" It's good to see you up bro, we thought you were dead" Dom chuckled light heartedly. 
" You mean Nick hoped that he was dead" Jake spat sarcastically. Swiftly Eli and Gerald both smacked the sides of Jake's head. 
I believed it 
" What?!" Jake yelled shielding himself with his arms. 
" Don't ever fuckin say that shit " Nick spat bitterly
Brushing past the nurse Nick extended his hand and as I clasped his hand with mine, he pulled me closer wrapping his arm around my back in a embrace. 
With his head next to mine he spoke in a low tone. " Regardless of everything you're still my brother, it is really good to see you up bro" 
As I let out a low dry chuckle Nick stepped away and the nurse handed me another cup of water. 
" Hello Kaleb I'm Dr. Brunswick, I'm one of the doctors that checked you in when you landed. They had to remove a bullet from your shoulder but lucky the one in your abdomen went straight through your back, nothing fatal was damaged. But you did lose quite a bit of blood and that's what gave everyone here such a scare. So there's naturally going to be some pain and stiffness so you'll have take it easy. So over all how are you feeling?" The doctor said sternly as he gripped the clipboard ready to write whatever I had to say."
As I pondered it, I nodded. "I'm alright, I'm just tired" 
As the words left my lips one of the nurses began to reattach the morphine tube. Immediately I pulled my hand away. 
" No, no more of that" 
" You need it, for your pain" she insisted
Looking away from her I looked back at the doctor. "Can I get some pills or something for the pain? The morphine has my head all loopy I don't like it" 
Scribbling on the paper he nodded. " Absolutely but before I can prescribe you anything we need run a few tests. Let me put the order in and the nurses will be back for you "
" Alright" 
With that the doctor left with the nurses in tow and my gaze fell to Jake, Dom and then Monty. 
" I have to ask, what are you all doing here?"
" You were shot" Donte spat obviously getting a chuckle from Savino. 
" Twice" Savino confirmed. 
" I've been shot before, you guys are acting like I died"
" You did die Kaleb" Gerald's deep voice came out low. 
" Your heart stopped for 2 minutes" Dad said glumly taking the glasses from his face and wiping the lens with the ends of his shirt. 
Frowning I tried to rake my brain as to what all happened that day. Everything was fuzzy and none of the pieces seemed to fit. 
" You guys came all the way to Italy for me? If I didn't know better I would have thought that you guys loved me" 
" We do love you bro, we're family" Savino insisted
" Besides.. we're not in Italy" Nick finished softly while looking away getting scolding looks from around the room. 
" What are you talking about?" My eyes narrowed as I asked. 
The room fell silent as everyone looked at each other in contemplation on what to say. 
" Don't get quiet on me now, you loud bastards. What the fuck is Nick talking about?"
