Chapter 91 Cubby's spine surgery again
Izzy's POV
Once Jake and I were heading back to Cubby's room, we entered it and saw him crying.
"Cubby, are you alright?" I asked him.
"I am just scared of have my spine surgery again, Izzy!" Cubby said to me.
That's when Jake got on his bed, and rubbed his back, and said.
"Cubby remember when Izzy was scared of having her surgery?" Jake asked him.
"Yeah!" Cubby said to him.
"And I'm still scared of them." I said to the both of them.
"We, know." Cubby and Jake said to me.
"What is your point Jake?" Cubby asked him.
"My point is that you you wouldn't have gotten the chance to walk again Cubby. Now you're back, to square one again." Jake said to him.
"I know Jake I'm sorry." Cubby said to him.
"I think I'm the one that's supposed to apologize to you I didn't know I'd be breaking your spine with a bat, and calling you names before that happened and Cubby I'm really truly truly sorry. Can you forgive me please?" Jake asked him.
"Jake of course I could give you your my big brother I don't want anything to come between us, or our girlfriends." Cubby said to him.
"What did I say Jake, I told you he would accept your apology." I said to him.
"You were right Izzy, no matter how many times I screwed things up with Cubby, we always patch it up right buddy?" Jake asked him.
"Right big bro!" Cubby said to Jake as they high fived each other.
"Hey Izzy how were you able to calm yourself down, before you had your surgeries?" Cubby asked me.
"Well Cubby what I did to help me calm down was exactly what Jake just did he encouraged me to do the surgery. He's always been there for me cubby and he's going to be there for you well not technically be there for you but he's going to cheer for you he's going to pray for you and so am I because we love you so much." I said to him.
"Izzy that was beautiful." Jake said to me as he was crying.
"Oh Jake " I said to him.
"Sorry, I can't help myself." Jake said to me.
"Can you help yourself to not cry in front of me or Cubby because right now, you're embarrassing us." I said to him.
"I have an idea, Jake how about the three of us watch an episode of iCarly on TV." I suggested.
"Yeah!" They both said to me.
"Oh sweet, I love the pilot! episode!" I said to myself as I was watching with the boys.
"hahaha Spencer Shay is hilarious!" Cubby said as he was pointing and laughing at the same time.
"Isn't Spencer a sculptor?" Jake asked me.
"Yes he is why do you ask?" I asked him.
"because I have a hunch that pretty soon we are going to watch the very last episode of the show and we had to wait four seasons until squirrel camera caught on fire." Jake said to me.
"Actually Jake, the show was longer than that." I said to him.
"yeah Jake the still had seven seasons not four I think your getting mixed up with other shows." Cubby said to him.
"Well what about Henry Danger, that show ended really fast already." Jake said to us.
"Jake it was time for them to end just like it was time for every other show to end." I said to him.
"what what about Drake and Josh?" Jake asked us.
"What about Drake Josh Jake?" Cubby asked him.
"Are they going to come back, are they doing a reboot, what's going on with those two brothers?" Jake asked us.
"I heard that Drake Bell said he's going to work on something with Josh Peck Brandon the show bad but it won't be like the original so it will be something cool and different." I said to him.
"Not only that Izzy, I heard that Jamie Lynn Spears is coming back and she's going to try and work with the rest of her Zoey 101 cast to bring the show back." Cubby said to me.
What about the old 90s show on Nickelodeon what was that show called again oh yeah Rugrats is that show coming back?" Jake asked us.
"Yes Jake but it won't be the same like the original and I also heard that they're doing the CGI movie version of it with real people playing their parents." I said to him.
"Well that's stupid, why are they doing a CGI movie of Rugrats?" Jake asked me.
"I don't know maybe did just one of them introduce newcomers to the show and old comers who are now parents watching the show with their kids or maybe it's just because I want to get more money." I said to him.
"Well you know what's show they should bring back? The Naked Brothers Band!" Jake said to us.
'I don't know Jake, Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff I don't think they want to come back to do a kids show again I mean the show's been on will my generation so I don't think that's going to happen." I said to him.
"Okay what about girl Meets world on Disney channel they should bring that show back." Jake said to us.
"I loved that show, especially when it had August maturo playing Auggie on the show. Cuz he reminds me of Cubby." I said to Jake as I looked at Cubby.
"okay why does every Disney channel actor kid top to remind you of me?" Cubby asked me.
"Because you're cute and funny!" I said to him.
