"Colby" Charlie said as he sat up and wiped his eyes.

"Charlie" Colby said with a smile on his face.

"What day is it?" Charlie asked looking around.

"That doesn't matter I'm just glad that you are awake." Colby said grabbing Charlie's hand.

"Okay. Fair enough." Charlie said.

"How are you feeling?" Colby asked with concern in his voice.

"I'm fine. My head just hurts a little bit but I'm okay." Charlie said rubbing his temples.

"Do you want me to get you some water?" Colby asked standing up.

"Yes please" Charlie said rubbing his hand over his forehead.

Charlie watched as Colby poured him some water in the paper cup. How did he get so lucky to find a guy like Colby.

"Thank you. You know you don't have to stay here." Charlie said after taking a sip of his water.

"Charlie don't be stupid I'm gonna stay here as long as it takes for you to get better." Colby said sitting back in the chair beside Charlie's bed.

Colby and Charlie began making small talk about whatever popped up. Colby was determined to keep Charlie's mind off of everything that had recently happened. They continued to talk until the heard a knock on the door.

"Hello?" Don asked as he opened the door.

"Don" Charlie said as a smile came upon his face.

"Hey buddy. How are you feeling?" Don asked walking up to the foot of the bed.

"I'm doing good. When can I go home. I miss my bed." Charlie said

"Well as a matter of fact the nurse said that the doctor will run some extra test and check your vitals and what not and then you can be home by the evening." Don said as he watched his brother perk up just a little bit.

"That's all I needed to hear." Charlie said trying to reach for the button to call the nurse.

"Hey easy now. Don't try to over do it and make matters worse." Colby said grabbing the smaller boy and pulling him back down.

"I'm not gonna over do it guys. I'm just gonna call the nurse so I can get outta here." Charlie said sounding a bit frustrated.

"I'll go and get the nurse." Don said with a chuckle.

Don stepped out of the room and went to go and search for the nurse and the doctor.

Back in the room Charlie was thinking of all the things that can go wrong and right with the test. Determining the probability of the test coming back positive or negative. The door slowly began to open and a older man with funny shaped glasses with a short lady with red hair by his side with a clip board.

"How are you feeling Mr. Eppes?" the nurse said in a soft voice.

"Ready to go home." Charlie said pulling the covers up slightly over his legs.

"So can he really go home tonight?" Colby asked standing up to face the doctor.

"Yes. Charles can return home this evening if everything checks out." the doctor said taking the clipboard from the nurse and looking at his papers.

"Well first we are gonna draw some blood okay." the nurse said walking over to the bed.

"Hey Charlie we're gonna step outside for a sec and we'll be right back." Colby said motioning for Don to follow him into the hallway.

Charlie watched as his brother and his boyfriend walk into the hallway. He had a pretty good idea what was being said but he wasn't completely sure.

"What's up." Don said.

"So what's the plan?" Colby asked.

"Plan?" Don asked confused.

"You know that he's not gonna sit still when he gets home. He's probably gonna run right to the garage and finish that equation he was working on." Colby said.

"I don't even know. Someone is gonna have to be there with him." Don said.

"Well I'll take the days off until everything is back to normal.." Colby said.

"Fine with me. You know how stubborn he gets" Don said with a laugh.

"Mr. Eppes." the nurse said peaking her head through the door.

"Everything okay?" Colby asked walking in behind Don.

"Let us get his blood to the lab and see what it says but so far everything seems to be in tip top shape." the doctor said as he followed out behind the nurse.

Time went by fast as the three men watched a movie that was on t.v. and laugh and joked. Charlie began to dose off a bit so Colby was going to sneak downstairs to the cafeteria and get a quick bite to eat.

"Hey Don. I'm gonna go see what they have to eat here." Colby said standing up.

"Okay. I was beginning to get a little hungry too." Don said.

"I'll call you when I get down there and let you know what they have." Colby said.

"Alright." Don said.

Grabbing his jacket and wallet Colby made his way to the door but to his surprise someone was coming into the room at the same time. Colby looked at the doctor who had returned with results and didn't like the facial expression he was wearing.

"Should we wake Charles?" the doctor asked.

"No let him rest. Is everything okay doc?" Don asked standing up and walking over to the door.

":I have some good news and some bad news." the doctor said.

"I want the good news first." Colby said.

"We caught it early and that's the best news right now." the doctor said.

"What's the bad news?" Don asked.

"We found something."

I'm sorry that this chapter came so late. I was sick and I'm finally feeling a little bit better so I made sure that I had it finish it. Since Christmas is this weekend I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
