Chapter 9:

Spencer's POV:

It's been a week since the accident where Mason fell out of the window. There has been a tiny bit of improvement, bout nothing special. Me and Toby are still deciding weather to have another baby or not.

Toby: Hey.

Toby walks into the room and I wake up from the noise of the door. He hands me a coffee as hi sits in the chair beside me.

Spencer: Have you thought any more about another baby?

Toby: Yes. I ink we should have another baby.

Spencer: You do.

Doctor: Knock, knock.

The doctor comes in and starts to talk to us.

Doctor: I have good news and bad news.

Toby: What's the good news?

Doctor: The good news is that his chances of survival have dramatically gone up from 30% to 70%.

Spencer: And what's the bad news?

Me and Toby practically holdup our breath as we wait for the life changing news.

Doctor: I'm sorry to tell you, but your son will never walk again.

Spencer: Ok.

The doctor leaves and I burst into tears.

Toby: At least his chances of survival have gone up.

Spencer: Toby, this is going to be so hard. We are going to have to move to another house that is wheelchair accessible.

Toby: I know. Now we know the outcome, we can start to jump over these hurdles.

Spencer: I know, I'm just a little stressed, I just want to know when he is going to wake up.

Toby's POV:

Me and Spencer wait 5 more agonising hours before another doctor comes in.

Doctor: We are going to try and wake him up.

The doctor try's, but there's no luck.

Doctor: We will try again, soon.

The doctor leaves and then Spencer decide to call her sister, who she hasn't seen in over 3 months.

Melissa: Spencer, it's been a while.

Spencer: I know and I want to tell you something. You know how you have a nephew, Mason

Melissa: Yeah. He's in hospital, I know. Allison contacted me a few weeks ago.

Spencer: Then why haven't you come to visit?

Melissa: Well, I'm on my way.

Spencer: I called you to tell you how much I need you, but you can forget it.

Spencer end the call in anger and then turns to look at our son.

Toby: Spencer, are you ok?

Spencer: I'm fine.

Toby: I'm gonna get a bother coffee, you want one?

Spencer: Please.

I leave the room and return with another two cups of coffee. As I enter the room, I can hear Spencer talking to Mason.

Spencer: You can do it, your almost there!

I'm astonished to find Mason is trying to open his eyes.i put the coffee down and grab his free hand.

Spencer: We are both here. You can do it, please, open your eyes.

Mason: Mom, dad?

Spencer's POV:

After a week of being in a coma, our beautiful son wakes up.

Toby: Oh my boy. I love you so much!

Spencer: I love you so much baby.

Mason: I love you to mom, and you dad.

Spencer: I'll get a doctor.

I leave the room and return with two doctors. We move away from our son and they start doing some checks.

Doctor 1: We are going to take Mason for a spinal scan and then tomorrow we may try and begin physical therapy.

Toby: Ok.

Spencer: We are going to stay right here, your gonna be ok.

Me and Toby kiss our son goodbye and he is wheeled away. He comes back within 15 minutes.

Doctor 1: The scans show that Mason hasn't, I repeat, hasn't got any spinal damage. The pressure went down on his spinal cord. He should be able to walk again.

Toby: Thank you God!

Doctor 1: We will leave you alone.

The doctors leave and I burst into tears.

Mason: Why are you crying mom?

I wipe my tears and smile at Mason.

Spencer: Because I'm so happy that your ok.

Mason: And I'm happy that you're my mom and you're my dad.

Toby: That's the best thing that I have heard in days, apart from your mom telling me she loves me.

We chuckle and then we wipe our tears.

Spencer: I'm gonna call the girls, tell them the good news.

Toby's POV:

About 30 minutes after Spencer called the girls, they are rushing in the room and are by Masons side.

Spencer: Ok, I think you should give him a bit of space, especially you Hanna.

The girls leave and then me and Spencer leave, promising that we will be back tomorrow.

Toby: Are you ok?

Spencer: I'm absolutely fine, I'm just so happy that Mason is ok.

Toby: We have barley managed to get any sleep this past week. We are going home and in the morning I'm going to work and I'll go straight to the hospital after work.

Spencer: Ok, I'm going to go to work, but not for the whole day.

Toby: Ok.

We arrive home and for some reason, I feel like carrying my wife in, bridal style.

Spencer: Am I really that special?

Toby: There's nothing more special than you and our children.

Spencer: I love you.

Toby: I love you to.

I carry Spencer upstairs. We take separate baths and then we eat some food. After that, we get intoned and watch a movie. We are halfway through 'If I Stay' and I hear Spencer crying.

Toby: Honey, what's wrong?

Spencer: Nothing, it's the movie, makes me cry every single time I watch it.

Toby: I think it's time to go to sleep anyway.

Spencer: Ok.

I give Spencer a peck on the head and then she falls asleep in my arms.

Toby: Goodnight my angel.

I kiss a photo of Mason on my phone and then put it on charge. I put my arms around Spencer and then fall asleep. I wake up the next morning at 6:30. I carefully, and silently get up and get dressed. Then I go down stairs and have some breakfast.

Spencer's POV:

I wake up and wait for Hanna to pick me up. She finally does and we drive to work.

Hanna: So how you feeling?

Spencer: Fine.

Hanna: Ok, so I think we have the girls coming in to collect their dresses and we are getting a delivery of the Christmas vintage stock.

Spencer: Ok.

We arrive at work. We walk into the store and sit in our usual spot.

Spencer: Are you sure that your ok with me getting off at 12:00?

Hanna: Of course I am, you need to be with your son, until he gets better.

Spencer: Thanks Hanna.

About 2 hours after opening, the girls collect their dresses, shoes and accessories.

Hanna: They chose some of my favourite dresses.

Spencer: I know, they have good taste.

I hear a beep from outside, it's Toby.

Hanna: Go, I'll be fine.

I hug my friend and then leave the store.

Toby: How was work?

Spencer: It was good, for the part that I was working.

Toby: Ok, let's go see our son.

Spencer: Yep.

Toby keeps one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on my thigh. We arrive at the hospital and I walk to Masons room as fast as I can. I walk into his room, but he isn't there!

Spencer: MASON! Where are you!

Toby: What's wrong?
