Chapter 8
---------------------------
Love starts with a hug,
grows with a kiss, and
ends with a tear!

"MOMMY! MOMMY!!! HELP ME!!! MOMMY" I sat straight up in bed hearing the distraught voice of my son. "MOMMY!" He screeched again. I looked around the dark room, sweating from my restless sleep. I felt Carter's hand on my arm. "I'll get it baby." He said kissing my forehead. He slowly crept out of the room, I could hear the floor boards creaking and rushed out of bed to join him. He turned around staring at me in the poorly lit hallway, he held his hand out and I gratefully accepted it. "MOMMY! DADDY! HELP PLEASE!" We sped up the stairs, and threw open the door to the twins room. Logan tossed and turned in bed, screaming out to us. "Logan, Logan." Carter whispered, grabbing Logan, jolting him back to reality. He looked at us dumbfounded, breathing heavily, "Mommy," he murmurs, on the verge of tears.
"Right here baby." I say reaching, for my son and pulling him into my arms.
"Where's Jer?" He croaks.
"Hospital." Carter answers rubbing Logan's back soothingly.
"Oh- why aren't you with him?"
"Daddy is going in soon, Susan offered to stay with Jer, while mommy and daddy get some sleep." I answered, Carter leaned in and kissed Logan's sweaty head.
"Can you back to sleep?" He asked. Logan shook his head no.
"I want to sleep with you guys." He said pulling on my t shirt. Carter nodded at me and I picked Logan up and the three of us, walked into Carters room. I Laid down on one side of the bed, Carter on the other and Logan in between us both. Logan snuggled up close to me, Carter moved closer so he could get in on the moment. Carter put his arm around Logan's body which reached over and around my waist also. We were all lulled into sleep.
"Ugh." I slammed my fist towards to alarm clock, sitting up in bed. It was 6 clock, I was back to the hospital to spend time with my son. He had been in there for 2 weeks all ready and was slowly recovering. He would live, and would be able to walk. I missed him though, I just wanted a normal life, with a normal family. I looked over at Carter, who had Logan's head resting on his chest, each breathing to their own rhythm. I brushed the hair our of Carters face, leaning down and kissing them both on the cheek. I didn't have to work today, and Carter did, but Nanny Kelly was coming over to watch the kids while I was at the hospital. I haven't spent much time with the other four since the accident. Carter and I ended up falling asleep in his bed last night. I just needed some comforting and so did he, its been a tough last couple of years. I am ready for it to start settling down.

"hey guys." I said opening my arms to give Lexie a hug.
"Hey mommy." She replied. I kissed the top of Lexie's head. Letting her sit in my lap leaning her head against my chest. Logan jumped up on to a drowsy Jeremy's bed, giving him mighty beans. "I got these for you." He said opening Jeremy's hand and placing the beans into his palm, closing his fingers around them. Jeremy smiled weakly. "The kids wanted to see you." Kelly said leaning against the frame of the door.
"Thanks for bringing them by." I smile. Zachary climbs up onto the bed with Logan. He always does whatever Logan does. He looks up to him. Mason, opens the door walking out. Kelly smiles at me, and turns around to chase after him. I run my hands through Lexies, red tangled hair, bringing out my brush to brush her knots out. Kelly must not of been able to get her to sit still. "Daddy!" Zachary exclaims, as Carter walks in holding a giggling Mason. "Kelly went to get some coffee. I've got a camera." He says walking over to the bed and placing Mason beside Logan. Logan shimmies his way next to Jeremy lying next to him in bed. Jeremy pulls Lexie out of my arms and I gently place her on his lap. He holds her tightly and protectively. While Logan grabs for Zac placing him on his lap for the picture. I knew this would be a problem when the kids were older. Jeremy, Logan and Zac would be close. They would all protect Lexie, while Mason would not be as close with them. Carter walked over to the bed, pushing the chair next to the bed, Mason sat down on it, legs sprawled out and smiled weakly. Its my picture perfect family. It would be more perfect if my son were well, but I'll take his recovery over nothing.

"Hey, I brought you some coffee." I smile up at him thankfully and take the coffee from him sipping on it ever so carefully as not to scold my mouth. "How's he doing?" Carter asks still hovering over me. "Better. He's sleeping finally."
I stand up and walk over to the other side of the bed to adjust the IV tubes, Carter sits down in my seat, I walk back over sitting on his lap, he wraps his arms around me and I feel safe, with him and Jeremy. "He looks better." I start.
"Yeah, he does." I feel Carter's head snuggle in closer to me, I lean my head back. and sigh. I don't know why I ever pushed Carter away. I am still mad at him, for saying certain things to me. But he has just been so great through these last couple of years, raising my 5 beautiful children all by himself. "I love these kids." I say.
"Me too." I position my body so I can look Carter in the eye, and lean down and kiss him, deep, passionate but soft. When we break apart. He looks at me and smiles. "What was that for?" He inquires.
"I have three and a half years to make up for." I giggle. He smiles, at me. I love being here with him, and I have a feeling everything could begin to go right. In all our lives. Logan starts his new school after Christmas which is in one week. Hopefully Jeremy will be home for Christmas. It would be nice to have all of us together, again. "Hey I was thinking." Carter said nervously bringing me out of my thoughts. "I was thinking that maybe we could turn your bedroom into a play room." He was playing with my belt.
"Where would I sleep?" I teased.
"With me." He beamed. I nodded and leaned in for another kiss.
