Okay now that I'm awake and able to read at any kind of depth instead of skimming after a very long day, I have time to tell you how much I dug this fic.

Excellent Kim. As I told you, I loved how she was mature and so a mom and yet also so very Kim. I'd start pointing out favorite bits but it'd be a lot.

Your Renee is amazing as per usual. I love the relationship they're starting here.

As someone else mentioned but it's so freakin' true, you really bring the hospital to life here, it feels like the way it feels in a waiting room, if that makes any sense. I love that Kim isn't by his bedside, that she's drinking too much awful coffee, that the tv is white noise.

And I know you were wondering how I'd feel about this:

“He asked you to find me at the airport.”

Renee smiled tiredly. “I don’t think he had a lot of options.”

“He wouldn’t have called unless he trusted you.”

“I hope you’re right,” Renee replied softly. She wanted to add, He’s already been screwed by enough people, don’t you think?, but instead she counted slowly backwards from five until the impulse passed. She could still hear the shock in Kim’s voice when she’d mentioned Tony. No need to go there again.

Loved it. He's been screwed by enough people, oooo snap. Seriously, you rock.
