Danny p.o.v

Jorel is going to love the gifts my parents have gotten him for his birthday even though it has already been but I didn't have time to go out to see them until now. Jorel and I were on tour with our band when it was his birthday so my parents said they would wait until my husband and I got home before he could get his gifts. I just hope I can make it back in time before he goes to sleep tonight because it is getting quite late now and I want to get back before he goes to bed. The traffic doesn't seem to be that bad until I hit the grape vine which is probably the worst stretch of freeway into Los Angeles. I quickly manage to make my way through and turn off when I say the right junction. I know there are a few more intersections and roads to travel before I get home.

"Hey baby," I say when I answer a call from Jorel. I pulled over to answer the call so I am not being an irresponsible driver. "Danny, I want you home," he tells me and I chuckle at the neediness of my loving husband. "Soon, Jorel. I just made it past the grape vine and into town so I would say I have about fifteen minutes maybe more if the traffic is bad," I tell him and I chuckle again when he squeals. He is probably just as excited as I am about getting home and spending time with him put I am more tired from being in this truck on the road for hours. "Okay babe, just be careful okay?" he tells me and I nod even though I know he can't see it. "I'll be careful baby. I might be longer than fifteen minutes because I might go and get dinner because man I am hungry right now," I tell him and he chuckles.

"Okay Danny, go feed yourself and I will see you later," he tells me and I knew he was a little disappointment but it wasn't my fault. "I will baby, see you later and I love you," I tell him and I could hear Louie in the background barking. "I love you too Danny. Please come home soon, I can't survive without you," he tells me. I made no efforts to hide my laugh from him. "I am sure you can survive at least half an hour without me Jorel baby," I tell him and he sighs again. Poor Jorel, I think he really missed me this time. I have not been away from him for longer than 24 hours since we moved in together and I have been away for three days straight. "But Danny, seventy-two hours is way too long for me," he tells me, slightly whining.

I just wanted to be in his arms now that he was whining and I knew he really really missed me. "Don't worry boo, it's not going to be too much longer I promise," I tell him and he cheered again. I decided since he would hang up to make the journey to the nearest fast food place so I could grab some food, eat it and then make it home to my boo before he loses his mind. He stayed on the phone until I pulled up at the drive through and he hung up which was nice. I was starting to get excited to see my husband again and that call didn't help me although it was nice to hear his voice again because I was starting to miss him. I pulled over to eat my dinner because I didn't want to eat and drive either.

I thought the rest of the drive back home was quite uneventful for the most part until I got to a particular intersection when I was about ten minutes away from home. There was a green light for the way I was going but not for the other side so I decided to proceed with going on and then mine and Jorel's worst nightmare happened. I saw the bright headlights coming towards me before I felt the impact of the truck on the side of my little pickup. All I could feel as I got hit was pain on my left side as it was the side that got the direct impact. I didn't roll like I was expecting and I lost my vision for a few seconds. I was more worried about Jorel than I am about myself right now. I just don't want him to worry about me.

I couldn't reach my phone after my truck landed on it's side so I could text him to let him know I love him. I don't think I am going to survive this. The pain has now spread all across my body and I felt sick. I know there is blood, coming from multiple sites on my body as well which is awful. I heard people stop their cars and people were rushing to help. "Sir, are you awake?" someone called to me and I could barely keep my eyes open let alone answer him. "anyone calling the ambulance?" he asks someone else who was there. "Yeah, they said they'd be here as soon as possible which could be five minutes," a woman tells him just as I pass out.

~Jorel p.o.v~

Danny should be home by now. He doesn't take this long to eat his dinner I know this but it was worrying me more that I couldn't get hold of him. If I call him he will pull over and answer my call but he isn't and he should have been home an hour ago. Then the house phone rung and I nearly fell over trying to answer it. "Hello?" I answered feeling more nervous than normal. I have a bad feeling about this. "Is this Jorel Murillo?" a female asks me and I was about to nod but I realised I was on the phone. "Yeah, I am Jorel. Why?" I ask, feeling more and more nervous as the time went on. Something bad must have happened on his way home. "I'm calling from UCLA medical centre, you are the husband to Daniel Rose Murillo aren't you?" she asks.

