"Good." The Lieutenant nodded. "You shouldn't be going through something like this alone and Ana doesn't count."

The brunette threw back a Tequila shot and slammed the glass down in mock offense. Her Godson just rolled his eyes, fondly, in response.

"Actually, Sylvie found out, and she's been by my side every step of the way. She'll be at the MRI tomorrow." Matt admitted.

"Glad to hear it." Kelly smiled.

*Lincoln Memorial Hospital: The Next Day*

Ana and Sylvie were seated on either side of Matt, waiting for him to get called back.

". . .And I made a playlist for you. I'm texting it to you now." The blonde informed, tapping away on her cellphone. "Then you can just give it to the radiology tech, and he'll pipe it in through the headphones."

"You didn't have to do that." He murmured.

"Uh, don't thank me yet. It's mostly smooth jazz and a couple of Taylor Swift slow jams thrown in." She admitted and the brunette smiled a bit under her mask. "I read you're not supposed to listen to anything too stimulating."

"Thanks." The male Captain nodded.

"Matt Casey?" Someone called.

"That's me." He stood up along with the two women on either side of him.

"I'll be here. Have fun?" Sylvie smiled, nervously.

"I'll do my best." Matt chuckled, turning to Ana.

Nothing really needed to be said between the two and the brunette just gave him a quick hug before letting him go.

*A Few Days Later*

Matt and Ana were seated in a doctor's Office waiting for him to come with the results of the MRI. The two looked over when the door suddenly opened and Sylvie walked in.

"Sorry, I took so long. Any word?" She wondered.

"Nothing. Nurse seemed serious when I gave her my name. Brought me right in." He muttered.

"I told you, that's probably nothing." Ana assured.

"Yeah, she's right." Sylvie agreed, sitting down just as the doctor walked in with an iPad.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." He apologized, taking a seat at his desk. "Matt, in the accident where you hit your head, which side of your body did you fall on?"

"Uh. . ."

"His left." Ana answered for him and he shot her a grateful look in return.

"Mm-hmm. And did you have any shoulder pain afterwards?" The doctor inquired.

"Uh, yeah, but it's mostly gone." Matt nodded.

"Makes sense now. The weakness on your left side is most likely due to the shoulder injury you're recovering from, not from an injury in the brain." He explained, showing them the iPad. "Your MRI is clean."

"But what about the headaches and the tunnel vision?" Ana wondered, hoping she already knew the answer.

"Most likely caused by post-concussion migraines. It's common with a head injury like yours." The doctor assured. "It'll go away on its own. In the meantime, we'll get you some migraine medication to manage it."

"Uh, so I'm- I'm clear to work?" Matt asked in confirmation, almost as if he were completely shocked by the news.

"Absolutely." He nodded, standing back up. "I'll talk to Jenny out front, and she'll have your prescription ready for you. It's always nice to deliver good news."

He left and the three other occupants of the room stood up immediately.

"Matt, you're okay." Sylvie grinned, pulling him into a hug.

He laughed and picked the blonde up, spinning her around which made her laugh as well. They seperated and stared at each other for a little longer than necessary. Ana, being the cop that she was, smirked behind her mask when she picked up on it.

"Time to go to, Molly's." Matt chuckled, turning to the brunette with a warm gaze.

"I told you everything would be all right." The older woman pointed out, jokingly, and pulled him in for a hug of her own.

"I think we got some celebrating to do." He smiled, separating from Ana and turning to face Sylvie again.

"I was thinking the same thing, yes." She nodded, happily.

"Right." Matt laughed again and grabbed his jacket before opening the door for her.

The brunette shook her head with a small smile and followed the two lovebirds out of the room.

A/N I hope you all enjoyed! Till Monday!