"Aww." Thanks, Izzy." Cubby said to me as he blushed.
"Yeah Levi from Ravens home reminds me of you and Michael from Mary Poppins reminds me of you." I said to him as he blushed even more.
"did you guys hear about Cameron Boyce's death?" Cubby asked us.
"Yeah I heard about that is 7 news that he died over a seizure called epilepsy America weather condition he was dealing with when he was younger thought. Now ask Caesar he had killed him in his sleep." I said to him.
"Yeah I feel bad for his parents I mean at least he's somewhere he can enjoy himself and he's in a better place." Jake said to us.
"Jake what's more better being dead, or being alive." Cubby asked him.
"Alive definitely alive!" Jake said to him.
"Hey do you guys want to play would you rather?" I asked them.
"I'm down for a little bit of would you rather." Jake said to me.
"Yeah me too Izzy." Cubby said to me.
"okay I'm start since I'm a girl." I said to them as they both just blink their eyes in confusion.
"OK cubby would you rather eat a bucket of worms or save Captain hook's hand, from a crocodile." I said to him.
"I would definitely eat a bucket of worms on unless it's gummy worms and not real ones cuz that's disgusting." Cubby said to me.
"you wouldn't just do the other one save Captain hook's hand from a crocodile?" I asked him.
"No but then he wouldn't be Captain Hook!" Cubby said to me.
"True!" I said to him.
"My turn!" Cubby said to be as you turn to Jake.
"Okay Jake would you rather make out with the Brian Griffin from family Guy or go ten whole days without no clothes on." Cubby said to him.
"I would definitely make out with Brian, as long as it's your sister." Jake said to him.
"Okay I'll go next!" Jake said as he then turned to me.
"Okay Izzy would you rather go visit sesame Street or take me out on a date in the Pacific ocean underwater." Jake said to me.
"I would love to go to sesame Street but I would definitely go on that date with you underwater in the Pacific ocean because well it's beautiful down there and it's wet and there's a lot of fishes." I said to him as he blushed.
"sweet my turn again!" I said as I looked out the both of them this time.
"Okay this next one is for the both of you." I sent to them as I started.
"Okay boys would you rather guest star in a live-action movie or in a TV show and which TV show what you guest star in?" I asked them.
"I want to say that I would love to guest star in Spider-Man homecoming!" Cubby said to me.
"What about you Jake?" I asked him.
"Can I choose both?" Jake asked me.
"Sure why not!" I said to him.
"okay I kind of agree with cubby about guest starring in Spider-Man homecoming because I would love to take you on a date with that. And also, I would have loved to guest on Good luck Charlie because you would be in it as Charlie's cousin." Jake said to me.
"How come Jake gets to choose two of those and I don't?' Cubby asked us.
"Because I'm her boyfriend and you're not so hahaha!" Jake." Said to him.
"well that's not fair I wanted to answer both truth or dares but you had choose both I can't believe you Jake." Cubby said to him.
"Color the pretty tiger!" Jake said to him as he handed him a coloring book with crayons.
"Crayons, sweet!" Cubby said as he started coloring the tiger.
"Izzy the game was awesome!" Jake said to me.
"Thank you Jake!" I said to him.
"Did I but I wanted to choose two truths or dare.
"Color the pretty tiger!" Jake said to him as Cubby proceeded to color the tiger.
"Okay time to play never have I ever!" I said to the boys.
"Cool I can't wait to play it!" Jake said to me.
"Okay put your hands up all tens." I said to the boys as they did.
"Okay Jake this first questions for you." I said to him.
"Have you ever had a crush on Marina?" I asked him.
"No!" Jake said to me as hands kept his hands up.
"OK Cubby, have you ever had a crush on Stormy?" I asked him.
"Yes!" Cubby said as he put one finger down.
"Okay Jake, have you ever made out with Marina?" I asked him.
"No!" Jake said to me as he still kept his hands up.
"Okay this game is boring." Cubby said to me.
"Did you just say this game is boring?" I asked him as he nodded his head yes.
"You know what we're just going to continue playing the game." I said to Cubby.
"I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME ANYMORE." Cubby said to me as he was beginning to throw a fit.
"okay we're going to just play the game you can just continue throwing a fit I don't care." I said to him as I turned to Jake.
"Anyway Jake have you ever kissed Santa?" I asked him.
"No!" Jake said to me.
"Congratulations you won the game!" I said to him.