My heart sank, I was right something bad has happened to Danny and now a million thoughts are running through my head. "Yes, what's happened?" I ask her and I could hear some typing on her computer. "Your husband was brought in after being involved in a car crash and is currently in ICU. We have to inform his emergency contacts and you are top of the list so that's why I am calling you," she says and I held back the tears. He isn't dead, just very injured by the sounds of it. She would have told me if he had passed away. "I'll be there as soon as I can," I tell her and she ends the call not too much longer after that, she told me a doctor would talk to me first and explain his injuries to me and then I could see my baby again.

I was shaking as I called Theresa to let her know so she could take Scarlett to see him if she wanted and she would know why Danny can't have her next weekend like they had planned to do. I don't even know if Danny will still be here by next weekend. She said she'd come and see Danny sometime during the week and she would sort the custody out later when Danny wakes up and is back home. I was talking to George on the phone the entire ride to the hospital because I was afraid and I need someone to calm me down. He did a great job to calm me down and by the time I got to the main entrance I was feeling better. He said it was too late for him to come tonight but he would come and see Danny tomorrow.

I asked the lady at the reception desk where the intensive care unit was and she told me to follow the signs but it was on a different floor to this one. It took me about ten minutes to find intensive care. Then I used the hand gel like they ask you to and I buzzed and asked about Daniel Murillo and told them I was his husband. They let me in and pretty much a doctor greeted me straight away and took me to the family room so he could let me know what Danny's injuries are and what the next steps are in his treatment. They told me that he has mostly bruises and cuts all over with the exception of his head and spine. He has a spinal fracture and a skull fracture and they said they saw swelling and pressure on his brain which was bad.

They said they have done everything to make sure that he has the best chance of survival and the rest was up to Danny while he is in his coma to recover and let us discover what permanent damage this is going to leave behind. I told George all off this so he could pass the information on because I just wanted to be by Danny's bedside and not worry about answering the phone for at least the first 24 hours. They told me I could stay for as long as I wanted providing I did take some time out to take care of myself as well. I walked into the room they have Danny in and I just saw tubes and machines everywhere. He had a neck brace on to keep his head still because of the damage to his spine. I saw a brace on his back as well so it heals in the right place I am guessing.

"Hey Danny, I didn't think that we would be meeting up like this baby," I tell him even though I doubt that he could hear me. I played with the bit of hair he had that I could touch because they had a bandage where they were trying to release the pressure on the brain. I hoped that if he could react then it could let him know that I was there but he was deeply sedated so I doubt that is going to happen but at least I know that his heart is still beating. I kissed his forehead because I could still get to that. I sat down and held his hand just as another nurse came in to write down his vitals at that time. "Hello, are you Daniel's husband?" he asks me and he seemed happy that we were men who were married to each other.

"Yeah, I'm Jorel. I'm Danny's husband," I tell him and he smiles. Danny was not suffering because he didn't really know what is going on to his body. "I am Ethan and I am going to be the main nurse that you will see when it's time to give Danny medication and change the dressings and things like that," he tells me and I smiled at him. My bear is in safe hands here I can feel it. I am not sure that he knows how famous Danny and I are but I kind of like it if he didn't. "Don't worry Jorel, I have confidence that Danny is going to make a good recovery from this," he tells me and puts his hand on my shoulder. He must have a lot of experience comforting distressed partners at the bedsides of their loved ones.

I noted how he said a good recovery and not a full one but even I knew a crash as bad as this is going to leave something behind which is going to affect Danny in the years to come. It felt weird to hold Danny's hand and for him to not hold mine back but I am going to get used to it and one day soon I will be able to hold it again and he will squeeze it back. I told George that I will be staying with Danny tonight and then when he comes to see Danny in the morning I will go home and have a shower and get some food before coming back. I can sleep here, I know it's not the comfiest place in the world but it's better than nothing. I just want to snuggle up to him like we were supposed to tonight but we can't.

