When Peter started to wake up he felt horrible. And it wasn't his
body either. His head ached terribly and his throat was dry. He had
something wrapped around his head really tight and it was almost making it
feel numb.
He opened his eyes and saw darkness all around him, by the time his eyes became more clear he realized he was laying in his bed, deep under the covers.
"What... happened?" Peter mumbled aloud to himself.
As Peter started to sit up pain shot from his head and felt like it went all the way down to his hand. He thought someone was stabbing a knife right through his forehead. A shout of pain left his mouth and echoed through the silent room.
Peter laid back down and rubbed his forehead, moaning.
"Peter? Are you awake?"
"Who's there?!" Peter asked, feeling a panic rise in him.
A light flipped on and Peter covered his eyes to prevent being blinded. Once adjusted he saw Seth standing over by the door, in his green, plaid, pajama pants and a bare chest.
Peter relaxed a little, at first he thought it was Hook. It'd be great for Hook to find him in bed, not being able to move.
"It's just me," Seth said.
"What happened?" Peter asked quietly, after a moment or so.
Seth kind of lagged as he walked closer to Peter, "Well, Mom and Dad wouldn't really tell me much of anything... But they were acting crazy, so something bad must of... How are you feeling?"
Peter shrugged and laid back onto his pillows- rubbing his forehead.
"How long have I been out?" Peter asked.
"Well... it's Thursday night and you've been out for days. You were in the hospital again until yesterday morning and Dad brought you home," Seth explained.
Peter didn't say anything, and kept rubbing his head.
"Well, I'll be right back..." Seth said and dashed from the room. Peter didn't care to think of where he was going.
A few minutes later Danny came into the room, Seth shortly behind him.
"Hey bud, how are you feeling?" Danny asked.
Peter looked over at him slowly, squinting his eyes a little.
"Fine," Peter answered.
They didn't say much more. But Danny invited Peter to come and have some dinner in the kitchen, so Peter did since his stomach was growling so badly with hunger pains.
"Here, put hot water in this..." Danny said to Peter, giving him a pot.
Peter took it and looked at it- not knowing what Danny had wanted him to do. Hot water? He didn't know where to get hot water.
After realizing Peter was just standing there, flipping the pot around in his hands and looking at it as if he didn't know what it was, Danny said, "Over there is the sink, just lift up the faucet and wait till it gets hot or warm,"
Peter still didn't understand, but not wanting to look stupid he went over to what he guessed as the sink and looked over at Danny, unsure of himself. Since Danny was too busy picking something out in the cabinet he didn't notice Peter looking at him.
As Peter was about to pull up the faucet he heard giggles from behind the wall that lead to the hallway. He looked over and saw Julie's face sneak a peek at him.
"Daddy! He doesn't know what he is doing!" Julie finally shouted.
Danny looked up and over to her, then over to Peter.
"I do too," Peter said and lifted up the faucet. Water sprayed out, making Peter jump a mile backwards and drop the pan.
Danny came over and turned off the water and looked over at Peter, who was clutching his chest and breathing heavy.
"Haha!" Julie laughed. Danny scowled her and she left, still laughing a bit at Peter's stupidity.
"Are you ok?" Danny asked.
Peter was flushing was embarrassment, "YES! I am fine! Leave me alone and stop asking me that!"
"Peter!" Danny shouted as Peter started from the kitchen.
Danny grabbed Peter's shoulder gently- trying to keep him back but Peter just shoved him off and continued from the kitchen. Just then Mandi came in with a bag of grocery's.
"Hi Peter! You're awake!" Mandi said, Peter just shoved past her and went down the hall to the stairs that led downstairs to his room.
"What's up?" Mandi asked curiously as she set the bag on the counter.
"Well, it's the weirdest thing. He woke up and Seth came and got me, then I was going to make him some supper and I had him get me some water in the pan but he acted like he didn't know how to work a faucet. It was like it scared him," Danny said.
"Really? Hmm," Mandi said, frowning and looking after Peter.
"Yeah, maybe I'll just go run to McDonald's to get him something to eat. I'll go see if he wants to go, and maybe we'll get a movie too," Danny said.
"Okay, honey. Where is everyone?" Mandi asked.
"The boys fell asleep watching Elmo and you had Meagan. Julie has been a wonder- she laughed at Peter when he got scared so I sent her away. Seth was in his room but now I think he is outside to fetch Kayden who was down at the park skateboarding," Danny said.
"Well, Maggie fell asleep in the car on the way home so I just set her down on our bed. I was going to go change her and put her in her crib after I brought the frozen stuff in," Mandi said.
Danny nodded, "I'm going to talk to Peter,"
Danny walked to Peter's room and knocked on the shut door. At first there was no answer, but then he heard Peter shout, "Go away!"
"Can't I come in? I was wondering if you wanted to get dressed and I'll take you to the movie gallery-- it's only 8:30. They're open until 10. And we could get a bite to eat at McDonalds," Danny said, jiggling the doorknob.
Inside the room Peter felt dumber then dumb. What was a Movie Gallery? He had this cool looking stuff in his room and he didn't know what it was, or how to work it. He had spent the last 100 years in Neverland and rarely came to the real world. He did only to see Wendy... but after a few years the Darlings had moved and he was to never see them again.
"Come on Peter, please open the door." Danny said.
"Ha! You're never going to get that trick down!" came Seth's voice.
"Hey! I'm only 10- you're getting too old to do anything. All you want to do lately is sleep!" Kayden said.
Danny turned around to see his two sons coming down into the family room. Kayden went into the bathroom and Seth sat on the couch and stared at Danny.
"What are you doing Dad?" Seth asked.
Kayden peaked his head around the corner of the bathroom, his face sweaty and dirty.
"Nothing, I was going to bring Peter up to get something to eat and maybe a movie," Danny said.
Seth gave him a dirty look and looked down to the carpet. Danny was so preoccupied with getting Peter to come out he didn't notice his son's anger.
"Peter, come on," Danny said again.
"I'm getting dressed," came Peter's voice.
Danny sighed with relieve, he had hoped Peter would come.
He opened his eyes and saw darkness all around him, by the time his eyes became more clear he realized he was laying in his bed, deep under the covers.
