Dr. Naggers was making rounds. "Jack" was resting after surgery, still unconscious. He was, however, stable after several units of blood to get his strength back. He had a ways to go but the long haired red head kept regular checks on him. Checking his vitals, she re-dressed his wounds. She took out her datapad and sat in a chair at his feet. She had a chat with John Holliday.
"Once he's strong enough," she explained, "he'll need to be transferred aboard Med.Force.One for an arm. I'm guessing a few days anyway before he's transferable."
"That shouldn't be a problem," he answered, "I'll be home later today anyway. Time to give some time to home and medicine."
"Well, John, it'll be nice seeing you again. We have much to talk about," she replied.
After a short pause, he asked her, "So how's Benjen doing? I imagine he's getting big."
"Oh he's doing that," she said with a smile, "he's 5 now and....." She paused and dropped her smile, "He's wondering who his Dad is."
"In time, Doreen, you can explain all that. I mean, you're a pretty and very smart woman so that may come with time," he answered. "When I get back, I'll take him out. Besides, I'm sure Emiko may find some fun with a play date."
"That would be great," she answered back with a smile.
"OK, I'll see you when I get there. Keep me posted," he said in a wrap up comment.
"So long," she answered, putting her datapad in her shirt.