I don't think that they will let me lie down with him yet but it is something to ask Ethan. "Hey Ethan, would they complain if I lay with Danny tonight?" I ask him and he came to sit next to me. "As long as you are careful and he doesn't get moved around too much and it doesn't aggravate his injuries. It does sound like you two haven't been seeing each other for a few days," he says and that was fair enough. "Yeah he was visiting his parents three days ago and he was just about to come home when this happened and we haven't been apart like this since the day we got married," I tell him and he found that absolutely adorable. He watched as I carefully joined Danny on the bed and I rest my head on the back brace he has on.

Ethan got a spare blanket and covered me in it before mentioning they might be coming in a few times during the night to make sure Danny is doing okay but for the most part it will be just me and Danny together at last on the bed. I wanted to hear his voice again, see his smile that just makes me melt every time but I knew that wasn't going to happen for a little while. I just kiss his neck before I lay back where I was before, making sure he didn't move an inch to make his injuries worse. "I love you Danny, I hope you will always remember that," I tell him as tears make their way down my cheeks. I can't lose him, I just can't. He means everything to me and I don't think I could survive without him.

I close my eyes, listening to the monitors beep softly in the background letting me know that my husband is still alive. I rest my hand near to my head while I rest on Danny's chest. I manage to fall asleep before the next doctor comes along to check on Danny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

George was there watching us when I woke up in the morning and I breathed a sigh of relief when I knew Danny was still alive. "Hey Jorel, I'm surprised they let you sleep up there to be honest but no one who has come in this morning has complained so far," George tells me and I give him the smallest of smiles because I couldn't manage any more than that. "I asked the main nurse and he said it was fine as long as I don't make Danny move and make his injuries worse. He knew that this has been the first time Danny and I have seen each other since he went to see his mom and dad," I tell George who did feel sorry for me. I am glad we don't have a tour coming up for a little while because I don't think I would be able to cope with that.

I carefully got off the bed and went back to holding Danny's hand but he isn't aware of me holding it because he is at the same level of sedation that he was at when I first saw him last night. "Are you going home for food and have a shower and then come back? I'll let you know if they are any changes to his condition while you are gone," he tells me and I agree. I am not going to battle with them and I will take care of myself. "Yeah, I need to feed Louie and make him go potty too before I come back. Did any of his stuff make it? I wasn't really talked to by the police after I arrived here," I ask George and he nodded when I asked the question.

"Yeah they said his suitcase was the only thing that survived and we'd have to go to the police station to pick it up. His truck is not gonna be fixable so the guys and I have suggested that we put a bit of money together and buy him a new model," George tells me. I like the thought behind all of that I wanted Danny to get a new truck. Maybe we could find the money to buy his dream truck. "Yeah, I'll go on my way back here and that sounds like a good idea to get Danny a new truck, he has done so much for us over the years so coming together and buying him a new one would be pretty amazing," I tell him and he was glad that I was on board. I had to let Danny's mom know because she was getting pretty worried but I fell asleep before I could.

I called his mom as I was driving home to let her know that Danny didn't quite make it home safely and he was hit by a drunk driver and recovering in the hospital she was shocked but I told her that they said he should be out of the coma sometime next week and then only time would tell what injuries he will have to deal with then. I also let her in on the plan and she said she would contribute to buying his truck even if he can't drive it he can be a passenger. We weren't going to buy it today, but we will buy it before he comes round. Then it can be a nice surprise when he comes home to see a brand new pickup truck of his dreams sitting in the driveway. I was soon home and in the shower cleaning up.

I grabbed a bite to eat when I got a text from George to say the doctor had told him that Danny was already showing signs of his condition improving which made me do a little victory dance in my seat. I knew my baby was strong and he is going to fight his battle for life and he is going to win. Jordon was there when I returned to the hospital, Danny's suitcase is in the trunk of my car and I was going to open it when I get home tomorrow. I am going to stay with Danny every night I can and I am going to be with him every step of the way, 'till death do us part. Always and forever. "Hey Jordon," I say and I take Danny's hand in mine again. "Hey Jorel, don't worry about Danny. He will recover, the swelling and pressure on his brain has already gone down a bit since yesterday," he tells me and I smiled.