"Yay!" Jake said to me.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL ANYMORE, I WANT TO GO HOME!" Cubby said while screaming.
"I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE SURGERY, THIS HOSPITAL GOWN MAKE ME LOOK STUPID AND THE WORST PART IS THAT YOU HIT ME WITH A BAT!" Cubby said while screaming again.
"Can we let that go? Like come on." Jake said to him.

"What a baby!" Jake said to him as Cubby started to cry even more.
"Jake not is not nice to say Cubby." I said I said to him as I hit him in the arm.
"Ouch!" Jake said as he was rubbing his arm.
"Stop crying you big baby." Jake said to Cubby as Jake then kicked his knee making Cubby now cry in pain.
"Ouch Izzy, Jake kicked me in the knee and it hurts." Cubby said to me.
"JACOB ALEX HUTCHINSON KEEP YOUR LEGS TO YOURSELF!" I said to him while yelling.
"I'm sorry Cubby." Jake said to him as he apologized to him.
"Oh perfect frozen peas!" I said to myself as I placed the Frozen pea packet on Cubby's knee.
"Ewe, I hate peas there disgusting." Jake said to himself.

"Jake I apologize for making fun of you." Cubby said to him.
"Yeah I'm sorry too!" Jake said to him as they hugged.
Jake's POV
After Cubby and I apologised to each other, he started to cry again.
"I DON'T STILL DON'T WANT THE SURGERY!" Cubby said as he was crying.
"what's the matter baby?" I asked him.
"I don't want to do the surgery dad." Cubby said to me.
"But son you need to do the surgery if you don't respond will break more and you will not be able to walk again so I demand you to do the surgery right now or else you're grounded." I said to him.
"Butt daddy, I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO. THE SURGERY." Cubby said to me.
"Hey don't you back sass to me son, you are going to do the surgery and that's final." I said to him.
"Mom dad being mean to me." Cubby said to Izzy.
"He's just telling you to do the right thing Cubby." Izzy said to him.
"Okay I'll do the surgery!" Cubby said to us.
"That's my boy!" I said to him.
"We are so proud of your Cubby." Izzy said to him as we both kissed him on the cheek.
Cubby's POV
As I was having fun playing the son as Jake and Izzy we're having fun being the parents, the doctor came in.
"Cubby, we are ready for you in the operating room." Dr. Simmons said to me.
"Okay well you be operating on me?" I asked Dr. Simmons.
"Oh no God heavens no I'm not doing the operation, not what after what happened last year." Dr. Simmons me.
"What happened last year?" I asked him.
"Trust me you do not want to know at all so please don't bring that up." Dr. Simmons said to me.
"Oh my." I said to him.
Anyway, Dr. Simmons started to roll my hospital bed to the operating room I start to get nervous but then I remembered what Jake said to me.
"It's only a surgery you are going to do all right we love you, be good luck!" Jake's conscience said to me.
As we finally made it to the operating room, they started to get me ready.
At the doctors and nurses were moving me to the operating table they turned my body around so they can operate on my spine.
"OK cubby we are ready. what we want you to do now, is start counting down from 10 to 1." The nurse said to me as I started to count down as they put it in the oxygen mask that had the anesthesia inside it on my face.

Izzy's POV
It was 11:08 a.m, and Cubby was already in surgery.
"Well it's 11:08 and Cubby just got into surgery." I said to Jake but he fell asleep on the couch.
"And I am talking to nobody!" I said to myself as I just sat down on the couch looking at Jake sleeping.
I didn't want to bother Jake so what I did was pick them up and put them on my lap and just let him sleep in my arms.
"Sweet dreams Jakey love you!" I whispered ro him softly as i kissed his cheek.
Jake's POV
As I started to wake up, I noticed that I was in Izzy's arms.
"Izzy, what's going on, and did Cubby go to surgery already?" I asked her as I got off of her.
"Yes he did Jake Cubby did go to surgery he's already in there right now." Izzy said to me as I picked her up and put her in my arms.
"Jakey, do you think Cubby's going to be okay?" Izzy ask me actually started to yawn.
"He's going to be okay Izzy I promise you. Now you can take your nap." I said to her as she fell asleep in my arms.
Izzy's POV
I started to wake up in Cubby's hospital room, but the only difference was that it was empty and they only went up to the couch for some weird reason.
"Jake Jake Jake where are you Jake." I called for him but no answer that's when I heard someone crying outside the hallway, saying something about Cubby.
