Chapter 1 Decompression

EMS ran to the scene of one of the most known SRU officer in the force fallowing his frantic teammate, even if they didn't have the escort they would have been able to find Sergeant Parker from the near hysteric scream of Team 1 second in command.

Moving in to stabilize Sergeant Parker they worked quickly and had him onto a board and headed out of the building. Knowing the Boss was on his way to the hospital didn't give much relief to Team 1 as they went through the paperwork and SIU.

Getting to the hospital all of Team 1 gathered in the waiting room outside of surgery. Dean was already there with Marina having had Winnie call her from the Barn. Dean watched as his dad's colleagues as well as friends filed in to hold visual while his dad went through surgery. These people were family his dads family and his, getting up he walked over to Ed. "How is Clark?"

"He is doing good, he left surgery about an hour ago. His mom and Izzy are with him."

"Ed if you need to go stay with Clark my Dad will understand. Matter of Fact he would tell you to go."

"Dean, you dad is like a brother I know that Clark is good, I will wait to hear that my brother is safe."

"Okay, Ed"

Watching the exchange the rest of Team 1 huddled close to each other. Sam hovered protectively over Jules now that they were off the clock he could do what his instincts had screamed at him to do all day. Jules though was finally able to accept and relax her guard knowing Sam was there and she could relax. Because she was pregnant they didn't want her on pain medication stronger than Tylenol, this meant she was having to use breathing to help counter the injury to her leg.

6 hours later the surgeon came out stating that Sergeant Parker was out of Surgery and in ICU. Each teammate briefly went in to see the Boss. As they all went home each member expressed in there own way their relief to be alive and the hope even if a small hope that they would all soon be back together as Team 1.

Spike took this opportunity to make his feelings known. Heading back to the Barn Spike walked into the changing room to get ready to leave. As he walked paste the desk he noticed Winnie was gone. Hustling to the parking lot he came to a halt when he saw Winnie. She was leaning up against his car waiting, will a smile on her face, walking towards her Spike smiled.

"Winnie….?"

"Spike I decided to toss my rule."

"Yeah? I think that just made my job easier."

"I can't go on like this Spike, knowing what I could have lost today. That I could have lost ….. I could have lost you Spike. I don't want to loose you."

"Winnie….." Spike closes the gap between them wrapping his arms around her holding her close. "I love you."

Holding onto each other they missed Sam and Jules coming out of the building.

Smiling Sam leans over to Jules and whispers "It's about time…" Chuckling; "I just happy that they are happy. I know how hard it is to want someone and have to push it back." Sighing as he slid his arm around Jules again going into protective mode as she limps.

"Sam you are my heart and soul…..lets go home."

"You are my life Jules, you and our baby are everything."

Walking to their new SUV Sam tucks Jules into the passenger seat knowing her leg is hurting. They drive away to the home they built together.

Ed stayed with Dean and Marina for a little longer making sure they were settled and letting them know what room Clark was in so they would know where to find him. Walking into his son's room he pauses to look at his family. The family he almost lost today. Finally able to release his emotions he slides down the wall with silent tears steaming down his face. Silently crying his body wracked with his quiet sobs he doesn't sense Sophie moving towards him until she slips her arms around him holding on to him giving him the support he needs from her. When he reaches for her they support each other, knowing how close they came to losing their son today.

"Dad…..?" Clark whispers

"Right here, I'm right here." Getting up off the floor Ed kisses Sophie on the head.

"Dad are you okay?"

"Clark you are the one in the hospital bed."

"Did you get him?"

"Yes, son we got him."

"Is everyone okay?"

Silence met Clark's question. Ed hadn't even had a chance to tell Sophie about Greg.

"Ed?"

"Clark, Sophie…I will be going back and forth between here and ICU…"

"Ed, Who?"

With a sigh….Ed answered "Greg was shot multiple times and just came out of surgery."

"Dad….Dean does he know?"

"Yes he knows, he is with his dad and Marina right now."

"Okay" the strength was waning in his voice as Clark fell back to sleep.

Ed and Sophie watched their son sleep. The son they could have lost today.

Leah was the last to leave SRU her work family was still whole if not a little cracked. Heading home she was looking forward to a cold beer and dinner. Opening her door the smell of dinner greeted her. Never one to advertize her life she was somewhat a mystery to her teammates.

"Hey babe…" comes a husky male voice

"Hey. Where were you today?"

"I was doing triages at the first bomb, trying to stay in one peace."

"Yeah …. Serg was shot today; I went to the hospital after Debrief."

"Is he okay? Sam, Jules, Spike, Ed are they all okay?" He knew these people they were important to him and Leah.

"Jules had rebar go through her leg, but she is fine. Ed's son Clark is also in the hospital he was in City Hall when is blew up, He was in his car that is what saved him."

"Oh Leah…..are you sure you are okay?"

"Yeah I just need some time to process. Is dinner ready?"

"Yes it is all ready just waiting for you."

"Okay, all I want is to have dinner and sit with you for now."

Team 1 had a day from Hell unwinding with their families was the only way for them to truly decompress.