I could see the difference as well considering they took part of his skull to help save his life. "I know. I am ready to look after Danny no matter what the outcome is," I tell them and I kissed the part of Danny's forehead I could touch and I swear there was a little flutter in his heart rate. They say people in comas can tell when their lovers are there and the heart rate does increase a bit. "His mom is going to help us get his new truck," I tell the other two and they smile. "I can't wait for him to see it. I talked to the dealer today and he said he was willing to lower the price because he does that after people have had accidents as long as we can prove Danny's truck is truly smashed." George says and I nod.

"It won't be too hard, it was on the news before because the truck driver had one too many. The cop showed me Danny's truck and I am honestly surprised he has survived the crash. He is so lucky," I say and show them the pictures I took of his beloved truck as it currently stands. It has no roof because they had to cut him out and it was pretty smashed up to begin with. George and Jordon were just as shocked as I was. "You're right Jorel, Danny is one lucky guy and whatever happens we'll support the pair of you through this," he says and I sit back down with Danny holding his hand and praying he wakes up soon. The fans don't know yet and I don't know when we are going to tell them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~one week later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up and nothing feels right. Something is missing from my head that's for sure and something is wrong with the rest of my body too. My eyes didn't like the bright lights from the hospital room but they soon adjusted and I saw George sitting on the chair looking at his phone. One of the weird things I felt was Jorel who is lying by my side with his head on my chest and his hand is there too. I feel very tired and I wasn't quite breathing on my own yet. I didn't have the ventilator in anymore but I could feel that I did have it at some point. There was no nurse to be seen just yet and I was just trying to adjust to everything. Jorel was fast sleep so there wasn't going to be any form of conversation with him just yet.

George noticed after I stared at him for a little while, maybe five minutes. "Oh, hey Danny, how are you feeling?" he asks, his voice had taken on a softer tone while he was talking to me. I tried to talk but it wasn't going to happen until I feel a bit more awake so I gave him a thumb in the middle sign. He ran his fingers through my hair but refused to touch one side of my head. "They might take you to surgery tomorrow Danny," he tells me and that just left me confused. "Why?" I manage to say but my voice was very scratchy and it did hurt to talk at that moment. "You have a bit of your skull missing on the right side just to release the pressure that you had built up in there," George explains and helps me drink some water even though I couldn't really move.

"Oh, that does explain why my head feels a bit weird," I say and I was getting better at talking with each sentence. I am recovering alright from the head injuries I think although it does feel a bit weird to be awake right now. He was surprised that I am recognising him and I wasn't as badly affected as they thought I might be. "Yeah, it will be alright soon buddy don't worry about it," he tells me and I smiled. Jorel was still asleep on my chest and I was just soaking up the time I get to spend with him for a while since I don't think it is the same day as the crash it is probably a few days later. "I'm not gonna worry, I am glad I am not in pain right now though," I tell him and he went to wake Jorel up a little bit.

"I wasn't asleep I swear," Jorel says and I chuckled which nearly made him fall off the bed. "Why didn't you wake me?" Jorel asks a few minutes later when he notices that I was awake and I was off the life support. "Because you were finally sleeping decently and I wasn't sure Danny was going to be awake once they took the sedation away and weaned him off," George says to Jorel and then I finally got my kiss from Jorel and I knew that he missed me just as much as I missed him. I couldn't move my neck because of a collar brace and I knew there was a brace on my torso as well. Just as Jorel got off the bed, much to my dislike a doctor walked in and was happy to see me awake and the guys were happy.

"Hello Danny, I am Doctor Rhett and I would just like to ask you a few questions on your memory and just how you feel overall right now," the doctor says and I was quite happy to answer his questions. "First off, what was the last thing that you can remember?" he asks me and it takes me a couple of minutes to think about it. "I can remember the truck hitting me and my pickup landing on its side and someone asking me if I could hear them then I passed out," I tell him and the doctor was pretty amazed by how much I remember. He then asked my how much I could feel of my own body and I said that I could feel up to my waist and any further than that I couldn't feel anything. I was trying to hide how upset I was when he said it was very unlikely that I will be able to walk again.

