He was lucky enough to only lose his leg. For a while, you thought he would lose his life as well. Hooper and Brody dragged him half-unconscious back to the island and eventually he made it to the hospital.

Quint was in surgery for seven hours and had two different blood transfusion. It took two days of you staying by his side for him to finally wake up. For a while you sobbed, gently kissing him and clutching onto him for dear life.

Two weeks pass and you are finally back home. Hooper still has not left, taking it upon himself to start working on a prosthetic, Martin battles it out with the mayor about doubling the reward money, and Ellen bring you home cooked meals for weeks after. What could you ever do without them? You don’t have the energy to cook anymore and Quint hardly gets out of bed. He has sobbed in your arms while staring at the chunk taken out of his side and what remains of his leg more times than you can count.
