The Doctors had finished surgery and has repaired every broken bone in is lower half of the body and minor internal injuries which could have been worse. The lower half of his body took the blunt of the land. He was now in the Recovery ward where he will take the next day or so before he can be released to return to Starbase 400 where he will need alot of physical therapy to be able to walk properly again.

The Doctor walked out and walked up to Jewel who was pacing back and forth then noticed him. "How is he?" Jewel said as she looked at him. "He is going to be alright, I have repaired everything and he is now resting. It will be a day or so before I can release him so you can return back to Starbase 400. Which I will send a Doctor and a Physical Therapist along with you to on the journey back. The Therapist will stay on Starbase 400 until such time as she isn't needed." The doctor replied looking at her.

"He will need to learn how to walk again and that will take some time, It will be hard and frustrating but you need to be there for him and couch him. Believe in him and with that he will get better." He added looking at her. "Also, he been removed from the Marine Corps due to the severity of this accident." He added as the doctor handed her a padd.

"I understand." Jewel stated as she looked at the padd over then looked back at him. "When can I see him?" She asked.

"You can go right in, he should be waking up soon." The doctor replied as Jewel nodded and walked into where he was. She sat by his side and took his hand and held it. "If only you listened to me David," she stated as she sighed.

A few minutes has passed as David started to come around, she looked at him. "W...what happened? Where am I?" David asked as he couldn't really move. "David take an easy, your at Starfleet Medical you just came out of surgery. You had a terrible accident which broke every bone from your hip down to your legs. The doctors repaired everything but you will need therapy for you to get you walking again." Jewel started then she seen David's disappointed face.

"What about my Job? How can I do my job like this?" David got angry and upset. Jewel sighed as she really didn't want to tell him this part but she knew she had to. "David, due to this accident the Marine Corps have decided to...basically retire you." Jewel stated softly as she knew he would not like that.

"What? You got to be kidding me." He got angry again and started yelling. "David you need to calm down, things happen but you have to take it in stride David. You need to focus on you and your recovery. You have to be there for our child that is due within the next couple months." Jewel stated as she tried to stay calm.

David looked at her then her stomach and placed a hand on it. Taking a deep breathe he sighed, "Why do you always half to be right?" David asked. "Wait don't answer that," he added as he looked at her.

The doctor came in, "Mrs Hurd, he needs his rest now. How about you go get something to eat and go rest. We will let you know if anything changes. You can come back in a few hours. He just needs to rest and start recovery." The doctor said. Jewel nodded and leaned over and kissed her husband. "I love you, all you need to do is rest. We will be on our way back home in a day or so." Jewel stated as David nodded and she walked out to go back to the appartment and get some rest. It was a very long day and a very stressful one and she needed to rest.
