(Madison had dropped the baby off that afternoon after Ephram left at her parent's house to stay for a couple of weeks)

The next morning came fast. Amy and Ephram slept in Madison's room. Ephram slept in a chair and Amy slept on one of the hospital beds. They were both very incomfortable and hardly slept.

Amy was the first to wake up that morning. She wanted to go see her father so she wrote a note to tell Ephram where she was so she wouldn't worry.

Ephram woke up at the sound of the door closing behind Amy as she left the room. He saw the note and read it:

Ephram,

Went to my father's room. I left some money on the table for you and Madison to get something to eat. I brought some with me to feed my dad and I. I'll be back soon. Love ya.

-Amy

Ephram sighed and went over to Madison's bedside. He noticed her hand move slightly.

Ephram: You awake?

Madison gradually opened her eyes.

Ephram: Hey. How are you feeling?

Madison: Sore. Hungry. Very thirsty.

Ephram: What do you feel like eating?

Madison: I don't know. What is there.

Ephram: Just name something and I'll try to find it.

Madison: Well. Pizza sounds kind of good.

Ephram: Pizza it is. I'll be right back. I'm going to go check on Amy and get some pizza, Okay?

Madison: Okay.

Ephram: See you in a little while.

Ephram walked out of the room and to Dr. Abbott's room. When he walked in he saw Amy sitting in the chair next to the bed. Bright was there too.

Bright walked over to Ephram.

Bright: Hey Ephram. What ya doin'?

Ephram: Nothing man. I just woke up.

Bright noticed the bruise on the side of Ephram's face.

Bright: Whoa! What happened to you?

Amy looked down. She didn't want her dad to know what had happened in the room the night before or what happened with Ephram and Madison. If he found out, he would tell Dr.Brown.

Ephram: Nothing..I just...slipped and hit the side of the bed.

Bright tried to touch it. Ephram slapped his hand.

Ephram: Don't touch it. It hurts.

Bright backed away.

Bright: Sorry. My curiousity got the best of me. What does that feel like?

Ephram: Well..Let's see...It hurts.

Amy(getting up and walking toward Ephram): Bright, leave him alone.

Ephram(to Amy): I was just checking up on you. I'm gonna go get some pizza for US(implying him and Madison) to eat. Do you want some?

Amy: Sure. Come get me on the way back and I'll come with you.

Ephram: Sure thing. See ya in a little bit.

Amy: See ya.

Amy gave Ephram a kiss on the cheek.

Ephram: Bye Dr.Abbott, Bright.

Harold and bright(same time): Bye.

On the way out Ephram ran into Rose.

Rose: Oh, hi Ephram. Nice to see you again.

Ephram: Nice to see you too. Have you guys eaten anything?

Rose: No, not yet.

Ephram: Well don't worry about it. I'll bring you back some pizza.

Rose: You don't have to do that Ephram.

Ephram: Don't worry about it. Please.

Rose: Okay. See you.

Ephram: See ya.

Ephram went to go get some pizza. He ordered three extra large pizzas because he knows how much Bright can eat sometimes.

He got back to Amy, dropped off one and a half of those pizzas, picked Amy up, and headed back to Madison's room.

When they got there Madison was laying in the bed wide awake.

Amy walked over to the bed.

Amy: Hey Madison. How are you feeling?

Madison: I'm a little sore, but I'll be okay. How are you?

Amy: I'm doin' fine. Thanks.

Ephram: I got one and a half supreme pizzas.

Madison: One and a HALF?

Ephram: Yeah, I ordered three extra large pizzas and gave one half of the order to Bright, Dr. and Mrs. Abbott.

Madison: Oh. Sounds good to me.

Ephram: And for drinks, we got some Gatorade and water. The nurse said you couldn't have soda so that is what we have.

Ephram, Amy, and Madison ate and then talked for what seemed like 3 hours but was really only about 1 hour.

Amy: I have to get back to my dad. I'll see you later.

Amy once again kissed Ephram on the cheek as she heaed out the door.

Madison: What happened to Amy's dad?

Ephram: He was in a car accident. He is the reason I was even allowed to be in Boulder. I had to give Amy a ride here.

Madison: You're dad doesn't know you are with me right now?

Ephram: Actually...He forbid me to go near you this week.

As soon as Ephram had said that the door opened and Dr. Brown came in.

Ephram: Dad? What are you doing here?

I can explain.

Andy: You better.

After him came in Nina.

Nina: Ephram. Can you show me where Amy's room is? I need to go see her. Is she okay now?

Ephram: Umm...yeah. Can you hold on a few minutes dad?

Andy: I suppose buut hurry.
