Here is chapter 4! Thank you for reviewing, I am glad you are enjoying the story. I will be going out of town tomorrow until Monday so I won't be able to update until then! I will write when I am gone so I have chapters ready to upload. Please let me know what you think! Have a good weekend!

Earlier that morning Christian called Ros and Andrea to have them clear his schedule until further notice. Anything at work can be handled by them. Nothing, not even the biggest deal will come in the way of him being with his family at this time. He had Taylor bring Ana and him a change of clothes and some food. He had to force Ana to eat. She wasn't in the mood but he needed her to be healthy. Christian also kept in contact with his father all morning to check on Phoebe. She was fine when she woke up but was a little fussy wanting Ana. Ana's heart hurt a little knowing her baby girl wanted her. She was so torn. How was she supposed to choose between her kids?

Teddy got some morphine again and was loopy on it saying random things. It was cute. He still couldn't move much but it put their minds at ease knowing he was comfortable. They hated seeing him in this much pain. He hasn't thrown up since early this morning which meant the NG tube was doing its job. He slept on and off through the rest of the morning.

He starts to wake up again.

T: "Mommy?"

Ana walks over to him.

A: "I'm here baby."

Just the then a young male with brown hair walks in and greets them.

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Grey, my name is Ryan. I am the nurse that will be caring for Teddy during the day shift." He shakes their hands. Christian nods.

"I'm going to be administering some more antibiotics. I got the run down from nurse Jackie and Dr. Stevens about his status and condition."

He walks over to Teddy.

"Hey bud, I'm Ryan. I'm going to be taking care of you and help get you to feeling better. Does that sound good?"

Teddy was quiet and nodded yes.

"What do you like to do for fun?" Trying to get Teddy to open up. He starts getting the antibiotics ready to put in his IV.

"I like dinosaurs and cars. I also like to watch the Seahawks with my daddy and Uncle Leliot. My sister makes me play tea party with her but I don't think it is very fun." Everyone chuckles at his response.

"I'm a big Seahawks fan too. I think they will win the Super Bowl this year! I see you a have a stuffed animal there. What's his name?"

"Bear."

"Glad to meet you Bear."

T: "He says hi."

Ryan administers the antibiotics.

"Ok bud I gave you some extra strength so you'll be able to fight off that infection."

"Does it fight like Batman?"

Ryan chuckles, "Yes, it fights off the bad guys in your body that are making up sick. Just how Batman fights the bad guys."

Teddy turns to his mom who is still sitting by him.

"Why am I sick mommy? Is Phoebe sick too?"

"No sweetie she's not sick. We don't know why you got sick. All that matters is you're going to get better. I might take a while though."

Teddy sighs. "Well I'm glad she's not sick. It feels yucky and it hurts." The way he protects and cares for his sister is so sweet. 'Gosh he's just like Christian.' Ana thought.

C: "Teddy, would you be ok if came grandma and stayed with you while we went and picked up your sister? Or do you want us to stay with you?" They we're also going to go home and shower really quickly while they picked her up.

T: "I want you to stay with me."

Ana and Christian look at each other.

A: "okay baby, we will stay right here with you. Your grandpa is going to bring your sister here later to come see you. Would you like that?"

T: "Yes but she's not going to make me play tea party is she?"

They chuckle.

C: "No we don't have to play tea party."

T: "okay good. I'm tired and my tummy hurts."

A: "go ahead and take a nap. We will be right here when you wake up." She kisses his forehead.

He falls asleep soon after. Christian speaks up.

"Ana I don't know if I want Phoebe at the hospital. What if she gets sick from being around people here, there are so many germs she can catch. You also need to go and home and take care of yourself."

His over barring shade is showing.

"I'm fine Christian and I think she will be fine too. We can't keep her away from here the whole time. I don't want to leave Teddy's side. What if he needs me?" Worry coats her voice.

'My Ana, stubborn as usual. Can't she see that I want to take care you her? I need her healthy.' He doesn't want to leave Teddy's side, for one minute either but he knows Phoebe needs him there and misses him.

"I will call my mother and father to see how's she doing. It is noon and she should have eaten lunch. Maybe after she naps she can come. I really don't want her here though."

Ana sighs. She understands where he's coming from. Her fifty. She loves him with all she has.

"We will get through this and figure it out." She hugs him tightly. "One hour at a time at this point." He kisses the top of her head.

"I love you, Anastasia."

"I love you too, Christian."

The evening comes. Christian convinced Ana to get a nap in while Teddy was sleeping. She obliged, she was exhausted.

Carrick and Grace were on their way with Phoebe.

They arrive and Christin's meets them outside the door. Phoebe spots her daddy.

"Daddy!" She squeals.

"There's my princess!" He takes her from Carrick's arms. He starts kissing her all over and she giggles.

"Daddy miss. Daddy hug." Christian hugs her even tighter. He loves her hugs.

