Chapter 3: DVD Med
Hannah opened her eyes, she saw her father and grandfather hugging each other. Her dad had teary eyes when he looked at her
"Hey baby" Danny leaned to kiss her forehead "you okay?" Hannah nodded
"Hey grandpa!" she said excitedly
"Hey Hannah, I was just checking on you" he reached for his pocket "here" he handed Danny a DVD "I thought you might like this"
Danny examined the movie. It was "Toy Story" – "where did you get this?"
"Jack gave it to me, I went to Erin's before coming here, and he said she liked it"
"She does" Danny smiled at Hannah. She stared curiously at him
"What's that?" her eyes dilated
"Toy Story" Frank said
"Have you seen it grandpa?" the 3 year old asked "I like the last one better, Uncle Jaime said this is the bestest "
"Best" Danny corrected "and I agree with you kiddo, I think the last one is better, Linda cried the whole way trough" Danny told Frank
"I think I should go, I have to finish some paperwork" Frank said, he leaned to kiss Hannah's cheek
"Don't go" she said quietly "you'll like woody" Frank raised an eyebrow
"It's one of the characters of the movie" Danny told him "yeah, you kind of remind me of a cowboy dad" Danny chuckled, Frank turned to his granddaughter
"Oh, well, I guess I could do that later" Frank said. He pulled a chair next to Danny's
"Put it on daddy!" Hannah said excitedly. But a nurse came in just as they were about to start it
"I'm sorry, but I have to check on the IV" she said politely. Hannah watched her move her fingers impatiently.
"If you need anything, you just have to push the button" she told Danny and left. Hannah's eyes followed her
"Okay, so let's see how much I look like this woody person" Frank said, Hannah laughed quietly
The movie started to play. Danny sat by the edge of the bed, but Hannah tried to reach for him
"Daddy" she said "sit here" she pointed to her left side, Danny smiled
"So these are toys, right?" Frank asked. Danny cuddled Hannah closer to him
"Yeah dad, that's why it's called "toy story" Danny smiled. He was amused by the fact that Frank was really immersed in the movie, by the end of it, Hannah had fallen asleep again
"So that was interesting" Frank said standing to his feet "I think Jack said there's a sequel, maybe I should watch that one too"
"Thanks dad, she really enjoyed it, she laughed" Danny said sadly
"Yes, I thought that was good, I'm glad I stayed" Frank hugged his son
"me too" Danny tried hard to hold back his tears when he sat back on the chair by the side of the bed and watched his little girl, who was the bravest person he knew, caught into her own story, where she was healthy and out of danger