"So I got off of the couch, and started to run to Jake.
"Wait I can run?" I asked myself as looked at leg and it wasn't broken.
"Weird, all well. JAKE!" I said to myself as I ran to him as he was crying on the floor.
"Jake what happened?" I asked him as I saw him holding an object in his hand.
"What's that?" I asked him as I looked at the object, it looked familiar to me and as I looked at it closely, it was none other than Cubby's bandana.
"Why would Jake have Cubby bandanna, and where is Cubby?" I asked myself as I said Cubby too many times Jake started to cry on Louder.
"Izzy, Cubby didn't he didn't survive the the the SURGERY!" Jake said to me as I dropped my phone on the floor.
After I heard what Jake just said my phone cracked and I fell to the floor alongside Jake crying hard.
"So, no only we lost cubby but we also lost Kobe Bryant and Cameron Boyce oh my God oh my God CUBBY!" Jake and I both said as we cried.
As Jake stop crying I couldn't stop crying myself so he brought me into a hug I continued to cry on his chest holding my broken phone in my hands.
As Jake took my phone, he looked at it to check how bad the crack is.
"How bad is the crack?" I asked him while I was still sobbing.
"It's not that bad just a small crack."Jake said to me as I was still SOBBING.
As I woke up from my nightmare, I didn't noticed I dropped my phone on the floor as I picked it up, I saw a crack on the screen.
"No no no no no no no no no no!" I said to myself.
"Izzy you had another nightmare didn't you?" Jake asked me as I nodded my head yes but that didn't matter right now my phone screen cracked.
"Oh my God Izzy your phone." Jake said to me.
"It's cracked Jake my phone it's cracked my screen is cracked can you fix it?" I asked him.
"Sure! When we get back home tonight first thing tomorrow morning I am going to the Apple store, so they can give you a new screen." Jake said to me.
"oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Jake I love you!" I said to him.
"okay okay okay don't squeeze me to death." Jake said to me.
"Jake I'm not John Cena. Who was actually a pro wrestler and now he is the host of the new Nickelodeon series are You smarter than a 5th grader." I said to him.
"Yeah that is true, you are way hotter than John Cena." Jake said to me as we both laughed.
"oh come on Jake when he first met me, you thought I wasn't hot." I sent to him.
"That is so not true Izzy I pacifically said that you are hot when we were younger and I only said that because we were friends." Jake said to me.
"So Izzy, what was your nightmare about?" Jake asked me as tears came down my cheek again.
"Well it started when I woke up on the same couch that I woke up now, and you weren't in there so I walked out of the room and I heard you crying because you said in my nightmare that Kobe didn't make it through his surgery." I said to him as I started to cry.
"Whoa that must have been really really bad one for you." Jake said to me.
"Yeah it was bad I couldn't stop crying in my nightmare I can't stop crying now. Jake I'm worried that my nightmare will come true." I said to him.
"Izzy I assure you that your nightmare will not come true I promise you that you know why? Because Cubby is brave and strong he can do this he's already asleep during the surgery he won't be on anything." Jake said to me.
As Jake hugged me, I hid my head in his chest and started to continue crying as Jake was rubbing my back.
"Shhhh shhhh, it's okay it's okay my princess it's okay it was only a nightmare it was only a nightmare it's okay it's okay my love." Jake said to me as he was continuing rubbing my back.
"Hey I have an idea, how about I take you out for a walk around the hospital would you like that?" Jake asked to me as I nodded my head yes.
Jake's POV
so I took Izzy out for a stroll around the hospital to take her mind off a Cubby for a while.
"How you feeling?" I asked her.
"A little better!" Izzy said to me as they gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Hey how about I buy you some ice cream my treat!" I suggested to her as she nodded her head yes.
So we went to the cafeteria, and got ice cream.
"What flavor do you like Izzy?" I asked her.
"Pink raspberry!" Izzy said to me.
"May I get one pink raspberry please!" I asked the nice gentleman as he handed me one pink raspberry ice cream.
"Here you go my love." I said to her as a little bit of ice cream got on her shirt.
"Oh man Jake, I got ice cream on my shirt." Izzy said to me.
As I grabbed a couple of napkins, I cleaned her up in the lady's/men's bathroom.
"There you go Izzy, all cleaned." I said to her as I kissed her cheek.
"Hey Izzy how about after we are done having our ice cream we go to the gift shop oh, and buy Cubby a get-well gift!" I suggested to her as she nodded her head yes.