"I missed you too sweet pea. So much." and kisses her again.

"How was your day? Were you good for grandma and grandpa?"

"Yep!"

G: "She was wonderful. She ate some lunch, took a nap, and played a few games plus tea party." She smiled. She and Carrick love seeing Christian interact with his kids.

P: "Where's Teddy daddy?"

He kissed her cheek again.

"Teddy is in this room. You have to be very careful though when you see him. He isn't feeling well."

P: "Teddy hug?" He smiled.

"You can give Teddy a hug but you have to be very careful. Mommy's in the room as well. I'm sure she would want a hug too."

P: "Hug mommy!"

C: "Are you ready to go see them?"

She nods her head yes.

"Okay let's go." Carrick and Grace follow them in as well. He opens the door.

Phoebe wants down right away and runs to Ana. She sitting next to Teddy's bed talking to him.

"Mommy!" She runs to Ana. She catches her and picks her up and puts her on her lap.

"Mommy hug!"

"Hi there sweet girl. I have missed you." She hugs Phoebe back and kisses her. Oh how she loves her hugs. Tears threaten her eyes for a second. Seeing her baby girl healthy and happy is an amazing feeling. She will never take it for granted again. Phoebe turns to Teddy. She looked at him confused. Why does her brother look funny? What is coming out his nose?

Ana encourages her, "It's okay, it's Teddy."

Teddy opens his arms for a hug, "Bee Bee hug" The nickname he has for her. Only he calls her that.

She turns her head and nudges it into Ana's neck. Christian sits on the opposite side the on bed.

Teddy looked upset. Why won't his sister give him a hug?

"It's okay Teddy" Christian says. "I don't think her sure because of all the wires that attached to you. It's confusing her"

Ana whispers to her, "it's okay, its Teddy, and those things are helping feel better. Go on, give him a big Phoebe hug."

Teddy opens his arms again inviting her in. Ana sets her on the bed next to Ted. She hesitantly climbs up to him.

C: "Careful." He helps move Teddy's IV tube that's hanging out of the way. She wraps her arms around his neck and he embraces her."

"Teddy hug."

"Thank you Bee Bee."

All the grown up smile at this heartwarming moment. Phoebe sits back on her knees. She reaches her hand up and pulls on Teddy's NG tube. Christian quickly intervenes.

"No, no don't pull on that. That's helping his tummy feel better." She stops. Carrick and Grace walk up.

"Hey kiddo!" Carrick leans down and kisses Teddy on his head, Grace does the same after him.

They all sit and chat for a while. Ryan comes in and takes his vitals. He is still running a high fever. His pain doesn't seem to be subsiding either.

Later, Carrick and Grace are getting ready to leave. Christian speaks to Ana, "Please go with them baby. Take a shower and get some rest. I know you don't want to leave Ted but I will be with him here tonight. Please go with my mom and dad and take care of yourself." She looks up at him. She's torn. He gives her a pleading look.

"Okay I'll go but you have to keep me updated no matter what time it is. I probably won't get much sleep anyways. I'll be too worried about him and you won't be there either."

He kisses her forehead. "Just try baby please, you need your rest. I will keep you updated on everything I promise."

She sighs. It's been 2 long days. She could go for a shower and some cuddle time with Phoebe. Maybe that is just what she needs to feel rejuvenated to come back tomorrow.

He continues. "I told Elliot and Mia what is going on. Elliot said him and Kate could watch Phoebe if needed. I'm sure she and Ava would love to have a sleep over." Ana smiled slightly. Ava and her are best friends. "They will all come visit once Teddy is up for it. I want to keep it to a minimum right now he needs his rest and has in too much pain."

Ana kisses Teddy telling him she will be back later. Ana and Christian kissed good bye. Ana knew deep down Christian will probably not go home as long as Ted is here. He will put everyone before his needs.

They all leave and now it's Teddy and Christian, he sits at his bed side.

"You doing ok bud?"

Teddy shrugged his shoulders. Christian hasn't seen him smile once since he's been here. Not even a Phoebe hug put a smile on his face but he knew it did make him feel better. Taylor brought some of Teddy's things from the house. Some toys and books.

"Do you want me to read you a story?"

He nods yes.

"Okay." He opens one of the books and starts to read.

Throughout the night Jackie comes in and wakes Teddy up to take his vitals and give him another round of antibiotics. Christian kept his promise and updated Ana every time. She never responded which means she was getting some sleep. He was relieved

DAY 3:

3 day at the hospital and still no changes with Ted. Dr. Stevens comes in and talks to them.

"We have been monitoring Theodore and there hasn't been much change. We are going to put a catheter in since he hasn't been able to go to the bathroom. It's an uncomfortable process but we will talk him through it. We will continue on the course of antibiotics. You may also want to try waking around the room with him. It can help some relieve some of the pressure in his digestive tract and can help him feel better and help with the pain."

