and future children. You build that together in your minds, then all of a sudden you find out the woman you've loved, isn't in love with you, she's in love with who you remind her of."
"You know... I'm not going to say I know how you feel, cause I don't. No one does, or can. But what I can promise you, is that I will never cheat, lie, or think of you, as someone else. That I can give you MJ. That and my love I've felt for you since our sandbox days."
Pulling on her hair, he wrapped his fingers in it, pulling her towards him. Leaning down, he softly, tenderly kissed her lips. So soft, that all that could be heard, was Melina's sigh, as it reached all the way to her toes.
Deeping the kiss, MJ got down on his knees, looking into her eyes. Seeing the same passion, that was burning in his, pulling her right against him, feeling each other, as they knew neither had to be gentle. For both were knowledged in the arts of making love, her beeper went off.
"Shoot... I have to take this MJ. You should get some rest. I'm sure in a few hours or so, I'll be seeing your dad for his first session. Oh... before I go... I take it he's very stubborn, right?"
"Yeah...he laughed. You'll have your hands full."
"Good... I like a challenge. I may be tiny MJ, but I pack a huge stubborn streak myself. So... we'll have battle of minds."
Giving him one last kiss, they parted ways, with MJ's only thought being... "this is gonna be good."
"Melina... I've been looking for you."
"I know you have. Three different nurses informed me, that some distraught young man was looking for me. So what did you want me for MJ?" she whispered against his ear.
"I wanted to coax you back into my arms."

When he got to the room, he found his grandfather trying to sit himself up. Looking around he couldn't find his grandmother anywhere.
"Excuse me... Mac Taylor?"
"No... that's my grandfather. You must be his Physio therapist. You may want to get over there, as he's trying to get out of bed."
"Mr.Taylor... please lay back down. I have some equipment to bring in before I help you get up."
Mac was being stubborn this morning. He didn't want to wait for the therapist. He was determined to get up on his own. As he pulled himself up into a seated position, he fell back. Getting angry, he tossed his stuff off the little table, and tried again.
"Mr Taylor... you need to calm down please. We're going to get you out of bed. You need to be patient."
Giving in, he collapsed back on the bed.
When his grandmother came back in, the first thing she noticed was her husband frustrated.
"MJ... what happened son?"
"Papa was trying to get out of bed, when the therapist came in and told him to wait."
"Hey honey. I spoke to Andrew, and he said it's fine for you to have semi soft foods. So I got you a nice buttered bran muffin, oatmeal, coffee and juice."
Attempting to pick up the spoon, he got it as far as the oatmeal, before dropping it. Reaching for it, Stella helped him spoon some up, while holding his hand, guiding it into his mouth.
Coming back in the therapist seen him eating.
"Are you almost done there Mr.Taylor?"
Stella looked at her with rudeness. Mac had just started his breakfast.
"He's just starting. You're not supposed to be here till nine."
"I'm early Mrs.Taylor. I have alot of patients, thanks to Ken and his suspension. So the faster we get started, the better."
"Look... I'm sorry you have an extra caseload. But that gives you no right to come in here, and rush my husband."
"I know that Mrs.Taylor. There's no need to be hostle. I'm just trying to help you understand my need to get started."
As Stella went to say something else, Mac gripped her hand, shaking his head no. Pushing the tray aside, Mac was more determined then ever, to get the hell out of that Hospital.
"Okay Mr.Taylor... if you could place your hand on just the one bar. Good... now I need you to try and pull yourself up. can you do that?"
Trying to push himself up, he felt his kness collapse. Sitting back on the bed, he sighed.
"Let's try again Mr.Taylor, okay?"
Grabbing the bar again, Mac pulled himself half way up, then fell back down on the bed. Slamming his fist against the bed, he closed his eyes, and tried to stay strong.
"Okay Mac. Why don't we rest for today. If you could lay back down. I'll show your wife and grandson how to massage your legs. This will help loosen those muscles you haven't used in a while. I"m sure once you get that cast of your other arm, we'll be able to get you more mobile, as you'll have more balance."
Mac refused to lay down. Placing his hands on the bar again, he pulled himself up and fell onto the floor. As MJ, rushed over to pick him up, he pushed him away. Not accepting any help, he pulled himself back onto the bed with his good arm. Once back in bed, he stared at the light. No longer wanting to hear, or feel anything his therapist was saying to his wife.
After the therapist left the room. Stella tried talking to her husband.
"Mac... I know it's hard not being mobile. But you need to remember your motor functions are going to take a while too return. Your skull took quite an impact. Front and back."
Still not looking at his wife, he closed his eyes as Melina walked in.
"Good morning Stella, MJ, and how is Mac this morning?"
Opening his eyes Mac seen the tiny package in front of him. Then he looked at his grandson who could stretch to touch the celing. Then back to Melina, as he sighed and shook his head. Melina and MJ laughed at his grandfathers confused face. They knew what he was thinking.
"Hi Mac. You remember me? I was the one who talked to you while you slept. Think back, I'm sure you'll remember. Anyway... should we get started on your speech?"
