The trip back seemed shorter than the trip to Europe, somehow. Thomas had seen more in the last few weeks than he felt like he had seen his entire life. And even though he was dreading returning home because it meant seeing a doctor and possibly the confirmation of the start of his symptoms, at least he had had a wonderful trip with his son and, for a few days, their friends.

At the beginning of their descent into New York, Thomas turned to Jamie and he smiled. Jamie was sitting on the window and Thomas was on the aisle, currently putting his seat back into it's upright position. "Here we go. Apparently it's supposed to be really hot this week so I guess we have something to look forward to in our post-vacation malaise." Thomas was strange and loved the heat. It was cold he didn't deal well with.

"All surgeries have inherent risks," the doctor said carefully. "And it depends on what it looks like once we get in there, but if the surgery is a success, then he should be fine. Until then, we have to hope the swelling will go down. He may need to have a hole drilled to relieve some of the pressure."

Emma glanced at her grandchild and then she thanked the doctor and sent him away. "Jamie, you have to be exhausted," Emma said softly. "There's nothing more you can do here. If they're keeping him under, he won't wake up on his own and I can stay with him as long as they'll let me since I work here. Do you want to go stay with someone?"

"I offered to stay with him so he could be at home," Lena spoke up. And Emma would have hugged her if the situation weren't so dire.

"There you go. Why don't you go home, lovey? Get some sleep?"
