(He had had the hardest time sleeping since the explosion.. it had taken a few ours playtime with his son and a hefty dose of painkillers to get him knocked out, and that was why it appeared as though he was sleeping. Really, he was laying there, feeling sort of numb and achingly in pain all at the same time. His eyes were closed, and his brain was working so fast that he didn't so much as move a muscle as he lay there, the only proof he was actually alive being the rise and fall of his chest and the steady shift of his eyes beneath their lids. He was in shock. Plain and simple. He had lost thiry seven men and women. Mothers and Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, Husbands and Wives, Sons and Daughters.. his friends, coworkers, those he provided for. Of course, the first thing he had done once he was on his feet was to set up a fund for the families.. for medical expenses, leave pay.. burial expenses. He refused to take any sort of pat on the back for what he did.. that money came from the government.. it was the least he could do to expedite it's distribution. He hated getting kudos for doing the only thing that kept him sane in a situation like this.. caring for everyone else to dull the pain he felt inside. He'd had nightmares.. both times he had slept since leaving the hospital he had woken in the middle of the night in a sweat, only to feel the pain from the pins in his leg sear through him and bring him abruptly to tears. The only thing in life that made him happy.. was Shay. She and Chase were the light in his darkness, and he wasn't ashamed to admit it.. to himself, anyways. He felt the dip in the mattress even after hearing her put Chase in his crib, move to the side of the bed and drop her dorm pants. Without so much as flinching, he lay there, until he felt that creepy crawly feeling that meant she was watching him.) My head isn't going to blow up if you keep staring at it, Shaylin. (He said in a monotone, his lips barely moving since he was a little doped from the morphine.)
