SAM POV

I put Diana to bed as she needed the rest, recovery would take a lot of her energy, and the meds she was on contained stuff that would make her sleep. I saw Nick was also sleeping peacefully. These days I was so focused on getting Diana back to normal that I didn't think about Nick. 

He didn't have any injuries physically but he could be having flashbacks of that day that aren't exactly good for him. I decided to talk to him when he woke up and was ready to talk to me. I walked down and switched on the tv. 

There was nothing good on so I just took my phone out of my pocket and replied to messages and stuff that I usually avoid. 

"Hey dad." Nick said sleepily sitting beside me. 

"Hey, how was your nap?" I asked. 

"It was good, I feel good now." He said. 

"That's amazing." I said. 

"Dad, what if Diana had died?" Nick asked all of a sudden. 

"Then we would see, but she wouldn't have cause there were a lot of my colleagues and people that trained me working on saving her. Nick do you need someone to talk to?" I asked. 

"I don't think I need someone to talk to, I am fine. Diana is the one who's hurt." He said. 

"It's alright if you do need to talk to someone, you went through the same thing she did, she just got injured physically and you didn't." I said. 

"Yeah, but she got hurt saving me from getting hurt I don't deserve it she does." He said leaving me in shock I was at a loss for words. I composed myself quickly before he could see it. 

"You do deserve it all, it wasn't your fault that a man broke into the house or that she got hurt none of it is your fault." I said he started to cry and then hugged me. I just let him cry he needed to.

"Thank you dad." He said. 

"It's alright, Do you need anything?" I asked. 

"I just need some time alone right now." He said. 

"Alright, whatever you need. Dia is sleeping in your room so you can go in my room." I said.

"Okay." He said and went upstairs. 

I was worried about him too now. I got a notification from my phone. I turned it on and clicked on it. 

It was an e-mail from the hospital, My resident Chris was transferred. He was my favorite resident. This day was just getting a lot for me but I knew that I had to stay strong for now. 

"Dad." Diana called. 

"Coming." I said and ran upstairs and opened the door. 

"I don't feel good." She said. I sat on the bed. 

"What are you feeling then?" I asked. 

"I don't know, I was thinking about that day and it happened all of a sudden." She said. None of them was stopping thinking of that day, I couldn't blame them it was traumatic but I needed to find something for them to do to keep their minds occupied, so they wouldn't have to live the day all over again. 

"Why were you thinking of that day?" I asked. 

"I woke up, I didn't want to disturb you so I just started thinking and that was my first thought." She said. 

"Try to not think of it yeah?. I said. 

"I'll try. Dad when can we go to school? She asked. 

"Nick can go by Monday, today is Friday so he'll have some time to himself and for you, I have no idea it depends on your recovery and when Bradley or some other doctor clears you to go." I said. 

"Why can't you clear me?" She asked. 

"Cause I am your dad and my judgment might be clouded when I make that decision. You are getting your stitches off on Sunday and that's a huge step to recovery." I said. 

"Will that hurt?" She asks. 

"I'm not sure." I said. 

"Okay." She said.

I talked to her about random stuff for a good while and after that Nick came into the room. We just talked about everything and after that, I could see the light on their faces that they used to have before that day. 

I loved them. 

After that, we had dinner and both of them went to sleep. I called mom up. 

"Sam, Hey is everything alright you haven't called me in a while?" She asked. 

"Yeah mom, there was just a lot happening. Diana got shot she almost died and it scared me." I said. 

"Is she okay?" She asked. 

"She is now and I am too." I said. 

"That's great and go to bed you must be exhausted from all of this happening. " She said. 

"Yeah, I am going in a while just needed to hear your voice I miss you." I said. 

"I'll make sure to come there soon and you don't come here I will Diana needs you right now." She said. 

"I won't Mom, Goodnight I love you." I said. 

"I love you too Sam." She said and hung up. 

I went upstairs to my room, took a shower, and just laid down on the bed and in a while, sleep took over me.