It was like my trip has just destroyed my career and everyone else's in the process. I could have the neck brace off once I have the surgery to get the plate in my head to hide the gaping hole I have in my skull now. The back brace can come off at night but I have to basically wear it all day and they would get me a wheelchair to go home in in a couple of days. I kept composed until the doctor left and even then, I only let a few tears fall. "Aw Danny, don't cry baby. I'm going to support you through this. The others are too and we will figure this all out," Jorel says and he climbs back onto the bed and pulls me close to him and my head was on his shoulder for once. That hug just broke all my composure and I just sobbed my heart out on Jorel's shoulder and George and Jorel were trying to comfort me.

"But I've just ruined everything?" I ask them and they shake their heads. "It was about time our concerts were disabled friendly anyway. We can figure some creative way to get you on the stage again Danny," George says and Jorel just straight up snogged me. So, I know Jorel is going to support me then. I kissed him back and Jorel has a big smile on his face. So, we know the permanent damage so far just seems to be paralysis from the waist down and that is about it. We have surgery scheduled in the morning so they decided to keep me from eating until then and I was going to be just fine. I will come out of the surgery with a metal plate in my head and no more brain damage hopefully.

George left and my mom walked in and she hugged me gently straight away. I hugged her back and I was trying not to cry again. "Hey Margo," Jorel says and my mom hugs him. "Hey Jorel and hey my little guy," she says to Jorel and I. I gave her a smile even though I am probably about to deliver the worst news ever to her. "Hey mama," I tell her and she was happy that I could talk to her. She sat right next to my left hip but I couldn't feel it and she had my left hand in hers. "I am guessing you didn't get good news baby boy?" she asks me, she wiped the traces the tears had left behind on my face. "They said I'm never going to walk again mama, I can't feel my legs," I tell her and she was shocked.

"Aw baby, don't worry. It's not the end of the world, I know you are upset right now and it will be hard to adjust but you will get through it. I know you are my strong lion for a reason," she tells me. Then she hugged me again and kissed my cheek and let me snuggle up to her as much as I could while she was relaxing me enough I could fall asleep comfortably. I was still quite tired but I was happy to be here with my mom and Jorel and to actually survive the crash because it was quite bad. "Just close your eyes and rest Danny, you have done really well this afternoon," Jorel says and gives me a kiss on the lips and I close my eyes and fall asleep in my mom's safe arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1 week later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have now been home for about 4 days and I feel like I have adjusted to being in a wheelchair nicely now. Jorel carries me up to bed every night and he said that was his favourite part as well as brining me breakfast in bed each morning before carrying me downstairs for most of the day. Today I get to see Scarlett for the first time and they said they had a surprise for me. Theresa knows I am know paralysed from the waist down and she said that she would try to prep Scarlett for that but it was okay if I explained it better. I can't play with her in the same way I used to but her step father Jorel would be able to and I was okay with that. "Scarlett will be here any minute baby. Are you okay?" he asks me and kisses my lips.

I kissed back and smiled. "Yeah, I am excited to see my little girl again. I missed her a lot these last two or three weeks," I tell him and the doorbell rings. I stayed in the living room because it was easier for me to move around there than it was the front door. "Is daddy home?" I hear Scarlett ask and I was happy, in a few short moments I will see my daughter again. "Why don't we go and look?" Theresa asks and Scarlett loved that idea. It took Scarlett two minutes to find me with Jorel hinting I was in the living room. Scarlett and Theresa were shocked when they saw me but Scarlett ran and climbed up onto my lap so she could hug me as tightly as possible. "Daddy I missed you so much," she says and I hugged her back.

"I missed you too Scarlett, Daddy's all better now though," I tell her even though that is technically a lie. "No you're not daddy, your legs don't work anymore," she says and I bet the hug was weird for her because of the back brace I have on under my shirt makes my chest a bit like it has a lot of plastic on it. George was already working on something to get me to perform comfortably because no one in the band wanted me to leave despite my new disability. "I know but that isn't fixable baby girl," I tell her and she went to get her bag because she said she had something for me and Theresa gave me a hug. "How have you been coping Danny?" she asks me and I am glad we are still friends at times like this.