Shaking his head no, he closed his eyes.
"Oh well... I'm your therapist, and I say we are. MJ... please lift your grandfather into the chair the therapist left."
As MJ went to lift his grandfather, he pushed his hand away.
"Just lift him MJ, he has one arm, you have two. I need him in the chair.
He can be stubborn all he wants when I'm gone."
MJ had never seen this side of Melina. She was like a little General, commanding her troops. Picking his grandfather up, he sat him in the highback chair.
"There you go, how's that?"
Given his grandson, his most pissed off look for defying him, he backed away smiling. Poor Stella wasn't sure what to think. Though she had to admit, Melina sure showed no fear when it came to Mac's intense glares.
"Now... let's being, shall we? This is called a magnetic word board.
Everytime you think of something to say and can't, you will find the word, and click it onto the board. Then your wife will know what you need or want. Let's give it a try. Choose some words.
Looking on the table Mac took the word "no". Placing it on the board Melina laughed.
"See... you learn quick Mac. Shall we try something else?" Melina knew Mac was testing her, trying to see how far he could push, before she'd give up. Problem was... she was just as stubborn as he was.
"Let's try some sounds. Here's a list of two letter words. I want you to try and speak each word, even if it comes out as garble, I still want to hear it, understand? Ma...Ma. Now you try Mac."
Trying to get out a sound, nothing came.
"Okay... you really need to push the vocal chords Mac. Go deep down, and force anything out, I'll take any sound or word."
Pushing himself to bring out a sound, he managed to say, "aaaah."
After a few more exercises, Melina said...
"Good job. I'm going to leave you these two letter word exercises to practice with your wife, and the word board so you can both converse. I"ll be back tomorrow morning to do it all again. Okay?"
Smiling she got up, and kissed his cheek. Followed by MJ's lips.
"My shift is finished MJ, did you want to go for breakfast?"
"Sure...I"ll meet you in minute, just let me put my grandfather back into bed."
Looking at his grandfather, he shook his head no.
"You want to stay sitting Mac?"
Looking at his wife, then the words, he picked out, "yes."
"Alright then, I'm going to go get us a coffee, and muffin."
Leaving the room Stella smiled, as she though... "Oh yeah... Melina was going to make a great addition to their family one day."
"Excuse me... Mac Taylor?"
"No... that's my grandfather. You must be his Physio therapist. You may want to get over there, as he's trying to get out of bed."
"Mr.Taylor... please lay back down. I have some equipment to bring in before I help you get up."
Mac was being stubborn this morning. He didn't want to wait for the therapist. He was determined to get up on his own. As he pulled himself up into a seated position, he fell back. Getting angry, he tossed his stuff off the little table, and tried again.

lol I wonder if she will.
I hope his legs loosen up. I like how you're adding in ways of explaining things. I know it doesn't take long for weakness to set in. A couple days being sick makes me wanna go "ughhh" lol. It's hard to imagine using muscles again after laying down for several weeks.

Thanks for the reviews, you guys ROCK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the room now quiet Mac seen his doctor walk in.
"Morning Mac. I have a board meeting this morning on your family's behalf. Is there anything you would like me too add?"
Picking up the word "no", he applied it to the board, as he looked up, he seen Ken coming towards Andrew. Warning Andrew with his finger, he turned in time and seen the surgical knife in his hand. Tackling Ken to the ground, they began struggling with it. Flipping him over, Ken had the knife to Andrews neck, ready to slice.
Using all his strength, Mac slid down to the floor, and crawled over on his good arm, and side. Nearing Ken, he pulled himself up as much as he could, wrapped his casted arm around his neck, choking him into unconciousness.
Getting himself up, Andrew seen Mac struggling to breathe. Pulling Ken off him, Andrew called security, then the Police.
"Oh my God... what happened here?" yelled Stella.
"It's okay Stella, your husband saved my life."
Stella looked at Mac, struggling to pull himself back up into his chair. While she helped him, Don, Danny and Eric came in.
After they had Ken in custody, Andrew checked Mac's blood pressure, pupil dilation, and heart rate.
"How are you feeling Mac? How's your arm?"
Reaching for the words, he spelled out... "it is fine."
"Good... I"m going to have the orderly come get you for that x-ray, hopefully we can get that cast off your arm. Thank you, for saving me."
Spelling out "you are welcome," Melina and MJ, came running through the door.
"Daddy... oh daddy, are you okay?"
"Shh... I'm fine Melina. Mac saved my life."
Walking over to Mac, she kissed his cheek again, over and over. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," she kept repeating.
"Just can't keep yourself outta the front lines, can ya Mac? always gotta be the hero." Laughed Danny.
Spelling on the board, Mac asked... Why?"
"It seems Ken tried to sell your story to the highest bidder. Doc here found out about it, and destroyed the tape. Ken found out, wanted revenge, and BOOM... here we are."
Spelling out again, Mac wrote for his doctor... "I guess we saved each other."
