As Will had predicted I was able to get out of the hospital by the end of the week but I didn't tell anyone at the firehouse because I wanted it to be a surprise. Jay was there to help me out of the hospital and I begged him to drive me to the firehouse before going home.

I walked/ limped into the firehouse when we arrived, luckily I saw that everyone was there. Jay walked in before me.

"Hey, guys!" He greeted everyone. "So y/n might be getting out soon." He started playing with them.

Everyone started cheering. "How soon?" Hermann asked.

"Like really soon." I walked into the room. I watched as everyone's face lit up as they saw me standing there. All the guys ran to hug me being careful not to squeeze me too tight.

"Damn girl you're looking good as hell." Otis winked at me.

"Watch it Zvonecek" Jay playfully nudged him.

"I'm really glad to be back here guys." I could feel myself start to tear up. "I really thought I'd never see you guys again." I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I remembered that terrifying night.

I saw a couple of the guys tear up. "I think I speak for everyone when I tell you that we would've gone through hell and back to get you back here. You're family y/n." Cruz sniffled.

I wiped a few tears from my eyes. "Guys if I stay here any longer I'll end up balling my eyes out. I have to go home and rest, doctors orders. But I wanted to come say hi and thank you." I playfully rolled my eyes.

"She really does need rest! Let's go baby." Jay said walking back to my side and placing his arm around my waist.

"If you need anything, anything at all give us a call." Casey winked at me.

Jay and I started walking out but Jay turned back around once again. "Thank you all for looking out for her...when I couldn't. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if something had happened to her." Jay looked down to meet my eyes.

When Jay and I got home I noticed a huge trash bag by the door and the place looking surprisingly clean.

"Did you do this yourself?" I asked Jay suspiciously.

"Let's just say that when we...separated...I wasn't doing too good. The house looked like a college dorm room." He admitted

I walked myself over to the couch. I started overthinking and I didn't even realize when I sighed really loudly.

"What's wrong babe?" Jay rushed to my side "Is something hurting? Should I call Will?"

"No no no babe, I'm ok." I took his hand. I turned to face him and smiled. " I'm just really glad this is all over."

Jay leaned in to give me a deep kiss. "Me too my love." He whispered in between the kiss. I hadn't realized how much I missed this, him, his touch, his love.
