"Why didn't you tell us you found her?!" Anger and worry boil through my blood as i rush toward Dom and Brian in the waiting room of Chicago med.

Brian stands from the chair he's settled himself all nicely in and says. "Had to get her here."

I scoff, glancing around trying to catch sight of my brother. Doctor Will Halstead. Dom takes a step toward me, offering me a quick word, "Hobbs took him to Voight."

I nod before catching sight of my brother, walking toward us with a more than exhausted look on his face.

"Will, is she okay?" I question as he approaches us.

"She's okay, just woke up. Refusing treatment and wants to self discharge. I've recommended that she stay for observation tonight considering the concussion. But I can't force her." Will explains, and I can't say I didn't expect him stay that.

"I'll speak to her," I offer and Will instantly shows me to her room and I can hear the scoff from Brian behind me.

"Ash, you've got to stay for observation. What if something happens? You don't even remember how you got here." I argue worried as she breaks the intense hug between us after a few minutes.

"I'll stay at Kelly's" she counters. An answer for everything as always.

"And if something happens while he's on shift?" I counter taking a breath while I reach to hold her hand, our fingers interlocking.

"I have your number, and Will's." She sighs tiredly running her hand through her dark messy hair. The bruising across her face bright as she refuses to say anymore.

"I'll drop you there." I offer only for her to shake her head. So stubborn.

"I appreciate it Jay, I really do. But I'm okay" she offers me a smile pulling me back into a hug, "just go and nail Theo, please?"

Her plea sends a shot straight for my heart, my arms wrap around her and my lips press a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" I question not wanting to leave her, I just got her back. She nods making me sigh once again, breaking the hug I look down at her. Very gently cupping her face with one of my hands.

"Call me if you need anything and I'll be there." I whisper before pressing a gentle kiss to her lips, the relief flooding my body as she kisses me back. She's safe. She's alive.