"You're right Mac. I guess we did. I"m going to set up that x-ray now. I'll see you all later."
When the doctor, Melina and MJ left, Danny looked over at Stella, and said... "So who's the Gidget?"
"She's not a Gidget. Her name is Melina. She's also a first year Med student, and Mac's knew therapist."
"Hm... why is MJ tagging along with them?"
"Melina is his girlfriend. They grew up together. Turns out she's always been in love with MJ, but wasn't sure if he felt the same. So they are giving each other a chance, to see where it leads."
"What about you Mac? When are they spring'n ya from here?"
Mac shrugged his shoulders, if he had his way, it would be today.
"He has about another three weeks here of extensive therapy. Then he can go home, with in-home therapy visits."
"Nice... see Mac. This is great news."
"Excuse me... Mr.Taylor, we are ready for you in x-ray."
Transfering Mac to a wheelchair, they wheeled him down. Leaving Danny to ask...
"How's he really doing Stella?"
"It's touch and go Danny. Some days he's himself, other days he has really angry tempers. Most days, he just doesn't seem to care. He's so frustrated right now. Sometimes his fits even worry me. According to his doctor, he'll be on antidepressants, when he leaves here, to help regulate his mood swings. They say it's normal with most TBI patients."
"Give him time Stella. He'll come around. It's obvious the old Mac is still in there. I mean he risked his own life to save another, even with being disabled. So he's still in there. We just have to all work together to get him back."
"I know you're right, it's just more difficult everyday."
As Danny was going to say something else, Michelle, Tyler and Caroline came through the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the room now quiet Mac seen his doctor walk in.
"Morning Mac. I have a board meeting this morning on your family's behalf. Is there anything you would like me too add?"
Picking up the word "no", he applied it to the board, as he looked up, he seen Ken coming towards Andrew. Warning Andrew with his finger, he turned in time and seen the surgical knife in his hand. Tackling Ken to the ground, they began struggling with it. Flipping him over, Ken had the knife to Andrews neck, ready to slice.
Using all his strength, Mac slid down to the floor, and crawled over on his good arm, and side. Nearing Ken, he pulled himself up as much as he could, wrapped his casted arm around his neck, choking him into unconciousness.
Getting himself up, Andrew seen Mac struggling to breathe. Pulling Ken off him, Andrew called security, then the Police.
"Oh my God... what happened here?" yelled Stella.
"It's okay Stella, your husband saved my life."
Stella looked at Mac, struggling to pull himself back up into his chair. While she helped him, Don, Danny and Eric came in.
After they had Ken in custody, Andrew checked Mac's blood pressure, pupil dilation, and heart rate.
"How are you feeling Mac? How's your arm?"
Reaching for the words, he spelled out... "it is fine."
"Good... I"m going to have the orderly come get you for that x-ray, hopefully we can get that cast off your arm. Thank you, for saving me."
Spelling out "you are welcome," Melina and MJ, came running through the door.
"Daddy... oh daddy, are you okay?"
"Shh... I'm fine Melina. Mac saved my life."
Walking over to Mac, she kissed his cheek again, over and over. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," she kept repeating.
"Just can't keep yourself outta the front lines, can ya Mac? always gotta be the hero." Laughed Danny.
Spelling on the board, Mac asked... Why?"
"It seems Ken tried to sell your story to the highest bidder. Doc here found out about it, and destroyed the tape. Ken found out, wanted revenge, and BOOM... here we are."
Spelling out again, Mac wrote for his doctor... "I guess we saved each other."
"You're right Mac. I guess we did. I"m going to set up that x-ray now. I'll see you all later."
When the doctor, Melina and MJ left, Danny looked over at Stella, and said... "So who's the Gidget?"
"She's not a Gidget. Her name is Melina. She's also a first year Med student, and Mac's knew therapist."
"Hm... why is MJ tagging along with them?"
"Melina is his girlfriend. They grew up together. Turns out she's always been in love with MJ, but wasn't sure if he felt the same. So they are giving each other a chance, to see where it leads."
"What about you Mac? When are they spring'n ya from here?"
Mac shrugged his shoulders, if he had his way, it would be today.
"He has about another three weeks here of extensive therapy. Then he can go home, with in-home therapy visits."
"Nice... see Mac. This is great news."
"Excuse me... Mr.Taylor, we are ready for you in x-ray."
Transfering Mac to a wheelchair, they wheeled him down. Leaving Danny to ask...
"How's he really doing Stella?"
"It's touch and go Danny. Some days he's himself, other days he has really angry tempers. Most days, he just doesn't seem to care. He's so frustrated right now. Sometimes his fits even worry me. According to his doctor, he'll be on antidepressants, when he leaves here, to help regulate his mood swings. They say it's normal with most TBI patients."
"Give him time Stella. He'll come around. It's obvious the old Mac is still in there. I mean he risked his own life to save another, even with being disabled. So he's still in there. We just have to all work together to get him back."
"I know you're right, it's just more difficult everyday."
