After talking to his staff, POTUS walked into Zoey's room. Right now he
wanted to be a father worried about his daughter. As he walked in Zoey
opened her eyes and felt Charlie holding on to her hand. She gave him a smile.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"What do you remember?" Abby asked.

"I was walking outside toward the limo when all of a sudden I had this
great pain in my chest," Zoey said remembering. "I WAS SHOT? How bad is it?"
Zoey asked.

"You were shot twice in the chest. One bullet hitting the lung and the
second piercing your heart. It was pretty close. But you are a Bartlett,"
POTUS said to his daughter smiling.

"Which means that we never give up," Zoey said smiling. "Was anyone else
hurt?" Zoey asked.

"My military aide was killed. But lets not worry about that now," POTUS said.

Zoey looked sad for a moment. She then turned to Charlie.

"My hero. I remember how you saved my life," Zoey said to Charlie.

"I did nothing but almost get you killed," Charlie said feeling guilty.

Zoey looked at everyone in the room. They all got the message and left Zoey
and Charlie alone. She looked at him.

"You can't blame yourself for this," Zoey said.

"You were shot because you and I are together," Charlie said.

"I love you Charlie. And I am not going to let this cause me to lose you,"
Zoey said.

"And if I decide that I will protect you," Charlie asked.

"How do you think my father will react if you hurt me?" Zoey asked.

Charlie thinks about this and begins to laugh.

"NO ANYTHING BUT THAT," Charlie said

Zoey and Charlie laugh. He then kisses her.

"Welcome back Zoey," Charlie said.

"Do me one favor," Zoey asked.

"Anything," Charlie said responding.

"Just stop talking," Zoey said before kissing him.