"It's been a bit of a struggle, but I think I am doing alright now. I am used to the fact that I am most likely going to be this way for the rest of my life but I am not angry. It looked like I should have died that night so to be alive now I am very grateful for that," I tell her, being honest and Jorel knew I was being honest because he managed to get it out of me a few days ago when I had a really bad day. "That's really good Danny, don't forget you can talk to any of us if you feel like you need to rant," she tells me. "Thanks Reese I appreciate it. I just hope this doesn't affect Scarlett too badly," I tell her. Scarlett runs back into the room and climbed back onto my lap and handed me a card which had a guitar on it and it was a cute little get well soon card. "Thank you Scarlett," I tell her and she had a big smile.

"You're welcome Daddy," she tells me and it was time for Theresa to go because she had work and we were having Scarlett for the weekend. "It's nearly time for your surprise Danny," Jorel tells me and I was both excited and confused. He's been hinting at this ever since I left hospital but I have no idea what this surprise is. "You've been saying that for a few days now. Am I actually getting this surprise today or nah?" I ask him and he chuckles. "You are getting it today don't worry Danny," he tells me. Scarlett was excited for me because she said I need to be happy. She says she wants to be a doctor so she can cure my legs.

"Sir, your surprise is here," Jorel says nearly an hour later and I was starting to get interested. I want to see what it is and I am wondering why he has this smirk on his face. I don't trust that smirk. He told Scarlett to cover my eyes and he was going to wheel me out to the front yard where this surprise would be. I was trying to see if I could hear anything that would give the surprise away but I know that Jorel wouldn't be that silly. "Are you ready to uncover daddy's eyes now?" Jorel asks Scarlett and I felt her enthusiastic nodding from where I was. Then she got off my chair and I was just completely shocked by what I saw. The truck of my dreams was sitting in the driveway and Jordon was there with the keys in his hands. "Your new ride awaits my friend," he says and I was confused.

"I can't drive this though?" I ask him and that's when they both smirked at me. "Oh, you can Danny boy, it's an automatic and has been specifically adapted for you. We all pitched in to pay for it: Me, Jorel, George, Dylan, management and your mom," he says and I had tears in my eyes. I wasn't completely screwed up. "Oh my god guys, this is amazing," I say and Jorel picks me up to hug me tightly even though my legs don't work. "Wanna test it out?" Jordon asks and he waves the keys in front of me. "Yeah, I am a bit nervous though," I tell him. Jorel puts me into the driver's seat for first time since the crash and my nerves clearly showed. "Don't worry Danny, I will guide you through all of it," Jordon tells me and I felt a bit relieved.

Jorel let Jordon took me out for the first drive in the car and I had a hand gear thingy which meant I could pull it towards me to for accelerate and push it forward for braking which was pretty neat and I didn't really have to worry about the gears. "Oh my god, this is the best way to get independent," I tell him and I could see he was glad I was happy and back on the road again. I was confident to drive and I did it pretty well and I could tell Jorel was worried about me when we got back but Jordon taught me all I need to know about being able to drive my truck again and I think it is safe to say I aced it.

Jorel greeted us and soon as we got back and he picked me up and held me tight when I was ready to get out of the truck. "How did you do Danny?" he asks me and I had a big smile on my face. "I did really good. I was scared at first but once Jordon told me what to do I was fine," I tell him and I knew he was happy when his little plan works and I was happy that I can drive again. Jorel carried me into the house because my wheelchair is now inside so it was easy for him to carry me there then bring it out and put me down in it. Scarlett was happy to see me smiling when she walked into the room. Jordon was going to get picked up by Randi in a little while. Jordon wants to hang out with me and Jorel and he was happy to spend some time with me.