"That's a fantastic idea, Jakey!" Izzy said to me.
So after Izzy and I were done having our ice cream, we went to the gift shop.
"What do you think cubby will like?" Izzy asked me.
"I have an idea how about we buy cubby a map holder, and decorated!" Izzy suggested to me.
"That is the most thoughtful idea you ever thought of Izzy! Cubby would love that!" I said to her.
So Izzy and I bought a bunch of mop holders with my money, with art supplies that we needed to decorate it with.
"Alright so we got paper, scissors glue markers, all of the art supplies we need to decorate Cubby's map holders." Izzy said to me.
So Izzy and I start to decorate the map holders right away even though it's going to be 12 hours until Cubby's done with the surgery, but we can make it through it.
But while we were decorating, Izzy and I heard a rooster call as we both smiling at each other.
"Ahoy, my pirate crew!" Peter pan said to us.
"Peter Pan! What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Oh I just came to visit my best pirate crew ever! So, how is everything going?" Peter Pan asked us.
"Well Peter Cubby fell down the stairs today." I said to him.
"whoa whoa whoa wait Cubby?" Peter asked me.
"No, Peter a dog fell down the stairs of course it was Cubby. Who else would it be?" I asked him.
"You're looking at her." Izzy said to me.
"Oh, yeah right forgot about you sorry!" I said to her.
"and thanks to Jake over here Cubby's spine broke more." Izzy said to Peter.
"Okay first of all it was half my fault. And second of all Cubby was the one who fell down the stairs because he was trying do the exercise you were doing going up and down the stairs remember?" I asked her.
"Oh yeah good point!" Izzy said to me.
"Okay, let's not play The blame game here, I already talked to the doctor and they said Cubby's going to be in surgery but 12 hours and it's really nice of you guys to literally do something to make him feel better." Peter Pan said to us.
"We know he's going to be in there for 12 hours, please don't rub it in." Izzy said to him.
"Izzy, what's wrong baby girl?" Peter asked her.
"Izzy had two nightmares already about Cubby." I said to him.
"Oh Izzy." Peter said to her as he picked her up walk to the couch and sat down and he was holding her.
"Shhhh shhhh I know it's scary to have nightmares to be honest with you guys when I was your age I had nightmares but do you know what I did to get them out?" Peter asked us.
"What...did...you...do Peter?" Izzy asked him as she was crying.
"I started to think happy thoughts and that got rid of the nightmares to replace them with good ones." Peter Pan said to us.
As Izzy was still crying, I walked up to her and starting to stroke her cheek to calm her down.
"Poor Izzy, Peter and I hate seeing you like this." I said to her.
"I just I just don't want chubby to die guys I mean Cubby and I go way back." Izzy said to us as we know because we were there.
"Izzy we know, I actually remember the day Peter, brought Cubby to Neverland." I said to her.
"Yeah Jake, I actually remember that day too, because you and Izzy we're just getting used to being in Neverland, and that's when I brought in a bundle of joy in my arms was actually sleeping." Peter said to us.
"and you guys kid accidentally a perfect and great job raising Cubby, all by yourselves I'm proud of you guys." Peter said to us.
"Well, we did had a Little help from you, Peter!" I said to him.
"yeah you're like Cubby's a father who never grew up." I said to him as Izzy laughed.
"Looks like someone's
happy again." I said to Peter as we all knew it was Izzy.
After Peter got tired of holding Izzy, he handed her to me.
"Here you go, Jake you can try to calm her down next." Peter said to me.
"Hey, Izzy it's scared and i know you are scared and worried Aour little Matey." I said to her.
"Jake my point of view of cubby being and surgery, is that I don't want him to die I don't want him to die I don't want him to die." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy tell her the truth I wasn't trying to be brave at all when you were in surgery I was being a big baby crying about it. It's really hard to deal with someone that's in surgery and you have to deal with that pain I understand that they'll get better. And I know that Cubby will get better I promise you that." I said to her as I was rubbing her shoulder."Jake my point of view of cubby being and surgery, is that I don't want him to die I don't want him to die I don't want him to die." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy to tell you the truth, I wasn't trying to be brave at all when you were in surgery I was being a big baby crying about it. It's really hard to deal with someone that's in surgery and you have to deal with that pain I understand that they'll get better. And I know that Cubby will get better I promise you that." I said to her as I was rubbing her shoulder.