C: "Is it normal for him to be in this much pain?" He swears if this doctors isn't doing everything he can to help his son he might not have a medical license after this. Ana could tell Christian is about to lose his cool.

Dr. S:"For an appendix that has ruptured, yes it is. Also we will give him something to eat and see if he can hold it down. If not we will have to insert a PICC line so he is able to get TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) and lipids. That will give him the nutrients he need to nourish his body if he is not able to hold anything down. We use a PICC line for those who GI tract is not functioning. His is not, so nothing is moving in there which is causing him pain."

They didn't like what they were hearing. They finish their conversation. Ryan comes in with the equipment for the catheter. Grace decides she is going to help.

R: "Hey Teddy, how it going little man." He hold out his fist for a first bump. He gives him one.

"So what I'm about to do isn't very fun. I'm going to insert a tube and it will help you go to the bathroom. Your grandma here is going to help me."

They get everything set up. Ana and Christin stand on each side of him and hold his hand. Grace holds his legs up while Ryan and putting in the tube. Teddy squirms but barely cries out.

"You're ok bud, I know. I'm almost done."

He was done. "You did great!" Christian and Ana were so proud of Teddy and what a trooper he was through that. Christian couldn't help but squirm either through the process. He couldn't imagine that happening to him.

"You did awesome bud" and hold his fist out for another bump. "Do you want to try walking around the room? It might help relieve your tummy ache a little."

Ryan helped him out of bed and brought his IV pole around so he could grab onto it. He slowly walked around the room with the help of Christian and Ryan. One standing behind him in case he doesn't make it far. After a short walk around the room he had to stop because it hurt too badly.

Carrick comes by with Phoebe later to hang out with Teddy. He wasn't up to playing much but he tried.

Ana speaks up, "You need to go home at some point too Christian who don't you go home tonight and I can stay with Ted."

"No Ana, I'm not leaving him."

She looks at him with pleading eyes, "Please Christian you need too. You might not want to but you need rest as well. I think you have only slept for 4 hours the past 3 days."

"And you think by me going home I'm going it get even more?" Fifty was putting up a fight. Compromise. That's the best she can do right now.

"How about this. It's getting close to dinner and bed time for Phoebe. Take her home, eat with her and give her a bath and put her to bed and then come back to the hospital. Take a shower yourself too."

He raises his eye brows at her "are you trying to insinuate I stink Mrs. Grey?" he was playing with her.

"Not at all Mr. Grey. But please go and do that for me. I'm sure Phoebe wants to spend some time with you as well. You take care of us Christian but you have to let me do the same with you." What did he do to deserve her?

"Okay, I will agree to that. But after she is asleep I will be right her and I'm not leaving."

She kisses him on the lips.

"Thank you."

Around 6 the night shift has begun and Jackie comes in with an orange Popsicle for Ted while Ana is with Phoebe in the play room down the hall. Teddy wasn't up to going.

"Hey there Teddy, how are you feeling?"

T: "My tummy hurts still but my daddy and Ryan walked around the room with me. I don't feel different though."

J: "We will get there buddy don't worry. I have a popsicle for you."

Teddy gets excited immediately. He hasn't eaten in a long time.

Christian wasn't really thrilled with the lack of nutrients a Popsicle has but seeing that Teddy is excited he will take anything at this point. Jackie sits on the edge of his bed and hands it to him.

T: "Thank you." She ruffles his hair.

"You are quite welcome." She smiles. Such a well-mannered little boy.

Teddy gets half way through the Popsicle when he stops. Jackie hurried and grabs the bed pan and he vomits right into it. He wasn't able to hold it down. He continues to throw up as Ana enter back into the room. She worries instantly seeing Ted being sick.

He took and second as Jackie took out his Ng Tube really quick, after that he continued to vomit. After a few minutes he was done. Tears staining his flushed face. Christian rubs his back.

A: "What happened?"

J: "I gave him an orange popsicle to see if he can hold it down but it's not looking that way. I'll let Dr. Stevens know and we will get him on the list to get a PICC line in."

They finish talking and she leaves the room. Christina looks at Ana.

"Christian I know you are worried but you need to take Phoebe home now she is starting to get cranky. You will be back in under 3 hours. I will be here with him, try not worry. He's not going to eat again so he probably won't throw up again while you're gone" She know all he will do is worry but it doesn't hurt to say it. He was struggling. He told Ana he would go home but seeing that Ted just got sick he makes him worry even more.

He's reluctant, "Okay we will go home now. She needs to eat and get ready for bed. I will have Gail pack us some food and I will come back and eat with you." She gives him a small smile. He's always thinking of her.

"Sounds good Mr. Grey." They kiss.

Christian tells Ted he will see him in a little while and Phoebe give him one of her hugs and off they go to Escala.