I was only in my wheelchair for a little while because Jordon lifted me up and placed me on his lap and I rested my head on his shoulder. "Thank you guys for the truck," I tell them and they smiled at me. "Don't worry about paying us back for it Danny. This is us paying you back for all the work that you have done for us during the last few years since you have joined the band which is over due to be honest," Jordon tells me and Jorel agrees with him. I felt a little bit overwhelmed but I knew this was going to happen eventually. Everyone was happy with the influence I have apparently had on their lives and they wanted to repay me for it and my modified truck has got to be the best present ever.

The rest of the day was very relaxed. I managed to figure out a way to play with Scarlett. I managed to get myself from the chair to the floor and we played with her dolls house. She was so happy that I could play with her even though I can't play chase games with her as easily as I used to. "I love playing with you Daddy," Scarlett tells me just I know Jorel was in the room probably about to announce dinner. "I love playing with you too Scarlett," I tell her and I knew Jorel had pictures of us and my wheelchair is right next to my now useless legs which didn't bother me as much as it did as first. "Dinner time for my two-favourite people," Jorel says and Scarlett puts her toys away before she runs to the dining table. Jorel lifted me up once again and carried me to the dining table and we ate dinner.

After dinner I went back to playing with Scarlett and the doll house and she was happy to spend more time with me because she had the time that I was out playing with her papa so she was one very happy and spoiled little girl right now. We played until it was almost bed time and then I got carried up the stairs and I got Scarlett ready for bed and we lay together so I could read to her as she falls asleep and once she was fast asleep Jorel came and carried me back down stairs so I could relax with Jorel and we can watch our television shows or movies if we wanted to watch them during the evening before we go to bed. I texted my mom to say thanks for helping the guys get my new truck and how much I loved it.

She was happy that I love my new truck and that I already tested it out and I was no longer afraid of driving because the crash did leave me feeling afraid to drive because I didn't want to get into another crash. I was happy to snuggle into Jorel's side even though he kept moving my legs around to get them into a position where the rest of my body would be comfortable. "I love you Jorel, I'm glad you didn't leave me," I tell him. He held me tighter and kissed my temple. "I love you too Danny and of course I would never leave you baby. Till death do us part," he tells me and I repeated the last part to him. I do feel like I will be with Jorel for the long run and we will be together when we are really old.

I started to get really tired around 10 pm and Jorel noticed so he turned the television off. "Ready for bed Danny?" Jorel asks me and I nod. "Yeah, I'm surprised I haven't napped today but it's one step to get better right?" I ask him and I know I can never truly make a full recovery from this but this was as close as I can get. I saw Jorel had posted the picture that he took of me and Scarlett earlier with a cute caption saying something like this paraplegic doesn't let his legs stop him from playing with his daughter and people were really supportive even though this was the first time that they had known about the crash and my permanent injury. Everyone hoped we could tour again but we didn't know at this point if we could or not at this point.

"Right then, we'll go to bed now since you are falling asleep on me," he says and I chuckled. He was so comfy and I loved snuggling up to him like this. "Okay, I still wanna snuggle you though," I tell him and he smiles. "Of course my love, we will snuggle for as long as you want to," he tells me and I blushed. He rarely ever calls me his love but when he does I always freaking blush. He noticed that I was blushing straight away and chuckled at me. "I love it when you blush baby bear," he tells me and it just makes the whole thing worse and he knows full well it does. I hid my face in his shoulder and he rubbed my back as he carried me up to our bedroom. He sat on the bed with me and then this fun little game started up.

"Now, where has my husband gone, I swear he was here just a minute ago," Jorel says and I fought back the chuckle that was gonna happen. "He can't have gone far, where is he?" Jorel says and then he pokes my side which makes me squeal and then I started laughing. It gave me away but Jorel will start laughing because he always does. "Oh, there is my adorable husband," he says and then starts laughing. I started laughing along with him and Jorel enjoyed every minute of it. I was so tired at the end of the giggle fitting and I just snuggled up to Jorel in bed as much as my useless legs will allow. "I love you Jorel," I tell him and I kissed him on the lips. "I love you too Danny," he tells me. I am falling asleep happy for the first time in a long time.

And that is the end of the one shot. I hope you enjoyed it. Jess is writing a similar one with the same plot so we can see how a like we are to each other. I wanna know what you think down in the comments.
